You shouldāve seen what Tipp men were saying in the open stand about Kehoe before he was taken off at HT in Limerick. The split season has turned Tippsters on their own amateur representatives.
There was a Limerick lad behind me on the terrace for the MF who had a set against the ref before the game even started.
āThis cunt he never gives us any freeā, āhe hates usā. He abused him high up and low down for the whole game, wouldnāt matter how correct the decision was he was roaring at him telling him he was wrong.
I had to move away from him because he was actually giving me a pain in my head. Compounded by the fact the ref was awful. But those one eyed fellas who canāt even admit to the most blatant free would melt you
Itās gone way over the top since covid. Lads are too comfortable they wonāt face consequences for calling their own countymen useless cunts etc in crowded stands. Thereās a line where it turns into English association soccer wannabes.
Donāt even have to look back to the bad old days. Had a bandwagoner behind me at the Clare round robin match roaring at fellas. I resisted for a while but gave him plenty of it in the end.
There was a group of 4 sitting behind me at the munster final, all the 1 family I would think who spent the entire match roaring and shouting at the ref, it was unreal. Every single free he gave against Limerick he got dogs abuse, a lad two seats down from me asked them to give it a rest and he then got dogs abuse. Every county attracts a certain element with success but I would be sure this grouping were fairly new to the hurling world.
One of these days he was going to cause havoc. I had hoped itād be Saturday. Weāve nothing to replace him with. Threadbare in the forward department.
As much stick as Jayo gets he was actually proving to be a bit of a handful for the opposition off the bench this year. Probably means Collins will have to come on earlier and as talented as he is he might not be ready yet to make an impact in a game like this. Especially physically.
They wonāt say anything noteworthy anyway. Saves spamming up each newspaper with the same few quotes. Saves spamming up the internet with podcasts with the same few lines.
