Good article on the Sindo yesterday about the NFL Division 4 . Great to see Barry Grogan back for Tipp . Mentioned that there is a 38 man preliminary panel , anyone know what it is ?

Best of luck to all Tipperary teams in 2013,especially Eamonn O Shea and the senior Hurlers.

ReacherCreature

The last thread was a cracking effort, hoping for more of the same this time around.

Good luck to footballers and hurlers this year. With each passing day I'm getting excited!

Barry is a huge addition. His line of work though it would seem that whatever industry he is in he has to travel to get work these last few years which is a huge pity. His brother Seamus would be still good enough to make the county team if he wanted it also. To have Barry, Quinlivan and Moloney in the fwd line next year with Acheson and possibly Sean Carey in the half forwards

I love going to matches. From waking that morning to meeting the travelling party, the motorway up or down, the quick burger or two before the game, the entering the stadium with anticipation, taking your seat, enjoying the curtain raiser, then the buildup to the big game with the teams entering the field, the parade, amhrain na bfhiann, the throw in with plenty of digging in the ribs, the highs and lows, the nervousness, the tension, the elation of Tipp getting a goal, the horrible feeling of conceding one......is there any better experience you'd have on earth??? And were only fans....what must the players be feeling? Even in Pairc Ui Kip its still a good match experience...just take the cramped seats and crumbling stadium and all the other safety hazards out of the equation.

Will he play football? I remember he played on the U21 team in 2010 but never knew he played football. I went to school with the lad, he's a sound guy.

You've got the atmosphere spot on! Same here about the matches - it's (usually!) a great day out. It's just a nuisance about Thurles. From Clonmel where I'm based, it's impossible to get there on public transport so usually I rely on a friend who'll go there if Limerick are playing. Must ask around this year if anyone's going that way. I'd like to get to some of the league matches and offer support too rather than just the championship.

Carey prefers the hurling and therefore walked off the football panel from 2010 to 2012 (in 2010 to concentrate on u21 hurling, 2011 because he was on the Senior senior panel and 2012 because he was on the intermediate hurling panel).

If truth be known he is probably a better footballer not that he is a bad hurler or anything. As last years intermediate panel are not eligible this year i would imagine he will go with the footballers until a time where he might get a call up from O'Shea. TBH he got a rash run from management in 2011 and performed no where near his capabilities. In football terms he has been involved since 08-09

Sean Carey is in Australia not sure if he'll be back or not but definitley not part of any panel at the moment

Id imagine if he was to return he'd definitely get a call up.

I would say that Sean Carey, if he came home, would be more likely to make the football panel than the hurling panel.

Id agree with that and tbh he would prob the football with little challenge but with the right tutelage he might also make a great hurler down the line.

Played decent enough at intermediate last year. Yes he was poor in 2011 but it could be down to nerves or lack of confidence and lets face it the last management weren't the best at people skills in terms of advising him the way forward. Eamon O'Shea could make a great hurler out of him yet if he was to see the potential in him.

Interested to ask if anyone's going to join the Tipperary Supporters Club for 2013?

Tipperary GAA finances are facing a "fiscal cliff" would like to hear suggestions as to how expenses could be better managed.

We have 6 boards within in the county - 4 Divisional and County Hurling and Football - where one would be more than adequate.

Whats that 36 to 48 expense accounts cut down to 6 to 8.

Dont forget all the 'Bord Na NOgs' too. One across the county would be more than sufficient there also. Does the Camogie and Ladies Football boards also come under the County Board financial umbrella?

Email any suggestions to the county board.
Sean Nugent in particular gave me a very positive reply and comes across as a very nice guy

In my opinion managers of local GAA clubs should not be paid for their services, like the players let them have the same rewards.

We need transparency and openness. Post your comments here if you feel strong enough about them. It will be better to have them discussed here and you can be sure enough that the County Board will be watching.

So post them here and share them with the grass roots members who have the best interests of the county at heart.

It's not the mangers that are being paid. It's the coaches that are brought in from other clubs/counties. To get a good coach you have to pay money! Paying them for their expertise.

same thing isnt it? manager/coach can be the same thing at times in different places. Take tony considine when he was involved with burgess a few yrs ago. He was the manager and was the coach as well.
To get a decent coach on most occasions you do have to pay well for the expertise they will provide

Timmy Hammersley with two goals. Shane Bourke with the other. Not sure on points.

Was it a challenge or a part of the McGrath cup as one person said on Twitter?

It was a tournament game.

The McGrath cup is football. Tipp are playing Cork in it next week.
