Tipperary are 28/1 for to win the AI!

Has there ever been a semi-finalist priced so high. Leitrim in 1994?

Down in 91 would have been a fairly decent price

Liam Kearns in the IT

"Galway were playing a system and we felt if we broke it down they would have to come out to us. They did. Once they did we figured we would get more chances."

It doesn't look like the Galway management did any interviews

It's a great boost for Tipp football people like Effin Eddie and Peter Lambert who were there in the days when nothing happened. 

[2016 has been the year of team sport shocks.]

This Tipperary senior run reminds me of their run in 2011 at minor level. Back then they were congratulated by all for doing so well however at the same time they written off the further they went. Played Dublin in the All Ireland final and weren't given a hope, could history repeat itself now at senior level?

Stranger things have happened and 2016 has been the year of team sport shocks.

I can only think of Portugal (a sorta shock) and Leicester as the shocks of the year! what were the others?

Connacht in the Pro 12

Mayo guys extremely confident. They don't fear Tyrone

the cheek of them

She has shag all credibility. Zero. Full stop.
Listening to Kaine talking now about how she is worried about poor and underprivileged is a fin joke.
Google Clinton foundation for some interesting info.
Liberal media in overdrive.
It is now Russia's fault.
Trump not my first choice, but four more years of this and we are fuc*ed.

Shouldn't we be fucked by now after Obama's reelection?

Given the hand he was dealt he's done a decent enough job, but the long term prognosis of the outstanding federal debt is terrifying

They can reduce its value by having inflation and zero interest rates like they did in the 50s

How will they inflate it Seafoid?

By taxing the rich, Muppet
Because there is a hole in the bucket !

The 1% own 42% of everything. So tax them at 20% extra . It is not like they are doing anything with the money

It is all part of a very long economic cycle

So tax and government spend or what? Tax on rich without spend is by itself deflationary as reduces spend. Do you mean tax rich and splurge on infrastructure?

Tax on unused wealth and redistribute via funded tax credits. Or else invest in a serious rebuild to get the money back in the economy where it is recycled via wages. Or just get the Government to build industries to deliver what the private sector will not. Loads of options. all of the neoliberal arguments against the public sector are bollocks when the private sector refuses to invest.
There has been 9tn in QE and the economy is stagnant. 1.2% growth in Q2. The Fed cannot generate growth with the current system.

Throne were much more media friendly back in the 90s

Look who was at the match at 14:20. a living legend

How many handpasses would there have been in 84? 50?

Totally and utterly irrelevant-- why the obsession with a period when we were singularly unsuccessful?

singularly?
The success only encompasses a period of 6 championships

Let me reframe: why worry about us, we're very much alive and kicking (with an odd handpass) in 2016?

Maybe Mayo are poor but I am genuinely interested to see if Tyrone can go forward with the Ulster style. I think you need a very good team to do that. Donegal did it once.

What's the Connacht style these days?

very successful in the rugby. Mayo will be showcasing next week. You wouldn't know what they might come up.with. But it is unlikely to involve ulster levels of handpassing.

Tipp could smell blood early in that game and went for the kill, in truth they should have won that contest in the first half

In fairness in the first half, Cummins blasted over the bar when one on one with the keeper and O'Donnell dropped the ball just as he was about to shoot into an open goal so I thought the margin at the break was about right. The first 15/20 minutes of the 2nd half though is when the game really went away from us. Tipp got 2 goals and it could have been double that. Thought we would come out improved after a half-time bollocking but if anything our performance level dropped even further.  Lost our shape completely. Just a complete systems failure.

A complete backbone failure too I'm afraid. When the heat came on some lads just melted.

Once a horse refuses a fence once that capacity is always there I'm afraid. It wasn't a case of some trying their damnedness and thing just didn't come off which can happen to any team or player. Some Galway players just gave up. You won't win anything at AI level with a team like that.

Every team can have a bad day at the office

It is all about what happens afterwards

That's right. Getting hammered by the All Ireland champions elect is the same as getting hammered by Tipp!

You feel better after getting a 12 point trimming from the eventual winners?
Didn't the Dubs go 3 years in a row losing to the eventual winners in 92 to 94? That must have felt great

You'll have noted the losing margins in all 3 games from 92-94.

And then you have today's collapse that was like Dublin's capitulation in 2009.

You'll note what Gilroy did in 2010- he gutted the team and found men.

Maybe Galway can do the same,Indy !

A loss can be a good thing if you learn from it.
That early 90s team was a diol trua

I was pretty shocked by it I had hopes for that Galway team but they are too prone to just giving up. You go out on your shield even if you're losing.

The issue was they could conceivably have lost by 20 points to a team that largely plied it's trade in Div 3 this year.

A great day for Tipperary though and a lovely style to watch too.

Super day for Tipp and you couldn't begrudge it to them. I don't know what happened. I thought they would respond at some stage but it didn't happen. They lost the mental battle early in the second half.

If we're being honest with ourselves, there was absolutely no way of a Clare win today, just not possible. Is that what we want as a Quarter-Final, as a 'spectacle'?

The Provincial system proves yet again that it has no place in 2016, listen to f**k up GAA suits!

Tá an ceart agat. There is too much psychological history left in the provincial championships. Clare and Roscommon would benefit from a more open system.
