Clare Gaa 🐐 Thread mark II

Bugler was the coach in 2022 and 2023 and Aidan Harte last year.

Conor Ryan, the 2013 centre back is doing the coaching. He has been involved with development squads in recent times but in peripheral roles. Has very little coaching experience. Now he may well develop into a fine coach in time but the team certainly doesn’t look particularly fluid on the ball or well coached without it.

Why have Clare changed their jersey halfway through the season?

Some have been saying that they reverted to last year’s but the current one is the same as the one at the start of the year minus the blue sleeves.

They’re a superstitious sort below in Clare; they probably believe the new jersey is cursed or something

Eddie Lenihan declared it was possesed by fairies

Disagreement with Sleeve sponsor over payment amounts?

Volvo? It’s still on the sleeves.

Extremely odd so. Perhaps something players have commented on in terms of colour clashes?

Under age teams using the blue sleeves

It’s hardly a marketing gimmick, is it? Release a jersey for the league and another for the championship.

O’Neill’s and the retailers make the vast majority of revenue from these anyway. Counties get a miniscule amount.

What was the nature of Stritch’s injury in the extended panel session after the Cork senior game? Looked in a bit of discomfort.

Rolled his ankle - nothing major

Big game tonight for the minors - a proxy semi final - winner will play cork in the Munster final while loser will still go through to A/I series.

Doyle and Gunning both injured/returning from injury so don’t start but got close to their strongest team on the pitch v Limerick and gave an excellent hard working performance which they will feel they can build off.

I’m going down to it.

You may bring a coat holder with you in case your bete noire from Clare turns up again.
Although you might take him by surprise that you are not at the Blues v Bohs game in Dublin tonight.

I’ll have two coat holders with me.

A quick question re Cusack Park.
Is the seating in the stand unreserved or are the seats designated and labelled?
Always been in the terrace or shed in Cusack before but never the stand section.

Reserved. Seats are numbered and in rows

Great stuff thanks

How the hell does Jim Conlon get on those calls?
