John Allen on the radio this morning, used the words, he actually said them, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard them with my own ears.
“Limerick don’t fear Tipperary”
It’s a sign.
The level of delusion on this thread is quite refreshing

I think that should be the county motto and stitched over the crest.
In the argument that our half forward line is defensive, it has been lost that Hickey’s man has gone through a pile of ball in every game since he moved to the forwards and he is arguably the loosest forward we have.
I am currently about 50/50 on whether we’ll win or not. I expect to be 60/40 tomorrow, 70/30 Friday, 80/20 Saturday, 90/10 Sunday morning and 100% convinced by the time of the throw that we are going to beat Tipp back into the Shannon.
I hope there is a fucking massive row after the throw in and we lay down a few markers in it, I’ll be laying down a few markers in the Ardhu before hand if I see that Tipp cunt CarryHarry around the place.
I hope Wayne Mac takes the hand off someone early doors (not literally of course, we all have to get up for work in the morning)
A couple of trademark Wayne Mc and Tom Condon shoulders early on and the tipp forwards won’t want to go near the ball!
You are gone soft from living in Tipp Runt.
If the fella is unemployed can we hope he literally takes the hand off him?
I’d like to get Billy Da Kid’s input before I start getting wildly optimistic.
Limerick will fucking walk this.

Literally
Limerick GAA people have traditionally accepted that hand injuries are part and parcel of high intensity, big occasion, hurling clashes.
Chaps, I don’t think that Tipperary forward lineup looks all that great. Am I wrong?
And we’ll walk over them Tipp cunts in the process.
This thread is pushing my confidence levels ahead of expectations
POST of The Fucking WEEK ( so far ) !
Points to note for the weekend
1 - Tipperary people tend to bring sandwiches to the big games so as not to support local industry, i.e. chip vans etc.
2 - The most common drink drunk by Tipp fans is cold tea.
3 - Tipp led by 9 points at half time in the 1996 Munster Final. But as Limerick came back, with the scores level with 4 minutes to go a cry could be heard from the terrace “wrap up those sandwiches & put them in the deep freeze from the replay”.
4 - The loudest cheer of the day from Tipperary fans is upon the arrivals of the first fans to the stadium who then proceed to take the tin foil off the sandwiches. This is an ancient territory marking ritual.
5 - 48% of Tipperary fans paint their cars blue & gold.
6 - 49% of Tipperary fans believe John Leahy is the new messiah.
7 - 99% of Tipperary fans believe that Leahy launching a glass into a Limerick man’s face is acceptable. The other 1% has had to move to other counties.
8 - Almost all Tipperary Priests use Finches orange instead of wine to celebrate mass.
9 - All Tipperary farmers use hurleys to hunt their cattle.
10 - Amazingly, hurling is not the most popular sport in Tipperary. It is in fact “tinny”, the practice of throwing balls of tin foil from old batches of sandwiches against a friends head, & laughing uncontrollably.
11 - almost all of the Tipperary fans buy the matchday program even though they are in the main illiterate. Many can be seen reading an upside-down program. Apparently, the pictures in the program do not help the Tipp faithful, as most action photos of Tipperary hurling involve somebody “getting capsized”.
12 - The driver to the disco on a Saturday night drinking spree is allowed to drink & drive by Tipp gardai as long as he wears a hurling helmet.
13 - Contrary to popular belief, Tipperary men do not have somebody else as their ventriloquists. Although they appear not to be talking, they are talking, but their lips are not moving. This is a trick learned early in the young Tipp man’s life, allowing him to talk about hurling at Sunday mass, but never get caught.
14 - 24 is the biggest number in Tipperary arithmetic. They like to call themselves “The premier” county even though, with 24 All-Ireland’s, they are 3rd in the roll of honour, with Cork on 28 & Kilkenny on 26.
15 - Most Tipperary fans believe that because the GAA was founded in Thurles that they own the GAA. The fact it was founded by a Clare man, who also was partial to sandwiches & cold tea, cannot change Tipp views.
16 - The most common birthday present in Tipperary is a lunchbox, to carry matchday sandwiches.
17 - Sex in Tipperary has now been restricted to 90 seconds, the same amount of time it takes for John Leahy to go on & come off again. Many Tipp women have welcomed the length of time trebling.
18 - Tipperary hurling fans are not allowed to buy flags, hats & scarves anywhere apart from Thurles. Pity the poor souls who went to Cork the night before the Clare match but had to return to the hallowed Thurles turf to buy a flag. But rules are rules.
19 - Tipperary were against the new blood substitution rule from day one. They cited how they “opened” Brendan Lynskey in the 1989 All Ireland semi final & how it led to them baytin’ (translation - “Beating”)Galway & thus win the All-Ireland.
20 - There are no showers in Tipperary. Instead, the practice is for the father of the house to fill a bath on a Saturday evening & have a nice bath, followed by the mother of the house, followed by the eldest son etc. (all using the same bathwater). So the question now is: "are your tickets for the Munster final in the Tipp or Limerick end ?
:oops:
There’s nothing like Munster championship in the sun that’s for sure.
Win, lose or draw, carryharry will be lucky to get out of Limerick alive.
FAO of The Runt… Has busker Tom given a prediction?
Ill seek him out at lunch time and find out
