Jake Morris winning the crossbar challenge was the turning point of the year. My heart sank watching that.

The lone point from play Hoggy scored in the first half when he almost had his back to the goal when shooting and somehow floated it over with a flick of his wrists was majestic in fairness. But apart from another nice hand passed assist for another point he didnāt do a whole pile. Apart from get in Shellyās grill after the goal.

Thereās been a few markers over the year that have turned the tide in Tippās favour and that was most certainly a crucial one.
Another one Iāve referenced before but Sharlene being part of the bubble is critical. You have to be winning All Irelandās and having victory banquets/All Star nights with her involved.
You canāt be shit and be getting beat by Cork by 18 points in Thurles.

I have to say, there was a narrative on here mocking the farming community of Tipperary a few weeks ago, and it wasnāt appreciated by a lot of the decent rural folk of TFK. The GAA was built by farmers, and will continue to be backboned by it, and the townie set would do very very well to remember that. Dublin aside, very few All Irelands are won without a farmer on the side somewhere.

Sliding doors moments
I think lads are a bit quick to throw Pat Ryan on the scrap heap. Heās taken them to two All-Ireland finals from 3 attempts, won their first league since 1998, first Munster since 2018 and took down the Limerick behemoth on a number of occasions now. If you go back 12 months then Liam Cahillās stock was much lower than PRās is now. Similar to Cahill, Ryan has won multiple underage titles. Two successive U20 All-Irelands with Cork. He also won a couple of senior titles with Sarsfields. He had a very good CV.

Hes a lovely man. And he shouldnt be blamed for the tools at his disposal. But the stink from yesterday is so bad, he has to go. And they should burn the water bottles too just in case.

Agree. Question now is can he go and do what Cahill did and turn it around.
SOB is a 96ā I think. 30 next year. He could well end up with an All-Star this year. They need to find a couple of upgrades in that defensive line but hard to say with conviction who actually needs to go. The consensus on here would probably be Mark Coleman and SOB? Move the Downeys out of those central positions? Ciaran Joyce CB again?
In fairness itās not like heās failing to make it out of Munster. Tipp were delighted just to escape that bearpit initially.
I called it at the time. Said to my sister we wonāt get the ball thrown in on time at the pace heās going.
The Lord of the Dance will make it a proper show next year.
Jim McGuinnes will be factoring this into his pre match prep

You do realise the vast vast majority of having a pop at Hoggie here today, me included is internet posturing and point scoring.against the Carkies? Trying to get a rise?
A very good, not great player

According to TFK they need about 75% of a new team.

@peddlerscross would you have played underage or indeed adult hurling against many those Tipp lads yesterday? I assume you wouldāve rubbed shoulders with John McGrath at some point on a pitch growing up.
