True , but the big rival then is much diminished now

They’ll go down as a generation of massively talented players who lived in Kilkenny’s shadow and never managed back to back. If they don’t do back to back they will never shake the unfavourable comparison with Kilkenny, in terms of hunger and will to win. If they chip in a fourth all Ireland with a win finally back to back, preferably beating someone decent along the way, they’ll be an all time great team with their legacy secured. If sheedy and co thought that status was already achieved they’d ride off into the sunset, they haven’t, they know Tipp have to win another one.

Stop talking scutter, every team that ever played the game will be compared unfavourably with that Kilkenny team. If Tipp win next year wankers like you will be coming out with “sure they haven’t done 3 in a row since 1951”.

We’ll be going down to Ennis with everything on the line. Looking forward to it already. Ating the sangwiches in Dunne’s Car Park and then looking for a place to stand in the Cowshed or sit in the stand they got in Ikea

You forgot the part about taking a piss around the back wall of the toilets because there aren’t enough urinals…

And only enough electricity to run one kettle

[Batigol]

Fucking Ennis. I hate Ennis

Must get tickets for it ASAP all the same

This current group of Tipp players and management are the most successful Tipp team in living memory unless you are 70+ years of age.

As with every other all Ireland team they will forever be in the shadow of the great Kilkenny sides we have seen under Cody who a huge number of the most decorated hurlers the game has seen. Tipp will definately want to win another A/I but if they don’t the legacy of the likes of Sheedy, O’Shea, the Mahers, Callinan et al is already secure, one more A/I isn’t really going to change the narrative around them.

If anything, I would argue that the Galway side which has been an consistent side for the past 6 or 7 years and as good as what is in the country are the ones who probably need to add another All Ireland to add to their legacy as opposed to these Tipp lads.

[Dollars]

Looks like Tipp will be qualified to get out of Munster before they have to play Limerick and Cork. Two wins should suffice with a high score difference.

[johnnysachs]

Agreed. We have beaten Kilkenny in 3 All Ireland finals under Codys watch. Winning by an average margin of 10/11 points in each. This group of players have nothing left to prove.

[Ashman]

No one is questioning the ability of this Tipp team but I am sure they would love to win a couple back to back .

Of course Tipp want to win another but failing to do so won’t define them. The last 10 years has been a helluva ride for a Tipperary hurling fan, I’m happy to have followed and watched some of the greatest hurlers ever to play for Tipperary. 3 All Irelands could easily have been 5 or 6 or conversely none at all, I’ve enjoyed it anyway.

This team tipp team will be remembered for a longer than the cork team that done 2 in a row.

The more I think of it, the more I think this is nonsense. You’re probably too young to judge, I nearly am myself. But the records speak for themselves, Cork won their three in a shorter time period than Tipp and included a back to back, and introduced a style of hurling that changed the way the game was played and left a lasting impact on the game. Like it or not they also raised professionalism and standards across the board.

Nonsense. I’ve no all Ireland’s. Tipp have this year to seal their legacy. It will be a vastly greater achievement over a decade or so if they cap it with back to backs, something many felt this group would achieve before now. Sheedy sees this and is going for it. Do you think he’d be staying on if he thought they had achieved all they could or if he wasn’t aiming at winning an all ireland next year? Would he fuck.

[anon61878697]

Cork invented the modern game

[dodgy_keeper]

Spike needs to step in here and ensure we don’t end up playing three weeks in a row, which would be the third year in a row that has happened.

[carryharry]

He’s staying on because he didn’t agree to a 1 year term you flute
