More effective for the team though. They canât all be piano players.

Did OâConnor throw a bit of an Aidan McCarthy, did I hear?
Thought tomorrow would have been a prime day to give OâDonoghue the start as he has something to offer in subsequent games.
Donât think so, has had enough chances.
Thereâs actually a good few of that UL fitzgibbon team that look great below against GMIT or Pallaskenry ag college in January that havenât pushed on.
I think thereâs a danger if you start o Donoghue then he becomes undroppable for the week after, I think Cahill wants to stick with his current full forward line and have OOD coming in.

Thereâs weaknesses there to be exploited.
Incidentally, which of them may be most put off by the smell of stale beer, piss and Guinness farts?
Lets hope Laois dont lower the blade early here like 2019.
Smart decision to take Jake out of the firing line. Some hatchetman from Camross would most likely be out to butcher him at some stage.
Just hoping all our boys come home safe and sound and are ready for the following week. This is such a joke of a fixture I think it could be its last edition in the calendar.

Can you throw Pawdee out for 5 minutes? Just to sort out unfinished business
Weâll forego the lap of honour in return.

He was in the stand with extended panel last few games. Was sitting beside or behind Darragh McCarthy for the Clare game anyway.
Himself and Bowe were doing shuttle runs in Templetuohy the morning of the Waterford match.
I think Bowe was helping out with the hurleys at the Clare game
Ah stop. Stakelum wouldnât make the offally or dublin forward line. Non -scoring forwards are not much good at inter County
Lads youâre welcome to park outside @Batigolâs mansion tomorrow - parking will be tight
Tippos donât attend games on Saturday, or if they are away, or at a neutral venue, or at home
Itâs 1:45, perfect for milking men
Would nearly expect Sam to drop back to midfield with McGarry to wing forward

McGarry is a classic bolter.
Surprised Tynan isnât starting. Heâs not the best hurler but brings an edge that can be very useful.
I believed classic bolters were consigned to the past what with S&C advances & the school of thought that players couldnât just be parachuted in any moreâŚtheyâd need to build up their capabilities in camp. Whoâs this McGarry chap, and as TFKâs foremost student of the game @peddlerscross, could you please provide some examples of the classic bolter genre?
John Kiely buckleppinâ on a car reminded me of Wexfordâs over exuberant U21 Leinster title winning celebrations way back in 2001 (although the Gardai became involved back then). Senior gaffer Tony Dempsey fired a load of them into the senior side for the quarter final against Limerick after a Leinster Final thumping v Kilkenny. That game gets fondly recalled on TFK every 16 months or soâŚDoc OâConnor, Trevor Kelly, Ger Coleman, Nicky Lambert & so on thrown in to join Rory Mallon. Lambert terrorising the Limerick goalie (Houlihan?), Fitzhenryâs two goals. A plethora of bolters the likes of which will never happen again.
Great days. The subsequent draw & replay against Tipp. LarryOâs 2 goal salvo the first day, Brian OâMeara getting Liam Dunne sent off the second day, Gaffer Dempsey revving Mitch Jordan up at half time only for Jordan to tell him heâd been sent off just before half time.

Peter McGarry, St Maryâs (Clonmel).
Must be about 22. Was on u20s 2 years back anyway. Plenty of pace and hurling in him. Wears a yellow Cooper helmet.

Those unfashionable Mycroâs have no place in Tipperary hurling

End product wasnât there when he was u20, looked sharp last week. Big step up for him.
