The Tipperary GAA Discussion Thread

We are not near as good as limerick but being honest i dont think any county is within 5 points of them. They may be caught on an off day but that's it.

I agree with this… I fancy Tipp to bounce back and beat Waterford. Limerick could do that to anyone.

I'm with you , I've a feeling that Waterford will suffer the tipp backlash and hopefully we'll get to see Davy give his usual side line theatrical sideshow

Expect a response from Tipp and they could of course win it. But I would say the win against Cork was more having 3 all stars, Michael Kiely and Iarla Daly available then "the element of surprise".

As Nicky English said about Waterford beforehand "they shouldn't be underestimated". Nor should Tipp be this weekend of course

Would be some turn around in 6 days if Cahill can engineer a performance out of Tipp after last Sunday especially after his interview when he threw the players under the bus.Id be amazed if its not the opposite and Waterford win by 5 or 6 pts but time will tell.

I take it you're basing that on " a feeling in me waters"!

…same team - new face on the bench

Has Noel McGrath ever played full forward for Tipp?

Including under 21, he has played everywhere except full back line and full forward. Possible short spells there during O'Shea era when Tipp forwards moved position almost every play.

Pretty sure Breen has played everywhere. https://www.sportsjoe.ie/gaa/hard-not-feel-michael-breen-bagging-2-9-still-losing-kilkenny-152189

We can assume Cahill is hoping for a reaction from the team that were so disappointing last week.

Maybe Cathal and Noel will start but that’s about it I’d say.

I don’t think we will be as bad from midfield up this time and let’s face it Jake and Mark aren’t facing Finn and Morrissey with Kyle Hayes, Hannon, Byrnes, midfield and the half forward line closing them down.

On the positive side it’s Waterford we are playing the only team with a worse record (for now) in Munster round robin than us.

On the negative side it’s Waterford who have beaten us in pretty much every meaningful match since we last won the All Ireland.

I’m hoping beyond hope for a reaction this Saturday evening as there has to be more in our fellas than what we have seen so far this year.

As for Cahill he know this Waterford team inside out so hopefully himself and Bevans have a coherent game plan ready to go that allows us play to our strengths and targets Waterfords weak points.

Here’s hoping. Tipp Abú

Interesting perspective here, might be relevant to some of the Tipp team

Good win for the Under 20s tonight vs Cork 3-20 vs 0-18. Cork did hit a lot of bad wides. Good chance they could be meeting each other in the final. Senan Butler with 3-01 from corner forward got MOTM - and gave quite a memorable interview afterwards.

For tomorrow, if there is no kick out of that team early on Cahill has to make changes, but I can't see them lining up as selected. Might be keeping a move athletic half back line knowing Waterford have runners in that team. Tynan is surely better at midfield than wing forward, and Forde is never a wing forward always does his best hurling on the inside forward line. Surprised Shelly is not selected in goal too, seems to have a better puck out than Hogan.

if ye beat cork and we beat waterford , it makes the last game in thurles a straight shoot out for a munster final place , i would be critical of cahills delays in making changes today though he waited too long in my opinion , the full forward line was really struggling and needed some change , surprised sean ryan wasn't introduced

Also great support today.

Link me the incident where Cathal Barrett was shouldered to the head there like a good lad.
