I’m not mad about him as a ref. If a back stands up a forward he gives a free. But he seems to be consistent with it
When the opportunity arises you have to grab it. Tipp did in 19 and 25.
Cork with a better team didn’t.
You can talk about bad teams all you want. There’s only winning and losing tho, nothing else matters.

Tipperary 2025 would be the bookies favourite. Complete flop the year after and no mitigating circumstances.
Clare 2013 would be my pick for worst team to win all Ireland.never backed it up with any more silverware.
Fair going to get that done on a hot day

But what were Clare’s mitigating circumstances in 2025? That’s a bigger flop - relegated in league and not making it out of Munster?
I know there has to be a ‘worst’ winner but just curious on the rationale
Shane O’Donnell played 60 odd championship minutes, Diarmuid Ryan 35 minutes and Cleary zero minutes.
Tony Kelly was hospitalised with a stomach issue before round 2 which clearly hampered him.
They had a huge amount of injuries in the spring including three metatarsal fractures and were always playing catch up. In spite of that they at least fought to the end v Cork and Tipp and beat Limerick in the final round.
God bless Chat gpt?
The lawnmower is a nice touch.

Lawnmower is a nice touch for a house with no lawn.

What sort of customs and etiquette are we expecting from both counties ahead of All Ireland weekend?
Who’s in the Burlington etc?
Will Limerick seriously go home on the Sunday night again and allow for the farcical situation of a MOTM award to be presented in the smoking area of a rural pub?
Last year was obviously proper full-fat stuff with Tipperary involved so you’d be hoping both counties can conduct themselves with an appropriate level of gravitas and decorum this time around.

Im reliably informed Limerick castle has been booked with a marquee set up in the forecourt and silent disco afterwards. There’ll be pig on a spit and a curry guy on the night.
It should be epic.
Tipp delivered a fine imitation of a 1950s wedding last year.
The Limericks as always will do their own thing.

Tipp upheld their tradition of being fucking useless the year after winning it too

An All Ireland Minor winning Tipperary team being hosted by the Archbishop of Cashel/Emly on the steps of the Cathedral in Thurles is one of the finest traditions in the GAA.
Similiarly the Sean Treacy Memorial on Talbot Street at noon on All Ireland Senior Hurling Final day when Tipperary are involved.
Galway march across the Shannon when they win I suppose but do any other counties really have any real customs or traditions to match?
