Where Tipperary leads, Ireland

Mr. Moonlight was lead down a septic tank by Patrick Quirke. That didn’t work out well

Had a few quid on Tipp (-2). Thankfully they beat the handicap, at just under 3/1. John McGrath rolled back the years there today.

Tipp never choked like Limerick did v Offaly in 1994

Or like Kerry choke ever year when they meet northern opposition

Kerry beat several Nordie\Ulster counties in the 2000s in the championship and some of them more than once

eh? Kerry have won more matches against Northern opposition than they have lost in the last 25 years , they have beaten every county from the North they have played( except Down) beaten some of them on numerous occasions

This is gas, a Limerick throws a dirty dig at Tipp re “great pantheon” of Tipp chokes and then all sensitive when reminded of the 1994 choke and a heap of posts follow about Kerry losing to “every Nordie side” “every year” etc when stats dont actually come close to supporting this

I dont remember the detail of these so called “chokes” to be honest Iron Mike

were they “chokes”? if so were they on 1994 All Ireland Hurling final scale of choke?

or the 1982 all ireland football final scale of choke , some in kerry would refer to that as a choke

If Cork win out, beating Limerick and Waterford, Tipp also beat Waterford, then Clare can still qualify if they beat Limerick. Cork would have 7 points, Tipp 5, Limerick and Clare both 3 (with Clare edging it on H2H) and Waterford 2.

So far as I can tell, any other result in any of the 4 games left puts Clare out. That’s the only way they survive

If Tipp had another 200 supporters in Ennis yesterday they would have won that at their ease, Clare wouldn’t have been able to mount any sort of a comeback.

So here’s the thing. If you’re going to have a pop for no apparent reason make sure you can back it up rather then picking a random game out of your arse and using it as a benchmark. Was 1994 a choke? Absolutely. But ultimately remembered for what was at stake. So go back and look at the 21 Munster final and the 2007 first replay. The 2007 in particular has more similarities to 1994 as it happened in a similar time frame. Incidentally I don’t regard the 1982 football final as a choke. It was a two point lead.

The traffic was fierce heavy around Caherdavin yesterday.
None of them paid for the tunnel.

Tipp appreciate the finer things in life, like crossing the Shannon Bridge as the sun is low in the sky,

I didnt like the cut off Tipp by the Limerick and that was reason enough for me to have my say . I didnt realise there was such defined rules of engagement on this site that you couldnt get involved unless your own county was slighted

Citing The 1994 All Ireland Hurling Final is hardly picking out a random match, it was far from random so if a Limerick man is furring around digs about choking well hardly surprising that match will come up. I left out the 1996 final against 14 man Wexford

Re 1982, Kerry were odds on favourites going for 5 in a row, the greatest team of all time and when history beckoned - they missed a penalty and conceded a type of a a goal they would rarely ever concede. There is a narrative that on the biggest day ever for them that they choked with the finishing line and history in sight. I dont really agree with that but I have heard it said. It is also highly disrespectful to Offaly, the signs were there that Offaly were coming as a serious side capable of winning an all ireland
