Stop talking shit for the sake of it Fagan!
Regarding the minor final, Porter should have started instead of Lyons, the full back line needed to be stronger, thought he did well when introduced. Us having an extra man in the full back line was of no use whatsoever. It seemed to rotate between Finn and Lyons, sometimes it seemed as if LTC was the free man. Not shifting Colin Ryan up into the forwards was another glaring mistake, and as for Ronan Lynch staying at corner…god only knows what Brian Ryan was thinking there. Ryan managed to do KK’s job for them by totally negating the effectiveness of one of our best players.
If Tom Ryan got 20 questions after Wexford in '96, well his namesake Brian deserves 40 after last Sunday’s horror show.

What was your criteria for rating Tipperary at No 5? That’s just downright bizarre when you consider how this year’s Leinster Minor championship was so much stronger than its Munster counterpart and Tipperary were eliminated on the last day of April by a Clare side (who you’ve ranked at No 8) having failed to win a game.

Galway, Antrim and soon Kerry play in the Leinster Hurling Championship, and this confuses you?
average enough Dublin team too, both offaly and Wexford had opportunities to knock them out but both of them wasted it and Dublin did just about enough to get thru.
Tipp look to have a couple of serious players, particularly up front.
Gleeson looks ready to head straight into senior next year.
Tipp are strong where both Cork and Limerick are weakish.
