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

I can see either 2 scenarios here ; Tipp to win by a point or two or Galway to win easy.

Tipp have the forward s but Galway will be.way sharper then Clare were

Out of form Bonner? He lost the ball a few times going into the tackle but his workrate was savage.

Patrick Maher exacted a significant influence at centre-forward registering 32 plays, getting on the ball 22 times, scoring 0-2 (plus one shot wide and one short), assisting with 0-3 and also set up another shot which was missed. The Lorrha man won two puck-outs and six turnovers. Although Maher was turned over five times in the tackle he was also Tipperary’s top tackler (registering ten).

He is not match fit, Joe.

He seems to have lost a bit of pace but he was very good against Clare

Is that the only reason?

Fitness is the reason.

and Dublin, his striking lets him down in my opinion but some man to get the ball in hand from a ruck.

Bolox Maher is playing with his head down against awful Clare backs who’s first tactic is to fowl. He’s slowed down a bit too but will suit the Galway half back line.

Ball winner

I think the Clare backs did ok

We will be fine @Joe_Player. Our lads like Croke Park and will go well. Noel Mc will drift out and pick off some long range scores. Bonner will run at the fuckers all day long. His hurling is getting slightly sharper every game since his return from GI Joe duties. We will put it up the cunts. I don’t think there’ll be many personnel changes from the Clare game.

Tipp by 4. Up yer bollix @KinvarasPassion @flattythehurdler and other decent sorts from Galway.

No, it’s not and you know well.

Between what him and his brother did - to the state of him at Darkness into light and other occasions, Ryan has had enough.

THis will Be the first game galway will have played that they won’t be facing 2/3 sweepers since tipp in the league final. The lack of goals is misleading.

We’ve already conceded 7 goals in the championship. We will do well to concede only 2 against Galway.

Edit: we’ve conceded six as @Mullach_Ide reminded me

was it 7

3 v Clare
1 v Dublin and Westmeath
2 v Cork

None v Westmeath, :ronnyroar:
