He really over-eggs almost everything he writes. The smiths reference aside that was a mess.[/quote]

That was a load of shite.

That’s a bullshit excuse. There would have been more noise at the All Ireland semi final that year v Waterford for them as it was nearly a full house with a relatively small number of neutrals. And finals are more diluted by the number of neutrals present.

They may have shit themselves but to blame the noise is ridiculous.[/quote]

Doubt he was blaming it, just offering one of the reasons why they were shit.

Ffs sake Gman. You must be going back 11 years with a statement like that. You might as well say that this Kilkenny team has one 30 whatever all Ireland titles.

So keeping with my All Ireland tradition.
I wanted to use a Damien Sandow video this year but WWE seem to have taken it down from YouTube.

So I’m just gonna point to the two above videos.
Until 5pm we’re still the All-Ireland champions.
So Galway to be the man… you know the rest.
Also, after the Leinster Final… NOW let’s see you do it again.

'Hon the fucking Cats.

Expecting Tipp to win this minor match handy.

It was noisy, there was a buzz, they were nervous but Kilkenny just executed their game plan and dismantled them in the first 15 minutes. Game over.

Great display by the Dubs in the first half. Fantastic workrate and tackling and some superb scores from distance. Tipp not scoring from play in the first was a big surprise.

He wasn’t blaming it. It was part of a discussion on preparations for the final. His point was that it’s hard to legislate for the atmosphere if you haven’t been there before. Lots of players have made similiar statements. No doubt that Kilkenny were the better team, they destroyed us in the early part of the game before hitting cruise control for the second half.

In a surprise move, Daithi Regan resorts to armchair psychology to explain the first half.

Great to see Tipp hurling still alive there in the first half when the Tipp man tried to behead the Dublin full back.

hopefully

Ha, yeah since Cody took over, was reading it there during the week. But irrelevant to as far back as then, this kk team has far more experience, and I just think it’ll be the difference.

Galway crowd up the back of the hill haven’t stopped singing since they were in here, will be fucked by time senior starts.

Decent minor game tho.

Outrageously harsh decision to give Dublin the free for the equaliser.

Dublin didn’t deserve to lose though, excellent game to be fair.

I’m delighted with my decision not to go to this match now because I can just go to the replay instead.

Matt Cooper doesnt care that its a draw, he’s going to have a trophy presentation regardless after the break.

Very good game alright. Great effort by the Dubs considering Tipp were expected to win by 10+.

Replay in Thurles no doubt.

Don’t be so defeatist about the chances of your own little venue hosting such a prestigious match.

PLENTY of tickets around.

Wait 30 mins and you’ll prob get a free one
