While Ireland were fumbling and flailing out in bleak Serbia, the Tipperary team were bathing in the adoration of the crowds down in Thurles. An enormous crowd gathered on the pitch in Semple Stadium to salute the team who we like to call "the champions of fuckin' Ireland".
Here are some pictures and some videos from a great night.

Queen's 'We are the Champions' was almost drowned out by the chants of 'TIPP, TIPP, TIPP'.
