It was a cardiac specialist who was doing the compressions that was seated near the misfortune. They worked on him for 35 minutes, gave him 2 shots of adrenaline but to no avail. RIP.

Attendances are up year on year 
Serious case to be made that Munster needs a few bigger stadiums
RIP as right
Waterford have the smallest one sure and are being left behind at a rate of knots.
Bought Blackrock End tickets last night. I’m expecting the terrace to be rammed.
Split season going from strength to strength
They’ll need to split the split season in two at this rate.

I don’t think it’s any concidence that the three most successful teams in the Munster Hurling Championship have the three biggest stadiums.
Bigger capacity = Better team
It’s just science.
The same in Leinster, Nolan Pairc and Salthill are the two biggest stadiums.
The other teams better watch out if the new Casement ever gets built.
Lot of Tipp fans have crawled out of the woodwork. Theyll have a big following Saturday.

The glory of Tipp and Cork is something else. Written in folklore. Mutual respect. We will do battle for the hour Saturday night but embrace one another like long lost brothers afterwards. Drink, laugh, recall epic duels of yesteryear. Twill be mighty. The greatest rivalry in Irish sport. As the bauld Christy once said “hurling is only half dressed without Tipperary”. And you know what, he is right.

You are correct in lots of ways. Any reason why there was only 2,000 Tipperary fans and @peddlerscross with his life coach and partner last year in Limerick. Is it fair to say the core support for Tipperary is low in comparison to a county like Cork and even god forbid Limerick. When Clare go bad they might be lucky to bring 1,000 to a game, up there with some of the fairest weather support in the country.
I hate to tell the Limerick’s this, but in 2019 as soon as Galway were knocked out of Leinster, everyone in Tipp more or less knew the All Ireland was ours to lose and so it proved.
Limerick weren’t really on the radar at all. I know they caught us cold in a Munster Final but when the serious business started in Croke Park, it was more or less a procession for Tipp bar the Wexford game when it was 14 v 16 and we just about got the job done. The final was won by the bones of 20 points.
Meanwhile, Limerick were flying up and down the sideline, looking at laptops and clipboards trying to figure out how to beat the worst Kilkenny team in 30 years and failing to do so.

Are you @Brimmer_Bradley or a little deranged in the head. It has to be one of the two.
