Well, its the nature of opinion pieces that they are just that -opinions. however, stepping over the boundaries into lies is another matter altogether:

`Tipperary train silently behind closed doors at Thurles.`

`Tipperary on, the other hand, have apparently locked the gates.`

as mentioned above no tipp training session has been closed to the public. And why that `apparently` in the middle - is checking what you say a thing of the past now? Even their weekends away are accessible. is it the totally inaccurate assessment of the Waterford-Tipp match which has tipped HM over from being merely lazy to being a writer of untruths?

I know a man who was over there twice and failed to get in.

However I am being told now that if anyone was prepared to hang around long enough and wanted to get in, that it was pretty easy to get in.

Closed doors, open doors I dont know after that.

Is this what you have based your statement on. `I know a man who was over there twice and failed to get in`? If so you have revealed yourself as a complete charlatan and not the first cousin to a journalist - if that`s what you claim to be.

Then you follow it up with `However I am being told now that if anyone was prepared to hang around long enough and wanted to get in, that it was pretty easy to get in.` Do you think we are fools? This is as pathetic a cover-up as it gets. If it was `pretty easy to get in`, how was it `closed doors`? What is `pretty easy` anyway? So if you `wanted to get in` - you could? But your man failed twice for some reason - was it because he didn`t `hang around long enough` or didn`t want `to get in`? Was it not `pretty easy` enough for him?

I know someone who went to numerous training sessions - me - and I walked straight in each time through open doors. So did the 2-3 people with me each time. There has been NOT ONE SINGLE MENTION in the national media of anything to do with closed doors - and this is from a media starved of issues re this AI.

You are a charlatan, that`s obvious from the above, but worse when you say `Tipperary train silently behind closed doors at Thurles` you have revealed yourself as a liar.

Originally posted by stringies:

And `I note also that the same Ned has not mentioned the site that his `piece` came from` Oh you note it now do you? How impressive. but it doesnt matter a sh!te where Ned quoted from - its his facts that matter.

Originally posted by stringies:

And you have given your real name and dont hide behind a `cloth of anonymity`? You really are a moron

Originally posted by stringies:

Ned quoted a website comment. The other quote was an alleged national newspaper one. Can you tell the difference?

I have no idea who you are and thats the only relevan thing. I dont give a f**k who you are either. If you think people knowing who you are on this site gives you some cachet, you are def some flute.
The only thing thats important is that HM/SLR is a liar in relation to closed doors training.......and Tipp won the AI in any case.You are not relevant.

Up The Premier!!

That explains it then, a bitter Tipp man in the early hours of the morning. Enjoy the win and don`t let things like Henry Martins opinion get to you, have you nothing else to trouble you? Try to refute it, his opinion, without throwing insults like snuff at a wake and you might come across as being a bit credible.

Never mind making stuff up, not checking his facts and passing off third-hand rumour as proof: the worst thing by far about Mr Martin`s so-called `articles` is the fact that they read like a 12-year-old`s school composition. A C-grade 12-year-old.
Of course it is pretty ridiculous how this person is getting commissioned to write for a website, but there you go. And I suppose in fairness some of the national press are just as bad. Vincent Hogan reckons Tipp imitated the Kilkenny style to beat them...eh, no Vincent, they didn`t. That`s the whole point. That`s why they beat them.
And Jamsie O`Connor wrote a few weeks ago: "At half-time, I received a text from a colleague with whom I have often discussed this Kilkenny side. He is a knowledgeable hurling man, someone whose opinion I respect. It simply stated: `That team cannot be beaten!`"
I wonder does he feel a little silly now. Probably not as silly as Mr Martin here, but still.
