Yeah, POTENTIALLY - you left out a key word there. The performance of that half back line gave them the platform to win last year's All-Ireland in the replay - it was the key line. They cleaned us out.... If they keep that standard of performance up for eight years I would say yeah, they would be. - Buckley, Joyce, Padraig Walsh - it's such a strong line. They compliment each other very well. You don't think so?

You have to remember that Forde is 21 years old... - some players mature differently. He's been our best underage product for a long time ... I wouldn't doubt anything about him

Thats true and i suppose what put extra pressure on young Forde was the meteoric rise of Bubbles the same year. Forde probably lacked a bit of confidence whereas Bubbles has no shortage of it. Both excellent sticksmen.

True enough - John O'Dywer is that bit older too - two more years of experience.

John is also a very different person - you couldn't get two more different people.

I like the shape of our forward line - noelie will find it hard to get back in if the forwards can keep it up. It's that bit more balanced...

Brendan did the geroid ryan role very well yesterday. Noelie's best chance might be midfield later...but there's stiff competition there too...

Does anyone know if O'Riordan and O'Brien are committed to the under 21 hurlers this year?

I hope they are more committed to the Senior Footballers as long as we are the competition! I think it was a mistake by Bill Maher, Kilsheelan not to commit to the footballers this year!

Very sad news, one of the true greats of hurling.

Very saddened by the news of Jimmy Doyle. A man who once said "I'd do it all over again if I could I loved it" (referring to his hurling days)

Jimmy was gent. I met him a couple of times at Bothar Naoimh on Saturday evenings for 6.30.

I never saw him play but his reputation is enough for this poster.

R.I.P. Jimmy.

Anyone know when Noel McGrath is due back or how his treatment is going?

evolving tipperary

He is back doing light training and sitting on the bench on sunday - but, not as a sub. I'm unsure as to what stage his treatment is at.

Team is stronger than last year AFAIK.
Peters, Tynan and Quirke very good players. Core group of players very good...
Anyone know what sport Tynan is thinking of continuing on with? Has played county minor in Gaelic and hurling and played for Leinster u18 schools in rugby..
Will he be able to keep all sports going to the fairly high level he has been playing them to in the past year or two. Anyone know what sport(s) he may play if going up the grades???

Well before my time but have heard plenty of stories about the legendary Jimmy Doyle. Ring supposedly said if he was a bit bigger there would be no doubts as to who the greatest of all time was, tells you how highly he was rated nationwide and not just in Tipp. I hear he had a book due out in the next month or two also, a pity he won't be around to launch it but I am sure it will be a huge success. I am sure he will be fondly remembered in GAA circles everywhere. More proof of his adoration in Thurles was the new road connecting from the college to the Templemore road being named after him, not too many people would have that privilege while still alive.

RIP Jimmy Doyle

I had assumed Waterford would insist on a neutral venue, ie the Gaelic Grounds.

They have no interest in playing there. It would be worth some money to Thurles, I can see a huge crowd at this final.

He picked hurling ahead of football this year before going back in with the footballers recently. He has another year left in the Cistercian College so that'll mean another Leinster Schools campaign and little hurling time. I'm not sure has he got the size to make the grade in professional rugby. I read an interview with Brian O Driscoll a few weeks back and he said Gordon Darcy and him would have been deemed too small to make it if they were entering an academy nowadays. It would be great to see him commit to the hurling because he has massive potential.
