Bruce never feared Tipp.
It shows how shit Limerick’s mentality is that when they give reasons why they’ll beat Tipp that the main reason is that Tipp supposedly have windy forwards, its like they’ve accepted that they have a worse team before the game has even started
Eh, that was actually reason number 4, keep up.
I can sense the giddiness starting to ratchet up a notch. Mighty mighty mighty.
I don’t know why, but every year, whether justified or not, that optimism that this is going to be THE year just creeps in and takes over— It’s usually followed by an almighty crash back down to earth but fuck it, we will ride that wave of optimism like no one else…
We will bury the cunts!!!

I love the eternal optimism of limerick supporters. I am the opposite with Galway. I always think we are going to lose. *
*I’m usually right.
Like or not, Tipperary will always expect to beat Limerick. It’s the natural order.
And we always expect to send the tinfoil and Tanaora brigade home beaten so aint we both content.
Tanaora?
Tipp have by far the better players, but this Tipp setup is hugely lacking in confidence and are one defeat away from total collapse.
Probably wont be Limerick who delivers it though, and a win and they will head into a Munster final where the pressure is off (losers go to Q-final). But you never know, rem '96 MF where Tipp were clearly the better team but shat their pants every time the ball went into the parallelogram…I think it will take something similar. Dowling to go completely wild in at FF or some such, very unlikely with Maher, Cahill and Barrett in the house
As Denis Walsh once said,
[I]"Tipperary have never had it easy. They’ve never made it easy for themselves. By an accident of geography they share a border with eight hurling counties (Cork, Clare, Galway, Waterford, Limerick, Kilkenny, Offaly and Laois) and by an accident of nature they have never considered themselves inferior to any of their neighbours. Parity of esteem was the most they ever allowed; Cork have enjoyed most of it, Kilkenny some. For which blessing, they give eternal thanks. "

It’s no accident that “they share a border with eight hurling counties”. Seeing as that Thurles is the home of the GAA and more importantly hurling, it’s not surprising that hurling became popular in every county immediately surrounding Tipp. It became the de-facto sport in those counties by proxy.
And I don’t say that lightly as a Limerician.

You seem to think hurling was invented in 1884 in Hayes Hotel.
Allegedly the reason hurling is prominent in those counties is that they have the best land in the country. In the 18th century Hurling was a game played between the workers of large estates as a hobby for the gentry. It also required large spaces to be played initially as it was a game played over many miles. Not so easy in uphill areas or through forests etc. It hasn’t managed to spread much beyond that.
So the reason Tipperary is surrounded by hurling counties is that its in the middle of the best of the farmland rather than your twisted logic.
The below map is a bit simplistic but it holds true largely. Beyond Newcastle in Limerick for example there is fuck all good land and fuck all hurling.
The glaring omission is Dublin, but it is largely due to the migration of culchies that the game has risen to its prominent position there.

When was football invented? And when will it be transported from Thurles to Kilkenny?

However Meath, Westmeath & Kildare dont support the good land theory
