+1. Barry Kelly a sound man too, had a few with him in Hideout last night. My fellow Tipp man, minor referee Johnny Ryan a bit of a stones though…[/quote]

Were you one of the older gentlemen leering at all the ladies in there, mick?

Did anyone happen to read Babs Keatings piece in the sun this morning. i am lead to believe he fairly lowered the boot into the likes of Kelly, O’Brien and Corbett

Eh, maybe…

A complete kip on any other day, but the best Croke Park watering hole by a distance. Fuckin fed us sandwiches around 11.30pm too…

Babs should take a look at the abject performances his team gave against Cork in 1990 and 1992 when defending their All-Ireland and the way he fucked Kelly and Cummins around in 2007 before throwing stones at anybody else. Idiot.

i haven’t read it but i believe he was fairly strong in his wording and said they abdicated responsibility yesterday just like they did under him in 2007. Babs is indeed an idiot

The bigger kip the place is the better. :pint:

What type of “ladies” frequent the place? :lol:

That move crowned the kings of modern hurling.

:clap:

I would use the word “ladies” advisedly :slight_smile:

It had everything.

A thoughtful build up.
Support play.
Brilliant first touch.
Pace.
Supreme finishing.

The excellence of execution.

Ha. I forgot about that. A lovely touch that was unsurprisingly lapped up by the Tipperary contingent. :clap:

Sid, that was my first time in there. I thought it was class but that was all down to the one and only Brian Gavin.

Ah I see. Chasing a bit of skirt who got her picture taken with aforementioned Mr Gavin?

Sounds like a tremendous night for the GAA refereeing fraternity. It’s great to hear that being a referee isn’t all vicious attacks from the sideline, police escorts and being locked into the boot of a car. This could be the injection of glamour refereeing needs to entice more people into it.

We ALL got our pictures taken with the legendary Brian.

“Thanks for the photo ref.”

“My pleasure.”

:clap:

The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

Easy now Tiger…

It was a wonderful score. I still think though the point Kilkenny worked from the endline in 93 to force a replay against Wexford was better because of the extreme pressure involved. [quote=“sid waddell, post: 593800”]

I have to say the praise for KK over yesterday has been completely OTT.

Tipperary didn’t perform at all. Kilkenny basically gave a great show of heart and determination, not to mention guts but they basically mullocked their way to victory.
The 2 goals were well worked and finished but the rest of their performance was just a few notches up on what the Clare team of the 90’s would have produced. 2008 it certainly wasn’t.

Can count on 1 hand the number of Tipp players who went well yet they still were in it with 10 mins to go. Fancied KK all week and knew it would take a 2006 performance which they got.

YEEESSS
FUCKING YEEESSS

:lol: :clap:
