It’s good to talk: Michael Ryan ends media blackout

Tipperary manager Michael Ryan admits his side “have not found our rhythm” but is confident of turning things around.

Having refused to speak to journalists after Sunday’s Munster SHC defeat to Limerick, Ryan gave an interview to Tipp FM yesterday where he explained the media blackout was pre-planned and not influenced by the result.

The Tipperary hurling manager confirmed he would engage with the media for the remainder of the championship, but felt under no obligation to make it known before the Gaelic Grounds fixture that he wouldn’t be undertaking post-match interviews.
