Tipperary vs. Kilkenny All-Ireland Semi-Final, Croke Park, 19th August

[Colombia]

Don't know much about Paudie O'Neill other than that he played U21 hurling for Tipp alongside Eamon O'Shea in the late 1970s. Apparently he's a headmaster too so I'd expect discipline to be a feature of the new regime. Have no idea who the physical trainer will be.

Haven't heard of any voluntary defections from the squad either. No doubt there'll be some changes anyway with some new blood infused. Sure we can shorten the Winter here arguing about it anyway.

Paudie O'Neill also played football for Tipperary for a number of years and captained Clonmel Commercials to a County title in 1982.   In his playing days, he would have been regarded as more of a footballer than a hurler.  He hurled with St. Mary's for a number of years.  He has been teaching in Dublin for many years.

Some talk down this way that Lar Corbett is bringing out a book in the next week or so.  I can't see the new Tipp management being too happy with that if it is true.

Appears to be wringing out every last drop out of his current stock value, shrewd enough character. Saw a Lar Corbett sports van in Ballinascreen last Sunday.

He seems like a man desperate for a few quid.

He's an Electrician,we are all desperate for a few quid nowadays.

I thought his electrician days were behind him after he got the bar in Thurles.

Maybe so I dunno,I haven't met him in a while.Use to know him pretty well as we use to work for the same company a few years ago.
He was a far better hurler than he was an Electrician.

At one point in the extract from the book in yesterday's paper, Lar said "I don't mean to sound like a whinger" and then proceeded to whinge at length. Thinks big bad Jackie should treat him a little nicer.

[Onlooker]

Those 2 pages in the Sindo yesterday were pretty bad all right.  Not a good reaction at all so far here in Tipperary.

The way he screwed a fuse into a box and the way he unraveled a roll of cable. Terrible it was!

Very good interview with Lar Corbett from Off The Ball Tuesday night, makes his points very well. Funny around 4:35 he's talking as if yapping to a mate  in the pub.
