I actually think Limerick will be quite handy this year. I think thil put it up to Waterford but cant see them beating em. And if they were to beat Waterford, i wouldnt be able to see them beat Tipp in the final, who i think will beat Clare easily.

He lost the ball at around 56 minutes and Corbett stuck it over the bar to swing the momentum back to Tipp
I find myself wondering about the 23 points thing. Surely if Tipp are as serious as theyâre being built up then conceding 23 points to a team in transition isnât good. Or are Cork better than everyones giving them credit for.
Repeat of the '96 Final is on B)
The pitch was heavily sanded for some reason. Lar Pender was practicing sidelines in front of me before the start and every one lifted a chunk of sand out of the ground. What did you think of the game Appendage?
Tipp lost to Cork last year by 10 points and conceded 3-15 , and yet went on to win the All Ireland.
the defence wasnt great today but sure they won and thats all that matters to Tipp

Yes winning the Division 2 title was a big result for Limerick. Do you think theyâd have been happy if they lost it?
The following Tipp players are nothing special
Cummins
Stapleton
Curran
Young
O Keeffe
Ryan
Callinan
Maher
O Brien
Most of them wouldnât make the Kilkenny subs
:rolleyes:
That was last year FFS
and?

Tipp are mediocre. Right. Do name me some non-mediocre teams Fagan.
but winning a Division 2 title against Clare matters fuck all when it comeâs to championship.
Cummins - one of the best goalies ever to play the game.
Stapleton - had a poor game today, but he usual is a brilliant corner back. ask any knowledgable hurling fan and they will tell you how good he is.
Curran - has given great service to Tipp and is a solid as a rock.ask any knowledgable hurling fan and they will tell you how good he is.
Young - i think he is too slow for inter county hurling and dont think hil start at the business end of the championship. still his a good sub to bring in
OâKeefe - how can you judge OâKeefe after youv probely only seen him hurl for the 1st time today? taught he did alright on Ben OâConnor. he was a standout player in the fitzgibbon championship. one for the futher.
Ryan - this lad is very under rated hurling. does a serious amount of work for his team and great to take a score. should be playing wing forward but is midfield due to Bredan Mahers injury.
Callinan- wins fuck all ball but there are few better in the game than him to take a score. got man of the match today from the RTE panel.
Maher - Bonnar Maher is the essential player to his tipp team. if you ever seen him play then you would reliase the amount of blocking, hassling and hooking he does. he was brilliant today, esp in the 1st half. should have gotten man of the match.
OâBrien - probaly Tipps least effective forward but still chips in with scores in most games.
now, you said that most of the above wouldnt even make the Kilkenny subs bench?? i honestly think your just wumming at this stage. otherwise, your clueless when it comes to hurling.

Apart from Cummins we seem to be in agreement that none of these 9 Tipp players are anything special.
I thought it was patchy like the pitch.
Got opened up a bit easily in the first half and the Antrim goal was sloppy and seemed to be ours to clear. Still there were some fine scores and Redmondâs goal was a cameo of what he can do when supporting the play.
I donât think we played to form today and still won easily. I wouldâve liked us to get another 5 or 6 points because we had the chances.
I think thereâs more in some of our lads and if we can produce it against KK in 2 weeks then thereâs a chance, although maybe slightly dependent on how many KK are missing. As FO(A)D cleverly pointed out, teams missing their better players are not as strong as the otherwise are.
Antrim were shit as expected. The Leinster championship has been good for them but they need to be in at underage also to make any real and consistent gains.
The bit on TV looked awful in fairness.
Bonnar Maher, Paddy Stapleton, Paul Curran and Ryan are all top class hurlers.
On their day, OâBrien and Callinan can do serious damage to any team and itâs too early yet to judge OâKeefe after just one game.
Kilkenny - the following are over rated as fuck
PJ Ryan
John Dalton
Cha
Tennyson
Reid
Richie Hogan
Fogarty
Will you ever fuck off with your crooked arguments.
Grand sure Tipp mightnât win 5 in a row but theyâre a decent team and look set to be at the top for a while based on their success at under age level.
Morons like you highlight debating the internet as the folly that it is. Youâre either a 24 carat plonker or a wum.
The KK subs showed what theyâre made of against the Duds a few weeks back.
Yes letâs judge Kilkenny on the basis of a league game
My 9 were:
Brian Hogan
James Ryall
Aidan Fogarty
Michael Rice
PJ Ryan
John Tennyson
John Dalton
Martin Comerford
John Mulhall
Using Faganâs standards they are nothing special
like your judging OâKeefe on his championship debut.
please fuck off this thread as you know nothing about hurling

Gentlemen if Tipp win the All Ireland this year come back to me. Personally I think they are too mediocre to do it.
ya, like they were too mediocre to win it last year.
SAS
Fagan, name me some teams that have won All-Irelands who by your standards were of a higher standard than mediocre. Iâd say youâll be scratching the head for a while.
