You’re correct.

Tae in mug for me

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.

They are not my stats mate, the audit trail doesn’t lie.

Bonner will clean house against Galway, he will be directly involved in at least two Tipp goals

Hate will drive him on.

He carries too have a look back at last weekends game again

The seeth is strong on the border

Whatever about Bonnar occasionally losing the ball in the tackle ( usually against 2 or more defenders ) it’s the nightmare he is for opponents who never get a seconds peace to look up before a clearance. He works harder than any forward to win back ball or block clearances than any other I can think of.
Bonnar is hopefully peaking form wise at the right time for us.

Yea tats right

I’ll be wholeheartedly behind Tipp for this one but I’m wary of the way they lay down on front of Galway only after 5 minutes into the second half in the league final. Will they/are they capable of rising their performance to where they’re flying it again.

Have they set the precedent earlier in the year where they flop to Galway when Galway turn up the heat? Are they capable of going beyond that ceiling they set for themselves?

 I think they can and will up their game and will beat Galway but the psychology and mental strength is key to this for both teams because there's clearly nothing between them hurling wise.

Half the previous post went west there and didn’t post up.

I’m never one to be optimistic about this usually, but Galway are playing well, are tough. Seasoned, have bags of talent, and are mentally there. I expect them to win, and win the aif bar Waterford clicking absolutely.
I stand to be disappointed, but that’s what I think. If both teams play well, Galway will win a thriller by acouple.

You coming over for this?

I haven’t been this confident about beating Tipp since 2001. Tipp by 5.

Hopefully James Owens will be appointed to referee this game and Tipperary will emerge victorious in a controversial encounter.

Ye played no one yet.

Sounds familiar

[gaillimhmick]

This will go to the wire. A trilogy of great semi finals. Tipp will raise their game and Galway will bring theirs. A puck of a ball again and events on the day will determine, possibly a sending off or a key injury. I can’t wait. Four good teams left, any of which could win the AI.

You should of posted this in the GAA cliché thread. You squeezed about 10 in there.

[Aristotle]

Well, Bonner would definitely be the one. Absolutely perfect for the role, will always run straight through the middle, will scrap for everything… Get McInerney turning.

Just like this time of year from 1884-1996.
