Waterford will be more than happy with a 3rd place finish and a first round Robin qualification at the 5th time of asking.
Hard to see anything other than a draw in Limerick next week. Particularly with Cork looking the best team in the Championship now. Can’t win an All Ireland though if you don’t make it out of the province.
I heard they were spotted there in the plaza in Tipp Town with a laptop and excel spreadsheet open on it…Davy had a bottle of Fanta and a packet of biscuits open on the counter in supermacs until one of the staff ran them for not buying anything…
Should have been a black card/penalty combo earlier when TK was dragged down galloping towards goal, he had a worse angle minutes later and banged in a goal when left unmolested
I’m just leaving the Plaza in Tipp Town. It’s quite the sight. Thronged with Waterford fans and there’s been a good few Tipperary fans arriving in last 15-20 minutes or so. The mood is sombre and angry.
The Villa soccer crowd from Waterford have just arrived now too. They were beaten on penalties by some crowd in Limerick called Pike Rovers in the FAI Cup. They feel they were robbed too by a few hometown decisions.
Clare were absolutely brutal today, Waterford beat them off the park and can feel justifiably pissed off with the result, they’ll make Limerick battle for it next week,
Tipp didn’t have the legs for Cork, a good day for our lads, Tipp aren’t set up to defend against that pace at all, but I was worried enough until about 45 minutes
There’s much bigger challenges ahead if they progress from here
It’s some melting pot! There’s a busload of Carkies from Mitchelstown after arriving now. They were making a lot of noise that they’re on the march now and going to win the All Ireland. The Waterford crowd have been telling them that the draw is arranged with Limerick next week to knock out Cork.
So essentially every crowd of supporters here now has a gripe. Thankfully no Limericks here.
