What a match that was. Two very good sides. Feel sorry for Galway.

2 decent semi finals ahead of us, but have an awful feeling KK will make **** of Cork, and do their usual in the final against whomever it will be.

Savagely close game from start to finish today. Impressed with Tipp's ability to dig it out again - some score from Lar who otherwise was way below form. Young maher in midfield has been some find and McGrath has to start there beside him next day, he's the engine of that team.

Tipp/Waterford will be equally epic. We need to expolit this weaknedd Tipp seemt o have down the middle. Thats the second game this year they've conceded thre goals from direct play straight through the middle. Their full forward terrifies me far more than Cork's did though. Whichever half-back line come out on top will win it.

Feel sorry for Galway, they hurled well especially Horse Regan's son at centre back. They're definitely getting better every year and they remind me of Waterford of 2002/2 before they got over the mental block of beating the bigger teams on a regular basis. They need to give Canning six months off, he seems injured to me and was way off the pace from play.

First off great match and well done to Tipperary. We should have beaten ye to be fair. All of the Tipp goals were due to huge lapses in the Galway team. Ye proved that running straight at the full-back line will equal goals. Ye were fairly clinical when it came to point-scoring. If any team has a chance of beating Kilkenny it is Tipp. Best of luck. Ye have the most annoying fans though in fairness. The assholes behind us kept asking us :"Do ya think ya have a chance bai?".

The end of Ollie Canning sadly. I was talking to Davy Canning and he reckons this was his last season. An amazing player. Shame he never won an All-Ireland.

I'm disappointed that our only good performance this year still ended in defeat. Tony Og was great. Eanna Ryan won over all critics. Joe was a bull as ever.

Ger Farragher was god-like until the last free.

Best of luck Ger but let this Galwegian drink away his pain

BTW I was locked for the entire Cork match

Eanna Ryan was class alright I thought. Can't agree about Joe though - his frees and sidelines were good, but from play he was way below par. He got cleaned out in the air which you rarely see happen.

Diabhal Beag

When he was marked he made space for Damo Hayes to run riot along with Ryan.

Dont tell me the Cannings are retiring?:(:(:pac:

Doesn't mean he played well though. He's had a very poor season by the standards he has set himself.

he's been found out. He is marked well. His standards are far too high to live up to expectations consistently.

There really needs to be a GAA v Anti-GAA feud in WWE with a character called Thomas Davis as the leader of the GAA stable.

GAA? I havent been reading this thread much. I just thought someones dog got put down or something and people had mixed feelings about it.

Ho ho the Tipp bais pulled it out of the bad once again! The better team won today it has to be said, Lar was unreal and surely to god Brendan Maher has an All Star waiting for him, he has been class at centre field all year. I feel sorry for Galway, it was a devistatingly close game and it would be crushing to lose. Bring on the deise in 3 weeks time! Up the premier!

So so disappointed. Really, It's worse than last years loss to Waterford. Worse than the game that got away from us in 2008 against Cork as well. When I look at our last three exits from the Championship there is one word that comes into my head, a word that McIntyre said he did not want to hear mentioned: bottle. We cant close out games and once again it cost us yesterday. I don't think we are mentally tough enough.

Nothing can be said about the effort the lads made yesterday, they gave it their all. I really hope they learn from this and come back even stronger next year.

Congrats to Gerard C. and Tipp.

Yeah he didn't do well from play. He was well marked but thats because other teams are now wise to his act. But that does not stop the really great players from shining through. I hear people saying the whole time that he does not receive the right kind of ball. Well this is hurling, you cant expect to get the right ball straight into your hand, you have to fight for it and win it.

There has been a lot of talk about Joe playing with injuries, if this is true he needs to take the time off to recover 100%, doubt that will happen what with Portumna and then commitments to LIT.

I can on ly imagine. I'd feel bad even messin with ye about winning, it was such a good honest close game of hurling. Both teams should come out with their heads up after it. There was class shown in Croke Park yesterday. Comiserations, and we might see ye again next year for the rematch

I actually thought the Galway manager was about to cry in his post match interview. he was very emotional and I thought I heard a wobble in his voice. Hard to blame him. To lose a game like that must be very hard to pick yourself up after. The dressing room must have been like a wake.

Felt so bad for the poor man. He was in bits. I hope ye stick with him, ye are definitely going in the right direction and there has been a definite improvement year on year.

Don't know. One good match in a poor season really isn't good enough IMO. I think a lot of people felt sorry for us due to his reaction but his consistent selection of Damien Joyce is really idiotic as he has never played well under McIntyre.
