In fairness at the start of the year I dont think anyone would have picked either Clare or Cork to be pucking a ball in September!!

I think we will get that, I feel that if Cork or Clare are beaten fair and square, then JBM and Davy are not the type of managers to try to deflect attention onto the ref.
Davy is generally happy to take all the blame himself, and JBM is a real gentleman.

(I know that Davy hinted he was unhappy with the ref after the drawn game, but I think that was exceptional and he was quite restrained. It was probably the worst refereeing display ever given in an All- Ireland)

I normally bold the part of a post that I disagree with or find silly, but I thought in this case it would be just easier to highlight the actual only part of your post that wasn't off the wall.

No way you wrote all that with a straight face?? Am I right??

Absloutley,your correct.No pundits would have said any of the two,but if you were given a choice of clare or cork,in may you would have said clare had a better chance and the way the draw worked out in the end.


A lot of pundits did say clare could win a munster,but no one even mentioned cork.

In the sunday game preview,not one said cork ,in a munster final,but felt clare would shake it up.


John mullane said cork were in dire trouble and a lot of geuine cork fans were the same,as we had so many absentees for one reason or another,and compared to last year, bar harnedy, a weaker panel.

Sweetnahm, cadogan,and paudie sul,are huge losses to cork.

Agreed. It was great work by JBM to bring them to where they are today. Galway need a figure like him over them up there I think.

And ignoring a deliberate strike to the head

He didn't see the incident, he ignored nothing.

He ignored the Clare keeper thinking he was playing a rugby match charging down a conversion.

Don't really see why lads are still on about the refereeing the last day, different ref the next day. The one thing he will be watching out for I'd say is for defenders coming off the line for pens/21s after all the commotion of the last day.

Regarding the replay, if Clare can bag a goal I think they've a great chance of winning. A goal would be a huge lift, easier said than done however.
If Clare give Nash as many chances as the last day, I'd expect a higher return than 1 for 3. That's something Clare have to cut out.

Weather should be good anyhow, tickets way scarcer than the drawn game.

Hey boys and girls,

Im over in Canada atm and every "Irish" bar isn't showing the match this Saturday :rolleyes:
Anyone else trying to watch this abroad? Or does anyone know of a reliable source where it'll be streamed? Thanks.

Agree about the tickets but the weather is promised bad

There was a lot of incidents that involved fouls on Clare players that he didn't see or chose to ignore then.

Have a look at this, http://www.yr.no/place/Ireland/Leinster/Croke_Park/hour_by_hour_detailed.html
At the moment it is potentially forecast to rain at about 18:00 with rainfall predicted by 19:00. However, this updates/changes every couple of hours...
Weather forecasting is almost as unpredictable as the result of tomorrows showdown.

As for the tickets.....

A news article that doesn't try to paint Davy as a crazed puppy-kicking arsehole that's out to crush the hopes of a bunch of gifted young hurlers with his antics.

What a breath of fresh air :rolleyes:

That rain is gone out to 8pm now, thankfully!!

Tickets got! So excited!


What's everyone's pre-match plan?
Big Tree/Quinns etc.?
It's a pity they don't play clare/cork songs before the game. There's only so many times you can listen to that same Christy Moore album on in the Big tree on repeat!

If your a cork man the Gresham hotel have all the cork fans build up to the match.

I see Cork have made one change, Cian McCarthy in for Coughlan. Perhaps McCarthy would be better to help them a grip into the game early, Coughlan can be a sub later.

Clare announce an unchanged team.
The Indo speculates that either Cathal McInerney or even Shane O'Donnell could take Honan's place.
I'd be surprised if Davy would do that to Honan after naming him to start.
But the mind goes back to 1997, when his fellow Bridge man Niall Gilligan started after not being named to keep him out of the spotlight, and that worked out well. So you never know.....

Cathal McInerney seems the best fit for Clare at the moment, especially with his two clubmates alongside him. All the talk at the moment points to O'Donnell though.

Tots would certainly add a different dimension and he'll surely do so in the future. Hard to see him featuring tomorrow however given the little game time he's had.

Can somebody recommend a particular place in London to watch this?

I'll have to jump straight on the tube to Heathrow after so somewhere west of the city centre with easy access to the Piccadilly line.

It's more christy Moore type CDs as opposed to Clare n cork songs

Well it's debatable whether "minimum of two minutes" can equate to two and a half minutes.

No it isn't.

Not like many of the Cork fans engaging in absolutes

Neither a Cork or a Clare man, but hope the trophy is heading to Clare tonight!

Has the Clare subs bench been announced yet? Haven't seen it anywhere.
We could be in for a surprise of some sort?

Da Shins Kelly

Not really invested in either team, but I'm gonna root for Clare this evening. Really hope they do it!

Hope Liam returns to Clare, without too much childish behaviour in this thread. From the looks of things, the latter certainly won't happen.

Just An Opinion

Anyone fancying a 2nd replay at 9/1?

Ace2007

Hope it's a good game, and that the Ref doesn't bottle any decisions.

Mayo_Boy

Will be rooting for Clare in this one. Hon the banner!

Diabhal Beag

I really hope this isn't going to be the Joe Canning miss of 2013. Would feel awful for Podge especially considering how brilliant he has been this year.

Podge can hold his head up high whatever happens today

Shouting for Cork today but nothing against Clare.

Tipped Cork as a serious contender back in May, no-one would listen to me

Then again, I think I was the same going into the first game yet actually found myself wishing Clare over the line at the end!

Can't wait though should be a cracker

Excellent young hurler, has had an absolute dream season. Hope he gets young player of the year.

I'd say it'll be Kelly. Three serious contenders though when you add McInerney to the mix.

Podge would've won it any other year, if Clare win Kelly might even get main award too!

In fact- if Clare win it wouldn't surprise me if both Podge and Tony made the shortlist for main award!

Gerry91

O'Donnell in for Honan I see on the twitter machine
