Titchy
Eddie Brennan was right. The pressure is all on Tipp for this one. Tipp need to win this one more than they’ve needed to win a title since '89. Kilkenny have beaten them in 3 out of 4 finals in recent years, and have knocked them out of 5 of the last 7 championships. There’s only so many defeats any group can take and keep coming back.

The problem for Tipp is they know it and worse again, Kilkenny know it
Spot on. Especially the half forward line.
not to mention league finals
I still think ye’ll do it. Just about.
there’ll be a few tickets floating around early there ye?
Yeah he just isn’t athletic enough to be a hard worker. I think his work rate has improved this year tbh although I was unable to attend the semi final
The historical precedent is encouraging for Tipperary. They really handled the weight of expectation well in that 1989 final against Antrim and got the job done.

Yes, but it took all their perfidy to get them through the real final against Galway.
We’ve also won every All Ireland Hurling Final with the year ending in 16 since the foundation of the GAA.

They were all played on Sundays as well. It’s written in the stars.

If only the 1916 one wasn’t played in January 1917, we’d be on a winner here lads
Semantics
Kilkenny may as well stay at home on Sunday. Very hard to beat the hand of history.
1916 was also Mayo’s first appearance in an All Ireland Football Final. Mayo lost.
rememeber lads, intensity… infuckingtensity will be the key
The ultimate event . The Warrior Game .
Few of the Tipp lads starting to get a bit rattled the closer we get. Time for @Brimmer_Bradley to come in and calm ye down a bit. Although it’s more preferable for ye to start shitting the togs I suppose. Has Babs been on Tipp FM yet telling ye all, that the Kilkenny fans will be heading home with 20 minutes left
It’s all good lads. John Mullane has it sussed. Five ways to beat Kilkenny in Saturdays Indo.
