Official All Ireland Minor and U20 Hurling & Football Thread (Part 2)

They’ve played it in every game. That Fintan O’Connor loves a sweeper.

Offaly are so far ahead of them. Pity about the Cork disallowed goal as we’d have had a much better contest

Tipp lads seem to have got better feeding in the last 2 years. UĂ­bh FhailĂ­ working their socks off to create the extra options. Great game

Tipp have been outhurled but the gap on the scoreboard is negligible. They’ll get a purple patch at some stage, but need to be more direct with their forward ball. Offaly will eat them up otherwise.

Tipp are not winning this.

Wexford v Waterford in 2004? was rammed. KK v Tipp in 2013.

Can the biffos keep that pace up for the full 70 (60)?

Ravenhill appears to have landed on the bench…

That’s the question, but Tipp look a little leaden-footed already. They’ll need energy from somewhere.

If I was Tipp, I’d be fairly happy with the scoreline. If they can get better ball inside and Offaly’s tempo drops at all, they have a serious chance.

Agreed.

Offalys tempo wont drop

2004 was rammed alright but not a full sellout I think. The Biffos are some clan to get behind a good team. Won’t have that many at the Joe McDonagh final I’d guess

I don’t think so either. These fellas are on a mission.

They’re unlike any team in sports history

I reckon they will. The win tonight will roll right into Saturday

Some lads are taking that came fierce seriously, they’ll be off the beer from Tuesday

The biff are some bunch of cunts…

An underage team having a massive support can be a double edged sword. You could feel the psychological pressure hanging on Offaly late in that minor final two years ago.

Some catch, poor wide from Screeney.
