All Ireland Senior Hurling Final 2013 - Clare v Cork

At the risk of being WRONG (god forbid!!!) I think Murphy won’t go out to midfield and will pick up Kelly if he plays in half forward line. I would think that McLoughlin will follow him at midfield. Kearney is creative, a bit like Kelly himself so I wouldn’t personally like to see that part of his game restricted.

i´d love to go on a Mad monday with you …i´d say you´re an absolute crazyhorse when you´re all hooched up !!:D[/quote]

I doubt you would. I was mad in the day, but I can’t drink shit now.

The young lads at football are all about me coming on MM after finals but they all seem to think cos I’m irish I’ll be last man standing. Whereas what’s going to happen is I’m going to have the woman on ready and I’m just going to sneak off and not tell anyone.

Think Joyce will pick him up and McLoughlin cover CB area if Kelly goes midfield

Most TFK posters will go to bed tonight with their faith in humanity crushed, their dreams and aspirations dashed having read that post. :frowning:

KC over on Clarehurlers saying Brian Murphy plays midfield (he plays center-back) for Bishopstown (he plays for Bride Rovers).

Anyway he’ll be on Collins, and Kelly will be left off.

Given the disappointing absence of @Bandage 's analysis, its hard to call this.

Cork 1-19
Clare 2-16

Cork to win the replay.

Should be epic, enjoy it lads.

Kev, will we get the Minor hurling on Setanta? Was supposed to be on the last day but they showed Rugby League highlights instead.

It’s happened us all! Yeah that’s pretty much what I reckoned, I would have said Kearney to follow Kelly due to his pace but yeah could be McLoughlin either.

Most pundits coming around to the view that the extra defender should be further out the field around half back or so, rather than in the full back line. Problem with that is if the half backs get drawn forward at all with just two on two inside those Clare inside players could be lethal which we haven’t really seem yet.

Not so sure. I would say probably not. I watch minor games on link.

Cork are going to win.

Any particular reason for this view?

Even though the thought of having to listen to them for the next 12 months, years, whatever, absolutely horrifies…

Two draws in a row. Come on Fitzy, you’re better than that!

As long as Cork don’t do something daft, like playing Brian Murphy at centreback in a man marking role and allowing the centre of the defense to be wide open like the first half of the Munster semifinal, Cork will prevail. Galway and Limerick were so poor there has to be some element of overrating Clare’s ability. Honan, not Kelly, scares me from a Cork pt of view. Clare can be trusted to underutilize him again by going short. Cork have more than enough pace from midfield forward to put pressure on the Clare defenders running the ball out/going short. They are better score takers. Pat Horgan is a better free taker than Colin Ryan. Cork by 5
Oh the glory of it!

@turfcutter is mad for road already
