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

The Tipperary supporters canā€™t fucking win. If we thought we had a chance weā€™d say so and be called cocky.
We give an honest acessment of where we are and weā€™re giving the poor mouth.
The sooner Sunday comes and weā€™re knocked out the better.

My heart is breaking for you, pal (mate)

Agreed.

Galway against anyone in the final will be 50/50 game. Dont think any beating Tipp if they got there

You canā€™t keep the Galway cunts happy pal.

Sure they only lost last year because of injuries. If Eoin Kelly didnā€™t commit GBH on Ollie Canning back in '10, theyā€™d have beaten us then. And letā€™s not get started on 1989, as the bitterness is still strong there.

If we came on here giving it big licks about being a traditional hurling county, theyā€™d be going on about our arrogance and our inability to win back-to-backs (despite still winning 5 (five) all Irelands since their last)

We bate them in '71 and weā€™ll bate them again

This thread is very disappointing this year.

Can you give them a wallpaper scraper each and send them out to the slatted shed to scrape shit off the slats?

Theyā€™re proā€™s at it. The creches in Tipp have a deal done with the IFA on this crackā€¦ messy play time consists of being dropped at a local farm for a few hours.

Same here. Iā€™m trying to pace myself. No fucking doubt weā€™ll be at each otherā€™s throats by Friday. Youā€™ll be in Canada Iā€™ll be in lanzarotte. Until then letā€™s just enjoy each otherā€™s e-company. You loner cunt.

Slats ?? In Galway ? Jayses lad slow down. They still winter cattle in a grove of trees up there.

Iā€™ve never thought the injuries held Galway back last year. They played just as well after them as before. It was just a game that could have gone either way, and went the way of Tipp.
I still think Galway are better than last year and are able to win if they play well. They will battle for absolute certain.

+1 pal I canā€™t wait to read 20 stories from you before then, a mix of twee family shite and epic tales of you hoodwinking spanish bell boys and bar staff

Some first class bogger banter going on here.

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.

Youā€™ll get away with that against Dublin because theyā€™re shit and against Wexford because they donā€™t 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 arenā€™t 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 havenā€™t 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.

Colm Galvin and Jamie Barron are probably the two best midfielders in the game and both are small.

Ignore. Too much wine last night

:astonished::astonished:

Would you fuck off pal with your reasoned posts? We need to up the ante on the bile and hatred :joy:

Iā€™d worry about our fitness going down the stretch.
