Time and tide waitfor the Tribesmen
The game itself had ended in controversy, Galway scoring an equalising goal three-and-a-half minutes into an injury time that had been announced as "at least two", thus denying a second-half come-back by Tipperary. As the crowds began to file out from the ground, Galway captain Fergal Moore fell in beside Pat Horan, the man with the un-coordinated watch and whistle.
"I asked him is it a replay, and he said it was, so we were convinced that it was over, for today at least, came back to the dressing-room happy to have got out of jail. We would have taken another match, the way we stole in there and got the goal, but once we heard there was extra-time there was no problem, we got ourselves ready."
