To think this pain in the hole was thinking of running for President.

Just checking, Fisty is posting from the pub, and Fagan is posting from Croke Park?

Pj Ryan is still very worried about us all getting home safe.

How do you sleep at night PJ with all the worrying.

im really looking forward to this. lets hope we get a great game.

kk by 5+ with richie power man of the match.

Bell x1 and imelda May playing for the build up music. Inspirational stuff.

Tipp are going to trounce Kilkenny I reckon by 3 points. Any number of Tipp players could be MOTM, but Iā€™m going for Conor Oā€™Mahony to throw off the shackles.

Thereā€™s no empty seats now.

Rumours of Michael Cahillā€™s demise appear to be greatly exagerrated.

Congratualtions to Eddie Brennan on the boirth of his son Harry during the week.

Bright start by KK.

Kilkenny all over Tip hereā€¦

As big a pain in the hole as Norris?

JJā€™s on fire

Colin Fennelly showeing some rustiness here.

The cats are hitting very hard, good to seeā€¦

kk dominant from 5-9 so far

KIlkenny motoring nicely here. Great start to the game, Hickey showing well which bodes well early doors.

Cummins fucking steeped there.

Nearly 13mins in and Tip have yet to score, i wouldnā€™t be surprised if they failed to register a single score today.

Kilkenny sending high balls into the full forward line at every opportunity, but with very little joy thus farā€¦

Brilliant from Curran there, Tipp desperatly need a score

+1

Tips use of possession v poor so far. Kk hbā€™s are destroying them
