Clare GAA Discussion part 2 , No Purple Jumpers Allowed !!

no both teams will still be alive regardless who wins or loses next week , if cork lose they will have to go the thurles and win followed by a win at home to limerick , if cork win we will have to beat waterford and tipperary to get out of the group , scoring difference is key if teams are a few level at the end which they probably will be

cancel the barbeque its going to be a long summer yet …

davey mc was 40 yards away from his man for the 3rd goal and 35 year old john conlon trying to plug the gap , i have huge hope in john conneally to be our next center back if someone is brave enough to pick him next year in the league , lean will be a top class wing or corner back yet , for all donal og cusacks nonsense tonight after highlighting two square balls and having a pop at clare supporters he never opened his mouth about his own county dont buy into the negativity there the future is bright this year included ,

the problem is limerick withdrew men back into the middle 3rd which stopped any runs through midfield , look at the last ten minutes , david fitzgerld and peter duggan are spent , its the 11th round and they are on the ropes and limerick are only getting started ,

we had a tactic of aiming for them all game and withdrawing rodgers , o donnell out for the breaks , again barry nash , o'neill cian lynch were super fast to any breaks and our backs coped well with the delivery's from the limerick half backline up until that five minute spell after the 61st minute , taking off rodgers was stupid , and not bringing on shanagher was also stupid , but the same thing happened in the league final where we had to settle for 2 points every ten minutes for the last 20 minutes in that game too

the real problem is both ryan taylor and kelly are not fully fit yet and we had no one to give us a bit of direction , probing runs through the middle and separate that limerick wall in the half back line , taylor is only a few weeks away kelly will feature a little more promantly and the world wont look so flat next week regardless of the result , 4 points from a possible 6 is the target now

jamie is in dubai teaching , i think pearse is back next year , after his exploits in NY he plans on going on a 6 month holiday before returning home or at least that was his plan going out ,

if you happen to be in the Brooklyn area of new york at the moment , apparently every lamppost subway station has his face on it from some burn your bra femminast bar maid that he got pregnant and now not happy about it , i need to find the exact twitter page but it had 11 million views last friday and about 2000 components underneath , most to the tune of , he ugly gurl or you got to looose that zero and get yourself a hero , apparently no one knows where he has gone

the kilmurry ibrickane lads are furious that no one over in new york knows who he is as they taught he was a house hold name world wide 🙄

it appears to been deleted anyway but it was looking bad for him 😂

….

i have to say this summary which is a popular theme from clare supporters since yesterday is way off the mark , everyone building up yesterday as an important game , why ? we beat limerick last April and we all taught we were the **** , when it mattered we failed only to blame a referee for us losing

limerick are the best team in munster and in the country by a considerable distance ,

lets start with the keeper situation , it is a well known fact that foudy has the best puck out by a mile in the county and what quilligan done yesterday was no worse then the tipp game last year fair enough

conor cleary ? what did he do wrong , his man scored 1-0 from play and i dont think he gave away any scorable free , he slipped for o dalaighs goal who was supposed to be marked by adam hogan , i get the feeling that there wouldnt be as much criticism of the man had he no been from miltown malbay , maybe i am wrong

i dont see or hear any criticism aimed at david reidy who was dreadful yesterday , not just from you but in general

lohans calls on the line were also dreadful raking off rodgers leaving reidy on and brining on meehan was a serious bad call

but the hard fact is , this was a far faster far more higher standard and much tougher game then what we will get from here on out , walsh park is a small pitch , the amount of space offered up by both teams yesterday was poles apart form the game in ennis , what ever good aaron connolly looked like against that waterford defence yesterday he wont get the same space next week

the time to beat limerick is when it matters , and it will only happen with a fit tony kelly and better decisions on the sideline

Mediocre Limerick team? The worst defeat in your lifetime, this is exactly the type of hyperbolic stuff that for years follows up Clare hurling defeats

1 , Limerick got a huge break, when there was 6 points in the game with ten minutes to go

2 our greatest hurler of all time is only back from injury and hasn't pucked a ball all year

3 anyone that has been following hurling over the last 10 years should know by now that a 10 point lead with 25 or 30 minutes to go is as useful as a one point lead

4 it was the 21st of April not the middle of July people in this county got far too carried away with this fixture in the lead up to the game
