That was something else. Wow.

Delighted for Anthony Cunningham. Maybe this is the year.

Cracking game in the end but Christ Galway did their best to lose it with some of their wild and erratic shooting, which was a huge letdown considering how hard they worked, especially Whelan and Mannion. Joe's shooting boots left at home two days in a row.

Not that I wanted Tipp to win or anything, but thought for a minute that Noel McGrath's point was going to win it which would have been an absolutely fantastic story.

Think it's time to do something about the cynicism in hurling. Pull down on Callanan for a certain goal would've put them in the driving seat for the last ten. The pull down even managed to hurt Callanan and left him largely redundant for the remainder of the game, did he even win a catch after that?

The player was booked and penalty given... Only goalkeeper on line ffs... Would you prefer him shot??

No, I'd like everyone to"forget about him as far as he's a man".

Brilliant game. Well done Galway, they deserved it. On top in most areas. Can't believe Cunningham left the #4 on Callanan for so long and he almost paid for it. Best of luck to them in the final. Disappointing for Tipp but they'll be back, and the story of the day might be Noel McGrath's return to IC hurling.

Him Scoring 3-9 was probably Tipps biggest problem in this match... No one else shouldering the scores... Poor spread of scored...

Anyways serious game , Kilkenny to win this year again

Those last 10 minutes have knocked a few months of my life. Holy jaysus. Sure you wouldn't have it any other way.

Some balls in that Galway team, came back every time Tipp got a goal & uncharacteristcally used the ball well in the last couple of attacks.

They will be a huge challenge to Kilkenny on that form today

Having characteristically failed to in the couple before that!  ;)

Those sort of moments are magic! It's hard to get ones head together after them!

Fair play to Galway, they never give up and always able to go back up the pitch and respond with a score. Love to see them won an All Ireland. I'll settle for a good close game. That spear tackle would make Brian O'Driscoll wince....

orangeman

Wow. Where do you start to describe that spectacle today ?

Well done Galway. Commiserations to Tipp.
Every time Tipp scored a goal Galway just kept coming back and refused to go away.

Bring on the final.

Galways fitness & conditioning very impressive, they seemed to win most of the 50/50 balls & were hitting ferociously hard in the tackle
