    Breen only takes frees for Ballina when the regular free taker (corner forward, name escapes me) is off the field.

    Seymour is a terrible free taker, very bad and nearly cost his club the county final - ironically he only ended up on the frees when the county final hero McLoughney lost form on them.

    I said Breen has been known to take a free. I didn't say he was the free taker.

    To say Seymour is a terrible free taker and offer one game as an example - a game he scored at least four frees in - is bizarre. To use the word terrible suggests he couldn't hit a barn door.
    I think he scored near enough to 10 fees in the semi final. I've seen him score a fair amount of frees - has his wides too, like every free taker - but to say he is terrible. No way. But sure he's terrible. Takes frees for the county champions, he's terrible...:rolleyes:

    I have known Billy since he was under 10 and have seen him hurl all the way up, he is a terrible free taker for the standard we are talking about.

    He ended up as free taker for Kildangan by default, he missed six frees in the County Final and he missed 3 in the semi final, 6 in the quarter final and 4 in the first game against Drom. Bryan McLoughney was Kildangans free taker at the start of the year, Willie Connors took over and only when both had failed was Seymour given the job, he had never taken frees underage, McLoughney was the free taker on that team all the way up.

    You can roll your eyes all you want but it was a stupid statement, apart from the fact that he hasn't even made a match day squad and we are less than a month from Championship.

    :rolleyes: Know him do ya? What's that got to do with anything?
    I hope he's not listening to you is all I can say.
    I'm well aware of how he came to take the frees.
    Fantastic player - good free taker as well. You couldn't be more wrong.
    We're talking about free takers on the Tipp panel. I made a list - he was well down on it.
    What has match squads and championship got to do with that? You're off running with the loose marbles in your head again.

    He took a few frees before Jake went on them for the under 20s. Took sidelines too - I'd say Liam Cahill would use the word terrible about him too. Lord above.

    Well it would be very hard for him to take frees for Tipp if he isn't on the field, I thought that was fairly obvious!

    And no he did not take the frees before Jake Morris, ever. Jake Morris was taken off in the first match against Waterford having scored 11 from 11 on the frees, Billy took over for the last 15 mins and scored 3 from 5.

    Right, so if posters have discussed Forde and Noel and Callanan as the free takers and wonder about other possible free takers, and someone compiles a list of free takers within the squad that have been known to hit a free now and again - there are more on the squad - and you pick out someone who is about sixth or seventh on that list, that doesn't even include Forde or Noel, you assume that the poster is suggesting that the player sixth or seventh on that list will take frees for Tipp in the upcoming championship? That's your logic?
    It's because you have a problem with me as a poster and rather than follow the thread you'd try and single out a point in one of my posts.

    And Billy took those frees, and that suggests to you, in your brain, that he is a TERRIBLE free taker... second in line on an intercounty set up? You're just wrong.
    Maybe, you got embarrassed because you made a point about John McGrath taking frees but you didn't know he already had a go at them with Tipp senior and it didn't go well - you're embarrassed very easily.

    If you post something stupid then expect to be pulled up on it, simple really. Don't try and make it personal to deflect away from the fact that you posted something beyond foolish and then dug your feet in and dug a bigger hole for yourself.

    I am sure other posters have better things to do than reading our squabbles so I will leave it there rather that drag the thread further off topic.

    No more or less than any other county I think. We could all probably confidently name 11-12 of the team that will start against Waterford/Clare and we know what way Tipp will hurl. My stab at the Championship 15 would be;

    Barry Hogan

    C Barrett P Maher B Heffernan

    B Maher S Kennedy R Maher

    A Flynn P Cadell

    N McGrath S Callanan D McCormack

    Bubbles J Forde J McGrath

    That 15 would give any team a good run for their money. We have some good options off the bench then as well such as W Connors, J Morris, M Keohe, M Breen, B McGrath, N O'Meara and B O'Mara

    I'd agree with most of that.
    I'd be asking myself though - do we need the physical presence of Dan in midfield but we are missing Bonner in the half line now.
    Cadell is a natural player - a real reader of the game and can open up a defence but has he arrived yet? Got caught in possession a few times against Galway. He is on the smaller side, but he is the opposite of Breen. Maybe they're a pairing, but Breen hasn't been consistent. I'd go for Cadell too at midfield because we need that kind of creativity and reading of the game there if Noelie is up front.
    I think Flynn gets better every year - but has he found the consistency and confidence required yet? I think he might be ready to take off at this level, it's a big year for him.
    Why Callanan at 11?

    Yeah 8-12 are the most open I think. I really like Cadell and he brings great energy, my biggest fear, and it touches on what you said about loosing possession, is that he seems very one sided.

    Breen is an enigma, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground with him, either outstanding or awful, think he might be better off the bench.

    Callanan at 11 is really only because I think Forde is a far better Full Forward than he is anywhere else, whereas Seamie is more versatile and his work rate is higher off the ball. In reality the way Tipp play the forwards will rotate like mad so I don't think its a big deal where they actually start.

    Sheedy showed in particular in 2019 that he is very flexible re positions and likes to play horses for courses and get the match ups right, I think depending on the opposition both of the McGraths could spend time at 11 as well, particularly when the opposition are playing a very deep centre back. Same applies with our defenders, I would say with the exception of Barrett any of the other 5 would be comfortable in any of the 6 defensive positions.

    Yeah I'd go along with most of that, in my opinion Barry Hogan in goal works better over Brian Hogan. He seems a better shot stopper. The backs seem relatively set, its midfield up that gets harder. Flynn is a great workhorse in the middle, Cadell is young but very capable while Breen is outstanding on his day but horribly inconsistent. Could Noel go to midfield and Breen in half forward for parts of games? I do like Seamie out in around half forward as he has the physical presence nd can pick passes. Forde is best at 14. Will John McGrath start?
    Lots to ponder, its been a good league so far, tested players and with a bit of luck could have won all 4 games, setting up nicely for championship.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,555 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Barrett can play anywhere, grew up playing in the half back line, has played in midfield for tipp and plays midfield or in the forwards for the club.

    Think the backs are fairly well settled, there's definitely a few spots up for grabs and sheedy will be swayed by good performances this weekend.

    I like Breen, strong powerful runner, athletic, physical, has nearly everything but gets let down sometimes by his decision making and positioning, think he lacks a bit of hurling cuteness, off the ball movement etc.

    This weekend we need to see more from Seamie, Bubbles, Morris, Brian McGrath, Cadell, Brendan and keogh, hopefully we'll see a bit more of Morgan and Quigley also.

    The only reason I excluded Barret from that particular group is that there is no way he will ever be full back under any circumstances, all of the other 5 have played there at some point. I don't think he will ever spend time at centre back either, it negates his best qualities.

    Be very interesting to see the line up for this weekend, for Tipp it is effectively a League Semi final and I suspect Sheedy would like to keep the unbeaten run and momentum going. On the other hand some of our players have played all the matches so far and may need a rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    I see Barrett as a no.2 as well, sure could play elsewhere if needed but that's where i want him, pick pocketing corner forwards and setting us off on the attack. Be great to see the swashbuckling 2016 version again, though I'd happily settle for 75-80% of that if we got it. I get the notion about being fluid in our backline but i dont know how much of that you want exactly when so much of our recent success has been built around the defensive wall between 5 and 7. Paidi at full back does have a certain amount of logic behind it, the days of the traditional edge of the square stopper are probably done for good now.

    Flynn and Cadell would be eaten alive mid field

    Well, i wouldn't be of the opinion that will be our starting championship midfield but time will tell i guess.

    I'd like to see Dan and Brendan in the middle. I think that gives us readers of the game, tactical nous, creativity, defensive cover, and score taking ability in the center of the field.

    Kennedy at center. Ronan and one of B McGrath/Byrne on the wings (because O'Mara is out although the word is he is healing well). I think a good scenario is one of those young men can do a job at wing back. And John McG can put in a regular shift on the half line like he did in the final in 2019 (a la hooking the likes of Walter Walsh through on goal) and contributing up front.

    There is certainly a world of difference between a Flynn/Cadell pairing and a Dan/B Maher one! Like many, I'm a fan of Cadell, but inclined to think one more year of growth left in him for the level required. More than willing to be proved wrong on that, naturally!

    If you don't think we are suffering unduly elsewhere, then that is a really solid pairing. I also think Barry Heff could do a good job there and ultimately he'll develop into a central role but may be another year or two down the line.

    All that said, my guess is we'll start off with Breen/Flynn partnership in the middle. You said yourself about Sheedys conservatism and i think that will come through again. Great for cadell to get these games, but i dont see him as a starter, not yet.

    Sheedy said that Tipp only managed to retain 6 out of the first 17 balls put into the forwards during the first half against Westmeath. That's chronic. Sheedy said that's not acceptable. The forwards who didn't play probably saw their stock rise - Niall O'Meara, Bubbles, Jake Morris, and Kehoe.
    Are we running head long into the serious issue that's only going to get worse?
    We might need Dan and Noel in midfield. For their delivery.

    The query I'd have - what type of ball was sent in, retention is going to be much lower in say a high dropping ball which favours a defender vs a low hopping ball in front of the forward. What I'm getting at is is it really the forwards or the type of ball going in to them from out the field. Without being at the games this is really hard to judge as you can't see what running is being done off the ball and what options are available. I did think vs Westmeath we started to work the ball through the lines much better as the game went on.

    I've discussed the transfers just as much - but it's gone through? I was against it. What do you want me to do? It's a dead duck. There's been a result and everything was out in the open. Can you say the same for the other issues?

    That's a very good point. It's probably a mix of both. But I have found some of the ball going in, throughout the league, frustrating. Some of the best ball going in has come from Jason Forde and he should be inside. It's criminal at times. Booming sky high deliveries or huge point attempts over their heads, going wide.

    I don't think the opinions of Mark Landers on a podcast would be considered new developments so yes definitely rehashing.

    I think Landers point was very pointed. Considering himself and Daly seem to be close - it brought another layer of politics to the situation. It's getting bananas. And Brian Lohan brought it to the national media - is it not a topic for posting about? But you brought it up this time. Not me.

    how is it getting bananas? there hasn't been anything new on the topic in about 10 days or 2 weeks and how was the it 'very pointed' he was just speculating like you, me or anyone else does here.

    common sense has prevailed and the lads can get on with their hurling

    Can't agree at all, this is a bad day for Tipperary hurling.

    The parish rule is the bedrock of the organisation and while it has been on shaky ground for a long time, this is definitive proof that it is indeed dead in the water.

    Ok so the 4 lads in question get to play hurling, what about the four lads from Cashel that now don't get to play because 4 lads with intercounty pedigree have been parachuted in to their club?

    Cashel will live to regret this, that I have no doubt of. Extremely short sighted of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,555 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Disputes happen all the time in clubs and players transfers to other clubs its just that these lads are high profile and moving to a club nearby which makes the most sense as they have family from there and its the most convenient.

    It's nothing to do with the parish rule. Cashel voted to take them in, if they didn't transfer to them they could easily transfer to clubs up and down the country or pack in the hurling altogether. I'm just happy to see them still playing the game within the county.

    I'd fancy Cashel to go deep into the championship this year. Its a bad situation all round and not one you'd want to see often but the board looked at the appeal and were happy enough to grant the move.

    If Cashel makes the most sense for them, why did they approach 5 other clubs first, all of whom told them where to go.

    How is it nothing to do with the parish rule??The whole case is the parish rule and they have been very upfront that they don't now or don't ever intend in the future living in Cashel.

    What do you think about the four born and bred Cashel players who will have trained and played with Cashel from U8 up to Senior who will now be cast aside because four lads fell out with their own club??

    Cashel will go well in SOR especially if the rumours around Ryan O'Dwyer are true, but it will not be a good move long term. The four lads will come in and hurl away while they are still invloved with intercounty, they are using Cashel as a means to an end and the consequence is that four existing Cashel hurlers will be cast aside to allow this to happen, I suspect there will be a lot more that those four players who will be pissed off and Cashel will ultimately lose a lot more that four players.

    That's a very good point. It's probably a mix of both. But I have found some of the ball going in, throughout the league, frustrating. Some of the best ball going in has come from Jason Forde and he should be inside. It's criminal at times. Booming sky high deliveries or huge point attempts over their heads, going wide.

    Yeah, I recall in the first half against Cork Forde sending possibly the only low pass of the half over to John McGrath and the ball bounced into his hand, turned and scored a point. That was the one aspect of the Westmeath game I thought was encouraging, did have lads moving into space for passes and opening things up. Need to vary long and shot deliveries to keep opposition guessing.

    It's funny as back in 2019 in the league we were the same, then playing against Cork one day in Pair Ui Rinn it all just clicked and we ran riot. We have the players for it.

    That's right. I was at that game in Cork. The first day was called off because of the rain.
    They were just back from a camp in Spain. And everything went to hand and over the bar. None of that camp craic at this covid moment anyway...

    Yup, was a wash out the first day, and was very late before it was called off. I definitely think Callanan helps the movement up front no end, he is very very good at making runs. Indeed, going abroad seems an alien thought these days :O

    Also for anyone wondering, Tipp match vs Waterford only being shown on GAAGO this weekend. Football is live on TG4 Saturday and Sunday, with Cork vs Galway being shown live on TG4 Player online and deferred coverage being shown of it on Tv at 17:35
