Galway v Tipperary - All Ireland Senior Hurling Semi-Final 2017

[Special_Olympiakos]

The score for 80 years was nowhere nearly is the point I was making. Tipp recently are only moderately more successful than Clare yet still think they’re equal to KK.

[Special_Olympiakos]

KK ten in a row is preferable to any number of chip one in a rows. At least KK crowd are humble

[the_man_himself]

Kilkenny people humble ffs

Lads go easy @Special_Olympiakos.

All those years sniping at Tipp and it turns out the poor cunt is from Clare

looks like Jeff is a cat at the back of it all.

Not at all. I’m just pointing out the basic statistics of the last 15 years which are completely at variance with the somewhat bizarre claims you are making about Kilkenny fearing Tipperary. In the 9 years they have met in the Championship since 2002, Kilkenny have prevailed 7 times to just 2 for Tipperary. 4 league finals in that time span have all been won by Kilkenny as well.

I presume this Kilkenny fear you speak of refers to events of over half a century ago when Tipperary recorded a single All Ireland Final win over Kilkenny in each of the decades of the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.

Where did @caulifloweredneanderthal big up a one point win for Tipp in that game? I can’t see it anywhere

@the_man_himself

@GeoffreyBoycott would you like to point out where he was bigging up that result?

You can’t have looked very hard. You only had to scroll back 5 posts.

@Special_Olympiakos

Excellent Geoffrey- there was a second minor meeting between them where a so called chip team of the ages struggled to a one point win over Richie Hogan and 14 water carriers in 2006.

@caulifloweredneanderthal

A minor team that was primarily made up of lads who were 17 and went on to win it again the following year

[the_man_himself]

And where exactly is he bigging the result up?

I’ll ask again as I seem to have missed your answer. What’s the head to head in AI SH Finals Jeff?

Can’t help you there pal. I’d have a good grasp on all the finals back to 1922 but before that I’d be hazy particularly back into the late 19th century when Tubberadora were winning All Ireland Finals representing Tipperary. Why don’t you avail of that google research tool you’re always talking about? Let me know if you get your answer. I’d be interested to find out as well.

If its of any assistance to you, I do know Kilkenny have won 36 All Ireland’s and Tipperary have won 27.

@GeoffreyBoycott

@carryharry who doesn’t place any value on All Ireland semi final wins has just given @caulifloweredneanderthal a tea in a mug rating for bigging up a Tipperary 1 point win in an All Ireland Minor semi final in 2006.

Of the 2006 starting XV, team of 17 year olds @caulifloweredneanderthal referred to, I make it ten didn’t feature in the 2007 final. Could it be that those 10 were overage and were in fact 18 in 2006 and not all 17?

[the_man_himself]

Name those 5 players that played in both finals mate

Let’s take it one step at a time. You’ve been hounding me all day on why I was asserting that @caulifloweredneanderthal was bigging up a one point All Ireland Final win for the Tipperary 2006 minors.

I pulled up @caulifloweredneanderthal on the veracity of his assertion that the 2006 team was in his own words primarily made up of lads who were 17 - 10 of the starting 15 in 2006 didn’t feature in 2007 - most likely because most if not all of the 10 were 18 (or at worst almost 18) at the time of the 2006 final.

I presume you are now conceding that @caulifloweredneanderthal was bigging up that 1 point win by the 2006 team, taking such liberties with their age profile.

Joe canning was a minor at 12*

Joe was born at the latter end of 1988 and played three years as a minor.

Jimmy Doyle and Brian Corcoran were born towards the start of the year and both played 4 years as minors.

Yes, he wasn’t bigging it up. I don’t think you understand what bigging something up is given your posts

Apart from Tom Stapleton and Pa Bourke the best players on the team were 17

Tut tut Jeff, Tipperary won that AI Minor Final by a lot more than a point.

[Special_Olympiakos]

Joe was in the Galway team denied three in a row by the aforementioned Tipp team in the final. Pa Bourke scored an early fluky goal from a free when going for a point.
