    Rubbish. We've been outnumbered by most hurling counties for years and years, that's simply a fact.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,259 ✭✭✭realdanbreen


    TBH putting in or not putting in a shift on Sunday is irrelevant. A meaningless fixture for tipp and will simply confirm our position as bottom of the pile in Munster. That's the reality folks it's now over to who ever can do something about it, the county board, to address the shitshow!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    Dan you posted saying fact with nothingvto back it up, just an observation you have a short memory. ,I posted a fact 4 big hurling counties brought 16k to thurles for ko hurling in 2016. This notion cork and limerick always bring great support is factually wrong,simple. We went deep into championships 2009_2019, and I never remember kikenny for example outnumbering us in croke park. Tbf kilkenny on the go long time. Tipp supporters were on the go for 10years. It's lean period at moment, all counties go through it that's fact whether you like it or not.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭PeggyShippen


    There's no way Limerick would ever be outnumbered in their home pitch by anyone and that's during the worst of times. There's some deep deep malaise in Tipperary supporters right now that neither Cork,Limerick or even Clare can even comprehend. Outnumbered 10 to or at the very best 8 to 1 in a knock out game at home ...And your pointing to a match in 2016...Come on man..take off the blinkers and let's really talk about Tipperary hurling.

    Its A fact 4counties managed 16k fans for ko game. Point is when limerick cork clare going poor, they also failed to show up. Its a fact, no debating it. I'm not denying tipp support was poor Sunday and it was more 4 to 1. Was 10k tipp at it.

    Sport makes eejits of us all. Hopefully Tipp bounce back with a good performance the next day.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    it’s wasn’t that bad. Being made worse in the media. There was at least 26 to 28 thousand Cork supporters from a pop of over half a million . There was around 16000 or more Tipp supporters there.
    we’ve never completed with cork attendance. Only Dublin do in football
    There was enough Tipp support there to fill Parnell twice over.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    House Private. No flowers.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    That’s nothing that hasn’t been said on this thread many times.
    But we are still nowhere near as bad as a lot of counties.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    Well, you certainly wouldn’t know either way. And I’d doubt if you are the real shocks either. The last I heard, he was still in Paul Curran’s pocket

    i dont no about that, Cork outnumbered us at least 4-1 so if there was even 10K Tipp supporters there would be a stretch.



  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭Banarol


    You know Tipp have hit rock bottom when you have messages of sympathy coming in from some opposing supporters.While they mean well it can come across as pity which is an insult in itself. While Cahill has been blamed on here by some, from supporters I’ve spoken to locally the consensus seems to be he just hasn’t got the players.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    Certainly wasn't that low. You're telling me that more supporters that go to Cork home games came to Thurles? Stop. Load of media hyperbole. 4-1 is not possible. That would mean over 35,000 supporters from Cork. Even if it was 2 to 1 - that would mean 30,000 Cork support and the rest Tipp. There's a lot of hyperbole around.



  • Registered Users Posts: 943 ✭✭✭Vinnie222


    I was at the game as a neutral with friends from Cork and it was all just a sea of red . It was like a home game to them .



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    were you at the game? Did you see the highlight’s on tv?
    It was a sea of red everywhere and the noise was all cork.
    Cork GAA fans are some of the best in the country, there right up there in fairness to them. Granted they have a big population





  • Ya I agree. I thought there was a very small Tipp crowd at it. Maybe people with different seats saw differently but reality is Cork far outnumbered home 'support' .

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭PeggyShippen


    Agreed. Limerick must be the best supported county bar none per head of population. Through the bad times they were still brilliantly supported. I remember 1995 Munster final and We (Clare) were outnumbered 4 to 1.. But even before that they were great and the city is mostly rugby but they do follow the hurling . I think they are more loyal than Cork support. My own county Clare has a core support of about 8,000 as Davy Fitz once said. I'd say that's accurate. But last Sunday..id say there was about 7,500 from Tipperary..that's being kind.

    U20s Friday, no paddy mc by looks of it. Cork be ravenous after us beating them handily in thurles. Cummins has them playing lovely mixed brand, some good lads to add to senior in coming years. Oisin o donnoghue type player we need and speedster senan butler. Minor/20s double be nice return.



  • Registered Users Posts: 108 ✭✭Knockdromin


    The numbers will reflect the general standard and prospects of the team. I distinctly remember turning up to the first league game Limerick game in 2019 down in Wexford and thinking “Where the fcuk were all you guys this time last year when not even two thousand turned out for our opening game at home to Laois?”

    The numbers that travel aren’t reflective of the supporters; it’s reflective of the overall state of the county team. Liam Cahill has had two years with this panel and as an outsider my main conclusion is to wonder what the hell he has been doing with them for the two years? He still doesn’t seem to know his best team and he doesn’t seem to have been able to impose an effective style on them. I don’t blame people for not feeling inspired to turn up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    Yes exactly my point. Facts show attendances at limerick,cork and clare games in early mid 2010s way down compared to now but people don't want to acknowledge that fact. People Just trying to have acut off tipp really.



  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭Banarol


    I suppose no one wants to go to a game where the feel there’s a high chance their team will lose.I was talking to someone that left with 15 minutes to go and he said he won’t be caught again. The last few year Tipp have practically done nothing in the championship.Do people feel the fans should turn up even though they know they’ll lose?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭PeggyShippen


    That's Exactly what good fans do. I did it for many years with Clare through many many hockeyings. We often got beat worse than Tipp ...occasionally by Tipperary. The only difference was we had no history of winning. Like Limerick went year after year after year.... theres no way they'd be outnumbered in the Gaelic Grounds in Championship ever..

  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭Banarol


    Fair enough. I didn’t go myself but I drove up through the town about 3.30, all I could see was Cork supporters walking on up, hardly any Tipp, a few here and there.Your right, the beating aside, it was embarrassing that so few turned up for a home game in Thurles on a beautiful summers day. It was like Cork were the home team and combined with the 18 point hammering, it’s probably the worst day in Tipps GAA history.Every cloud has a silver lining and now that they’ve reached rock bottom, major reshuffling should be on the cards.



  • Registered Users Posts: 17 Usrwastaken


    I 100% agree, I don’t know why the players get slated, they are capable of much better and have proven it before. Cahill is not the man in my eyes.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    He's some man if he turns this around. I can't see how. So many basic principles of shape, positioning, and spirit are missing. There's no logic to some of the types of players in the positions they're picked. The treatment of some players that are trying to develop is bizarre. If you're Connolly or Ryan or Connors, you must be scratching your head. Players are wiped and dismissed so easily.

    Take Tynan for instance. Wing forward for a few league game. Dropped. Back in again at wing forward. Then at midfield. Then suddenly against Cork he's trying to tag Barrett. You'd need a year to learn that role… you certainly don't try it for this first time in championship. He asked Caddell to do the same thing against Limerick in the league. We never saw him again until his blood sub role sunday.

    G O'Connor is playing with an injury? Why?

    The Barrett slow subbing happened with many players last year too. Slow to take off injured players is truly bizarre. I think he's listening and communication are poor. They must be.

    The rate of regression from last year is frightening. We drew with Cork on their home patch last year to this…

    At the Dylan Quirke game this year, we were well up at half time. But it was depressing because I could see exactly what Limerick were trying to do but it was all off the cuff from us. I couldn't make it out.
    But it looks like he has lost the dressing room.

    On the topic of positioning and tactical shape. Have any of ye noticed the wing backs going central in defence? The ammount of soft points we concede leaving the flanks open is staggering.



  • Registered Users Posts: 297 ✭✭jimmythesulk


    Wexford bring a great support, even better than Limerick.



  • Registered Users Posts: 240 ✭✭Montys return


    That's a myth. There was less than 10,000 at the Dublin game this year in Wexford Park.

    Like everyone else, they've a big relative following when they're winning.

    Some point to win it!



  • Registered Users Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Corcaigh84


    Congrats. 3 x wides by us was the difference and the goal was a goal (what are the umpires doing) but it is what it is. Ye better bring the fans to Nolan Park!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    PLayed poor enough. Lucky to win it but great score to do it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 38 89tipp91


    That was a tonic to see the under 20s see out the win this evening

    Great point from McCarthy at the end



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,164 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Great game of hurling tonight, Cork will feel hard done by and should have had a goal, not sure how the umpires didn't see that one. Ultimately Cork were the better team but 17 wides killed them.

    Darragh McCarthy with a fantastic point to win it. Serious heart and determination shown from our boys, fantastic work rate. Onto the final next Saturday night in Nowlan Park against an excellent Offaly team, should be a cracker.

    Only caught the last 5 minutes, haven't seen the goal not given but seems accepted it was valid so Tipp definitely got away with one there. Smashing point to win it though from the sideline.

    Cork seemed well on top in the finish, if that game went to ET they looked to have the momemtum. That group of players on't give up to be fair to them, great win in what has been a tough week.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    Very hard to beat a team twice in one Munster championship but Tipp did it tonight. Hammered Cork a few weeks ago. Cork got a similar run on Tipp tonight in terms of possession, had their homework done, but couldn't take their scores. Tipp dogged it out and got over the line. Great occasion and experience for young lads.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    Fair play to Cummins in his interview afterwards. Put micheal back in his box. Showing a replay to manager right after the match was uncalled for. Twas time for celebrating not talking about an incident that he or tipp had no control over. Wasn't as if twas last minute either. Tipp could well have responded if it was allowed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,480 ✭✭✭robbiezero


    Marvellous win. Well done to team and management, especially management who shipped a lot of flak after last year.

    Probably rode our luck with the wides and that goal. You felt if Cork got ahead at all in the last 15 we were goosed as we looked to have tired. But the team did really well to hang on in there and win the vital frees (soft in terms of they were silly frees for Cork to give away but fouls nonetheless) and that boomer of a winner point.

    When you hang in like that and get a bit of luck you deserve it. Last weekend we had a bit of luck with Horgans goal, but it doesnt make much difference when you are 15 or whatever points down and being slaughtered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭farmerval


    There was only 6,000.00 in Wexford park against Galway this year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,164 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Attendances in Leinster are really poor for some reason, fans don't seem to be buying into it.

    Huge game in Nowlan Park tomorrow but only 16000 tickets sold.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    But it's only tipp that don't support. People online don't like facts though. All counties go through lean support periods.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭farmerval


    Strange, Anthony Daly in the examiner doing his best to talk up Tipp today. I can't see any kick in them at all.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Coodykeegan


    We all know how this will end unfortunately. Tipp will probably put it up to them for a while before they fall away. We probably won’t get the severe bating we got last week. Expect to hear the usual sound bites about ‘restoring pride’.At the end of the day it will most probably be another defeat by about 5 or 6 points. And we’ve sunk so low that will be seen as a victory by some. We are moving in the right direction, and we’ll give Cahill another year etc.
