You’d have to think it’s theres to loose this year all right. Given the fact that Kilkenny only barely scraped passed Waterford last year and Tipp subsequent efficient dismantling of Kilkenny and the fact that Waterford scraped passed Kilkenny last weekend and Tipp efficient performance on Sunday would suggest that maybe Waterford have overtaken Kilkenny but are still nowhere Tipp standard when they are in the mood
Tipp haven’t a notion of retaining the All Ireland. Doe eyed simpletons falling over themselves to suck their balls off the back of a couple of poxy league games in February. Most over-rated side in the history of hurling
Tipperary will take their anger about last year’s HOTY fiasco out on everyone else. The ridiculously petty Callahan snub is driving them on this year according to my sources.
I see. I withdraw my earlier comment, I had no idea they were so pumped up. They’re a great side one no one can begrudge true greatness. It’s Tipps year no question
They might just have the pace to get away with, Clare are well setup to take on Tipp, especially if they get to Croker. Their game is focused towards bypassing the half-back line that is and has been so strong for Tipp for years. The big problem for Clare will be in defence, particularly the full back line. David McInerney’s pending return would be a huge boost.
