Asal Mor:
Was watching some old matches from the late eighties there. Cork v Tipp Munster finals 87, 88, 89 and Tipp v Antrim 89 All- Ireland final. Some great games especially those Munster finals and some amazing scores from Niicky and Pat Fox in particular. The atmosphere at these games was really intense especially as the Tipp crowds seemed to spend the last 20 minutes gathered behind the opposing team's goal, invading the pitch every time their heroes got a score. It's a good way to end a famine i suppose and sorry for dragging it up again after all these years but I was just curious about why it happened so often. Are Tipp people more passionate about the game than everyone else or are they just an unruly bunch of savages with no regard for rules, fair play and decency?

Poor ould Tipp spent a long time trying to break out of Munster. I thought they would do it in 84 but it was not to be.

They're going well the last few years though seafoid. Consistently putting it up to The Big 2. That's where I'd like to see Galway get to.

This year is make or break for Tipp. 3 all Ireland finals and only one in the bag is a poor enough show

I think in Justin McCarthy's book he wrote about his time coaching Cashel King Cormacs that even in the changing room the players would be talking about who won what U-10, underage game the previous evening whereas when he'd coached in other counties there'd be far more banter about English soccer and the likes.
Met a few Toomevara lads in New York and they were away with the birds altogether, so a bit of both Asal.
