Not too knowledgeable on the strength of depth we have talent-wise in the county but i know one of the feelings after last years incredible run was that we would need to develop more bench options to move on. Seems like starting the same 15 for three games in a row isn't a good way of doing this.

We are alot stronger this year , Tipp are missing a good scatter of players due to injury as is the case with Bill Maher .

An important win for the footballers tonight. Very sloppy in places but some positives too. Good to see George Hannigan coming back from injury. The absence of Acheson from midfield is very noticeable and it'll take one of the younger guys to step up now and take that role over for themselves.

didnt see all of it was channel hopping , but from what i saw tipp played better football then any of the 2 division 2 teams on tv tonight , think there is very little between both divisions and would almost go so far to say almost nothing from what i have seen so far in 2

Step forward Jack Kennedy. He was terrific tonight. Hope Quinlivan isnt too badly injured

Yeah wasn't sure what Quinlivans injury was - perhaps a hint of a concussion? Didn't seem to be holding the shoulder after the hit much at all?

That's true. So long as it isnt too bad. Felt we gifted Laois a goal at a crucial stage when we should have been putting the game well and truly to bed but we regained our composure. Really do hope that Sligo game doesnt cost us.

Heard at HT it`s concussion . Keane done great tracking back and tackling . Fox and Kiely their usual reliable selves . Kennedy done really well and first decent display by our Midfield this year , hopefully starting to come together now for a push on for promotion !

Was just saying to my friend that Keane is the footballers equivalent of Dan McCormack the way he tracks runners. Both Kiely and Brian Fox were outstanding. Why did Kevin Fahey not start? Any word on Ian Fahey or Bill Maher? Apologies for all the questions

Agree with you on midfield though. Both Casey and Kennedy were like two experienced pros and i thought Emmet Moloney done very well too.

Big fan of josh Keane myself great athlete and a brilliant footballer. Sweeney is such an assured scorer, always reliable.

Normally hang around after games and meet the people but wouldn`t be a fan of Saturday night Football so I got out of there as soon as it was over . Moloney made some great bursts up the wing in in the first half and kept his head to take his point . Feel he is a bit light and needs to bulk up a bit but a great addition to the Panel this year !

Wins for Antrim, Armagh and Louth so all results have gone our way today. I make that 2nd on 4 points? Louth top with 6. Armagh and Sligo on 3 each, Offaly, Longford, Laois and Antrim on 2

Longford next weekend as part of a double header in Semple. 1 wk break then Offaly in Tullamore and Louth in Semple before a trip to Armagh the final day on April 2nd.

3/4 at least winnable? Louth doing exceptionally well but we are more than capable of beating them.

We outnumbered the Laois crowd which is a nice answer to 'Wooly' who had a cut at the Tipp supporters recently.

Perhaps he should have a look on his own doorstep. Very few of the Laois crowd following the Laois hurlers either.

Tynan from Roscrea would have been on it but is concentrating on Rugby, think there was a Newport chap played corner forward minor two years ago the name escapes me, other than that there is really no one good enough.

The likes of Connors who's club play lip service to football and don't enter an adult team most more often that not are doing extremely well to be playing at this level. Kevin O'Halloran the same.

Great to see it and long may it continue. Hats off to Loughmore who made sure the football flag was always kept flying in the Mid. And now with great footballers, North, South, East and West we can now say that football all as an all county appeal.

So come early next Sunday and help to get behind the team !

Funnily enough though myself and a friend were just saying at the match the other night that there is probably as much North men currently on the senior panel than West men. Can name Josh, Brian Fox, Mcdonald and Robbie Kiely (originally Arravale but now west cork) from the West. Could be missing someone though.

The north on the other hand have Georgie, Tin Cup, Philly and Willie Connors.

Heffernan in midfield. No Paudie or Seamie. Another chance for Aidan McCormack.

Mick is intent on creating competition on the panel thats for sure. Should be a good game. Did Kearns name the football team yet?

I regret to have to confirm this. I have no idea as to the reason why !

That's a shame. Given the rainfall pitch mustn't be in great shape there, wonder if they reckon it could only feasibly take one game? Pure speculation on my part though!

ScummyMan

That's a disgrace. Footballers getting the short end of the stick as usual

Im assuming the fear is that the ground wont hold up for the hurling given the wet weather. Wrong on the footballers to get such short notice. Wonder will they play the double header next weekend so?

Hurling tomorrow and football next week. Unless the hurlers are out again next week and you are alluding to a double header that way. Pretty dissapointing regardless was really looking forward to a day out in thurles for it, im interested to see what reasoning they have behind it.!

Puts the footballers under a bit of pressure to get a result too. Im sure Longford are not too pleased about it either. Will the double header tickets be honoured at the stile for the football next week? :P I doubt it somehow

Great to see a squad develop. There's at least 2 starting spots available for the championship. Hopefully it'll keep the pressure on the 'dandys'.

Strange game, tipp played championship hurling the first ten minutes of the first half and didn't play the rest of the half, second half they really showed the quality with the wind behind them and pulled away and won comfortably. John McGrath the standout and think Stephen o brien is taking his chance. Can't see Aidan McCormack getting too many more chances.

Another good win for the boys today,work rate was pretty good again in heavy conditions. Hamill and Donagh Maher both showed up very well, Maher brothers strong as ever. Kennedy has had an almost fairytale Senior career so far and he'll bounce back from his first bad day, that happens to the best. Brendan Maher was going well before his injury problem, Breen and Heffernan were average I thought. O Brien had a mixed day, touch let him down on occasions but he's a big powerful chap with something to offer. Noel and Bubbles chipped in with some lovely scores and John McGrath absolutely skinned Cian Dillon, Dillon very rattled at one stage. O Meara was his usual self, worked hard and got a score but he's not a natural forward. Aidan McCormack looks a bit light for that level of hurling at the moment.

I've said it here before but why don't they open the blue gate on the Thurles IT side of the ground? Complete bottleneck at the main entrance after the game.

Agree mostly, but I think O'Brien deserves more than "mixed day". He's impressed me in all 3 games so far and will only improve going forward. Needs to improve his decision making on the ball for sure, he's a strong guy but taking it into contact is not always the right option. See him as a certain championship starter at this stage, so much hurling in him too.

Where would O'Meara's natural place be if not in the forwards? Where does he play his club hurling usually?

He'd be half back or midfield normally for Kilruane, a fella I know from that club is adamant that he's not a forward, possibly suffers a bit for being versatile. I was probably a bit mean on O Brien alright but I don't know will he have the stickwork for Championship hurling.

Was there any goal chance today? Can't recall watching a hurling match without one before.

It may well be that i am over-estimating O'Brien on the fairly limited evidence thus far, but I am sweet on him all the same. I mean no disrespect to Dan McCormack, but I think O'Brien does everything he can do just as good and has a few extra strings to his bow in terms of pure hurling. Time will tell. It's presenting Mick with a couple of headaches anyway and that's a grand thing.

I like O'Meara, he's a fine hurler and has a good attitude. Probably getting a bit frustrated not to be getting more chances but it's a tough team to break into. He's just on the limit.

Can't recall any clear-cut goal chances. Bubbles and John Mac were playing quite deep at times, didn't really have the men inside or create the space for runners against a packed defence. Remember a discussion on this thread a year ago about how Tipp were too reliant on goals so 28 points on a day like today was a fair enough achievement.
