Ireland pushed NZ all the way a few weeks back then a week later got hammered by 60. Play kk enough times and somebody's ship will come in and will beat them, but one swallow never made a summer and all that.

I'll eat my hat if Galway get within a asses roar of the All Ireland, these bottlers always come out of no where and turn in one huge performance once every 4 or 5 years and then promptly sh1t themselves when it really matters

I was delighted to galway win on Sunday. Brilliant hurlers produced in galway and they are dues an All ireland. What makes me laugh is the hype that sorrunds a team that has Choked year after year because they beat Kilkenny. Galway are ALWAYS capable of beating Kilkenny every year. Most years they do not but this year they did.
What happens next?
Kilkenny to win the next 3 games by an average of 8 points to claim 2 in a row.
Galway to choke in the semi final regardless who they meet.
Waterford, Cork Tipp kilkenny are still better teams than Galway and when galway play one of these teams next they will lose. (Bare in mind that this is an average Waterford team along with Cork).This is just my opinion?

I know the OP is fishing but Galway do have a huge history of choking after huge performances like after the Cork game last year. Personally, I would rather see Galway win an AI more than anyone else, after Waterford of course, but the hype surrounding them never fails to amaze me. Yes Galway have beaten Kilkenny and I give them great credit for it, but until they put back to back performances together, they cannot be considered AI contenders. Bookies are giving them the same chance as Tipp which i just feel isn't right yet. Hopefully they show a bit of consistency and beat their semi-final opponenents (as long as it's not us)as it can only be good for the game in general.

Galway are All-contenders now whether they or even you like it. They are in an All-Ireland semi-final. If you are not a contender at that stage then what are you? I imagine they are on the same odds as Tipp as Tipp still have to play a Munster final and there is a good chance they will meet Kilkenny in the semis after that.
