Shite. It’s 3 Tipp need to win by. And they have.

1504

Dublin and Tipp both end up on -10 scoring difference but Tipp have scored more over the league.

1506

Q/F

Clare v Laois
Kilkenny v Wexford
Galway v Limerick
Tipp v Cork

1507

We did it, Yeeeeeeessssssss. :pint::clap:

RTE’s coverage there was awful. It’s not good enough for Carthy to commentate away as if it’s a challenge match with nothing at stake and is simple lack of effort and lack of research. The listener was left to work out their own maths as to who would qualify.

It wouldn’t happen on their coverage of a Champions League final group match or a World Cup finals final group match.

:smiley: hon Tipp. We weren’t great but we steamrolled them near the end. Callanan superb again, the one positive of the league is him

1511

Waterford have to be near certainties for relegation based on today’s performance

1512

I think todays result calls for a piss up in Thurles tonight.:pint:

To Callanan :pint:

1513

They can’t score goals which means they are fucked against any of the top teams.

1514

Strange league. In 1a it was almost all home wins each round. Depends on what training teams doing etc but reports of Kilkenny demise last year look premature. Cork promoted despite not really firing yet.

1515

How did Tipperary’s Ryan O’Dwyer play against Tipperary?

Should be a couple of decent games next weekend.

1516

That was really summed up today when Molumphy was straight through on goal and ended up falling over himself trying to hit the ball

1517

Waterford look doomed alright, morale cannot be high after the last 2 weeks but Dublin don’t exactly scorch the onion bag either. Their experience should tell though

1518

Kilkenny won the league last year.

1519

Wouldn’t write Waterford off yet, even after the two bad beatings of the last week. Too many good, young players in that squad.

1520

I would’nt write them off either will be a one score game v Dublin , but the Dubs have played in 2-3 of these relegation games now, that experience might swing it on a neutral venue

1521

Are the quarters / relegation playoff played at neutral venues?

1522

Wexford are at home to Wexford, the other three will be decided by coin toss. Think it has to do with the amount of home games each team has had, if it is the same then coin toss - both Clare and Laois had three home games each

Relegation game will be a neutral venue - Presume Portlaoise or Nowlan Park
