"Micheal Donoghue got all his match-ups right. Cathal Mannion was supposed to start full-forward but he went wing-forward to pick up Paidí Maher. "For every puck out he was on the sideline and Paidí Maher had to be five yards away from him. But every puck out was going down the far side and it was keeping Paidí Maher as far away from the ball as possible," said Delaney. "It was very disciplined of Cathal Mannion to take himself out of the game, but the up side of that was no puck outs were coming down on top of Paidí Maher and he could not sweep in behind the half-back line."Former Tipperary corner-back Paddy Stapleton concurred with Delaney but argued that Galway's tactics would have been less effective against a more keyed-up Premier side. "Mannion was literally on the white line on the sideline, you could see exactly what he was doing, it was brilliant," he said. "If Tipperary were in their faces they would have found it a lot harder to keep Paidí Maher out of the game. Lads would have had to clear it under pressure and that is when Paidí Maher comes into his own."
