We played galway in the 1997 quarter final in Thurles as well I think. One of DJ Carey’s finest performances. We were 9 down at half time. DJ got 2.09 or something like that.
Ye whupped us there one year, possibly 2002 or was it 2006? Probably both actually.
Kilkenny made shit of them there is 2004 I think.
There was no abuse or molestation of staff there so wouldn’t be your kinda people
They killed us in 04, David Hayes might ‘jog’ your memory, we beat them in 05 obviously in Croker Niall Healy style then they were whipping us badly in 06 in Thurles before a few consolation scores for us at the end.
From recent memory in Thurles I can only remember us beating cork twice in qualifiers 02 and 2011(?) was it, Clare in 16

The 2002 match was played after the drawn Munster Football Final.
One of the few times (also 2011 minor football final) that I roared on tipp at a game
One that got away.
Yep. Declan Browne was better than mattie Forde. Watching tipp jerseys kicking a ball for the first time was very odd for some reason. Would be the same if I saw Kilkenny footballers play Lancashire or something now.

Christ, unfortunately I do. Conor Hayes giving his nephew his debut at centre back marking Shefflin. He lined out for the U21’s later on in the year at corner back.

Was that the day Peter Barry introduced the clothes line tackle?
Was that the day in the pissing rain?
I had ptsd after that. Willie O Connor bear hugged cloonan all day and instead of running away he got into a personal battle with him and the game passed him by. John Power timbered anything that moved. Broderick was class earlier but DJ gave arguably his best ever display
Ya right
Seriously. They were rough as fuck.
Did Waterford not cause us a collective mental breakdown in the era of that tipp cunt mcintyre in semple?
I seem to remember mullane diving over every arm in his vicinity. His cheating peaked as an art form that day and has yet to be bettered, though kk are steadily improving.
That was Eddie not Willie.
Ptsd can distort memory
Your repeated disdain of McIntyre is wonderful, pal.
