All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

That interview would contradict his statement about not being sensitive on Sunday night!!

I think it was a fair question, they lost to Limerick and Cork by a combined 30pts last year. It must be the first time Tipperary kept on a manager that had those sorts of results for another year.

However, it was totally vindicated in the end. And fairplay to their County Board, their players and Cahill and his management team for turning it around. It's a remarkable achievement in 1 year.

Ger Canning is good. Marty is insufferable.

watching back the all-ireland, there's a bit at the end where alan connolly is in on goal and handpasses to nowhere, prob thought he was going to be hooked. then goes to get that ball and falls over trying to rise it off the ground. game was over then but still: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN_snfMp-Bo&t=4148s

I dunno. I kind of felt that even though tipp were holding their own that cork were getting their scores a lot handier and there was an inevitability about the powering on after getting the goal. Was flabbergasted by the extent of the turnaround even before tipp got the goal and the red card. Wasn’t expecting to see anything like that at all.

I don't think the turnaround was that much of a surprise, the extent it was for sure. There was a stiff enough breeze going down towards the canal end that Cork really struggled with, and they had no plan B. There was only a score in it when Downey got the line, then Corks heads went and the floodgates opened.

Don't forget the exact same thing happened to Tipp before vs KK, the same day Lar Corbett was trying to piggyback Tommy Walsh. Tipp were ahead at HT that day and lost by 18pts! And Tipp had 15 players for the whole game. That was a team that had leaders like Brendan Cummins, Paul Curran, Paudie Maher etc... it can happen to any team.

The Cork collapse was remarkable but it is being over hyped when you take into account the wind, the man down and their tactical folly. If they manage this loss in the right way Cork could be a very dangerous team next year.

I am a tipp man and I am delighted we won but before the final I thought Tipp had a great chance of winning as I did Clare last year.
I honestly believe for the next few years that there is very little between cork Clare tipp limerick and Kilkenny.
But if Cork do want to win an all Ireland, the Cork squad need to accept there just another contender and nothing more. Stop believing their own hype. To not attend the homecoming is just more arrogance.

Sheflin and Brennan physically roughed up a very young Seamus Hickey at CB. When Sheflin was going off injured he gave Hickey a slap in the arse with tge hurl out by the sideline. Never warned to either afterwards.

That team is finished regardless and they all know it . Like a boxer who loses a few fights on the go, confidence is drained and will never be restored. This Cork team are not as good as what everyone thought they were. Massive mistake for Pat Ryan to stay on, he is a super nice guy but he hasn't got it tactically. They need new approach new. Only way and start again.

The 07 final is probably remembered as a hammering mainly because kk were up 2-3 to no score after ten minutes, including the two goals in a minute from Brennan and shefflin. Limerick did well to settle back into that match as well as they did, would have been easy to be shell shocked.

Someone bringing up Seamus Hickey again, I've never understood why there's so much cribbing about it, even eighteen years later, there was nothing done to him that you wouldn't see happen to any other player in an all Ireland final. Brennan gave Lucey a much dirtier belt to the chin in the first few minutes than anything that was done to Hickey, should have been booked, but lucey got on with it like a man.

So you want to drop the entire panel or just Pat Ryan? Or both? A bit silly, this team did won a munster title and were impressive in doing it. Doing something crazy like starting from square one would set ye back years.

So do you think a team of complete failures are going to turn it around and win an All Ireland after whats happened?

Ah look creathur I know your upset, but it's unfair to call them complete failures after winning the first munster title on 7 years. I didn't say they'd win an AI next year or anything but a complete gutting of the team would be very silly. A few of theo older players sure, but not the whole team.

Should have been red for Brennan.

Are there any real leaders in the team? I wouldn't count Hodgie as one the way he was goading the Tipp keeper. They probably need a Caroline Curtis figure in the backroom team.

I agree with you. Cork have no standout leader. Hoggie shouldnt have got involved in that goading crap I agree. He really should have been worried about making sure Cork were keeping the scoreboard ticking over and remained focused when Cork were in a good position going into half time. I know Cork werent playing particularly well but if you told me at the start of the game that Cork would be 6 points up at half time I would have taken it no doubt.
