Official All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final 2009 Thread: KK vs Tipp

We won’t sweat the little things buddy.

There is and always will be a massive asterisks beside the 2009 All Ireland.

Kilkenny resorted to the lowest of the low to win that game

What, scoring their goal chances? The dirty bastards…

Too many steps but you completely ignore the penalty decision as if it never happened

Christmas time is meant to be about tradition. So how heartening must it be to see the ‘bad losers and worse winners’ shibboleth receive such reinvigoration? Hats off, so to speak – hats off, if only to see a little better. The balaclavas of bitterness can cause quite a squint.

Gas part is that no middle-aged person (unless he or she lives way beyond ripeness) will ever see Tipperary again level with Kilkenny on the Senior roster. Probably not even if such individuals make the ton. Is it not as if a hurling version of climate change turned verdant meadows into scrubland, while the neighbours’ ground grew unfathomably lush, not miles away? Looking over that boundary fence must be to wish for a saving blindness, a refusal of light.

For any middle-aged person – anyone around the half ton mark, say – there is likewise the lifetime tally of 21 to 6. The hind tit perspective promises milk and honey from cows and bees long gone before Junior Premier was a zygote. History’s hind tit is a vampiric yoke, because no amount of feeding subsequently suffices. You can tell by how oddly flushed and pale they are at the one and same time, the flecking and the frothing, the terrible democracy of spittle.

:laughing: Yes, because the 15 steps render what happens afterwards irrelevant

The greatest Tipperary hurling obsessive of them all is back. Ah lovely

No it doesn’t really.

Calm down, mate.

He’ll be trawling through PV as we speak looking for comments to put up on his Twitter

Fuck up, you.

Nine years on and they’re still not over it.

Not over what though? A definite penalty!

:laughing: You’re making some fool of yourself. You can take a million steps if you want as long as you’re fouled at the end of it

Amazing isn’t it. The damage we have inflicted on their psyche over the last 10 years is incredible.
We’re not even that bothered about losing in 2010 and 2016 :laughing:

If Tipp had won in 2009 they wouldn’t have won in 2010 anyway so its a bit irrelevant overall. That doesn’t change the fact that the penalty decision in 09 was terrible and completely changed the game

Nearly 10 years have past and we still have them hopping like sausages on a hot pan… you couldn’t make it up

If kilkenny had a full team in 2010 tipp wouldn’t have won. The deciding factor. You looked at a clip of a head high challenge in the box and called it a phantom penalty :smile: you still think it was! You have been destroyed, a very easy victory
