Am I right in saying that this will be the first competitive hurling game under lights? Should bring a nice crowd this?

Does anybody know will it be on TV?

Tipp play Dublin next sat at 7 30 in Castleknock in a challenge. They also play them on the 28th in the league at Parnell Park. The Kilkenny game is on the 20th in Thurles in front of possibly 20 thousand. They hammered us in the league, beat us after extra time in the league final and with the help of the referee robbed us in the All Ireland final. It would be great if we beat them 3 times this year

The reason ye got bet in the AI final was a combination of Benny Dunnes tramp acting,not taking your chances when they arose and the fact that Tipp were not good enough.
If the penalty is what you are referring to as being "robbed" then may I remind you that the winning margin was 5 points   (2 points more than than what the penalty was worth   )   
Don`t forget we will have Hickey and Cha back this year as well and as you are probably aware both of those lads are under 30 and I`d say have more All stars than the whole Tipp team combined.
Take your batin,accept that the cats are a superior outfit and don`t be so ungracious in defeat.
Good lad

Good God ye are very sensitive when ye are told the truth__-must be a guilt complex. It was not just the penalty__also the frontal charge on Seamus Callinan__ the faceguard pulling by Richie Power on Padraig Maher __the at least two incidents of helmet interference on John OBrien and Benny Dunne by Tommy Walsh__the blatant push on Paul Curran before the second goal and the 65 we should have got. Hopefully the so called law of swings and roundabouts will work this year.

Ah poor auld Seamus Callinan.I thought it was poetic justice after dislocating Hogans shoulder in the league final.Its very easy to drive into a lad when he is wide open when reaching for a loose ball.There`s an example of swings and roundabouts,for ya.He gives one and gets one back.Its senior hurling those lads are playing,not volleyball.

Interfering with face guards? You must be joking me??
All Tommy and Ritchie were doing was trying to straighten them up for your boys.
At least the Kilkenny lads didn`t try and drive the bars out through any of your players faces,did they?
As regards the 65...So what? If they got it and scored, along with the penalty that makes 4 points.
We won by 5 and I have no guilt complex but I`m starting to come to the conclusion that you have a persecution one!

P.s...This auld s**e about turning points and so forth is a load of cobblers.Tipp couldn`t close the game because they were not able to...FACT.

Mmm..as a Tipp man I tend to be of the opinion that we left it behind us and have ourselves to blame, but interestingly enough from your post while you had a swipe at each point on Michaels post, you didn`t actually disagree that:

*Callinan wasn`t fouled
*65 wasn`t given
*Face guards weren`t interfered with
*Penalty was soft.

A lot of KK fans will agree with above, just as most Tipp fans will agree that we should have closed game out.

formosa, agree with you. Ive said it here before, KK won the match and the refs decisions had nothing to do with them so good luck to them. Tipp lost mainly becos they missed two goals. Dunne is a tramp no doubt.
but how come KK lads cant accept that some of their lads can be dirtbirds? Its always different when a KK hurler is dishing it out, Its `not volleyball` then but when it hapens to them its `easy to drive into a lad when he is wide open`. Not to mention ignoring the fact that one was a foul in front of the posts and the other no free at all. Im not even going to start on Kirwans telling fibs in that interview about the Callinan tackle, its not the point here..
but we can discuss these things if we wish and its a bit rich to listen to accusations of whinging from a county whose manager said `Cork bet us, not Tipp` back in 91. can you imagine what would be said if Sheedy came out with that? But it prob wasnt whinging then, just manly hurling talk.

Anyway, the match. What is the likelihood of getting two strongish teams lined out for this one?

Even if Ballyhale lose next Sunday, is it likely any of them will feature in this match? , And I read something from Liam Sheedy a few weeks ago about him given runs out in the league to his new squad players and players from last years squad who did not feature a lot.

Its always hard to predict how teams will approach League matches, but these two normally take the league serious, last years Nowlan park game seems to have been a freak, as Tipp had won the previous two league meetings between the two and the league Final was a very close affair.

Hope the league gets off to a cracker this year, as I think the format is very good, having all the top teams in one group, it was just unlucky that the last round last year was a dead duck.

Jackie Tyrrell`s full frontal 1 point

If correct decisions had been given by referee on those it could have counted for 9 points.
While Benny gave a dirty blow in the match that deserved a red he has given great service to Tipp and Toom and does not deserve to be called names by someone called stringies

Originally posted by stringies:


Well maybe I`ll change my name and call him a tramp then, would that improve matters? His service has got nothing to do with it. Hickey has given wonderful service to KK and i regard him as a tramp too. the colour jersey should have nothing to do with it.
Maybe youre right, formosa, and this is just a place for s**e talk. we can but try. And yes, the quote was Ollies at the homecoming. Im not worked up about that btw, couldn`t care less what he said. I knew Ollie in his later years and he was as sound as could be. Just that its gas to hear lads from kk reverting to `whinging` accusations whenever aspects of matches that they dont want to hear about are discussed.
