Kilkenny had won AIF in 1909, 1913 and 1922. Lost in 1916, 1937, 1945, 1950, 1958 (AI semi final), 1964, 1971 and 1991. Won in 1967.
Ah come on, Clare played some scintillating stuff and were involved in great matches. Streets ahead of tipp 2019.

âExample of tipp lowering the blade ⌠But tipp never lowered the bladeâ 
Youâre coming out with some absolute crackers today!
Iâd like to add that if Limerick had been awarded a few points for no reason in a number of matches theyâd definitely have won.
Look, anyone that know anything knows that 2013 was brutal standard.
The biggest game of the year was when Kilkenny beat Tipp to stop them winning the all-Ireland, Kilkennyâs hay was saved then.
The biggest games of the year were the all Ireland final and replay. No one cares about a qualifier between also rans.
I really think that Clare win was a great win. They can only beat whatâs in front of them. A young team, an unconventional style, a brilliant story all round. It was a great win really.
Kilkenny were running on fumes at that stage. The qualifier draw that everyone wanted and the fans in Nowlan Park that night lapped up every minute of it. I think most of the people in Kilkenny knew that the team didnât have an all-Ireland in them but the prospect of a knock-out qualifier on a sunny Saturday evening against their fiercest rivals was massive. It wasnât about trying to stop Tipp winning an all-Ireland, it was just about batinâ them

Tipperary v Kilkenny was the game in the 2013 Championship.
Likewise Tipp v Kilkenny was the game in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014.
Tipp v Galway was the game in 2015, 2016 and 2017 while it was Tipp v Wexford in 2019.
Outside of 2012 and 2018, Tipperary were always involved in the game, every year from 2009 to 2019.
Considering the All Ireland final massacre of 2008, you could also argue that the Tipp v Clare Munster Final (or perhaps even Tippâs historic win away to Cork) for game of the championship that year.
For completenes, Galway v Kilkenny (Draw) was the game in 2012 while in 2018 it was Cork v Limerick (when Cork were coasting to victory and the official gave Limerick about six sympathy frees in a row to make it respectable but it ended up being a sick joke going badly wrong)
Your bitterness warms the cockles of my heart

Is there anything inaccurate in what I said?
Limerick were the âpoor underdogâ at the time so little was said, but it was absolutely hilarious what went on.
It exceeded even the refereeâs wildest expectations what transpired.
Cork v Clare was the game of 2013
KK v Limerick was the game of 2019

Galway v Kilkenny (Leinster Final) was the game in 2012
when lads are left talking about which was the best game in a championship over a decade ago, you know theyâre fucked

We are not talking about the best game, we are talking about the game.
Thereâs a difference, and those who know, know.
Donât worry, I wouldnât expect @thelimericks to understand anyway.
The Tipp lads are trying very hard to make the week of the all-Ireland final (that theyâre not involved in) all about them
