Clare v Wexford, SHC Qualifier Replay, Wexford Park, 12 July @ 17.00 RTE 2

Should know better than that stupid from Bugler

The White Feather

Thats not a square ball!!!

STB

Desperate decision by the referee from miles away from the action. It was a goal.

Dan Chipowski

Was outside the square and made a clean connection with the ball.

Absolutely disgusting decision by the ref.

Boom__Boom

that one that trickled over the sideline counts as another wide.

niallo27

If that's a red card. A normal game will end 10 players a side.

Browney7

A lot of controversial decisions. A red card and a disallowed goal and a goal that should have been given.

Awful shooting by Wexford. You'd imagine Clare's classier players should be better able to score from distance with the wind to kick on and win even with the man less

The White Feather

As much as Wexford have hit really bad wides, Clare have been playing very poor.

If that goal was allowed, they would be behind

STB

I am guessing the lads from the Clare Champion wont be hanging around the tunnel today.

Well McDonald was either going for a point from an impossible angle, or else he was playing the ball into the full-forward..... Except that he is the full-forward.

Dan Chipowski

Bugler's strike looked worse as the play had more or less come to a standstill when he dug with the hurl. Stupid thing to do in fairness.

Fireball07

Do we know what that goal was disallowed for, I was watching on mute, do they know?

I wonder do they get special "danger money" for reporting on matches involving Davy?

It's a yellow card every week though. Why is it a red today.

Nope - everyone puzzled.

Just ****e referring. Was probably worried about his safety walking past Davy at HT and wanted to pacify him.

A butt of the hurley into the stomach off the ball is a red card every day of the week, **** knows what sport you are watching.

Just seen the replay definate red card no question.

It was a sending off I thought. Deliberate strike straight in front of the ref when play was stopped. He had to go.

Red card every day of the week, especially
That close to the ref!

niallo27

It was a sending off by the Letter of the law, but if that happens tommorrow it won't be a red card. No consistency.

I think these would suit you

BQQ

Wexford have a chance now.

Their backs and midfield are well on top and they'd be well clear if they could shoot straight

dastardly00

That was Wexford's best bit of play in the whole match.

Browney7

Jacob might add a bit of quality to the wexford team. He's a great hurler

Maybe if it happens off the ball and umpires and ref aren't 100% sure what happened. When the whistle is gone, the ref is 5 yards away looking right at you, lashing the butt hard into someone's ribs who isn't expecting it is a cheap cowardly and stupid thing to do. Ref had zero options.

It's the clearest red card we will see all year.

If Clare do go out, it will be their shocking indiscipline and loss of control across the two games which will be at fault. The reaction to both sendings off was the same, they are shocked for getting sent off having given the ref no option at all.

Davy will be out afterward saying this is another one that just shouldn't be a red card and it's terrible etc etc. instead of just drilling some simple discipline into his team.

beggars_bush

Hurling referee is terrible.

Disallowed a goal
Wouldn't let a quick sideline.

Some Clare players get away with 9/10 steps with the ball

Making ****e up now. Pa Horgan was sent off for a lot less last year in the same fixture - explain that.

Is Conlon allowed take as many steps as he wants?

The ref had a Half time Clare, Full time Wexford coupon in his back pocket.

Haha. When I saw Wexford had a strong breeze I bet on them to be leading at half time. Not to be

dastardly00

Unless Wexford get a couple of goals, I can't see them winning is.

Yeah. Must be

Professey Chin

Browne could easily be gone soon

Like now O_O

beggars_bush

Davy will be livid

Boom__Boom

Clare down to 13

STB

Jack Brown going off. Indecisive ref.

dastardly00

I still think Clare will win.

Surprisingly restrained...

Browney7

I think Jack Browne would have to take out a gun and shoot someone to get booked again. Edit Just sent him off on the advice of Barry Kelly.

Davy would be entitled to be fuming with Barry Kelly telling the ref. Can't for the life of me see why Johnny didn't send him off of his own volition though

fta93

Glad the ref took his time to make the decision, as the lino was much closer to the incident.

I think he couldnt find him there for a bit when trying to give him the 2nd yellow.

marco_polo

Bizzare way to give him the yellow but the call to take him off earlier should have been made by Davy

Professey Chin

Do Wexford actually practice shooting at all?

Boom__Boom

Great Drama; Terrible Hurling

No he didn't. He hadn't a ****en clue what's going on.
