There were raucous scenes outside Croke Park on Sunday as the Tipperary team bus rolled in for the All-Ireland hurling final, with fans from both sides making their voices heard.
Video footage captured the moment the Premier County players arrived under Garda escort, greeted by chants of "Tipp, Tipp, Tipp!" from a large crowd of blue and gold supporters who had gathered early at Jones' Road.

But it wasn't all one-way traffic.
In true Munster fashion, a few cheeky jeers and boos rang out from Rebel fans nearby, giving the arrival an extra bit of edge ahead of the showdown.
The light-hearted rivalry only added to the electric pre-match buzz as supporters jostled for a glimpse of their heroes. Flags, bucket hats, and jerseys were out in force, with both sets of fans eager to soak up every minute of the big day.
For Tipperary fans, the build-up has been all about belief after an epic semi-final win over Kilkenny, and hopes are sky-high that Liam MacCarthy could be heading back to the Premier County for the first time since 2019.
Cork, however, have their own ambitions. The Rebels are bidding for a first final win since 2005 and they're chasing a record 31st title.
As the sun tried to peek through the Dublin clouds, fans continued to arrive in their droves, but the chanting had already begun long before throw-in.
