Was indeed, I was surrounded at the end, there was lads frothing at the mouth. Tipp team got booed off the field after lifting the cup, all very embarrassing for clare.

There was always a venom in the Tipp/Clare rivalry that's seldom seen in hurling these days. I might be biased but I think that Clare have more of a problem with Tipp than the other way around..

I agree, think it's the same with Limerick also, think we look more to Cork kilkenny imo.

Ya we will always have a thing with alot of other counties because we border alot of them and success will always bring the haters and thats why we look at cork and kk because they have won more than us.
I find it gas that lads can have such hatred for galway and offaly more so than cork or kk but its where you live within the county that determines your true enemy.

It was all square deep in stoppage time, and a Clare puck out led to a tap over free being awarded to them, which would have won the game. However, the umpire flagged the Clare goalie for stepping outside the square on the puck out, so the ref instead awarded Tipp the 65 for the goalies infringement. Pa duly slotted the 65 and Tipp won by a point. Ref needed a Garda escort and any Tipp fans in Ennis that night fled fairly lively.

I dont think i've ever seen a crowd as angry. Kilkenny have their moments but they are more smug in their superiority then anything else although tbf we sowed the shít into them after 1 league win last march. One example in clare last year they gave out about every refereeing decision and then announcer calls out the attendance. A response comes from the crowd "Go way ya liar"

The angriest crowd ive seen outside of Millwall and Galatasaray

Kelly recalls how the Tipperary dressing room was a place of desolation after the 2009 All-Ireland final defeat to Kilkenny. I ve a strong memory of walking into the dressing room and seeing (then coach/selector) Eamon O Shea crying in the physio s room. Going back to the team hotel, you d meet your family and you feel you ve let them down.

kelly really let babs have it in that article, even bringing up redser incident. we all know what happened with redser and there was other players involved too, I was raging at the time that all the players involved were not booted out.
the redser incident shows everything that is wrong with modern gaa teams.
Managers should lead and players follow not the other way around and if the manager is not up to it he will be replaced by the CB not the players.
whatever you thought of babs second turn as tipp manager, the truth of the matter is it did not work mainly because the players did not want it to.

This is just ridiculous, especially the chairman of the county board getting involved, goes without saying the people involved come from clubs that have little or no interest in football.

You do not hear the football people telling players what to do, the fact of the matter is if they did they would be steam rolled by the county board.

To me it smacks of the old GAA ban. Let the people involved come out and tell us what they are going to do about players who play soccer or rugby from time to time with their local village or town.

I can't see why the football manager would not be entitled to do the same. It's nothing like the ban.
Tipperary supporters expect their minor hurling team to be competitive at the very top level and to win All-Irelands. It's going to be hard to compete with the other top teams if you have a third or more of your team only able to train half as much as their counterparts in Kilkenny etc particularly in hurling.

Exactly, if we want to compete with kilkenny then we need to match them on resources and effort.

Is anyone else annoyed by the non opening of the blue gate on the Tipp Institute side of Semple Stadium? It's never open on match days and it would prevent the bottleneck that occurs at the main entrance on the New Stand side. I can't see any logical reason not to open it.

Surely its open when there's a decent crowd inside?

It wasn't open for any of the league games, I actually can't remember the last time I walked out that gate. It's only a small issue but a bit of common sense would fix the problem.

Babs done some crazy stuff in charge though namely the auld ones on the team bus, he constantly thrown his own players under the proverbial bus in the media, playing Brendan Cummins wing back in training, last minute omissions. Babs made his own position untenable although tbf there was a huge generation divide between the years of English and Fox in 89 and Eoin and Lar in the 00s.

It all came down to babs versus certain senior players.
The stories that have come out about that time about Babs are crazy alright but certain senior players for whatever reason, were just as bad as Babs for the craziness. The whole phone call thing was bizarre.

It is a pity it went the way it did but Babs will always be a legend.

What's the phone call thing?

Redser had a few pints along with some of the boys (Micheal Webster who was also dropped) and he decided he'd ring Babs and tell him what he really thought of him. Brendan Cummins did say it was out of order in his book and I suppose there is no going back when you leave a rather strong message to the manager over the phone. Babs couldn't afford to show any weakness.

As a hurler i thought Redser was a brilliant fielder and there is no doubting the talent he possessed. With the proper set-up and coaching i think he could have had a very long fruitful Tipp career.
Ive met the guy the day of the 2014 final. I said 'Alright Redser' to him on Dorset street before heading to the match and he very politely said 'Not so bad now lad' and gave me a pat on the back. A real nice polite fella.

Now I did also learn that Babs done alot of great work for Tipp. He set up the supporters club and done quite a bit of fundraising. I dont want to be too harsh on him. Also ive learned that he done everything to get players jobs in the 80s to stop them from emigrating. A guy who lived with Paul Delaney over in the US told me that Babs done all in his power to get him a job back home. To be fair to Babs, there was a generation gap between his departure in 94 to his return in 2006 and the Offaly farce in between didn't help matters. Some times managers can be in the right place at the right time and the wrong place at the wrong time. Raneiri with Leicester/Greece springs to mind.

This is the Kildare team to play Tipperary tomorrow at 14.00, taken from the Tipperary GAA website

No sign of the Tipperary team being listed, this would not happen to the hurlers, last checked five minutes ago !

Do hurling supporters really expect the football fans to give their support the county board.
