TJ is a good man.

Harnedy cant anymore. He is playing injured. Dalton does and when he went off against Tipp, we could not win any ball as we had no grafters. We did not replace like with like.
He was in digs with Dwight Yorke.

Thatâs my point ye have them but they arenât as good as whatâs in other counties for the working and dirty ball winning. Aidan walsh again comes in or Timmy Mahoney. Theyâll all graft but the knack of lifting a ball from a ruck etc isnât there.
Luke Meade is actually a lovely hurler who has a knack of coming away with a ball and youâve no idea how.
And he always comes in with a spotless kit. The kitman doesnât even wash it Iâd say
Id be playing Tim O Mahony in forwards.

He certainly isnât a centre back.
A kind of a hegarty/hayes role

You really couldnât be listening to that cunt Woodward.
In fairness, they brought joy to many homes round the country by being beat.
You can outrage all you want, but this, as Rafa might say, is fact.
The 06-09â team beat 3 in a row chasing Cork and an emerging Tipp team. They lost in the semi-finals in 05â. They were fearsome team, hammering everyone in sight. There wasnât the same fear factor around the 11â and 12â team. They didnât dish out as many hidings.
They were blessed to beat tipp in 09 and beat Waterford/limerick in the other finals.
Canât build a house without planning permission ,loan approval. Youâll learn all this in time when you get some sort of a job .

In hindsight the opponents werenât of the same quality as 2011 and 2012 but Jesus they were a frightening team in their pomp. They absolutely destroyed Wexford and Waterford in the Leinster and All-Ireland finals in 2008.
Itâs An interesting debate for me anyway. I heard somebody say Kilkenny were already in decline in 2012. I donât really agree.
There seemed very little hope of anyone else winning the All-Ireland until Tipp produced that impressive display 2009 AI final. Kilkenny were possibly even slight underdogs going in against Tipp in 2011. Dublin hammered KK in the 2011 League final and Galway beat them out the gate in the 2012 Leinster final. The fear factor wasnât as strong but they were still a class team.
That template certainly works for Tipperary. Oh wait.

Motm in an AI too. He was a fine hurler.
Gas that lads are trying to undervalue Timmy & Niall but when lads tried putting their Hurling Fantasy teams together very few picked neither in their 15.
Donât be a sad cunt patting yourself on the back, that is â sad â internetting.
3 All Irelandâs in 10 years wasnt bad

Niall Mac was a serious player. Timmy was limited to be fair, but Cork would kill for him now. Some grafter.

Timmy Mac would have zero impact today. His game was totally reliant in exposing unfit fat lads who played back them with his superior pace. He was anything but a âdogâ. For a big man he hadnt a physical bone in his body. Didnt want to know when it came to contesting puckouts and the like. Had Shane OâDonnell like point scoring ability, could totally miss hit ball just as much as score. Effective for his time but God he was limited outside of his pace.
