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

No. Brendan Maher will not play CB. He might sit in a more defensive position & leave Breen with freedom to get forward as much as he likes.

Personally, I donā€™t see any of the above happening. I donā€™t think the Galway HF have the pace that makes a sweeper set up a necessity.

There is a big chance the midfielders will drop for puck outs as Galway have good Half Forwards under puckouts.

We canā€™t let Joe Supermac play a quarterback role bud.

Iā€™m the dense cunt?
If Brendan Maher drops back and marks Joe Canning, which is what @@Mullach_Ide suggested (who unlike you knows something about hurling), are you suggesting Tipp will leave Burke or Coen unmarked and play with one midfielder? That would be lovely if true, but ainā€™t going to happen.

Meh.

If our forwards considerably up their work rate from the League Final ( they will ) then the supply of easy ball to BIG Joe will disappear faster than his Supermacs Meals.

I told ye lads, Jackie Cahill is only the Tipp :wink: of the iceberg.

I suggested no such thing will happen. :rollseyes:

Nobody suggested you did.

Off you go to the US Politics thread, mate.

@sidney has time to school you.

The heat is on

Heā€™s well rattled Joe.

Is Ryan going to persist with Hamill at 3, and leave poor Barry in the corner?

There has to be consequences if half your county go by the surname Ryan.

Mickey Cahill will wake up sunday morning around 3am with the pajamas stuck to him with sweatā€¦ the pillow sopping. There will be a lonely desperate whimper heard around Thurles if anyone cares to listen. If any of ye see him at mass on Sunday, put an arm around him.

Itā€™s a 50/50 game, Joe.

The Galway lads canā€™t help losing the run of themselves though. KK being out of the fold was enough to raise their dander. The League Final result was a serious performance but Tipp were off the pace.

Tipp on the other hand have improved from the Cork game offensively in a big way. The Full Back Line is a serious issue which is open to aggressive exposure this weekend. Unless Tipp can pressure the precision clearances off the GY defenders we could get a serious bating.

I think Tippā€™s scope for improvement & Galways lack of game time levels this out nicely.
A master class of forward play by Tipp can see them home, if GY stop that happening then they should win by 5 + points.

Why Joe, we are playing the AI champions and possibly the greatest team of all time.

Greatest team of criminals and cowards of all time to boot.

Nasty shower, you wouldnt see KK carry on like that after one AI victory.
