Think this would be better served as the start of a Tipp GAA discussion thread seeing as there are a good few Tipp posters that frequent the forum.

There is a thread in the Tipperary forum already which Tipperary fans are more than happy to use since and have been since 2010 but sure perhaps put up a poll and let democracy decide.

Personally i think its too late in the year and id prefer to continue using the existing one. Maybe next January we could consider or move the existing one to the gaa forum. Dont see the point in two tbh

I see no harm in having one hear aswell Gunner, not many from outside of Tipp even knew about the other thread and usually any outsider that posts there is just wumming.

It would be no harm to have one here where we can get the views and opinions of people from outside the county, especially as Tipp supporters in general have a tendancy to over react in both defeat and victory alike, knee-jerk reactions are a speciality in Tipp.

Great idea for a thread. The thread on the Tipp forum is primarily inter-county discussion.

My predictions are in bold.

It's hard to see past Drom & Loughmore in the Mid. Both have lost players to the US in recent weeks but I think both should still advance comfortably.;

In the North it's tough to call. I'm presuming Brendan Maher won't be playing against Silvermines and for that reason I'm going with the 'Mines in what will be a very close game.
Kildangan were my pick at the start of the year to win the North and although toom were impressive in their last outing I've a feeling Kildangan will win by 2 or 3 points.

In the South Swan vs Ballingarry is tough to call. Both will be missing big players (Ballingarry through J1s and Swan through injury). I think Swan might win by 1 or 2.
Killenaule will win this game by 5+ points. Mullinahone are missing Gary Cronin, Seanie Curran & Cathal Horan and there's a rumour that Eoin Fennelly will also be missing. Horan did most of their damage through the league section and is a huge loss.

In the West, Knockavilla & Cappa are both poor so Clon & Eire Óg are easy picks.

The only game that's hard to call in the county series is Holycross & Moneygall. The rest look straight forward.


What do you think zanajak?

Id agree there isn't much contributors to the club scene in Tipp and im as guilty of that myself but the only real way to generate discussion is by posting about it and i see no reason why club hurling/football cannot be discussed on the regular forum. Im sure there is knowledgeable people on the thread who can contribute opinions on it. That said perhaps in future years its better to have 1 solitary thread, but have it here in the gaa forum instead

I don't think its that unique in Tipperary to be honest its just your more exposed to it and it must be said were caught in a vicious cycle.

Once a decade we win an All Ireland (in 2010 we couldn't have won it in better fashion and i don't think in living memory I've seen a Tipp team play as well) and then we somehow fall away in the following years and this has been the cycle since 1965. We've been caught cold underestimating teams, not being up for a physical battle taking all the wrong options...It isn't all in our imagination. We have not been delivering what a so called big hurling county is supposed to be capable of delivering on any sort of consistent basis. Whatever about winning consecutive All Ireland's, we seem to manage to even fall down the rankings in the years preceding winning of Liam McCarthy. No wonder people are fed up, its a case of 'here we go again'.

Never before has has much money being invested in our county teams and yet it would seem the same pattern is emerging just as it does time and time again. Just when we look like having a team who could at least be main contenders for years to come, we fall away. We seen it in the 90s and 00s and it looks as if the cycle is repeating. People are fed up and want this cycle to end.

I can take losing to Limerick and bloody hell for their part they played excellent but to see lads, some of whom are men of 6'3 and others with years of experience and they just been bulldozed out the way is extremely disheartening. Fair enough if we were winning balls and it was merely a case of Limerick just wanting it a little bit more but the fact is they wanted it a whole lot more.

I agree to a certain extent that fans can be cruel during the hard times and carried away during the good and some who id even question about their 'fanship' go overboard but i don't think we are unique in this regard tbh.

Most of the criticism you see is a vent of frustration as Tipp fans are seeing familiar patterns rear their ugly head and before we know it ground-hog day is amongst us again.

Massive shock I see as Thurles Sars are now out. Really opens it up. To be honest, I was favouring Drom/Inch myself but saw Clonoulty recently and they look a pretty good side too.

Nope, they're gone completely. Had already lost in the mid championship.

They had already lost to Drom/Inch by 10 points or more in the Mid Championship. Losing to Nenagh yesterday sent them out altogether.

I wouldn't think it's great news for Tipp given the players involved, though maybe this will refocus them as they now only have one real competition of note that their still left in, if Tipp lose than that's their year over.

Alot of lads would say that teams would target him,try to rile him up etc. In saying that Nenagh wouldn't have used their best player Mikey Heffernan to do it! Presuming there must have been an altercation between the two?

Fair play to the 'mines aswel. Only just up from Intermediate and straight into the North final.

It wasnt Mikey. It was a Heffernan alright but not one of the 3 brothers who have played county at some level recently (Tommy, Barry, or Mikey).

It was Billy Heffernan that was sent off, wasn't at the game myself as was too busy celebrating our win over Toom but anyone I was talking to that was at it, including Nenagh folk, said that Lar did nothing and it looked like an umpire trying to make a name for himself! Heffernan wouldnt be a dirty player either tbh.

Misread the article. Thought it was Mikey that got sent off.

Kildangan will go hard on the championship this year. They've been a coming team for years. Definitely capable of causing a shock along the way. That said the Mines will give them a good tussle the next day as they are a very robust unit. They have adapted to life at Senior level incredibly well

Scandalous if that was the case with Lar and tbh i remember his red v Clonoulty 2 years ago, he done very little that day either. Is Heffernan one of the clan i was referring to? If he is then i couldnt imagine much malice in him

Yeah we are going well now and have a very nice balance of young lads and more experienced guys, the mines have done very well but they were rather fortunate yesterday and Borris should have had the game over at half time tbh.

Billy Heffernan is a cousin of Tommy, Mikey and Barry and as you say there would be no malice in any of those and if anything they would often be accused of being the opposite.

Heard word last night that Kieran Bergin may have broken he's hand at the weekend, would be a setback if true.

Confirmed to be out for a month. Yeah that's a real hammer blow. As if we couldnt get off to a worse start, one of our better players to get injured then

Its a bad blow alright especially as he is new to the team and inter-county hurling and the more game time and training he gets the more beneficial it will be. But as they say one mans misfortune is another mans opportunity and Conor O'Brien who I personally felt should have started the last day will now get he's chance.

premierstone

More bad news on the injury front John O'Brien has torn he's calf muscle and will be out for 6 weeks, so from having only one forward capable of winning a high ball, we now have none!

We play the loosers of KK and Dublin away, so in all likelyhood a tricky away game in Parnell park, will be a good test of character for Tipp and I fully expect them to perform, it really is now or never.

The talk is that Bergin would have been tried in the forwards before his injury. Thats woeful news re Johno. At least Brendan Maher is back i believe he scored 1-10 for Borris the weekend. Huge plus

Yeah Bergin plays midfield for the club and hurled in the half forward line U21 so wouldn't have been a huge suprise.

Another big plus is Gearoid Ryan was very good again for Templederry at the weekend, we could do with he's workrate to compliement some of our tippy tappy merchants.

premierstone

Good news, according to Tony Delaney just now on Tipp FM Johnno's injury not as bad as first feared and he will be back for Sat week!!

There was 16 senior games played last weekend, all the favourites obliged with the exception of Kildangan who were beaten by Killenaule, not a huge shock though.

The two highest profile games were Nenagh v Clonoulty and Drom-Inch v Borrisleigh with Nenagh and Drom winning out in two close fought games, the Nenagh game particularly could have went either way.

Good win for the Football Minors, great to see teams from all divisions producing good footballers, for too long it was considered a "Southern Thing".

Well obviously you care. I saw it on TFK and posted it here, so I guess the author will remain a mystery.
