Chin won ball made scores and took them.he went to the all stars instead of playing for wexford youths because he thought he was in with a shout of a all star.my original point was he did more than bonner imo to warrant one.I dont have anything against bonner .he does a job for tipp but we are talking about the all star selections.

Yes we are indeed now compare the level of opposition faced by the two this year and tell me who deserves the all star? Chin is a good hurler and may be a victim of the fact he plays for a lowly Wexford team but to compare him to a man who played consistently well throughout the championship is laughable and your argument that he doesnt score enough is strawman at its finest

People are obviously getting old and the minds are not quite what they used to be (including you Dirkmeister)

Here are some of the highlights of the match on YouTube (image quality ain't the best):

The first goal (scored by DJ and assisted by Henry) is at the start of the video.

The lead-up to the second goal starts at 5'34" (scored by Henry and assisted by Gorta).

The amount of work making scores what Martin Conerford did best that year and still going strong.

So kind of what Bonner Maher does!

Well we will just have to agree to disagree on this

To be honest the only things I remember well from that game is DJ's epic point where Ollie Baker fell over trying to catch him and that I was sitting in the premium tier in the Davin stand. I must be getting old

Some Carey fella scored that goal, never heard much of him since;)

As per some of the posts above I was talking about the second goal.

I thought Henry had squared it to Comerford who finished it but it was actually the other way around.

I probably should have checked it myself on Youtube before posting.

What about that point he scored (against Offaly I think) on his knees? Now that was epic.

citykat · 11-11-2016 11:17AM

Jackie has just announced his retirement from inter county. He wont have any regrets after that career.

adrian522 · 11-11-2016 11:51AM

Good luck to him. Not much point in hanging around any longer.

One of the great greats, Best of luck and thanks Jackie.

11-11-2016 01:28PM

Best of luck to Jackie on his retirement. Spoke to a few lads that know him and by all accounts meant to be a sound bloke. Huge level of success. Very decorated career. As a Tipp fan I'm relieved to see the back of him

dubcat51 · 11-11-2016 02:06PM

Brillant player and leader for kilkenny.we need to find a few like him going forward.can still see him waiting for lar to come out for the second half.getting married in december.so would like to thank him for great memories and wish him the very best for the future.

Realt Dearg Sec · 11-11-2016 02:12PM

When Brian Cody made an effort to build a stronger team that wouldn't be muscled out of games ever again after galway 2001, Jackie Tyrrell was probably the kind of figure he had in mind. Skillful, for sure, but the main things were he could strike a bit of terror into an opposing forward, and he would never be made a fool of just because someone was faster than him. He wasn't a pacy player obviously, but he was a smart hurler, had great positional sense and was seldom turned. Probably too fond of the shoulder in the chest, but I think it was more about making a statement than being outright dirty. He knew that a backs job was much about getting in his opponent's psyche as anything else. And anyone who has read lar Corbett's autobiography will know how well Jackie could do that.

Best of luck in your retirement Jackie!

blackcard · 11-11-2016 02:17PM

Before his first AI in 2006, the talk was how he would be roasted because of his lack of pace. However, he had great positional sense which meant he was rarely beaten.

As a great Kilkenny man in my club said; running is only for fellas who don't know how to ready the game."

And Jackie certainly was a great. I'd love to have seen him at half back, although corner probably was his best position one of the best cover backs I've seen.

tbiggertycome · 11-11-2016 07:27PM

Sad to see another great go but as the usual cliche goes "He owes Kilke..... ". He's been a fabulous servant and I know he would have probably gone last year if he had got a run in the final he just didn't want to leave it that way and decided to go again this year although from knowing him a bit he will have zero regrets about going back this year other than the lack of playing he got to do. I'm sure he'll enjoy the retirement and you'll see him hurl for the village for many more years knowing him.

I know a lad who is best friends with one of our management team and they often talk hurling. According to him Dempsey and the others are going no where, pretty much all the backroom team have committed to coming back again next year.

Rasputin11 · 11-11-2016 10:48PM

Tyrell scored in the 2009 Final, there can't be too many corner backs that have achieved the feat, Paddy Stapleton would be the only one that comes to mind.

Herd John tennyson is available carrickshock for leinster game next week.
and has to miss first Rd or quater final of senior next year
could this be right

danganabu · 12-11-2016 12:55AM

Tyrell was a class act, hardy hoor and equally comfortable off both sides, a thinking mans corner back was how I would describe him.

sounds plausible, suspensions are served in the same competition and the interprovincial an be classed as a stand alone competition.

Meet Jackie at an Ocean Colour Scene concert once, sound man class dress sense

jeff bingham · 12-11-2016 02:23PM

Fairwell to Jackie. As tough as they come. Still keeps himself in serious condition.

Ya Tennyson plays next week. Tough game but they really should come through Leinster.
