All Ireland Gold or now to be known as old matches on d’tele

@ChairmanDan

If memory serves me correct, Babs made a big pronouncement before that Galway semi final in 1993 that the game of hurling badly needed a Kilkenny v Tipperary, All Ireland Final. Harmless enough comment to make before going out to face Galway, who never get too fired up by the sight of a Tipperary jersey.

Babs also dropped his captain Michael O’Meara for that match, the second time during his tenure that he dropped a captain to face Galway in a Championship match.

O Neill from Cappawhite was the first one I think. Cappawhite were county champions at the time. Babs approached Nicky to be captain and he was getting hate mail from the locals around that time.

im going to watch that
it was an incredible game of football
up there with the 2005 tyrone armagh replay and tyrone dublin QF for tension
id actually say along with the 2017 all ireland final and maybe the 1988 drawn all ireland final its one of my most memorable games

ill add cork galway in the 87 all ireland semi final the 1-11 draw where larry kicked one over in the last minute

Croke Park looked utterly resplendent that day, the new stands had all been completed but the old new Hill was still there - the less steep steps made for a more cauldron like atmosphere and you could still have heaves after scores as hapened after Whelo’s goal. As in/tense an atmosphere as I’ve ever experienced, it had that classic World Cup type blazing heat and sunshine.

There was a great story at the time about the level of seethe in Cappawhite . Tipperary flags , tickets etc were burnt there . I don’t want it to be untrue .

Nicky was quiet enough in that 1988 final. Conor Hayes did a fine job containing him.

…iewed the game and Tom was being interviewed. He was fond of a pint. There were a couple of empty seats in the audience so myself and the brother were plucked from the green room to fill them and we were half scuttered. Pat had Dana and her mother on that night as well. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

Clare were by far the better side in the 97 All Ireland.

[johnnysachs]

Agreed. It was only 2 goals by Cahill and O Neill against the run of play that kept Tipp in it.

Tipp did lead by 4 points at half time, Clare got well on top in the 2nd half though.

Jim McInenrey played some part in every game that year bar the final. He’s still sore about it to this day.

I got into a row with Jim at the league final a couple of years ago. Not a man to let an issue go easily.

Great match. Val Daly scored a cracking goal in the first half. John Fallon (Ja’s brother) scored a point to put Galway ahead in the dying minutes and it looked like we had snatched it. Cork went down the field and John O’Driscoll won a softish free outside the 45. Larry stepped up and drilled it over, massive free. I was brokenhearted in the end as I knew that was our chance gone. Replay was played in a near empty Croke Park the following Saturday and ye destroyed us, though if I remember correctly Galway scored another cracker of a goal, Gay McManus I think.

Should that not be in the hidden history archive rather than sporting at this stage, such was its significance?
