John McGrath: Critics may lay off Tipperary now

Tipperary attacker John McGrath has suggested that supporters were too quick to criticise the team for past failings, particularly during this year’s Allianz League.

The Premier County is facing into a winter of content as MacCarthy Cup holders though McGrath, their Munster and All-Ireland final hero, noted that many supporters were critical of the team as recently as spring.

Tipp finished fourth in the six-team Division 1A and lost narrowly to Kilkenny, Waterford and Clare during their campaign, something that critics who questioned their ability to win tight games were quick to latch onto.
