How pathetic from Liam Sheedy to blame the loss because of a Munster ref. There were clearly issues within his own control that he ought to address first.

He never said anything of the sort. That's pathetic of you.

Can you explain the point of this statement?

Pay no heed, some rival fans think it’s a great barometer to hold Tipp to. As soon as we win 2, the real test will be 3 in a row, most other counties struggle to even win 1.

The almighty limerick team couldn’t do it last year yet the narrative was they got ‘caught’. But when Tipp get narrowly bet by a good team it’s “look look told ya told ya, theyre ****e’

It’s going to be extremely difficult fir anyone to do back to back for the next couple of years and as a Tipp man I’m ok with that. A competitive hurling championship is excellent to watch. As long as we’re competitive in it.

Also I should add...congrats to Galway today and I hope ye go on and win it. Very admirable team.

I'd love to see Waterford win it. But I would have no problem with Galway winning it either. It's a class Galway side.

A tiny extract from his interview - Sheedy, who raised questions about the lead-up to Aidan Harte’s late goal for Galway as well as the first yellow card issued to Cathal Barrett before he was sent off in the 53rd minute, believed the referee should have been a Leinster one.

I respectfully suggest you read his interview. It surprised and disappointed most people on Irish Examiner Facebook.

Anyway, we'll leave it at that and let ye enjoy your build up to the Final tomorrow. Good luck in it.

Like true champions lads, ye went down fighting. Can't ask for any more than that.

Cracking game we were fortunate to come out on top of. For some reason we always bring out the best in each other and rarely more than one score between the sides. A good rivalry. The only downside was none of us were in the stadium to watch it

Tipp appeared in 6 finals (7 including a replay) since 2009 and won 3 of those while coming to a whisker away from winning in 14. They've been incredibly consistent and a group of players that will be remembered very fondly by anyone who knows the game. Cheap journalists and barstoolers can f-off.

At the moment we have 5/6 teams capable of winning an All Ireland. Nothing was said about Galway's failure to retain Liam McCarthy, or Limericks or Clare's, but Its a stick continously used to beat Tipp with. Would that Kilkenny team do 4 in a row at this present moment in time with the standard that hurling has risen to? It would be considerably more difficult thats for sure.

I wont lie, i was absolutely gutted we lost today and feel we were our own worst enemy at times, but in truth, that performance against Limerick told us we need to badly start rebuilding. We simply need to start bringing more to the table. We are in a good place, but really need to start driving on.

“It’s not sour grapes in any shape or form and I do not want to take away from Galway but I do think a little bit of understanding and not trying to compromise people and put them in positions where various counties are still left in the championship it just makes things a little bit trickier. I want to be very clear - the best team won on the day, Galway deserved to win through to the All-Ireland semi-final."

Thanks. Enjoy the champioship.

Also to add to that, some of the hurling played by those Tipp hurlers and, in particular, the goals scored, were spectacular. Really imaginative, sublime hurling. And that quality matters too. It captures kids' imaginations and keeps kids playing the sport. I don't know what Carroll and Plunkett were on about the other day but I've lost count of people from other counties telling me they love watching Tipp. And they'll be back - Bubbles included - they've got one more year in them at least. I don't think we need to start rebuilding but Dillon Quirke, Cadell, Quigley, Connors, and a few others, Bowe, Seymour will hopefully push on.

Even Father Time is catching up on Brendan a bit although to be fair to Brendan, he's hurled an awful lot this past year between club and county. We badly need to start blooding more players and they really need to start stepping up. Its tougher on a youth player now because you are going up against the likes of big Dan Morrissey, Gearoid Mcinerney. Some giants really. I think Seymour, Cadell, Byrne, Connolly, Brian Mcgrath, Bowe, Ormonde need to be given the league. Jake has shipped alot of stick today but in all truth, i think we need to be getting much better ball into those lads.

That said, I seen a split second of coverage from behind the goal last week for Waterford against Limerick and the constant movement of Seamus Flanagan and Gillane around that forty. How on earth would you mark that? That's the level we are up against. 2 years ago, Flanagan brought Daithi Burke on a tour of Croke Park. since Lar Corbett retired, we've maybe lacked that player who can roam freely and drag his marker all over the shop

kilkennyboy

Thought ye were in control of the game up to the red card.And if ye had got back to croke park would have been difficult to stop as i think ye were improving. Strange year probably didn't suit defending champions
Stop start nature and club crossover. Plenty hurlers in tipp no fear of ye
And Cahill getting a valuable apprenticeship in Waterford. I know he told
The u21 lads last year he was looking forward to winning a senior with them.

Mantis Toboggan

Down to the last 6 in the football, I'll take that

farmerval

Yesterday was a funny game, we didn't have to do a lot to go six clear and Galway didn't do a lot to cut it back to 2 points before the red card.

At times early on some of our old warriors looked old, slow to move, slow to think. The greatest thing from 2020 was that brilliant players for us, Paidi, Brendan, Noel, Seamie, all the ones that played in 2008 and 2009 got their third All Ireland medals, so richly deserved for they are Giants of the game.

However now's the time to look forward and build in the superb underage players of the last five years.

We need to be looking at a new spine of the team, Ronan will be at 3 or 6 for the foreseeable, Barry Heffernan has proved he's good enough. we really need someone to tie down at least one midfield spot and find a centre forward. Billy McCarty's injuries may be robbing us of an outstanding prospect.

We appear to have a good few wing players such as the Flynn's etc but we need the spine first.

Barry Heffernan is showing himself as a really good marker particularly of a half forward that's dropping deep. Heffernan has no issue with popping up for a score when he's up the field.

Yes, you're right. I will pay no heed to it. It's a trolling attempt and I nearly took the bait. I was going to educate that particular poster with a history lesson and facts but it's really not worth my time. Best thing to do is block that troll and ignore them.

Brilliant analysis by you both.

O'Riordan starts, will be interesting to see how he goes.

Come on Tipp!

Lads, just wondering O'Riordan's club is down as Killea, taught he played with JK Brackens before going down under

Brackens yes but is he from Killea?

I wouldn't be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Or, in this case, the babies in with the bathwater. I don't think Sheedy will either. He is quite conservative. It's very hard to break into panel and team - you really have to prove yourself. Dillon Quirke looked very strong in the league and didn't get much game time. Sheedy always favours experience. That's why his relationship with O'Shea works - complete opposites. O'Shea is more likely to experiment. I think O'Shea got his way for that first game in terms of selection - and Sheedy reverted to type then.

Saying the team needs a new spine is over the top in my estimation. That will happen naturally in about a year to two years I'd say.

The summer isn't very far away. Hopefully Bubbles is back motoring. His loss yesterday cannot be over estimated. Has been crucial against Galway before.
People have talked Limerick up as a template here but they have yet to prove they are the template inmy opinion. They may well do and they're best placed to do so but it hasn't happened yet.

GO ON TIPP. GO ON THE FOOTBALLERS. really hope they do it. Only wish I was there to see it.

formerlyET

I'll be buying that Power cap anyway. FACT. GO ON TIPP.

Ompala

Hurling talk can wait, for now it's all about the Footballers, hon Tipp!

formerlyET

Quinvilan with a precision pass - lovely timing. Need that kind of ambition and creativity today. Follows it up with a fantastic point from the sideline - makes it look effortless.

formerlyET

O'Riordan kicking style has changed for obvious reasons. It's very effective. Class player.

Chalk McHugh

Brilliant first half from Tipp.

Fair f*cks to ye lads, seeing what it means to the Tipp coaches and players is a beautiful testament to the elation that this sport can bring to you, despite constant groans about football. 85 years of hurt no more. What's rare is wonderful as they say. Enjoy it!

Not the semi-final ye would have expected a few weeks ago. Sterling display.

Well done lads. Great win.

Gonna be a good semi final.

Delighted for all ye Tipp lads on here. It's a fantastic achievement. And on the Bloody Sunday Anniversary you couldn't make it up. On the phone to my Tipp parents and their very emotional but so proud. Brilliant stuff. Hon Tipp !

But we are waiting............

Congratulations Tipp from a nervous Cavanman
All going well we will see ye in the final.

2018 qualifier game vs Mayo showed we should have no fear of them.

On top for 2/3 of that game before a massive slice of luck with their goal and we imploded. Fair play to them for putting us to the sword too.

Let's enjoy this but the focus should very much be on the Mayo match now as we are capable of beating them too.

formerlyET

The best thing about this performance was that they outplayed and outsmarted Cork - should have won by more. Not a fluke last minute goal. Just beat them man on man and won deservedly.

chinguetti

Well done Tipp, great performance and keep them jerseys while ye're at it.

from a Clare man, so thrilled for Tipp, you just couldn't write the script, one hundred years after that fateful day and your county wearing those same jerseys, surely going to be the biggest selling Gaa shirt into the future

Congrats lads - love seeing underage work pay off and delighted for David Power for the trojan amount of work that he has put into Tipperary football.

Jersey available from O Neills and Elverys from December 4th according to the match day programme

O'Riordan treasures the jersey. Couldn't have a better representative.
