Galway v Tipperary - All Ireland Senior Hurling Semi-Final 2017

I believe so, it’s also true he is a fat headed cunt of a man.

Yeah it was very poor

Paudie Maher was better

Which two poor clearances from James Barry resulted in points from Canning at the end, mate?

Correct. He teaches our lads how to tackle properly. He taught them in Tipp too but they didn’t pay heed.

I think its been generally accepted that Adrian Tuohy was MOTM

He was poor in the first half

John Hanbury has been widely accepted in Manchester as MOTM

If you’re calling that last clearance from James Barry a bad clearance, you either haven’t watched it back or don’t have a clue. He did brilliantly to get any clearance away at all, let alone hit it about 70 yards. It was a 50:50 ball as well

Would you concur that Coens pass to Canning for the winner was a blatant throw? Hand passes are not being officiated, now it’s hard to spot most lads who foul the ball but Coen made no effort to hand pass it. It was the clearest throw ball I’ve seen in years.

Canning point was still an unbelievable score from that angle, distance & pressure of incoming tacklers.

Thats a coincedence in fairness that it also came at a time when it cost your own county a game

The one he hit himself and the one Ronan Maher hit for him.

It was harry, but throwing is just accepted now. It has been so widespread in this year’s championship, that to call a throw now would be perverse.

Handpasses havent been officiated for the best part of 10 years. I suspect Tipperary, like all other counties, have been on the good and bad side of a few of them. Imagine were we to start blowing up every questionable one, it’d be like the time the GAA decided to try and clean up the fist pass in gaelic football.

When did he move from teaching in Birr?

Touhy was gash in the first half. I still don’t know why Gerry Mc got it. It happened a few times where he won a great ball and then either gave it away or lost it. Whelan followed closely by Mannion were Galway’s MOM.

It wasn’t Barry.

Cahill or Ronan Maher.

the work Coen did to win the ball lay it into Cannings hand and then to charge into the tipp player who would have simply blocked canning without this intervention seems to be overlooked in the race to canonise a player who was very very very poor for the first 70% of the game.

I’ve already been VINDICATED, mate.

Hanbury had his best game for Galway on Sunday. If I’m correct he was marking Bubbles who got 3 points. Two of them were exceptional.
