All day we were seeing people on Twitter hoping that Tipperary could 'put it up' to Dublin in today's Eirgrid All-Ireland U21 football semi final in Tullamore.
Well the Munster champions did more than that after an epic 0-14 to 0-12 win to dump the All-Ireland champions out of the competition, and reach a very first championship decider.
Led by the inspirational Colin O Riordan, Tipperary recovered from trailing by 0-7 to 0-3 at the break to win in injury time by 0-14 to 0-12, with late points Steven O' and Kevin O'Halloran.
The result echoes the famous All-Ireland minor football success of 2011 as Tipperary shocked Dublin in Croke Park, with a number of players on both sides still involved this afternoon.
