I said

Canning fully fit and Glynn back with the squad for semifinal.
Great to have Glynn back serious ball winner can't see him starting himself and Flynn on the bench,Mannion hopefully all is well so he gets the nod.

Tipp full back line would have a conniption if we drop Glynn in on top of them.

Will be a handy man to drop into full forward with 15/20 mins left.

The winners of the Galway tipp game will have to wait a full month for the final! Was that always the case?

In 1981, the semi final was 2 August.
The final was 6 September.

Semi final was a draw so replay was 16 August.

Lads and lassies. Ashamed to say I haven't been to Croker for years (I'm from Limerick!), and looking to bring an auld foreign lass to the Cork/Waterford game.

Enjoy the game. It might be a long,long time before you see your own county play there..:o

No doubt certain people enjoyed it. But that type of hurling will not attract big numbers. Clare v Waterford was a similar example last year. They met 3 times in a few weeks and the crowds got smaller for each game despite the closeness and excitement of the games. Hurling followers are used to better than dull excitement.

In a way Galway are better off if they don't see him because if they do I reckon it will be because things are not going well for them.

All options are better than none

How much hurling has Glynn done this year? Has he been playing any club?

I said

has played with his club a few times but also had knee injury so would need a lot of hurling to get up to championship pace i reckon, so impact sub is what is all you would get out of him.

Diabhal Beag

He had no real prep done and was strapped for the League Final but still caught a super ball he laid off and should have scored his own point afterwards. I wouldn't worry too much about his match sharpness if he's only coming in with 15 to go.

He's a great addition against what will absolutely be a fired up Tipp backline after all the criticism they got since Clare and the clammering for Barrett.

As a Tipperary man I am worried about tipp full back line leaking to many goals in recent weeks and coming up against a galway team that has shown no sign of any cracks in their squad for the first time in as long as I can remember could be a great game but if galway hit the ground running I'd fear for tipp even getting close.

Yeah for me last year there was nothing between the teams. Think from then tipp have definitely fallen 10 or 15% and looks like Galway have improved 5 or 10%. All indications point to a Galway victory and it could be fairly comprehensive if Galway play at their best.

Anyone know if all tickets have been on sale for the Tipp/Galway game yet? All I can get is 336 in Hogan or the Davin. Everything else seems to be sold out

Yeah you get some fright when you walk through the doors to your seat and see the pitch. Then you have too up the steps to the last row and next stop is heaven lol

The view is supurb but its high I would recommend too do all your drinking and toliet business before the game as its a lot of steps to go up and down

The Aviva and the New PUC are quite steep also
