I donāt think Tipp have that luxury at the moment. Did he not have a fairly good championship last year?
He scored 1-2 v Clare.
Poor in the Munster final and got a few scores v Waterford. He was ok.
This fella was 6ā4/6ā5 Iād say.
Double ankle fracture for Connors apparently.
Havenāt seen enough of Connolly to confirm but youād often see lads who are big themselves are a bit dumbfounded when an even bigger lad is on them because theyāre not used to trying to stop a lad rather than having the advantage themselves and catching it.
Like Paudi Maher on Aisake or Johnny Glynn.
And the wind was ridiculous too so very hard to set yourself up positionally.
Tipp probably would have won if they didnāt balloon so many shots. They missed a fair amount of frees, and Stakelum had one that was definitely going over on a normal day but he hit it so high, it ended up being blown back about 15 metres.
No chance of it.
This is the fourth management set-up heās been under, and bar some time in the Eamon OāShea era, no manager has rushed to put him in the backs. My own auld lad has been going on for years that he should be full back based on his minor displays a decade ago! If he was up for being in the backs, that would have happened a long time ago in my opinion.
His been hugely inconsistent for Tipp. Sheedy signalled him out as a lad who does a lot that goes unseen, but fuck me, he must have better eyesight than me. Heās got size, hurling and pace, but just canāt seem to get it all together.
In saying that, Iād be shocked if heās not starting come championship
I have watched him off the ball on a number of occasions and wouldnāt say his work rate is good.
I knew theyād win today.
Cappa-shite
West Tipp ffs sake
FBD Semple Stadium for the next five years.
New jersey sponsors to be announced next week.
I imagine they are getting good coin for the naming rights but it doesnāt sit right with me at all. Hearing Darren Frehill on the radio on Sunday Sport telling us they are returning to Martin Kiely in FBD Semple Stadium is galling.
FBD is probably more palatable than most sponsors as the farming community will at least have heard of them.
Still very disappointing news.
Any word how much they are getting for it? Iād imagine it is the most lucrative GAA stadium deal currently.
Darren will call it SBG
DBF Semple Stadium.
Will you light a bonfire this evening?
The good times are back lads
