A pity Noel McGrath wasn’t moved to midfield ten years earlier
He had about eight steps taken
This game is far from over, Conlon and Kelly wont be as poor in the second half and that wind is worth a bit too.
We have Chip right where we want them
Kelly isn’t actually doing too bad, albeit as a virtual sweeper in his own half-back line.
Duignan is as neutral as Jeremy corbyn
How many frees is Paudie Maher allowed give away before he gets a yellow card? A couple of his fouls have merited yellow even without his persistent fouling.
Clare are wasteful.
There’s a gale blowing in Cusack park
6 points isn’t bad. Kelly is having to go back to the full back line to get involved
Absolutely brilliant match. Brilliant from both teams.
This is like the 1990s Celtic v Rangers
Are you there mate?
Probably as close as we deserve to be. Very poor on puckouts, both our own and theirs; and more unforced errors on our part. Conlon would drive you mad on days when his radar is off. Went for shots a few times with options wide open inside him.
I’m in a pub in London
Colonial miles off the form of last year
Viligantly.
Ffs sake Jacki
Alan Kelly playing well for Clare.
And Noel McGrath pulling the swings
Good game. Tipp have serious hurlers. Duggan and Morey our best but we’ve had to work bloody hard there to keep it at only 6
