[most prods I know have had a very strong view on how the politics have been fecked up recently and want change]

I wouldn't know any DUP voters (well they wouldn't say it out loud) but most prods I know have had a very strong view on how the politics have been fecked up recently and want change.... whether that comes across tomorrow in the moment at the ballot box is another thing...

I've my list sorted as does my wife, hopefully people will cop on and if they don't I'll not bother again, as it proves people are stupid, fearful and happy with the status quo

Change as in the UUP or change as in the Alliance Party ?

Can only apologise, at least ye only have to listen to him for one game, we have to listen to the c*nt at every game and as hasuch been said nobody amongst the tipp support wants him there

Well said and it will be someone from the Tipp Support that gives Penfold a kicking !

[That ape was at the game again and mouthed off again to laois people leaving early almost started a row.....he's a f**king ape and massive embarrassment.]

Good win while still not playing great,  was really worried for us when quinlivan went off. 10 different scorers on the night and our defending and tackling in the 2nd half was as good as I've seen from us for a while.

Keane was superb tackling back and Fox and Kiely very good all round . Starting to come together now and Hannigan back as well .

Fox was brilliant....went from having a non existing midfield to Jack and casey doing really well and now George getting back. That ape was at the game again and mouthed off again to laois people leaving early almost started a row.....he's a f**king ape and massive embarrassment. Bad weather due this week, we are ment to be on first next week in a double header with the hurlers, I can guarantee we won't be allowed play and cut up the pitch on the hurlers and wouldn't be surprised if they move our game from semple

Seen that . Hopefully the Football Board stands up and insists on the game going ahead in Thurles , our days of being second class citizens is over  !

Tipp are still favorites with PP to win out the Division which is nuts after watching them today . Sligo were up for it fair play to them . Tipp are missing players but that`s no excuse , have a way better panel this year and should have more in them than what went on for the first 60 minutes today !

Tipp were bad but had enough in the second half . Fair play to Antrim who gave it everything . Sorry to the away support for the @rsehole in the Stand , he`s not wanted at Tipp games by the home support !

I take it thats the lad with a shaved head and glasses?

Yep . Seen him at the Munster Junior B game in December between Arravale (He`s from Tipp Town I reckon ) and Oola , neighbouring Clubs , different counties and he walking along the sideline past the Oola dugout giving guff , surprised he didn`t get his boll@ck kicked in  ! ! !

I'm not confident about Tipp at all. Sligo gave them fits last year, and it's not like home advantage is a massive advantage here. If Tipp win this, and get to 4 points after 2 games, I'd be delighted, and it would set them up for a right run. I think it will be very close though.

Tipp should win this . Antrim made things awkward and we struggled first half but changed tactics and got on top . We are going to play against a lot of Teams who will sit back and we have to get used to this . I am confident , players needed a tough game and expect us to be way sharper on Sunday .

Any Sligo people here , if so are ye travelling to Thurles confident ? Tipp are building momentum , poor start on Sunday last , good second half . Bill Maher , Badger Lonergan and Jack Kennedy back next Sunday so hopefully a strong performance from The Premier !

2-16 0-10 to Louth for a finish . Louth second favorites for relegation at the start of play !

Half Time - Louth 1-8 Laois 0-6 !

Bannside from Antrim joining this thread.

See we are 1/3 to get relegated so I'm not going to stick my neck out too far. We have had a horrendous Mc Kenna Cup but I was going through our likely starting team and still expect us to have a good rattle at the weekend and a draw wouldn't surprise me at all.

Antrim 9/2 on Sunday to win ! Tipp haven`t had a good pre season either . Tipp were very lucky to get a draw last year in the first League game in Kilmallock v Limerick , hopefully not as slow to get of the mark this year . Thought we were in for a disaster of a year after watching that game     .

Two from tipp Armagh and Sligo to go up. As long as Armagh are one of them I don't mind who the other is. I'm for Sligo on Sunday. Hopefully better than our last trip there

Two from Tipp , Armagh and Laois for me , Laois going well in pre season from what I hear . Laois have Armagh and Tipp in the Second and third rounds .

[Kearns has been saying how league isnt a priority]

Was at both Tipp McGrath Cup games and wasn`t impressed . Lacked fitness and sharpness . Very surprised to see them as favorites . That said they were missing many of last years players and tried out some new lads , however was shocked at how unfit they were compared to Cork and Kerry !

I couldnt believe that following them two games armagh who were joint favourites drifted while we stayed the same. We have been lucky with the fixtures, two home games against two precieved weaker teams. If we can get two wins we'll be right in there. Kearns has been saying how league isnt a priority and as you say we were miles off in the mcgrath cup games. People are saying antrim arent in a good place, i think they are a brilliant value bet next weekend at 9/2, we have started the last few league campaigns poorly and are missing a few due to injuries, suspension and just not wanting to overwork a couple who have been dealing with injuries the last few years and are being given a break, Couple of the players only joined back up with the panel mid january too as they were on holiday so they havent had long to get up to pace. Hopefully we do have enough class to pull through till we reach the level we need to be at. I expect one of longford or offaly to be challenging for promotion too along with oursleves (hopefully), laois and armagh

That's worrying, and a very 'Kerry' thing to say. For the long term sustainability of Tipp football, you need to be operating in the higher echelons, and holding your own. No point stagnating in Division 3, or worse being relegated back to Division 4. I hope Kearns doesn't really think that.

Correct and right , we need Division 2 and higher if we are serious about becoming a Football force .

The players who looked good in those games were Foxy and Kiely , 2 regulars and Liam McGrath v Cork , disappointed with the lack of hunger from the new lads bar Liam Boland . Badger wasn`t too bad but missing the sharpness . Armagh and Laois meet in the second round so we could be in a strong position come the Laois game !
