Fair enough but 95% go for their own for my list i stick to neutrals.

Ger Loughnane has given Tipp his vote. Ger Cunningham and Kyle Hayes have tipped Kilkenny. Pretty even i must say over all with nearly all saying it's very hard to call. I remember last year the vast majority of pundits were going for Galway. Up to 75% i'd say. They were strongly fancied for the two in a row.I didn't and fancied a Limerick win. The time for talking is nearly over lads.

Best of luck and safe travels tomorrow folks I’ll be rooting for Tipp myself, mainly because I think Liam Sheedy is a class act and Callanan is a superb talent to watch. Therefore Callanan to lift Liam just after 5pm tomorrow evening, enjoy!

God, theres been some crap spoken about that team since 2016. It was great to see them stand up and let it all out today. No better feeling than being there watching it

Chalk McHugh

The backs, after a troubling first 20 minutes were fantastic and totally dominated Kilkenny in the second half. Barrett cleaned up any loose ball and delivered good ball up field, Paudie was solid if not spectacular, Brendan put in a shift as usual while Kennedy, Heffernan and Ronan Maher were collosal. Kennedy continued his good form from last 25 mins of Wexford game and fired over two great points. Heffernan has hurled out of his skin last two games and what a prospect going forward. Ronan Maher for me is going gead to head with Seamie for hurler of the year (possibly with TJ). A real resilient Tipp backline with buckets of skill, hard work and defiance. Proud of these lads one and all.

Congrats Tipp folk on here. Enjoy tbe celebrations and the lift it will inevitably give the county. I'm a Dub with Tipp parents so im as happy as any of ye. Up Tipp!!

Congrats to Tipp, they were excellent in the 2nd half to be fair. Hope the Tipp supporters from this forum enjoy tonight, it's some turnaround from last season.

Super performance after a nervy start. I thought the sending off was harsh, and it spoiled the game but I don't think it would have changed the result. The first half just looked like we were warming up for what was to come in the second half.
Noel McGrath was incredible I thought, he completely controlled the game.
I w thought kilkenny gave up half way through the second half which I was surprised at, I know they were finding no way through and probably out of ideas but it was a strange sight to see. We had a load of time on the ball, maybe it was just good game management.
There s also some serious talent coming through, Heffernan after a bad start was brilliant, Kennedy stood up and played out of his skin, each of the subs who came on, looked superb.
There were calls for Jason Forde to be sent off for a clumsy tackle on Murphy, and I also heard complaints about barrets pull on Richie Hogan. Even Richie Hogan s sending off (Granted is was definitely the worst if them three) I don t think there was any intent on those players to injure the opposition, (again Hogan I d say intended driving him out with a shoulder, and the elbow came up when he stepped out of range) that was an extremely clean game, surely intent has to be considered before issuing cards, if a player is honest and doing his best, referees need to consider that. Is hurling in danger of becoming a bit soft, or am I just turning into an oul fella.
Enjoy the celebrations, go on the premier.

To be honest not really sure what to even say about that, just a fantastic team and management and given us some displays, not just today or this year, but some of them for more than a decade now. The veterans have driven us on this year while other lads came of age and other lads again showing they'll be a force come next year.

Have to say was a bit torn by the hogan sending off. Didnt really see it at the time, but i thought we were just about getting on top of the game at that point and part of me wanted to see us beat a full team if possible. Having seen the replay, it was clear red but still feel a bit for the player cos he's a full hearted but never dirty guy. Just one of those things and cant blame ref or linesman either as they were just doing their job. Still, we had to win the game and second half was awesome, just simple as that. Tactically, i thought Kilkenny played into our hands, as 3 years ago, but that's for them to ponder i guess.

Just see in betting, Seamie 4-9 for hoty with Noel 5/2. Noel would be my choice personally, as i think he'll be motm tonight after being mofm in s/f and simply brilliant all through year, munster final excepted perhaps. Seamie will probably get it, though, and that's alright with me too. As long as it isn't another 2016 and the bolter - as in TJ - sweeps in to take the prize!

I dont see at all how the red was harsh. Dangerous play must be punished. Agree on noel. Game management was fantastic

you cant just look at intent. Dangerous play must be punished and then look for mitigating factors to reduce the sanction if necessary. I didn't see anything mitigating to reduce it from red to yellow. That game was clean before hand wouldnt be mitigating. Hurling singer from turning soft.

agree that tipp tactically got it right and the red came at a good time for tipp as they had half time to plan how to exploit the extra man while kk had to try second guess what tipp would do.

Cant see the getting it at all.

Hogan gave Barrett an elbow in the jaw , the last tv clip shows it perfect . So unless some of us Tipp folk are gone a bit soft in the head from looking at Cody and shefflin bawling at refs for frees then it’s a red card . Over on the kk thread , none of them seemed to see any elbow and they all agree Barrett dived

Got hit from his blindside with an elbow to the jaw and went down . Fairly normal reaction to a hit like that ,on or off the field

Anybody who watches boxing will note when the head/ jaw get a wallop/blow / punch. You see the head giving a very sudden ‘jerk’. I saw Barrett’s head giving a very similar jerk when it got that elbow. Given that definite contact what player would not ‘ go down’ - if only for a free

Laois gave us a good test this year, was very impressed and expect them to be a handful for a couple of the leinster teams next year.

Good luck to all heading for thurles today, wish i could be there! Have to content myself with watching this over and over. As soon as this hit the net, i was certain it would be our day. I believe the technical term for what Conor Fogarty is suffering here is "twisted blood."
