All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2024 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

Tipperary have won an all Ireland in every decade AFAIK. Hard to see it this time.

Bit of an overreaction there! Last all ireland 2019 and they qualified out of Munster last year and are in transition this year, what do you want, them to be qualifying every year? They're in the munster final in both u17 and u20, have won a minor all ireland lately and the club game is strong. They won't be down for long...realistically the sane thing will happen Limerick when their generational talents retire too...

Jesus you talk some amount of scutter in here.

Cork and Limerick have a way better points tally than Clare so it will be same as the chart you quoted.

Waterford have to batter Limerick and Clare barely lost to Tipp for Clare not to come last in a 4 points 3 way tie.

Anyone else think that the throwing reached beyond farcical levels over this weekend?

Refs, commentators, pundits, supporters seen to have given up bothering about it. Players don't even attempt a hand-pass nowadays (bar a sublime one to create a goal in the Clare game).

It really needs a rule change.

I felt certain that there were 2 or 3 thrown passes on the way to (I think) Cork's 3rd goal against Tipp? Sure half the time the referee is 40/50 yards away from the play anyway or behind the player's bodies so couldn't possibly see. So I agree a rule change is needed, because it is impossible to enforce as it currently is.

In regard to the post mentioning steps; it has gone out of control in fairness. Now steps IS enforceable but they are too picky/choosy about when they enforce it (and where on the pitch they enforce it)

I think someone alluded to it earlier, if all those technical fouls, like steps and throws were penalised with an indirect free the refs would be willing to pull them up for it more.

The game might be a bit stop startish for a couple of seasons but players would adjust to it fairly quickly. The throwing has become a bit of a farce.

There is one permutation that could cause a fair bit of confusion at the weekend.

If Wexford beat Kilkenny and Galway draw with Dublin, then Kilkenny, Galway and Dublin would all have 6 points.

In Leinster, it then comes down to the head to head records of the three tied times. In that mini league Kilkenny would have 3 points, Galway would have 2 points, and Dublin would have 1 point.

But it would be Kilkenny and Dublin that would qualify. This is because the rule states that the head to head records above are only used to determine which of the three tied teams is placed highest.

It then reverts to a head to head between the still tied teams, and as Galway and Dublin would have drawn, it would go to overall scoring difference in the group, where Dublin would have the advantage.

Some very weird posters obsessed with tipperary on this site. Tipp thread is mostly clare limerick posters at this stage.

Probably just observing 'chickens coming home to roost'.

I certainly was and even heard a few mutterings of 'Tip, Tip, Tip', which unsurprisingly fizzled out quickly. Whether we win regularly or not is relatively unimportant to Clare like most counties. We continue to support our team regardless as Cork did last Sunday and Offaly tonight. Whereas the Tipperary support has proven incredibly fragile. That's an opinion shared by most hurling supporters including Tipperary supporters that I have spoken to.

No it’s just score difference between them in the matches against each other, not wins, losses and draws
