There’s many a sore head in Tipp
As on Sunday they managed to slip
More over the bar
Than Kilkenny by far
And won in the big championship

And they did it very slickly too. Yes, I think KK would have won without the sending off of Hogan but there you have it. A lot of cats had the game won before it started too which is never a good thing. Well done Tipp.
Ah c’mon Spag
Tipp were firing points from all over the field
From mad angles and from over both shoulders ffs
Even from their own 45
A half a dozen Ritchie Hogan’s wouldn’t have been able to do a bit about them
Besides
IMO anyway
Kilkenny’s previous with tackling lads helmets came home to roost with the ref not having a bit of it from them
A savage win for Tipp
They were the form side all year
And don’t deserve to have their Win yesterday doubted
Not for a second
And it was a straight red
Just cause in the Leinster Championship he’d have got away with it doesn’t make it any the less a red card
Hon’ Tipp
I don’t think so, they won by 14 points.
By 14 points pulling up, if they’d dropped the hammer they could have doubled that margin, or close enough.
Hogan vicious, fully intentional assault was a reflection of his position in Barrett’s pocket, getting the line spared him further humiliation, which may well have been the point. Given the frostiness of his reception on the line by Cody, his manager knew full well it was a well earned red. Probably the last we’ll see of him in a KK shirt, no doubt he’ll soon join Tyrrell and his ilk in the meedja, squealing “wE dOn’T fEaR tIpP!” and conducting character assassinations.
