Paudie has retired. One of the best to ever pick up a stick. A career to be celebrated.
A man who played through all types of injuries has retired due to a neck injury. He must step away from all contact sport.
Poor start for the Footballers yesterday. Lets hope its a little better in the next round
Ya it’s fairly embarrassing the way they’ve went about it. Needed to grow a pair and just say he isn’t in their 2022 plans instead of being soft about it.
The whole 'Bubbles ' saga rumbles on. Why wouldnt someone from the management come out initially and say 'by the way John O'Dwyer is not on the panel because hes injured'. But that didn't happen. Now a week or 2 later the manager comes out and says he would be on the panel but he's injured.
All I'm waiting for now is Bubblez to come out and say 'I'm actually Fit,Knee is grand'.
Bonnar confirms that injury is the reason.
“Who wouldn’t like to have John on their panel?
“I’ve been talking to John since December and he’s having trouble with his knee and we got it scanned.
“It just developed, he tried the knee again out in early January in a challenge match and it was a lot worse than he thought.'
I'd imagine it's something to do with Davin's grade/small pick and Whelan's intercounty ambitions. Davin's won a South Tipperary Under-21 B Hurling Championship in 2018. And the Minor C in 2012. Whelan got to play in a county final under 21 A final with Mull the other day...
Strange one, why was he with mull in the first place? I'd imagine they could have a case.
Conor Whelan transferring to Mullinahone. There was an agreement with Carrick Davins that he could play underage with Mullinahone. Apparently, Carrick didn't see this coming. I'm surprised they didn't. He has been playing underage with Mullinahone players and the bond will have obviously grown. Also, probably, the thing best thing for Whelan and his ambitions.
Most courses in ul involve a 9month work placement so perhaps the boys are travelling to the states for that..
The new Jersey looks really impressive. The white collar makes it. Michael Hogan was a handsome man but im not sure I'd have him on the jersey for the whole year. It seems abit much.
I'd have to agree woth the last poster. You can't have guys in for half a season. It just wouldn't work especially if they were hurling up a storm in training and were good enough to start. The jury is firmly out on Bonnar. I dont rate him and find him inflexible in his gameplans.
Presume there going to the States for the summer so no point being involved for the league if you're gone for the championship.
I think the new jersey is class. Love the collar. Agree on Mick Hogan image.
True enough, I would never blame anyone for a choice. If I was Bonnar I'd try and get them for the League and Munster championship at least - too talented to let go without keeping them training- college will be finishing around the same time as the Munster comp. Even if they leave before the all-ireland championship, their talent is worth it, in my book.
They may be travelling after they finish university and coach may not want them involved for league if theyre gone for championship. Nothing too difficult to figure out tbh...
What are these alternatives that need to be discussed then?
New Jersey is very nice, think I'll have to get it. Mick Hogan being included is a nice touch and the collar is back!
Bryan O'Mara is going traveling and over to the US in the summer.
Can't blame then, good craic and a wad of cash I'd be doing the same tbh.
Bryan O’Mara and Ciaran Connolly both said to be going travelling this year and can't commit to Tipp... And yet both lined out for UL today. I'd imagine they're doing a course at the UNI... but are travelling for the year? Doesn't add up. They're not the first young men in recent years to not take on the commitment of hurling for Tipp, Jerome Cahill, for instance, needs to be openly discussed now and addressed. Surely, alternative training arrangements can be found if the most talented, career-focused guys don't want to give up all their time.
2001 inspired
Tipperary GAA has announced payments firm Fiserv as the county's new jersey sponsor in a two-year deal.
Bubbles deemed surplus to requirements. Although some people saying Bubbles himself has opted not to return to training in December and is still sitting it out. BUt Tipp Fm say, Tipperary GAA have confirmed that "he's not currently part of the management's plans for 2022". No Ciarán Connolly. Bonner returns. Odds on, this panel will change a lot. Tynan injured a few weeks ago. I'm very surprised Rhys Shelley didn't make it.

Over 40 players being looked at.
I have to say the inclusion of Sean Curran is puzzling to me. He was last in, in 2016. He is a very industrious player at inter county level - but never brought his club form to the intercounty scene. I have to say, I can't understand why Sean Hayes is not involved. But it might be the same reason, Ormonde was let go. Looks like we're going back to a direct high-ball game. Looking at players like Doody, Kian O'Kelly, and Declan Ryan's son, confirm this, I think. No Devon Ryan.
Tipperary 2-22
Wexford 0-24
Not a fan of the stadium rename but I suppose if they're getting a wad of cash which benefits the team then that's a good thing.
Its on at 1 on Sunday in Carrick on Suir
Semple Stadium is to become 'FBD Semple Stadium' 5 year deal to be announced next Tuesday and the New Tipperary GAA shirt sponsor and jersey will be revealed next week.
According to Shane Brophy
Darragh won't lack for effort but it's a big step up for him, he's young and inexperienced at inter County level so hard to know how things will work out.
Thought myself that Davy over achieved with that group of players especially in 2019 when they were arguably the second best team in the country. I've a feeling Darragh won't see those same heights but I wish him all the best and hopefully it works out.
Yourselves are playing ourselves ( Wexford) in a hurling challenge game next weekend, Tipperary venue apparently.
Think we should be happy with the Darragh Egan appointment? Heard all positive stuff so far.
