    Best of luck to the footballers today against Leitrim. Very winnable game

    Good luck indeed. Only the hardy will be in attendance for that today. The glamour side of the championship it ain't.

    There has been 3 different winners of Leinster in the last 4 years in fairness. Its not as certain to go to KK as it was previously

    This will be there 3rd in a row. We can manipulate it anyway we want but it is very weak, I stand by what I said.

    Kilkenny are going to get a bit weaker themselves and they were outstanding but I can only see two teams in it this year that could be competitive later in the year and the jury is out on Galway.

    Save Galway, there hasn't been a team outside of Kilkenny from Leinster in an all ireland final since 2000. And when you look at the u21 championship, and the fact that Galway don't compete in Leinster and that only one u21 team outside of Kilkenny has won it (Wexford in 65) from Leinster in 52 years tells you all you need to know.

    The provincial championships are dying a slow death and the hurling championship as a whole need restructuring. The provincial championships are out-dated and dragged out unnecessarily. Having a Munster and Leinster championship is just a convenient way of splitting the early stages of the championship in 2 groups at this stage. The Leinster Championship is very lob-sided, only 3 teams with realistic hopes of winning it and one of them is from Connacht! Time for the powers that be to bite the bullet and scrap the provincial championship. Its a decision people are afraid to take because it wouldn't be be a popular one, but its for the benefit of the game for future generations.

    The best way for hurling would be a champions league style format, 12 team competition, drawn from 2 groups of 6. Top 2 through to semis, 2nd and 3rd into 2 quarters. Bottom 2 from each group play a relegation play off and the winners of nthe Christy Ring promoted. Play the entire championship off in June, July, August. No need to drag things out and free up the rest of the year for the clubs.

    Yeah......Champions League format with all teams playing sweepers, that would about do it.

    Not sarcasm just surprised at the question, did you think it was two yellows or something?

    No, but the precedent the Gaa have set in overturning suspensions doesn't mean it's 100%

    Well in that case nobody can answer that technically until the middle of the week.

    But having seen that, theres little doubt he's getting at least one game. And given Brian O Sullivan got two a couple of years ago, think it would be only right that he gets a two game suspension.

    Are suspensions time based or match based now?

    3-12 is a terrible return no way we would have conceded at least 2 of those goals. Tipp are relying on Callanan imo keep him quite and you beat Tipp.

    Right so it's Tipp who even allowing for the fact Limerick are a hapless bunch , did play well and am sure will put it up to us as you would expect . As long as we bring our A game it's there to be won , but we will have to fight like dogs and with equal skill to boot .

    Ah thought Limerick were going to snatch it, clock went against them

    We should ask to play it in Limerick. It may be a pain in the hole to get to and from but playing in thurles gives Tipperary a huge advantage as seen last year. Forget about this 'thurles is like our second home' stuff it's our opponents home ground

    There were home wins in the last 3 Munster finals, the last neutral final was 2012 in Cork between us and tipp.

    Is there any reason why Waterford and Clare couldn't have played the U21 game in the 5 week gap between the senior Semi Final and Munster final? Playing it 3 days after the Munster final seems very harsh. Players spoke of the effect it had on them last year playing it so soon after losing to Tipp.

    Limerick were poor - didn't know what to do with spare man. Tipp's greater stickwork very evident in wet conditions.

    Rumour has it that we're off to Limerick for Munster Final!

    Think Waterford at full strength will turn them over no matter where it's played


    If a vote was on...I'd vote thurles....Limerick has worse memories for Waterford than croke park nearly



    Be nice to shut tipp up....the bitterness after the league match where Waterford came out on top in close match....to them dismissing Waterford beating Clare as that being wayerfirds big win for the year

    They've won nowhere near enough to back up that arrogance

    Feck going to Thurles why should Tipp get an advantage, seriously give over with the extra travel stuff, we want to win why would or should we give Tipp home advantage again.

    Pfft...we had the measure Of them last year and we've to my eyes improved since

    It's only an advantage if their mentally weak and IMO this Waterford team isn't...,tipp tried upset them last year by forcing them to warm up in front of tipp terrace

    Waterford to their credit (management in particular) shrugged it off as nothing and made no deal of it.



    Twould be worth winning two munsters to beat them on their home pitch



    Either way....il be there.
