Tipperary beat Cork for the first time in 72 years and everyone went crazy

It's the shock of the summer so far by some distance.

Tipperary withheld a second-half onslaught from Cork to win by 3-15 to 2-16 and take their place in the Munster Football Championship final against Kerry in Killarney on July 3. That's right. Football. It was Tipp's first victory over Cork in football since 1944, and it will cause much soul searching in the Rebel County. Cork had come from nine points down to draw level in the final minute, but Tipp's Kevin O’Halloran held his nerve to kick a 45 and a free in injury time to seal a famous victory. Unsurprisingly, the result caused a minor meltdown on the internet. https://twitter.com/KCsixtyseven/status/742025335210938371 https://twitter.com/browne_keith/status/742030371215282176 https://twitter.com/Mark_Dinan/status/742026144304746496 https://twitter.com/RobertAnglim/status/742025432128720896 https://twitter.com/tonyleen/status/742025574470803457 https://twitter.com/collgins/status/742026173526507520 https://twitter.com/unofficialgaa/status/742025264054554625 https://twitter.com/manning_tomas/status/742026289075392512 https://twitter.com/Donal_lane/status/742026459921981440
