The decision making needs to be spot on when you get to this juncture.
That said, there’s still more cohesion to be got from the Tipp attack, I think.
But if Tipp can shore things up inside, it’s hard to envisage Galway outscoring a Tipp forward line who are working hard and converting chances to a very high standard. Craig Morgan has endured misfortune again. Two weeks ago, in this column, I figured the loser of the Leinster final would slip out of All-Ireland contention, but Galway surely did enough in that battle to convince themselves the war wasn’t lost.Ĭathal Barrett’s return is vital for Liam, as his last line looks the most troublesome. On the flip side, Liam Cahill will have seen what Galway delivered in the final quarter against Dublin and Kilkenny and will be concerned they have the capacity to bring that to the table for much longer periods. And Henry will know they are unlikely to survive similar fadeouts on Saturday. Galway, in contrast, have huffed and puffed at times against all the stronger teams they’ve met.

They might have been better served by a sterner test from Offaly last weekend, but you had to admire the urgency they brought to dismantling the Faithful on their home patch in a matter of minutes. Tipp might get the vote in terms of consistency, with their only significant blip coming against Waterford. So recent history tells us this will be tense and close and our gut says the same.
The message was fairly frank in its view that my time was up and gave us a great laugh on the drive home. There was a funny moment on the bus afterwards when I checked my phone and heard a voicemail from a supporter who had left early and presumed we’d been beaten. But he did incredibly well to gather and forage and eventually feed his pal Larry on the loop for the winner. For all his long list of skills, Pa wouldn’t have been your first nominee to contest a clash ball in the dying moments. I’ll never forget Pa Bourke’s role in the 2010 quarter-final when we scored the last three points to sneak it and stay alive. Aidan Harte's late goal in covid 2020 was a dagger. Paudie’s hit on Joe in the 2016 rematch and the two late peaches of goals from John McGrath and Bubbles that won it. Seamie’s defiant 3-9 (3-4 from play) in the 2015 semi, only to end up on the losing side. Joe’s magnificent point in the 2017 semi-final is the most talked about cameo. And nearly every one has given us moments to treasure, whatever side of the bridge you’re on. And the contests have gone to the wire.Įight of the last 10 meetings have been settled by two points or less. But while the hitting has been hard whenever the counties have met, the skill on show has generally been breathtaking.
“So it was my opinion that we oughta be rooting for our teammates rather than kind of lounge it because we pretty much had everything but playing cards over there, so I thought it was time to move on from that.When I came back for the second stint in 2018, Galway were certainly among the counties we were thinking about when we realised Tipp were struggling to match up physically. “We were in that period of time where it sure seemed to me we were a lot more interested in sitting in that chair than being on the football field or rooting for our teammates,” Mike Leach said postgame. Mississippi State would go on to win the game 39-33, but his postgame quote made the sideline moment even better. This was a video that would live on forever, as another Mike Leach teachable moment, or just frustration. Highly upset with his offense, Leach went to the wide receivers area on the sidelines and folded up every one of their chairs, placing them on the ground. The Bulldogs led 24-6 at halftime, but came out in the third quarter looking flat, as the Tigers cut the lead to 24-19. Leach, the late Mississippi State football coach, had so many funny moments during his time coaching college football, but his last one came this past season against Auburn. This was the case for Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello on Tuesday night against LSU in the College World Series. There are different ways to pay tribute to Mike Leach, even if you aren’t trying or had the intention.
