I’d give them a chance; I think the likes of Montgomery, Kiely & Nolan could be useful players too.
But the team won’t be anything like that, I imagine. Even Mark Fitz is a bit wasted at corner-back, has the hurling to play higher up but at least he lets you build from the back.
First thing he did when he came on at half time yesterday Montgomery was a stupid foul and a handy point for Wexford to cut the gap and keep their momentum going. The goal he missed I’d have scored with my Mickey.
Again just in front of me for the throw in after half time three of our forwards stood in a clump on the left side touch line. Looked ridiculous and classic Davyball. Obviously some kind of pre prepared move for when we won the throw in. We didn’t win the throw in.
This shite is an inherent part of davyball. Do something innovative but totally ignore what happens if the opposition get the ball.
Clare scored a goal in Thurles last year against Waterford when your full backline were all up past the 45 for some reason. You wouldn’t see it in an U10 game.
If memory serves me correctly Davy once sent on Eoin McGrath in an All Ireland semi final with the express purpose of trying to get Tommy Walsh sent off. Tommy just laughed at the good of it and continued to lord it.
I was in the canal end that day and Eoin Murphy, Prendergast and Kearney all went straight in and kicked their opponents as the game was about to start. Richie Power was levelled by McGrath too if memory serves me correct. Real stupid shit. They were warming up on the Hogan stand side and shouting and roaring and lepping about.
Fitzgibbon to 11, Roche to midfield and Eoin Downey there somewhere would be my changes to that.
I reckon Meade will start. An awful pity Ethan Twomey got injured - I feel he could have a starting spot nailed with consistent gametime.
Coleman and Robbie should strengthen that team further. Both definite starters if fully fit. I think we could see both start the Clare game if their recoveries go according to plan.
Tis gas the amount of fellas who think they know more about intercounty management than a man like Davy who has an amount of game plans in his back pocket to play the game.
Ah I think it will suit their running game a lot more. They turned Waterford over there 2 years ago. That being said it was after Waterford list to Limerick and they had turned on Cahill. I certainly wouldn’t take a Cork win for granted though. They have Tipp at home as well.
ah yes, the final, read fagans post too quick. Tommy Walsh had the helmet pulled off him (wayhey) before the game started, but dont think that was McGrath alright. I remember thinking these lads were going to get hammered going at that craic. Utter stupidity.
