The Tipperary GAA Discussion Thread

Yes, that's the Tipp league games alright. I hear one of the golden boys is gone into the senior panel.

Tipp senior.

There's always something else on! Be grand says you

Thanks sorry asking so late.

Jeez too true major family birthday but we'll work it out..

I've had babies when Tipp have been in the All Ireland and we managed 😊

Yeah would say they'll be a bit pished alright.

Should be Croker but crowd wouldn't be prob big enough in Feb so they are trying it on.

Thanks again.

I'm hearing at least three Kiladangan lads called up to the Tipp panel.

Is there gripe though? It was just comments from 1 player when emotions were running high just after a county final. Could have been used as motivation but almost artificial stuff. Looks a 50/50 game on Sunday would be slightly favouring Kiladangan and Ballygunner but neither are sure things.

There's only 16 senior teams, how many do you want?

Didn't see the game , but talking to someone at it . He said one sending was totally brainless, the other was a total mystery. It happened in front of him and people didn't even see a free let alone a sending off . Johnny Murphy was assisting so that probably has something to do with it. There's not too many senior teams in tipp and the whole championship is set up for teams like Kiladangan with a match every second weekend. Great effort by them all the same

Really dangerous and stupid thing to do from Dan O’Meara - scandalous. And just no need. No justification for that whatsoever. He didn’t get hit or anything. Just can’t understand a stroke like that. A loose stroke like Hayes can happen in the heat of battle and you’re always walking a fine line but Jesus what was O’Meara thinking. Clearly, he wasn’t thinking.

Number of teams is not an is an issue.

For many it will be their only chance to display their talents on National TV.

Teach that discipline is more important than skill.

A super club doesn't always do much or anything for an inter county side or a championship. Plenty of evidence of that in Waterford and Galway. It can even cause friction at inter county level - the last eight years of Ballyhale's success created a standard of tactics and play that Cody couldn't replicate and that caused rumblings in Ballyhale (that's still going on - given TJ's statement circa the club semi with Cody's crowd - and going back to the Fennelly biz and the Henry handshake). Something similar has happened with Ballygunner and Waterford (not a happy dressing room - and some ballygunner players just opted out - happier with Ballygunner.) Galway have had amazing clubs going back a long ways that coincided with Galway being unable to get over the line. There some particularly septic club rivalries in the galway championship that did nothing for the Galway dressing room. Ditto Wateford. Likewise in Tipp, when Toome were eating everyone alive in the county, their standards were often higher than Tipp's, leading to some very frustrated Toome players.

It was a good year for the club championship in Tipp. Very entertaining championship. But that will be a sore one for Kiladangan. Did the hard work in the first half - came through in a good position after Clonlara had a very strong wind but discipline left them down. Were legless in injury time after playing so long with 13. Only themselves to blame.

Clonlara's biggest weaknesses, from what I've seen, are on the line and in the goals - which is arguably Ballygunner's greatest assets. I think it will be a step too far for Clonlara. Kiladangan would be no match for Ballygunner either. But Ballygunner could underestimate Clonlara and get caught. It happens.

Nice tribute https://x.com/officialgaa/status/1726986325981630661?s=20
