i can remember being up in the upper tier of the hogan back in 2002 for the Tipp/KK semi. Stadium was empty in a good parts that day but the crowd iirc definately passed the 50k perhaps even the 60k mark. Id love to get an official figure

It was the first meeting of the sides in championship since the 91 final and i suppose people had the few bob in the pocket.

Sorted since thank god. When you cant get anything done in ireland (which unfortunately is more often the case than not) then the moral of the story is to complain and threaten to go higher.

Nerves are building. Won't be able to stand losing to Kilkenny (that disaster of an AI last year) so if we do, I'm heading for Dublin Airport and out of the country!

I think we will win. If we do lose then we have to just accept that this team arent going to hit the great heights we expected, however i think we will win this game if we are sharp and hungry enough. We need players to stand up and be counted big time. We have Cummins, Johno, Eoin Lar, and possibly Curran who may well pull on the blue and gold for the last time tomorrow. Its now or never for them. Likewise for our neighbours there is a few that may well throw on the black and amber for the last time but i think we will have a point to prove.

I think if we're there or thereabouts at half-time in scores and performance we'll push on for the win..looking forward to it now..

So when can we get Sheedy back?

He's in the boot of my car. I m going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

[digzy]

so much for momentum and 'building nicely'.
cant remember us getting this bad a mauling before. hard to see declan being back next season.the 'tactic' with lar running after tommy walsh will be my memory from this debacle

[TiltedBrain]

Rubbish, We've been very lucky in a few games this year, keeping in with Cork in a few games, the Limerick game, we were finally found out today,

Shocking tactics.

[hawkwing]

Eoin Kelly always had heart even when the legs were gone and was too proud to ever give up especially against Kilkenny.This was a complete disgrace and nothing short of it.One thing you do is not give up even when you meet a better opponent,they should all have gone home at halftime and forfeited the game rather than coming out and doing that. Fairplay to O'Neill at least he looked like the jersey meant something on his back.No disgrace getting beaten anytime but 20mins of standing on admiring Kilkenny is a new low.

[tipp_Gunner]

Im absolutely disgusted with that today. Absolutely disgusted. The physical stuff i didnt really mind because its about time that crowd got some back but the "tactics" were baffling.
All the training put in this year absolutely wasted. Is hurling in such a state in Tipperary that when Liam Sheedy, Eamon O'Shea and Michael Ryan left the setup we seemed to have a shortage of decent candidates for the job? We are producing a decent flow of minor and u21 teams and it seems to be going to waste because of the backward approach taken by this management team who are out of their depth.
I'm really boiling right now. Had great hopes for this team in 2010 but it seems alot of them were overhyped and went on to greatly believe their own hype.
