Crazy decision to kick it long from the kick out after kicking it short all game. All they had to do is win possession. Bizarre

Thought the exact same myself. Maybe goal keeper was afraid of a turnover close to the goal.
Having said that midfield should have done more to win it.

How do you mean a few new heads?

He tried Hamill Quinn and Mca orma k from the start and introduced Fitzell and Liam Ryan. We learned that we are a lot better than when we got comprehensively beaten 12 months ago by the dubs.

I mean a few new heads. Keep trying lads - there are more lads there. John [font=Roboto, sans-serif]Meagher, Fitzelle from the beginning (Dublin well beat by the time they came on), Barry Heffernan, Steven O'Brien - keep blooding them - keep introducing more - especially against Kilkenny. [/font]

You cant try to many lads introducing 3 or 4 per game is maximum really which is what happened tonight. I thought we learned plenty for a night in Feb. Were you at the game?

I'm looking forward to next week to be honest. I think we can get a win. Granted Dublin were no test but that's not our fault. We approached the game with the correct attitude tonight. We worked hard and put ourselves about.

I cant imagine we'll experiment too much next week. Kenny will get a chance possibly against Joey Holden who to be honest id be asking serious questions of. He's no JJ Delaney or Noel Hickey

If Fennelly is still out then the Young Cody deputises for Buckley who in turn goes midfield. So we need to test him also. Maybe put Bonnar on him or Noelie? Even try Bubbles? If Fennelly returns should we go with Breens strength against him?

Listen, if anything has been proved its the league is the league is the league - and the early rounds are crazy stuff.
I seen it on TV,..

We won't have learned much. . - simply because the opposition was very very weak.

I'm not saying we have to pick more than 4 new lads - if anything tonight was the night to try more than four against a weaker opposition - I'm just saying pick four different heads - I'd like to see John Meagher, O'Brien, Heffernan and Liam McGrath get 70 against KK, And, in fairness, I'd like to see Hamill get 70 at full back again against KK

The KK test is fair better barometer than the first league outing against Dublin...

True 0 I'm looking forward to it - big time. KK is KK - that's the test.

I'd ike to see Breen go on Fennelly- maybe, even Meagher. Personally, I'd love to see Bonner put on Fennelly - i think he has the pace,strength, and engine - and the onus to score is taken away from him. I think he can do a real job on Fennelly.

Steven O'brien is injured and Seamus Kennedy was involved today as we already know. Meagher is currently involved in Fitzgibbon and given his injury history its better not to run the man into the ground. Barry Heffernan is with UL in Fitzgibbon also. FWIW i agree with you although they are going into a bear pit next week. A real test of our resolve.

Dublin were piss poor tonight but im guessing that Cunningham hasnt been received the same way as Daly.

Dublin took hidings under Daly but you got he sense they believed in him fully. They absolutely loved him up there. he's only good to a point if you ask me. im sure he builds great rapport with lads and got as much as he could out of them but he is all about fitness and nothing about stick work. Not sure what Cunningham is about.

I think they'll drop this year. Paul Ryan aside i cannot sense there is much quality to pick from. Is Keaney still involved? Given the riches at their disposal at sponsorship level they have had no one to challenge the likes of Dotsy o'Callaghan or Keaney for places on the team and their young prodigy just walked off the panel.

No real barometer for Tipp tonight.......Next week should be interesting though.

I don't think its a flash in the pan either, Commercials have the talent and youth to become a regular fixture in this competition.

PlayByTheRules

Any Tipp lads know if Seamus Callanan will be back for the Kilkenny game? I'd give ye a good chance against them as their fitness levels looked very off against Waterford and that doesn't get fixed in 1 week. I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Fennelly was drafted in by them though, they looked soft in midfield the last day.

It might be no harm to let Callanan rest a bit and give Kenny his chance on Sunday anyway.

Kenny needs to test himself further if we are to find out if he has a future at intercounty and there is no stiffer test then Paul Murphy and Joey Holden who will no doubt offer him a kind welcome to the big time

The problem with the league is that player development could now be sacrificed for getting points on the board and securing safety.

evolving tipperary

The only way Kenny and et al will acclimatise to the pace of the KK and Waterford world (that swarming defence and excellent defensive play) is by playing against it regularly and getting that experience....

OAOB

Be cautious about putting too much weight on league performances, I remember redser scoring 0-7 off Noel Hickey in the league but that meant feck all later in the year when they met in the important games.
Regardless of whether Kenny does good or bad this weekend his intercounty potential will not be properly examined until the league semi finals at the earliest

That's very true. At least Redser had some form of Tipp career. I quite liked him as a player tbh. Great fielder and was a great character by all accounts. I felt his role in the league final of that year was underestimated. Hickey followed him all over the field and it created quite a bit of space for Lar to run into. 2003 he didnt even start against Kilkenny.

Danny o'Hanlon from the Swan also roasted Noel Hickey in 2007 and was another enigma whose career was over before it started.

evolving tipperary

That's very true but if he can't do it in the league...he won't do it in champioship. It's a long road for Kenny - he won't shoot the lights out in the championship yet - I think. But, performing in the league this year will be a movement forward for him - and over the next few years he can get better and better like the rest of the players such as Forde and Niall O'Meara. Not many players take to championship in their first or secod year - only the special ones. Or lads who burn brightly at first then fade away... - But, yeah, if kenny wins a couples of balls ad scores a couple of points from play and birngs a few players into the game - that's a success - improvement, in terms of development. Then he can seek to add championship experience and hope to build on that over the years... - he's young - but he hurled in Kildare and has been adopting to Tipp club championship and intercounty in a short space of time. Tipp just need to show patience with him - he has got the tools to be a success in my estimation

Cheers I read that today, what a clown that man is. A total and utter bell end!

If only someone could dig up Eddies appearance on hot milk and pepper from 1995 we would witness the level of idiot we are dealing with here.

Tipp thumped Kilkenny in last years league and one thing I'll say is that any team Michael Ryan will be in charge of will be a mirror version of himself with bottle in abundance
