Clare GAA Thread 🐐

That the life of any intercounty player makes demands that most of us wouldn’t be bothered with is hardly news to you? This instance isn’t too far removed from what goes on elsewhere

Shameful stuff no doubt, and well known…

Davy is dead right here. You either give 100% or fcuk off. There are plenty of guys out to fill the panel. Set down a marker early in the year. Great management. He should be rewarded with a 10 year contract. Go on Davy never back down. We are all behind you.

@Raylan

Making lads tog out on their own? Preventing them going to games? Isolating them for weeks?

This is news to me anyway and definitely not something I was familiar with.

Rules are rules and they did sign up to them. Its the punishment which is a bit out of order and the point of some other senior panel member not getting same punishment for said crime…

Back in 2013 when they were struggling in the early games, the first thing fellas would do after hitting a wide or a bad pass is turn to the sideline to apologise.
That showed what type of place the Clare camp is.

Here in Ennis you feel that this one is make or break for davrey

Only one player did that who was notorious for trying stupid shots from everywhere and was instructed not to shoot from distance.
Hardly an indication of where the panel was and it was a happy camp at the time anyway, it only turned sour during the league last year.

It’s very far removed

Poor crowd

Talking to Davey he was relaxed

Is this on setanta?

Calvin in good form

[QUOTE=“dodgy-keeper, post: 1106631, member: 1552”]That’s the Irish Times on the banned list now along with Peter O’Connell and the Clare Champion. :popcorn:

If the two lads who were over the u-21’s in recent years took over in the morning I’d make Clare one of the favourites to win it. Great young side but led by someone with not an ounce of humility or grace.

Moaning about how he was bullied at school on the bus (fair enough, nobody should have to endure that) but then he turns around and treats journalists, referees, opponents and now it seems even his own players the way he does. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

Them two lads that ran the 21s and put top class players on a plate for Davy must be the two most under acknowledged men in GAA. Produced top class quality players and never a peep or word out of the pair of them. I give them more credit for winning the all Ireland senior title than Davy. They were with them players for 6 or 7 years and were still over them in 2013 at under 21 level when Clare won the senior. There was never any drama with that pair - this whole world is against Clare act that went on last summer must seem like awful tripe to well educated and class young players.

Goal to Dublin

why the fuck do GAA managers get into a pickle about players been seen out having a night out? FFS professional soccer players go on the piss between games
Once alcohol is not abused what is the problem? If their is a blatant breach and a right booze up a wk before a game well then just drop the players for a game like the Kerry footballers did a few years back en route to winning the all Ireland. in fact they just put them on the bench and brought them on. No need for draconian measures

[QUOTE=“Raylan, post: 1106670, member: 2891”]They should bring in someone who’s even-tempered, reasonable and with a background in S&C.
And tall. Sorry Kev.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn’t go up to those shower of fiddle playing fucks if they were giving me 1k a session.

It turned sour with Davey milking the applause after the AI win.

You would need to know how to coach and manage and have the comfort in the work you had done to not resort to these stupid methods.

Davy is a google coach.
