Tipp v louth - the least talked about thread here!!

[tippabu]

Tipp very big favourites 1/6. Brilliant having it as a triple header, pretty confident if we perform to a good standard we will have too much for louth, looks like we have a good number of players who are touch and go to make it though and midfield is where we are struggling with injuries particularly

[tippabu]

Just checked again and tipp 1/8 with paddy power. Evens +6 points for louth with looks really tempting

Where is the game?

Thurles, 2.45 on Sat.

[twohands!!!]

Wonder do the bookies need to reassess Tipp's chances a bit given Kerry's poor performance yesterday? Fairly miserable looking odds they are quoting.

Tipp conceded 2-14 against Kerry versus's Cork 2-15

[AZOffaly]

There's a small danger that Tipp are being overrated a bit. They are definitely progressing, but at the end of the day, they are still a division 3 team, albeit one that has serious ambition and is working towards a lot better than that.

I'm not sure 3rd place in Division 3 is that much better than another division 3 team.

Would be really surprised if Tipp don't win.

[Shrewdness]

Would expect to see Tipp win this very comfortably, provided of course, that no complacency sets in.

Would expect Tipp to win but 6 points seems like a big spread although I guess home advantage will be worth a couple of points. Would love to head down for the weekend and take in both Saturday & Sunday games

Crazy odds for this, tipp now 1/10 and 11/10 -8. We are struggling big time around midfield for fitness. George hannigan is out, Stephen o brien is a massive doubt and Colin o riordan is also a slight doubt

Louth (SFC v Tipperary): Craig Lynch; Padraig Rath, Dessie Finnegan, Anthony Williams; Declan Byrne, Darren O'Hanlon, Adrian Reid; Tommy Durnin, James Califf; Bevan Duffy, Paraic Smith, Conal McKeever; Ryan Burns, Colm Judge, Ronan Holdcroft.

Is that Bevan son of Gavin. Smashing rugby player if it is, any good at football?

[Premier Emperor]

I hope Louth don't damage the surface of Tom Semple's Field for all the hurling matches afterwards.

Handicap def looks tempting if those 3 are missing. One thing about Tipp is that with the young age profile, there isnt exactly much in the way of panel depth - even a few injuries to the key players can seriously hit the overall strength of the challenge they can bring.

The other thing is I'm not a bit sure Tipp have sorted out the issue relating to the high number of goals/goal chances they concede. They are a side with a very bad habit of conceding multiple goals - in the 9 games played this year so far they have only kept a clean goal sheet in 2 games - 1 of which was against a dire Waterford side, 2 games where they conceded 1 goal, 4 games where they conceded 2 goals  and 1 game where they conceded 3 goals. 13 goals in 9 games against mostly Division 3 opposition. They had 2 games in last years championship where they conceded 4 goals.
