baldbear

Kilkenny havn't got going and still there only a couple of points down with the breeze in there favour in 2nd half. Tipp are up against it i think.

Cat Melodeon

Very unfair yellow card considering some of the stunts the KK players got away with earlier in the match.

UrbanSea

1/3.

Birdnuts

Tipperary getting sloppy - KK goal was coming:(

PS: Referee helping out KK big time now:mad:

Digitalism

Wow tipp foul a lot!

Well Tipperary have played out of their skins, given everything they've got and they only have a one point lead at halftime, and play into the wind in the second half.

Sadly, can't see anything but Kilkenny thumping them after the break.

Hammer Archer

Tipp by far the better team but only 1 point up at HT. Strong breeze with Kilkenny in the 2nd half. Kilkenny have to be strong favourites now.

ShamoBuc

Tip would have taken a point lead at ht before the match but with the wind and the way they played I don't think so. TIp will have to score at least one if not two more goals to win.

siobhan.murphy

now we will see real hurlin in the second half

Digitalism

Sorry tipp but it's 5 in a row I'm afraid. I predict a barrage of points for kk in the second half.

D-Generate

Sounds like half time couldn't have come soon enough for Tipp. Seemed to be slipping away from them

Cat Melodeon

I feel sick. Can't believe there's only a point in it and Tipp playing so well.

If I'm to make a few bob on this game I'd like Kelly first followed by McGrath!

Hard to believe after all that that Tipp only have the barest of leads.

Minstrel27

Decent enough final so far. I fear Kilkenny may run over them in the second half.

argosy2006

physiologically tipp are beaten now, tipp need to excogitate and show their equanimity,kilkenny are magnanimous though

Yep - Odds are overwhelming now for a KK win as I suspected. Tipps only hope now is to go for goals. Ah well it was good while it lasted:(

Kilkenny have not lost a championship game since losing to Galway in 2005.Thats 21 games unbeaten.In that 21 game unbeaten run they have never been trailing at h/t.Fact.;)

We're lucky to be only a point behind Tipp. It was nightmare stuff there for a whille..... Shefflin missing frees and getting injured, Power missed his first few as well.
Eddie brennan and TJ Reid not playing well. I dunno what Brennan was trying to do for his goal chance. KK finished the half well though. C'mon the Cats.

Thats nice - now run along and make some tea for the lads like a good girl;)

Tipp are far from gone. They played 70-80% of the Hurling but find themselves only ahead by 1 point. Have Tipp the reserves to maintain their pace is a big question for me. The wind in Croke Park swirls and it will only slightly favour K.K.

Ref is doing a fairly good job only 2 decisionS could be questioned so far. My money still on K.K. and as a neutral I hope they get their 5th in a row.

kk just found themselves, lights out for tipp now, and was good while it lasted, better head for goals.

baldbear

Tipp should drop more ball in around the square like they did for Lar's goal.

Diabhal Beag

No more short puck-outs to Stapleton. He always ends up giving away either a point or a free away.

Tipp have been good so far. Need to send more ball to Lar. If they keep tipping over frees they'll be in it till the end.

BTW just wait for the Peter Canavan.. ahem ... Henry Shefflin return.

Cummins did it twice in the last ten and it didn't work out

Unless he comes on in a wheelchair it aint going to happen

D-Generate

We never know though, Tipp could have settled their nerves during half time and might come back out with a hunger. If they don't give KK hell in the first 5 minutes then it will probably go against them.

No - just a tea-bag. Sorry, I thought it was a simple enough request:D

JONJO THE MISER

Come on TIPP, COME ON, everyone in the country is rooting for ye.

siobhan.murphy

Im sure u know all about simple alright:cool:

dreamer_ire

A Cummins save and ball off the post...... that's an omen I tell you!

xsiborg

live STEAMING eh?? :eek:

Fluttering B is there already!

Birdnuts

Sloppy start to the 2nd. Rain might help to even things out as regard the wind. Tipp need to be sharper and quicker on the ball:mad:

ShamoBuc

side line ball levels it up

siobhan.murphy

great point from t.j
meow :D

ShamoBuc

Tip up by a point again, a free from the 21 in front of the goal
