Clare v Wexford, SHC Qualifier, Cusack Park, Ennis, 5th July, @3.45

The White Feather

If Clare win, Davy Fitz will talk about the character of this Clare team

If they lose, he will blame the ref.

Mark my words! :pac:

digzy

Clare have the momentum!

With Clare back to 15 men, is Podge Collins allowed back on, or does he have to be replaced?

Edit: Never mind, David Reidy on!

Mountainlad

Cyrils says the back should win the race. How can he? He has to watch the ball and save it, and then react, Morey would have started his run as soon as Kelly lifted it. Mindless comment.

No has to be a new player

Boom__Boom

Serious gap to extra-time ; Are the two teams gone off watching the world cup game?

He can come back on.

No he's been given a straight red.

Mountainlad

Does Shane Golden not play for Eire Og no?

Ah yes, as I suspected

marco_polo

Was it mentioned why is Morey gone off again

Nope.

Seems an odd decision if he is not injured he should still be pretty fresh as a second half sub.

Yeah for sure.

131spanner

Out of nowhere!

Mantis Toboggan

Can't believe they haven't postponed the wc until after this game.

Lovely goal for clare

Dan Chipowski

How does the full back end up wrong side there? Shocking defending.

Diabhal Beag

Beaten too easy by the turn again.

Professey Chin

Good response to the goal by Wexford

dastardly00

Great point from Chin.

Mal-Adjusted

and just like that, the clare goal was wiped out...

The White Feather

Great response by Wexford to the goal

131spanner

Next score is worth everything

Boom__Boom

Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes - can't remember the last intercounty hurling game I've seen with as many errors by players.

Great minds think alike!

Mal-Adjusted

how many wides was that in a row?

Diabhal Beag

Great save from Pa Kelly again

Professey Chin

Wexford should have about 6 goals!

Mal-Adjusted

Clare just never look dangerous in posession

dastardly00

And another save from Kelly!
He's definitely made up for his mistake with the first goal.

Boom__Boom

If it's level at the end of extra-time, do we get a penalty shootout???

Al credit to him he has definitely made up for the first goal about 5 fold

Pa Kelly save from a few mins ago, he would have been disappointed if it beat him, narrow angle

Cheers - wasnt actually serious

dastardly00

Clare had the wind in that first half of extra-time, and they hit maybe 4 wides?
If Wexford want to win, they have to make sure they don't miss chances like Clare did.

marco_polo

I think the early thread debate about whether Wexford have improved since last year has been well settled anyway

Diabhal Beag

Ger Canning is awful when it comes to calling points or wides. Just awful.

Ger: Tony Kelly with the strike.... aaaaannnndddd it sails straight over .... wide.

dastardly00

Rory Jacob, great player to bring on.

The White Feather

At times it looks like Wexford play with no forwards when they are so far away from the goal

Boom__Boom

"Does any team deserve to lose it?" asks Ger - I'd be saying neither side deserves to win it.

Lapin

Where are the Wexford forwards ?

Diabhal Beag

Ah Wexford. Some of those long balls into nowhere reminded me of Galway at their worst, some of the wides were embarrassing but my God did ye make this a thriller of a game. Didn't deserve to win or lose.

Will you go away with that bollox talk.

Boom__Boom

RTE pundits nonsensing on that it was a "great advertisement for the game"

Just because a result is close doesn't mean it was a good game.

Out of the close to 40 players out there how many had a good game?

megapixel

Great game of hurling

The White Feather

Darach Honan looked like a world beater years ago but now his touch is terrible. He missed an easy chance to win the game also.

What happened to him? Sad to see him look so bad in that game

dastardly00

Sometimes I wonder how Darach Honan is on the Clare panel. He has an awful first touch!

Mountainlad

Here's hoping tonight's game is as good, with a bit more quality. Thought Wexford did play good hurling first half but died badly. Still hung on, they had the goal chances to win those games. Even if they taken any of those wides they would have won. I hope they haven't missed their chance.

Clare's first touch first half was scandolous. Can any Clare fans that were at the game tell me was Paul Kinnerk in attendance?

What do you mean ?

That was the worse game of intercounty hurling I've seen in years - the amount of individuals errors by players was off-the-scale.
