tis some Holdaaaaay camp in there kid

Theyâve rattled Limerick in theit last 2 meetings, particularly last year after a dreadful leinster final and an indifferent quarter final.
Cleary and Conlon both look set to start Sunday. Hard to have a huge amount of confidence either are anywhere near right or will hold up but given how crucial both are I donât think you have much of an option but to start them and see how it they hold up.
I would think starting Conlon seeing he was in hospital 24 hours after with concussion shows poor player welfare. I suppose it is his own decision.
Yeah it is a difficult one - If he passes the protocols and says he is fit and is back training- which is looking like the case then what can you do?
Realistically it shouldnât be in the players hands though.
It definitely shouldnât. One of the biggest games of his life. Of course heâs going to say heâs feeling grand.
Thatâs the key point.
Iâd see him as a less of a man if he didnt tog.
If he passed the protocol, itâs not in his hands though. What are they supposed to do?
âYouâve passed all the official protocols, how are you feeling?â
âPerfect, desperate to playâ
âWell youâre notâ
And theyâd hardly not ask him either. Thatâd be worse.
Exactly. No doctor is going to pass him off as fit to play if he isnât.

Galway manager Henry Shefflin will be without Jason Flynn for their upcoming All-Ireland semi-final against Limerick after the forward suffered a serious hamstring injury in training.
Flynn came on and scored a goal in the Leinster final defeat and was introduced from the bench against Tipperary during their quarter-final victory.
Speaking to Galway Bay FM, Shefflin confirmed the 2017 All-Ireland winner is set to be out of action for three months.
âJason came back the Tuesday night after the Tipperary match and lit it up in training, to be honest,â Shefflin said.
âBounced into training Thursday night and did a bad hamstring injury which is very unfortunate. He is going to be out for up to three months. It is a loss for ourselves but a massive loss for his club Tommie Larkins and hopefully, heâll be back in time for them to still be in the championship.
âFor ourselves, it is very disappointing. Jason is a great character around the group and brings great energy to the group. Iâm sure the lads were very disappointed because he is such a wonderful hurling talent and when he is a flow, he just lights up the place and he can do magical things.â
Galway take on Limerick on Saturday, July 8 with throw-in at 6pm. It is a rematch of last yearâs semi-final. Limerick prevailed 0-27 to 1-21 on that occasion.
âIt is very disappointing for us but that is why we spoke all year about the strength of the group and the strength of the panel. It is really an opportunity for someone else to come on and take that. Whether it is into the 26 or into the team.
"That is the way sport goes. We just have to roll with it and get on with it.â
Jayo was just about to score 2-5 off the bench too. Hard to see us coming within three digits of Limerick now.
Advantage Galway
Rumours from the Clares. Advantage KK
This is a great thing for Galway. Jason has played well the last two games. Just when you expect him to play well he will shit the togs.
Heâs only a sub. Hardly a âhuge blowâ
The Galway fans give Flynn scandalous abuse in my experience.
At last yearâs Semi Final these red knecks from Kiltormer or some place in the heart of Mattie-Land were calling him a âfucking ballerinaâ.
It was very unbecoming i thought.
