Did you account for the 15 lads who went to Tullamore in a minibus but couldnât face going to Limerick on Saturday because there might be a drop of rain?
It really is remarkable the level of seeth that Tipperary Hurling brings up to opposition counties.
Like youâd never hear anyone speak of another county in hurling or football the way Skehill spoke about Tipp, yet the whole thing is just brushed off as the normal par for the course view of Tipp across the country. Youâd be cancelled if you said something like that about any other county.
I just couldnât imagine some former Dublin player saying, âJaysus I hate Kerry, I hate them. Its an insatiable hatredâ.
I have absolutely no issue with it and wouldnât want it any other way.
Its funny because the hatred wouldnât be reciprocated from Tipp to other counties at all in the same way really.
Like Galway fans booing Tipp onto the field for a Charity match back in the 1980âs is just mental stuff. KK fans booing Lar Corbett in 2013. No other county gets that sort of treatment.
That was a gas piece by Ken. The boys breaking their balls to get to Loughrea after playing club games a few hours earlier and the Galway crowd have them buckets of abuse for being 10 mins late
Same. Theyâve never been so dominant that theyâve caused any kind of resentment. A Tipp All-Ireland hurling victory is like a Kerry football win in the sense that Iâm always fairly happy for them. An absolutely wonderful county for carvery dinners and the common retort by the Limericks here about Tipperary women is well wide of the mark. Tipp women are generally lookers in my experience.
From the beautiful blonde ladies wearing tight white jeans with their Tipperary jerseys to the 1997 All Ireland semi-final to the Ryan sisters in my UCD BCOMM class to Gemma Hayes to Roz to UnaâŚTipperary women are usually unreal good.
Iâd have to say for the Tipp (cunts) colleagues that Iâve spoken to this week thereâs a fierce appetite for timbering the fuck out of Shefflinâs boys this weekend. None of these Tipp cunts are from bordering parishes either.
One way or the either a serious cough will be softened in the Information Technology sector come Tuesday morning (no weirdo is going office on a Monday).
Ah I love Tipperary and itâs people.
At the Limerick match this year there was tipp guy beside me who couldnât have shouted the team on any harder. The only breather he took was to shift heâs sister at half timeâŚI knew it was heâs sister as she had 8 fingers per hand too
