Watch the game and stop bloody moaning.

Once you adjust you can never go back!

Great to see a straight red for something like that. Clear breach of the rules and no pussyfooting with the response.

Shows the difference. Liam Dunne more interested to discuss straight away with his selectors how do they play it from here.

Were some mess out there today

Is pulling the helmet guard a red card offence? I thought it was just a yellow

Interfering with the helmet is a red card

Agree the specified red card offences should be punished accordingly, the problem is it's not applied consistently. In fact, this rule is applied less often than it is let go.

Not saying it should be, but when that happens you get people arguing it was soft.

Mantis Toboggan

All to play for in the second half. Clare possibly 35 minutes away from going out of the championship before they even get going!
Still fancy them to come back and win, even with a man down but the pressure is well and truly on.

Rules are the rules, I don't care If it's a junior b hurling team in leitrim or the all Ireland champions, he had to go.

Hurrah! finally a red card for going for the faceguard

other counties take note

I fancy clare to up their game and win by about 5 points. From a neutral pov it would be good to see Wexford hold on.

thunderthing

Anybody see why Guiney was down for so long after he came on?

Conor McDonald no? Think he's been targeted by the Clare boys.

Fireball07

Such a stupid red card, so blatant and absolutely no need for it. They can't have any complaints about that.


They had done well to cut the gap, but it'll be a big ask with 14 men... momentum was definitely with Clare at the end of the half.

Boom__Boom

Collins also seemed to strike with the hurley as well.

Mantis Toboggan

Good start to the second half here from wexford. Clare need to get a move on

Diabhal Beag

Brilliant block from Dave Mc.

Kristopherus

Poor play by Clare so far. Whats with all the soloing out of defence?

dastardly00

Wexford couldn't hit a barn door at the moment.

There's no point in them driving it down the field to where Wexford have a spare man.

Really bad wides and all they have to do is keep the scoreboard ticking over

obezyana

I wonder will the pressure get to Wexford and cause them to fold

Mantis Toboggan

All these wides will cost wexford in the end.

Definitely I think. 7 wides in the second half so far.

Diabhal Beag

Wexford will lose this by a point and it will be heartbreaking but they're terrible shooting in the last 10.

Professey Chin

Jesus Christ. Terrible wides

sammy37

wexford are throwing this away big time

Al_Coholic

Wexford should be out of sight at this stage,so many missed chances to extend their lead

Dan Chipowski

Wexford are throwing this away. Game should be done and dusted by now.

Clare, 14 or not, look appalling.

randd1

Wexford handing Clare the game, Clare to win.

If Wexford lose this, they have only themselves to blame.

Agreed, but much easier to find a man with you short pass, rather than taking it out of yourself by soloing.

Boom__Boom

Awful stuff by both sides.

The White Feather

Clare should have got a free after missing the advantage. GAA should sort out that rule

Kristopherus

Game on !!!!

Dan Chipowski

Momentum with Clare now.

rabwaygal

Wexford wides are killing them. Badly need that free to go over. Will be interesting to see how Clare manage with 14 players for the last 15 mins.

Davy has saved his subs for the end.

Go way ref ya clown.

Scandalous call against Chin there.

Two perfect decisions, first one too close to the player striking the ball, second one against Wexford was a technical foul, player put the ball down, clearly hear the referee blow the whistle, player touched the ball again with his hand, which is a foul

Mantis Toboggan

Can wexford hang on....

The White Feather

It looks sometimes that Clare have the extra player. Wexford need to sort out their tactics

Diabhal Beag

Mon Wexford
