Hurling Semi Finals

Good man Ger - Joe Canning holding his hamstring and Ger thinks he has a calf injury.

[Syferus]

Galway's chance probably popped the same moment Canning's hamstring did.

Does Tipp's back line appear overly physical, have given up a lot of frees so far and one could argue could have been more

[PW Nally]

Good game this but why oh why do commentary have to persistently tell us what a great game it is. If game that good we will get it. Another "huge one" by Ger Canning.

[Milltown Row2]

thought the rule was side to side now not shoulder to shoulder, dont think that one on canning was neither!!

Yeah that was a foul

You'd still be proud of that one though

Same man would 

[Gold]

Another cracker

Great aul game, Galway need to settle themselves and get on the ball now after those two goals.

[thejuice]

Galway shouldn't be trying to win 50-50s. Keep possession

[Gold]

Wow

[Syferus]

Nightmare final in store.

Hurling Is Great™

Don't be a dick. Hurling is great. Tipp did their best to throw it away with the wides, but they'll be delighted to get through a tough game and not playing very well.

Tipp got out of jail there and will really need to up the intensity for the final. Galway faded badly and had some mad misses and poor touches and decision making in the last ten mins.

Absolutely. But that will stand to them.

Gutted. Although I didn't think we'd do it at half-time when Canning and Tuohy went off injured. Felt we were just about the better side today in general play but margins are so tight if you make a mistake or two. Frees were keeping Tipp in touch for a long time in the game. Bad error from Hanbury for the first Tipp goal when he misjudged the flight of the ball and missed it. First time all game Tipp managed to get in behind our defence and they really needed a goal at that point. Cathal Mannion could have tapped over his handy point and we'd be looking at a replay. Tight margins in games like that. Just like last year's game.

Disappointing but there was nothing in it. Best post all ireland final season in a long time. Will be there or thereabouts for the next 5 years.
The mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí policy that Cunningham started is building consistency. They have to work on the fade outs in the last 10 minutes too. But it is way better than 2006-11.
