@PremierviewPod the manner of defeat exposed deep structural issues within the set up. Examples of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole; players playing out of position: forwards in the half back, half backs in corner, midfield, lack of work rate, a stubbornness in using same tactics

@PremierviewPod I understand that but it's so frustrating to watch when we know players are capable of much better than that

7 points up. 56 minutes gone. Tipperary 2-14 Clare 0-13 Lost. Clare hit 2-2 late (2-1 in injury time) to win 2-15 to 2-14. Tipp edged Cork & Waterford… this time it flipped. Still alive in Munster 👀 Full 1200 word breakdown + scenarios 👇 thepremierviewpodcast.com/tipp-collapse-…

@eamonn19791032 @BrophShane I agree

@BrophShane Play defensive hurling and you end up conceding 7 points in injury time.this result has been coming since the start of championship.the manager and coach are ruining a group of players with their defensive nonsense.hope they never get near the senior setup as it will be carnage

Munster U20 Hurling - FT Tipp 2-14 Clare 2-15 Tipp concede 2-1 in injury time as Clare come from 7 down snatch victory. Tipp just sat off too much late on and cost them after reduced to 14 men. Better in the second half but there is still way more in this group of players.

@board_south Hard to fathom why the same system and gameplay is still being deployed despite evidence that it's not working at all for the team.

Fair assessment. Hard to watch a group who've been so successful across multiple teams be so shackled by the current gameplan and system they're being asked to deploy. Fair play to Clare who kept knocking all game and took their chances very well.

@JimmyMa10242805 @JC_TIPP @TipperaryGAA It was the talent in the squad that got the all Ireland last year. It made him look good

@JC_TIPP @TipperaryGAA The same man who won an all Ireland with the 20s team last year?

Score updates in association with Templetuohy Foods Munster Under 20 Hurling Championship Round 4 Full time Tipperary: 2-14(20) Clare: 2-15(21)

@JC_TIPP @TipperaryGAA I agree 100%. Unable to learn from mistakes. Unable to get the best out of the talent in the squad. Too restrictive and negative in approach

@TipperaryGAA Brendan Cummins was an outstanding player, but his limitations as a manger are destroying the chances of a quality U20 squad.

@edwardmcc3874 @BrophShane It's been the same in this championship with the management team

@BrophShane Very poor performance Murray and O’Reilly best of the backs Ormond and Ryan best of the forwards Midfield did well I really do not know what they are doing in training, very poorly coached

@BrophShane Its a poorly prepared team

Munster U20 Hurling - HT Tipp 1-6 Clare 0-7 Poor stuff so far continuing trend of the championship so far. More wides than scores (10+7). Tipp forwards struggling apart from Ormond. Taking poor options in limited possession Clare have the breeze to come.

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile. That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap. That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel. People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

@PremierviewPod Yes, indeed

@oconnelln_5 A really enjoyable game of hurling last night Noel

Tipperary minor hurlers dropped 4-20 on Clare last night in Thurles 🔥 But here’s the thing… they created 6+ goal chances. It could’ve been more. We’ve gone 1,900 words deep on this: ⚡ Their attacking system ⚡ The forward line ⚡ Why this team is playing a Tipperary brand of Hurling 👉 Full breakdown: thepremierviewpodcast.com/tipperary-mino… #GAA #Tipperary #MHC

@andyfitz90 Agree 100%. You'd think Cummins and co. would cop on to themselves

This is some dogshit of a hurling match, Tipp have 1 forward within 50 yards of Waterfords goal, and are launching hail marys for fun down on top of Waterford backline!

Two wins from two… but something isn’t right. Tipperary U20s escape again, but handbrake hurling is holding this team back. We’ve gone deep on this one, 1800+ words breaking down EVERYTHING from last night. 0-16 to 0-15. Big questions. 👉 thepremierviewpodcast.com/tipperary-hand…

@nickflavin @PremierviewPod There is a selector there who's a very capable coach but is not being utilised.

@PremierviewPod Cummins holding them back. Very negative hurling when you consider the talent on the panel.

@PremierviewPod The article is well presented showing facts & different perspectives & without a hint of undue bias. With Cummins & management, there's a consistent pattern of crazy tactics: a lone forward outnumbered opposition backs al la 2024 All Ireland & early rounds in Munster.

Harty Cup winners. All-Ireland senior schools champions. All-Ireland U20 winners. All-Ireland Minor winners All-Ireland Senior winners All on the Tipperary Team tonight And Tipp scraped out of Dungarvan by a point. With a gale at their backs, they still, at times, had just ONE forward inside in the last third. It made absolutely no sense. That’s not on the players, that’s on management. The setup looked completely wrong. No proper use of the wind, no shape, no cutting edge. Tipp won by a point, but they made it far harder than it needed to be. Serious questions for the line after that.

Mother of God we were blessed to win that. Playing with 2 forwards inside the opposing 65 is a fair negative brand of hurling

@PremierviewPod We one Tipp forward. All the rest are in the other half. Management are clueless

A picture that says it all Tipp with the wind behind them tonight in Dungarvan Anyone care to explain to us,what the issue is ?
