Yes, there is definitely still favoritism going on in selecting Tipp teams even the senior team/panel.

Could you elaborate on that sterling10.

sterling10

Declan and Tommy Dunne, there as a bit of favoritism for Clonoulty and Toome lads. e.g David Young and John O'Keefe even John O'Neill. NOw you have James Barry from Upperchurch, loads of Kilruane lads in and the Managers nephew from a Junior B club.
So yeah, I feel there is favoritism still going on in Tipp GAA. Underage its more blatant and you'd a have a list as long as you want with examples.

Still asymmetric in design but a considerable difference in design i feel.

Actually like it and i suppose to be fair they differentiated it a bit unlike Dublin and Kilkenny's recent efforts.

I liked that Dublin design from 10-12 but i think its an insult to supporters to expect them to fork out €60-70 for what is essentially an old design which has been tweaked ever ever ever so slightly. Feel Kilkenny are a bit guilty of this too in recent years.

Anyway hopefully the new look on our boys will give them a fresh impetus. Looking back at at the outgoing effort ill always associate it with failure and what could have been in terms of senior hurling but from the minor (hurling and football) plus intermediate point of view we've done really well

To be fair to the designers, there's only so much you can do with a kk jersey that must have black/amber stripes-a bit like the Newcastle United one. Same with our one. I really liked our one from 09-10. I suppose the fact we won helps too:D thank god we're not Kildare eh?

I have to concur with you on the price of the jerseys. I can see why Man United, Real Madrid tops are that price, because of the payments that Nike/Adidas have to fork out. They're also professional clubs who've to generate a profit.But given that we've an 'amateur' sport and I can't imagine o Neills or azurri have to make similar payments 60-70 is taking the p1ss I think.

Actually, just outa curiosity how does the gear manufacture thing work? Is it similar to the soccer where the dubs for example can command a higher fee than Leitrim? Or does it all go into a central fund?

There was a proposal to put it into a pot due to the imbalance but as it stands all county boards negotiate their own deal.
I can see it from a sponsors point of view that if you pay 1m for Dublin to carry your logo then you might be a bit pissed off if some of that money has to go back to the GAA but the sponsorship issue is creating imbalance and i think they need to address it albeit some other way.

I think you probably could make one or two tweaks to the Kilkenny jersey. If you can make noticeable changes to a hull city jersey for example then Kilkenny shouldnt be any different. Same with Kildare. If you can change Real Madrid year on year then Kildare shouldnt be a problem.

He scored 5 points in the County quarter final v Eire Og . He played Junior for his Club in Tyrone , which would be a decent standard compared to Junior locally . He`s a welcome addition , Barry Grogan has gone of the boil and Michael Quinlivan didn`t have a great year , but he is young . Along with Philly Austin , Philip Quirke and Alan Maloney who were all injured last year , it is great to have someone who has proven himself at underage level , hopefully with the young lads coming through we can get promoted this year and push on .

Just saw this on Twitter from Tipp Supporters Club account:

Tipperary will play Laois in a senior hurling challenge at 2pm, Sat Dec 7th, in The Ragg. All funds raised in aid of Inch National School

It'll be something to stave off the withdrawal symptoms for the Tipperary hurling boardsies!

ReacherCreature

I asked the same account about tippspur's post about the challenge match in Clonmel between Tipperary and Wexford and that's going ahead too. Clonmel Sportsfield at 2pm, Saturday 14th!

Today the the death is recorded of Liam O'Connor, an Offaly footballer who was on the team that kept Kerry from winning a five in a row . Ar Dheis Dei go raibh a anamal dhilis.

So without being too morbid about it............Tipperary players who were on the panel of 2010 who stopped Kilkenny from achieving a five in a row can expect this fact to be part of their obituary. So lads get to terms with your obituaries get to terms with your own deaths. And in the meantime live your lives to the full, many of you are capable to bringing so much more to the game we love so well.

Anyone attend challenge in the ragg today? Heard a very experimental side lined out be good to hear how some faired!

Teams go back training and playing friendlies based on when they exited the championship. Only all Ireland finalists are not allowed play before January

Ah I understand now..

I thought it was a good effort from both sets of players considering the conditions,after all the fine weather recently it was a pity it turned crappy for the game,thought the bonner was in good form, he got stuck in,Tom Kenny and David Collins done well also.

Clonmel1000

Tom Kenny = Conor Kenny I take it

Maybe I missed this, but I am sure that many people would wish to congratulate the winners on their achievement.

Munster Awards 2013.

Loughmore Castleiney have been named Munster Senior Club of the Year folowing their exploits in winning the hurling and football double in The Premier county.

Intermediate Hurling – Darragh Egan (Tipperary)

Media Award – Paddy Finucane (Tipperary)

ReacherCreature

Congrats to Loughmore. It's an incredible achivement.

Also congrats to Darragh Egan. Wasn't he on the Tipp panel a few years back as goalkeeper/outfield player? I remember some discussion about him, that if he dropped some weight he could feature on the Tipperary team again.

Xenophile

Thank you for your Trojan work throughout the year. It's greatly appreciated by me.

Observation:

I think you should always keep your thread in the Tipperary Forum

Suggestion:

I would like to see a historical record here so that fans and supporters could peruse as many years as possible on the same thread.

If you think that this would be a good idea I am sure a Moderator would be able to facilitate you!


Go raibh maith agat aris.

Any word on Woodlock, do ye think there is a starting palce for him next year? He's one player I would like to see more of.
