I am really trying hard to see how Galway can win this and am at a loss.

They were great in the semi but Tipp midfield and half forward line could not win enough dirty ball.

Kk will not lack in this Department .  They have enough firepower .

That same Tipp midfield and half forward line were the winning and winning well of their run in Munster. They just run into a better set up that day against Galway who had the winning of each individual battle that end of the field barring Callanan.
If that same Tipp team were lining out this Sunday, everyone would be saying they'd have a great chance and possibly favourites, so why wouldn't Galway who've improved game after game also not really be seen as a serious proposition to Kilkenny?

I think if Galway can expose the Kilkenny fullback line enough they'll do it!!

Johnney, they weren't. This is the achilles heal of the Tipp team (not the midfield so much in fairness). When the fat is in the fire, too often the Tipp half forward line go missing, and even lads like Bonner weren't winning ball this year. Against Limerick it happened, and only for a poor puckout straight to Jason Forde, Limerick were right back in that game. It happened against Waterford, and it happened all day against Galway.

Go in on the morning of the game  . Always and I repeat always plenty of tickets floating about around CP for the hurling final. More often than not lads desperate to offload them.

Well if they aren't ready for a fight on Sunday they might as well not turn up, tactics and game plans will go out the window ten minutes into the game when they just go hell for leather!!! Noticed last few games Kilkenny have kept their noses in front without putting the foot down and killing the game off, they even played defensively or managed the score for score type attitude, be telling if Galway do get a lead on them will the Cats be able to push through the gears and get back on terms..

really looking forward to this, hope the players keep their nerve (in both teams) and no one gets a silly sending off

Fcuk no.Love the city alright as I grew up only about 10miles from Kilkenny City itself and actually wanted to buy a house there but the wife wanted to buy one in Dublin. I would never shout for the fcukers though.
Tis mainly banter as most of my mates are all Kilkenny and I have two brother in laws from there but that would make me hope they lose all the more. I'm a bitter hoor really  ;D

They're for my dad. He's not going to go all the way in to town without a ticket in his hand.

Anyone with a spare ticket or two let me know please

Tipp won the worst Munster championship in years and were not really tested by a team who really went for it.  There is always the feeling that their half forward line does not win enough "dirty ball". Callinan kept them in a game where they were clearly in awful trouble at midfield and in both half lines.

Hope you got sorted. Appreciate it's not ideal if it's your Dad but you really will get sorted with tickets by asking about just before it. Generally get them face value as well.

Never seen anyone pay over the actually price of a ticket.... Stand outside Quinns and ticket will be available by genuine supporters... Won't get that anywhere else

Have exams this week so first missed final in ten years. KK by 3 or 4. Galway need Joe yo have a scorcher to win this I think. KK more vulnerable than ever with all the retirements, especially Holden and Prendergast but think they'll see it through.

There'll always be tickets available in Meaghers. Ask the old barman and he'll put it out over their PA system.
