I thought Tipperary were awesome. They needed to be in order to beat the greatest Hurling team of the modern age. They needed to have attitude, courage & sporting intelligence to overcome Kilkenny. Seeing this as 'showboating' is wrong, just like people talk about good teams having a 'swagger'. There's point having a 'swagger' if you lose your matches.

Can't believe this rubbish I'm reading, the way he lifted the cup????????? Every All Ireland winning captain has always done that, or haven't you noticed? And Kilkenny did not ever just shake hands and go home, nor should they have

Tipp fans, enjoy your win and ignore this nonsense

Yeah, the showboating was awful. Did you see the way he lifted the cup up the crowd? It was almost like he was trying to show it off after he'd won it. Kilkenny would have just shook hands with the president and went home.

It will be a long time before Kilkenny shake hands with the president again! Theyl be going home early again though.

Ah! lower ormond is back a man who disagreed with my prediction for the last 4 months! Now he is jumping on the bandwagon with Hags and Cheese. Fickle Tipp men are now premier supporters!!

I love to see the players showing a bit of emotion myself. Not even sure I would call it showboating as such as I don't think it is strictly intended for the crowd but rather acts as a form of release of nervous energy for themselves or a means of communication to their team-mates.

Sometimes it can have the added effect of geeing up the supporters but even then it can only add to the atmosphere and as such I dont really see the harm in it.

Thanks for that Pat.... Interesting that a certain poster dosen't log on during the day anymore I wonder what could be the reason ;)

thurlesblues I hope you got on Tipp (-5) at 8/1 as I told you too! Made me a few quid anyway.

People mightn't like that touch of arrogance but at the end of the day you were spot on. Reading a different post...and you were right KK were weak down the middle and as predicted Tipp dominated all the crucial areas including midfield.

Actually maybe I will have a rant! If anyone was showboating it was the KK supporters....I was told by two in Dublin onSaturday night that they expected to kill off Tipp earlier after Tipp being such sore losers after last year ( and apparently KK didnt perform last year!). It was what they honestly believed....still though who comes out with a comment like that? And before the throw in a KK elderley man shouted out history beckons lads...Tipp havent a hope (after 10 mins the same man said I can't see us winning this!). He went home with 5 mins to go!

Don't get me wrong I don't think the KK players were arrogant or showboaters but to say Tipp were is laughable! And from Cork man! Did Setanta O'hailpin every manage to take flight after all that waving of his arms after scoring that goal described wonderfully by Cyril Farrell in the commentary?!
