Ain’t looking good for the Dubs. …
Christ that’s embarrassing
Hon galway!
Dont seem to play well outside the pale.
Galway have the ability to do this to anyone on any day
Lets hope its not a one off they dont get carried away.. Like previous campaigns. Here come Galway!
Canning is class
Joe only showed up when young mannion had won them the match easy be immense when the game is won
Galway are out of sight at this stage.
Galway scoring like Tipp and tackling like Killkenny. Need to do it on a regular basis though
Starting the best centre back in the game in the forwards is nonsense, and keaney is a great ball winner is started in the backs! Madness.
Galway hurlers are a dirty bunch.
Ref is soft.
Dub hurlers are soft.
No denying a fine performance by Galway.
Third week in a row it’s been a poor performance by the ref. No advantage rule in any of the games and some of the decisions very questionable.
Sounds like sour Dub grapes to me. Tastes lovely.
If Galway had scored 4 goals less it would have been a draw. Exciting stuff.
Awful day for dubs but reality is there was just 5 score in it…just unfortunate that 4 of them were goals… Long road thru qualifiers now
Hon Caltra
Fair play to Galway . Good hard win but if Kilkenny had won that today like Galway did there would be uproar and lads calling for Brian Galvins head. Seems he only supposed to let Kilkenny away with tough performances like that. It’s hurling after all not some soft sort of game for the Olympics
Dubs never don’t up but good luck to Galway
Don’t no what Brennan and Mulcahy were looking at, I thought there was a great crowd in Tullamore this evening!
