Replying To Premier28: "Id love to see your posts when Tipp win their 29th this year putting us 22 ahead of Wexford and 17 ahead of Limerick" If Tipp win this year I'll congratulate my friends up there. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15855 - 19/06/2023 21:07:56 2487621 Link
Replying To Premier28: "what happened in 2010 and 2019 Oldtourman Big wins there for Tipp on those occasions It was a pity Limerick didnt make the final or it could have been a similar beating to the last one we gave ye in Croke Park" Like the Munster final in 2019 so? Oh wait.... Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15855 - 19/06/2023 21:09:35 2487622 Link
Replying To Premier28: "Hi Kildare its not arrogance its just that Tipp people know that our championship only started this weekend" No championship games for ye the last 2 years so? And you lost that last one to Waterford. And you only had 1 at this stage in 2020 and lost it. So by your own reckoning you have actually only played 2 championship games in the 4 years since you won your last AI, and lost them both. Hardly greatness lad.

Replying To tiobraid: "3 in 14 seasons is something most counties would bit your hand off for Viking. I feel we had the winning of it in 2014 but ultimately we played in 7 finals in 14 seasons (incl replay) and won 3, lost 3 and drew 1. By Tipp standards in my lifetime anyway - thats nothing to be sneezed at" Good point Tiobraid, your contributions are always fair and balanced. and thank you most sincerely for never belittling any other sides achievements including those of my county. I have no problem saying the Tipp team from 58 to 68 were a very good side, but the best ever team so far has to be the KK side from about 1906 to '12. I recall that as a 15 year old in that September day in '65 when Tipp easily beat Wexford, one would have never thought that they would win only one All Ireland in the next 24 years. They had absolutely dominated the Hurling landscape of our youth, or so it seemed, but it goes to show that nobody can predict who is going to be dominant in future years.

Ye only beat fourteen men in '19 when the Actor got that decent man from KK put off. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4495 - 19/06/2023 21:33:18 2487630 Link
Replying To Premier28: "Oldtourman if this present Limerick team were up against that great Tipperary team of the 60's they wouldnt come out in the second half as it would have been similar to the Offaly game the weekend gone by" Considering the number of times ye have fallen in your backsides to bad Limerick sides when ten to fifteen points ahead I would be more reticent before jumping to them conclusions. Apparently Tipp Managers over the past forty years have often put their sides on dog walking programmes in order to try to teach them how to hold to a lead when playing Limerick. You should also note that LK hurled them off the field in '66 when a young side beat your much vaunted side by nine points. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4495 - 19/06/2023 21:42:01 2487631 Link

Replying To LimerickandProud: "And If God is good, it could be over for the Tipp crowd next weekend" And if God is great Limerick will be out by 7pm on the 8th July!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 19/06/2023 21:56:03 2487635 Link
Replying To daveboy: "Pity when threads like these get hijacked." Highjacked? What are you on about? By far, the most comments on here are from Limerick people, compared to any other county. Maybe you should look a bit closer to home when you start spouting nonsense about 'highjacked'. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2783 - 19/06/2023 21:59:09 2487637 Link
Replying To LimerickandProud: "And If God is good, it could be over for the Tipp crowd next weekend" Why would you Limerick crowd be concerned about 'God', when you've got JP? Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2783 - 19/06/2023 22:02:09 2487639 Link
Wonder what Kiely will do with Hannon out, hopefully its nothing do serious. I was thinking its a loss to us putting Hayes in there. He is possibly the most athletic player in the game and will drive up and down that line at half forward all game long and never seems to tire. I thought Alan Tynan had a good engine but seeing his condition exhausted coming off after doing a good job at least curtailing Hayes while Hayes was still motoring just goes to show he fit he is. If he has to sit in the centre where he can't leave the centre of defence exposed we lose a lot of that athleticism even though he would do a fine job there. Morrisey out to centre back might be the best option even though he has been rock solid at full back and an unsung hero. I think this is what will happen. Defensively we should be fine but we would be sacrificing creativity if we lined out that way but if Cian Lynch was back and even 90% fit we would balance the books to a large extent. The most exciting but risky option would be playing Nash there. He would have all the attributes for a play making centre back and could probably chip in with a couple of points but having not played there would he have the positional sense and reading of the game to hold the middle. I don't think they would take that risk in a semi final. Fitzy01 (Limerick) - Posts: 438 - 20/06/2023 09:31:22 2487665 Link

Having said that, of course Hannon is a huge loss, especially with Finn already out. midlands (Westmeath) - Posts: 604 - 20/06/2023 09:48:29 2487676 Link
Replying To Ryanteam: "At least Roscommon are not likely to moan and groan about the trip to Leeside." It's a home game for Cork. A bit different than having Cork host four other counties in the least handiest spot for any of them! I prefer Limerick and a double header despite whatever perceived advantage to Clare although Thurles would have been preferable for obvious reasons. Having one of the games in PUC on its own would have made no sense. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3558 - 20/06/2023 09:49:42 2487677 Link
Ridiculous statement in fairness. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3558 - 20/06/2023 09:50:43 2487678 Link
You're a disgrace and no better than that man in Carrick. Lee Chin has been very open about the abuse he and his family have received for many years within the bounds of your own county. I can safely say that you're every bit as bad as that man with your labelling of a full county with a horrible statement like that https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/hed-walk-down-the-street-and-something-could-be-said-to-him-wexford-star-lee-chin-on-the-racism-his-father-faces/35451692.html tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 20/06/2023 10:25:46 2487694 Link
Tickets for stands for Limerick sold out. Seems unlikely. Thank God for the Parnell Pass i think. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3558 - 20/06/2023 10:27:31 2487696 Link

I thought Hayes was excellent when moved to 6 but still felt it became obvious immediately when Hannon went off as Davy Fitz got on the world of ball after Hayes moved off him. Personally I think we will see Dan M at 6 and English coming in at 2 but there are certainly a few options. Nash would be a real interesting one. Superb player in every aspect but as you said it might be a risk Kiely wont want to take tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 20/06/2023 10:29:17 2487698 Link
This has left a real sour taste and 3 thumbs up along with it. What kind of a country are we living in? What a bunch of horrible people. I'm all for slagging and rivalry but racism or labelling people based on where they are from is the lowest of the low tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 20/06/2023 10:32:29 2487701 Link
Went on the website at 9.45 this am. Queued for 10 mins. Asked for best available tickets. Got 2 terrace tickets. How does one get stand tickets? are they for general sale at all? SixtiesKid (Galway) - Posts: 343 - 20/06/2023 10:36:18 2487706 Link
