Very sad news of the passing of Corks Teddy McCarthy, RIP.
Gearoid will probably not make Offaly but should we beat them, he should be back for QF - is what I was told today.
Very unfortunate for O’Connor if true when he was just establishing himself,hopefully he back for the semi final/ final
One joe Caesar is mad enough but a second one is even more unbelievable……and if from different clubs as said above there is a good possibility that they are unrelated…?
And Mary I player
Good hurler
Joe Caesar on the under 20's is a Holycross man.
There was another Joe C playing with Tipp underage too. Must be 20 years ago. Played during Eoin Kelly's time. The new one might be a son. Just a guess. But the older one was a Killenaule man.
Think it's Fagan now that you mention it.
What was Lyons at there?Hard to see clearly in the clip
Played with the under 20's this year
Over the years Tipp have had a few peculiar names in their squad……Anyone recall the roman sounding ‘Joe Caesar’……?
With a name like that I'd imagine so.
Scummy thing to do
Do any of you know if Rhys Shelly has any welsh heritage….?
Muppet, at least he'll have 9 months to think about it.
Rotten from Fagan
Austin Gleeson was substituted in the 2016 Munster Final and actually won Hurler of the Year that year.
And we were walloped by Cork in Munster when winning the AI in 10. Didn't matter a fcuk.
In 2019, we beat Cork, Clare, Waterford, Limerick, Laois, Wexford and Kilkenny. The only good county we didn't actually beat was Galway. We could barely beat anybody else we had beaten so many teams.
Strangely enough, hurler of the year is decided on the basis of more than one game. Think the clue is in the "year" bit, rather than Hurler of the Munster Final. But you let us know.
Ya but in fairness ye got absolutely walloped in the Munster final. Even the hurler of the year gong was a bit of a joke that year with Noel McGrath been nominated despite he been dragged ashore in that final
I'll wait for proper conformation. I saw that Premier View tweet but I wouldn't read too much into it until Tipp say something.
At the time it was hard to tell if it was the slight drop off from the grass pitch into the astro surface that caused him to roll it, or if he made heavy contact with the camera.
I know myself that with ankle injuries, you can be full sure it's a break but it's just a bad sprain. He could still be back in 6 weeks with a very small fracture and a sprain, so even if theres actually a break it's not necessarily "season ending".
He would be a big loss. He has been great this year.

Cork were very, very lucky to get the draw with us, we outplayed them for the majority of the game. Their crowd was colossal for them in the final 10 minutes.
And we got the same lack of fairness from the officials against Limerick as Cork will claim they had v Limerick, we should have won that too.
Honestly I find it pretty hilarious, Cork are building and no shame in them coming 4th after a few close efforts - with plenty even bemoaning the Championship structure because they are gone. Yet us, in the exact same building scenario, are "lucky" to still be here, our injuries and young panel completely ignored by every "pundit" but Joe Canning on TSG, and seemingly it would be no loss to the Championship if we were gone. Fcuk them.
It's the same kind of rubbish that people trotted out in 19 when Limerick should have "won the Championship" despite losing 3 games in it.
I'd be surprised if that's true.
We need to forget about the likes of that muppet Lynch, forget about who's out for the season and get ready for Offaly. Also to approach this as anything other than a high octane knock out championship match would be disastrous. We now know that on our day we can beat anyone so let's go and f*****g do it!
I wonder what part of Tipperary 4 points, Cork 3 points is he struggling with?
Crikey, so disappointing for both. Gearoid on a breakout year and Brian getting a bit of traction again.
Both big losses. It's been a disappointment that Brian couldn't nail down a place in the team. He always seemed to be made from the right stuff, tremendous heart.
Word is Gearoid and Brian gone for the season.
Did yesterday's incredibly flat performance look anything like Waterford last year?
We were within a whisper of going out if the game in Limerick was a draw, yet we did the same things for the 70 minutes. In the second half you could see Ronan trying to push up to negate their sweeper for puck outs but we were very disorganised.
The number of times Waterford worked the ball up the field and got shots off without ever being pressured by Tipp was shocking. Calem Lyons looked like he'd bribed the whole Tipp team in the first half. strangely we played similar tactics against Waterford in the second half of the league game, loads of long ball down the field.
Management are very lucky that Cork couldn't get an equaliser. If we were out of the championship this morning things would have a very different feel.
The back door will suit us well, another high octane game isn't what we need right now, the opportunity, hopefully to beat Offaly especially the three week break and the chance to gain some momentum will be welcome.
Unless Morgan is flying in training I wouldn’t be starting him, possibly last 15 minutes if we're winning comfortably. Niall O'Meara I'd possibly start, brings a bit of much needed pace to the half forward line. Callanan badly needs more minutes, still not as sharp as he can be.
Should we beat Offaly we'll have another week turnaround to Galway or Kilkenny. Something we struggled with the last day. Would it be wise to keep a couple of players in reserve? Risky but if we cannot beat Offaly missing two or three well then we're going nowhere anyhow.
Ger Browne is out for the season. He does have the leg tattoos alright.
With our lengthy injury list anybody is a loss. Morgan, Heffernan, Browne, Cadell, Ciaran Connolly and Niall O'Meara would all have gotten loads of minutes. Looks like Morgan and O'Meara will be in contention for minutes against Offaly which is great news. We need as many back as we can get and get minutes into them.
When you look at those names and throw Forde, Morris, Barrett, Gearoid O'Connor and Brian McGrath onto the injury list - it can't be coped with. These 3 weeks will be a godsend.
