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

Might be true but it's easier say it when you just won.

Cork need more than a shrink. They got 2 bad beatings this year. More a case of a shortage of overall quality

You have a point.

Look. It's hardly just donal og was saying that. Tipp supporters obviously didn't see much fight last year either as they didn't show up to support the team.

I hate this thing where people are wise after the event and pick up on things a pundit said last year or 6 months ago. People can only comment on what they have seen, not what might happen in the future.

Richie hogan is getting a few digs because he said ronan Maher would be the only tipperary player to make the cork team after the league final. He was only going on the evidence in front of him though.

So after a senior hurling match Donal Og was commenting on the lack of fight in the entirety of hurling in Tipperary or was he talking about the senior hurling team which seems a lot more likely ?

Ah yes I should be looking closer to home, to posts on an anonymous forum from people such as….checks notes….PeggyShippen the great Limerick supporter from Clare.

All comparable of course to a former Cork hurler, now pundit and journalist with a national audience who couldnt wait to put the boot in when we were at our lowest, on national television.

He is an intelligent man who choses his words carefully. Ambiguous where he needed to be he used the loss as the backdrop but instead of saying the fight had gone out of this Tipperary team or that this Tipperary Setup need to have a good hard look at how they are operating he said "is the fight gone out of Tipp" "where were all their supporters today, Tipps a hurling county?". Doesn't sound like he was just aiming it at the team there.

There was, believe it of not, about 10,000 Tipperary supporters in Thurles that day. More than bothered turn up for most Leinster matches.

So forgive me for taking pleasure in seeing a pundit from a rival counties two footed attack on a Tipperary backfire.

Shur last year was shocking from tipp. Cahill admitted himself they got the s /c wrong.

Can't say I thought we would win last Sunday or even dream about it at start of the year. Pundits did seem to ignore tipp were the form team as in had won 5 matches in a row against some good teams. Pundits predicting easy cork wins and how many tipp playets would make cork team was bIt disrespecting however. Tipp almost always play well in all irelands and was very different tipp team to that in league final.

But yeah cahill was under pressure this year but now will never have that again in tipp after delivering such an unlikely all ireland.

Yep was a nice one tbf. I have no doubt ye will win one in next couple years and it will be all the sweeter, I hope its Pat Ryan who guides ye to it. Think hoggie may need to be benched at minimum though.

I think a lot of people were guilty of underestimating tipp tbf, even after impressive wins over galway and kilkenny. Probably guilty myself of getting caught up with the big wins earlier in the year too.

Anyway you're right. Tipp usually play well in all ireland finals and the future looks bright for them.

Even when ye get beaten out the gate, 15 points, you can't resist having a pop at Tipp. Facts are facts and as you know i pointed it out weeks ago, the hype Cork built up around themselves and you denied it, helped,as in predicted, bring about their downfall.

Don't know how a team that isn't good enough can make it all the way to extra time in the final.

They are good enough which in a way is kinda worse.

Well clearly he can't get this team to gel anyway. Allowing aging prima Donna's to upset the dressing room is not good enough.
