Paddy Power seems to think not. He also thinks itâs more likely to happen to Waterford in the second semi final.
Did Paddy Power ever hurl?
He played centre forward with Tipp in the early 1900s and won an All Ireland for his trouble.
Yes . I predict John âBubblesâ O Dwyer will spend to day shadowing Paraic Mannion . He will have no interest in scoring . He will come out late for second half .
Thatâs more like it

I think that risk is overstated. The benefit of the qualifier route is that you have more games to hit your stride, so itâs probable that Tipp will take it up a level from the Clare game. But thereâs a chasm between what Galway have shown this year and what Tipp have. Galway will have so much possession that only a meltdown in front of the posts will beat them.
Tipperary hit 27 scores against Cork, 32 against Dublin and 28 against Clare. Those are very similar amounts of scores to what Galway have notched against poorer opposition so far.
Galway had valley periods of 15 minutes each in the first half against both Dublin and Wexford where the opposition were comfortably on top in the play.
Youâll get away with that against Dublin because theyâre shit and against Wexford because they donât score goals.
Tipperary generally do score goals, more than Galway score. If Tipperary were to have a 15 minute period of dominance in the first half and bang in two goals, which they could easily do, Galway might find it a lot more difficult to recover than they did against Dublin and Wexford.
But if Tipperary arenât more than 1 or 2 points ahead by the 50 minute mark, Galway will probably wear them down physically in the last 20 minutes.
Galway could win by 10 plus because up to now Tipperary havenât been up for a battle in the same way they were last year, however it would be foolish to make the assumption that that will be the case again, although it might well be.
But the last time Tipperary came through the back door, in 2014, they only kicked into gear at the semi-final stage, having been pretty unimpressive up to that. It was a similar-ish story in 2010.

If little Colm Galvin could boss Maher and Breen then David Burke will make shit of them.
Colm Galvin and Jamie Barron are probably the two best midfielders in the game and both are small.

So, to sum up, galway might win, tip might win, and the last bit is wrong.
Do you want to put your money where your mouth is Joe?
@Joe_Player has made his prediction
This will not change over the coming week.

Itâs tip all the way for me this year i said it after the seeing them in the league
Youâve stuck to your guns Joe. Hopefully we can deliver 
I be killed my grandmother is from Galway
Waterford v tip final
Do you think Waterford will beat Cork?
Not sure 
about that one. You?
I donât see it Joe. De Burca would be a massive loss to any team, but I think itâs a crippling loss for Waterford.
Yea Waterford need him is the appeal this week
It wonât be overturned. Theyâre not Cork.
Ok cork v tip final
The whole game plan in based on De Burca he will be a massive loss .
Fat Bubbles wouldnt have the engine for that craic. better off to conserve energy in the shade under the stand and hope he gets a few loose balls thrown out to him.
