The nemesis of every hurling team seems to be "the doubters"
They are always out there doubting, the doubters. And it's up to strong teams to show up and prove those doubters wrong and become FÚCKING CHAMPIONS!

Personally can't stand tipp fans, by far the worst of any county I've seen at games myself.

Honn Tipp!!

Two class hurling teams on display today.

This means so much to so many in Tipp, we needed it badly.

It was stick fighting not bog ball.

You'd be swearing too if you hadn't won an All Ireland SH title in 6 years.

Only one thing worse than a kilkenny fan winning an all Ireland and that's a tipp fan. Painful.

Congrats Tipp, on your one in a row again...

I guess this is why we have a thread in After Hours for this :P

The only county Robert to have won a SHC in every decade since the formation of the GAA.

Cats are class hurlers but they'll never have that.

No because in 1887, it was reported that hurling in Kilkenny was the worst in the country as Kilkenny was a cricket county, as everyone from the rich to the poor played cricket.
Yet 17 years later Kilkenny won their first All-Ireland and never looked back.

The best team won today, no controversy, so it is easy to accept the loss but I have not fully forgiven that person who while doing a paid wrote 'Up Tipp' on a wall on one of my farm buildings years ago :pac:

Cricket was a big game in Tipp too back in the day. Brendan Cummins still plays it.

Listen the Cats over the past 17 years or so of Cody have being like a machine, it's the greatest run any hurling county will ever do.

As everybody I spoke to in Tipp tonight said, To be the best you have to beat the best.

gramar

It was a great match to watch. Kilkenny and Cork have the upper hand over Tipp in All-Irelands but over the years they have played the most stylish hurling and played with more flair than any other county, success aside.

JeffKenna

Well done to Tipp on getting to an All Ireland football semi-final!!!

Winterlong

I have never set foot in Tipp. Have driven thru it but never stopped and set foot in it.

This wonderful victory will inspire me to visit it properly.

Mr. CooL ICE

Stopped in Roscrea to grab a coffee last week and the road in to it looked like this.

Serious question, as I don't follow GAA. I've heard this "Up" business used before. Is it an abbreviation or slang as it makes no sense in the context of Up Tipp etc.

Cheers

It's a fairly standard exhortation, akin to "Go Red Sox" or "Viva Barca"

Up The Ra, Up the Dubs, etc.

Up is generally postitive, upward curve, upward fortunes hence Up Tipp! In Downs case 'Up the Mournemen' or Down abu may be better options :pac:

Ah man, I am always telling whoever will listen how well traveled I am, how many countries I have visited and how I love nothing more than hitting the road.

But tis true, I have never been to Mullinahone. I suppose I need to sort that out.

Do boy, schick it on that bucketlisht schtraight away

Here is the full poem. Shout out to Xenophile who posted this on a thread previously in the Tipp forum

THE TWO TRAVELLERS

“All over the world”, the traveller said,
“In my peregrination’s I’ve been;
And there’s nothing remarkable, living or dead,

But these eyes of mine have seen.
From the land of the ape and the marmoset,
To the tents of the Fellaheen”
Said the other, ” I’ll lay you an even bet
You were never in Farranalleen.”

“I’ve hunted in woods near Seringapatam,
And sailed in the Polar Seas,
I fished for a week in the Gulf of Siam

And lunched on the Chersonese.
I’ve lived in the valleys of fair Cashmere,
Under Himalay’s snowy ridge.”
Then the other impatiently said ,”See here ,
Were you ever at Laffan’s Bridge?”

“I’ve lived in the land where tobacco is grown,
In the suburbs of Santiago;
And I spent two years in Sierra Leone,

And one in Del Fuego.
I walked across Panama all in a day,
Ah me! But the road was rocky.”
The other replied , “Will you kindly say,
Were you ever at Horse -and – Jockey?”

“I’ve borne my part in a savage fray,
When I got this wound from a Lascar;
We were bound just then from Mandalay

For the Island of Madagascar,
Ah! The sun never tired of shining there,
And the trees canaries sang in,”
“What of that?” said the other, “sure I’ve a pair,
And there’s lots of them in Drangan.”

“And I’ve hunted the tigers in Turkestan,
In Australia the kangaroos;
And I lived six months as medicine man

To a tribe of the Kathmandoos.
And I’ve stood on the scene of Olympic games,
Where the Grecians showed their paces,”
The other replied, ” Now tell me, James,
Were you ever at Fethard Races?”

“Don’t talk of your hunting in Yucatan,
Or your fishing off St. Helena;
I’d rather see young fellows hunting the ‘wren’

In the hedges of Tobbernaheena.
No doubt the scenes of a Swiss Canton
Have a passable sort of charm
Give me a sunset on Slievenamon
From the head at Hackett’s Farm.

“And I’d rather be strolling along the quay,
And watching the river flow,
Than growing tea with the cute Chinee,
Or mining in Mexico.

And I wouldn’t much care for Sierra Leone,
If I hadn’t seen Killenaule,
And the man that was never in Mullinahone
Shouldn’t say he had travelled at all”

Are you going across to Ireland?
Will you take me in your car?
I'm sure you'll find my conversation sound
I can pay my way entirely
I'll enjoy your company
Leave me off in any Tipperary Town

Sure there's Cashel Tipp and Lorra
Old Borris and Clogheen
You can take me where I've never been before
In Dundrum, Roscrea or Carrick
In Thurles or Clonmel
Or my birthplace by the town of Templemore

CHORUS:
Leave me on the road to Nenagh
Where the rippling Shannon calls
And the Arra Mountains join the Silvermines
I'll be happy too in Cahir
Where the Galtee shadows fall
I'm at home in any Tipperary town

I relive again the memory
Of days I used to know
Ere I let my wandering dreams invade my mind
In that little town of Emly
I knew so long ago
How I rue the day I left it all behind!

Thanks (and to other replies). I appreciate 'up' is a positive word, but it's just sounds odd

Kilkenny just didn't turn up at all and Tipp were just the lucky that they were the team that played them when it happened.


It'll be all the more sweeter now when it's Galway that'll be the ones to dethrone Tipperary next year. That'll be feckin' lovely boi.

Nothing really more to say.

I near choked on my Bounty bar reading that. Go on outta that. Tipp were rusty enough three weeks ago and ye couldn't seize the opportunity when ye should have. I wouldn't get my hopes up for 2017 if I were you, with Tipp coming in from a high and Kilkenny keen for revenge.

Always the bridesmaid.
