Tipperary fan Pat Shortt meets Cork supporter who got All-Ireland champs tattoo
Pat Shortt couldn't resist getting a selfie with the Cork fan who was so confident his county would win the All-Ireland that he got a tattoo crowning them champions before Sunday's final. Tipperary produced a stunning second half display at Croke Park to run out winners by 3-27 to 1-18 to bring the Liam MacCarthy Cup to the Premier County for the first time since 2019. Prior to the decider, Cork fan Michael John Murphy, uber confident that his beloved county would win, got a tattoo that read: "Cork All-Ireland Senior Hurling Champions 2025." 'We're 20 years without an All-Ireland title so I was always going to get something to commemorate the win this year,' he told The Irish Examiner ahead of Sunday's game. 'I already have four or five other tattoos, including one of a hurler on my left shoulder, with a flash of red going through the helmet, for Cork, along with the names of my son, daughter and grandson, so it's only natural I'd get this one.' Comedian and Tipperary native Pat Shortt bumped into Michael over the weekend and got a selfie with him, writing online: "We tried rubbing it off last night. Condolences to all Cork Fans especially this one. But fair play to him he was great craic." The Rebels' wait for All-Ireland glory will now at least stretch to 21 years, with a scheduled homecoming for the players at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Monday evening cancelled following their defeat.
