Cork v Clare MSHC Semi Final 2014

Sport
101

I agree. I also think Cork have to win this game. Otherwise they run the significant risk of another dead year with nothing to show

102

:rolleyes:

103

Clare lads playing possum :rolleyes:

104

You are being very unkind to possums there, kid.

105

There’s a good chance of Clare being flat and disjointed on Sunday. That’s how we’ve looked in the opening games for the past two years , and with Cork having two games played already it could well be a big factor.

Clare lads getting their excuses in early. Positioning themselves nicely for a Sunday evening “we knew they were going really well but Davy told us not to tell ye”

Oohh we didn’t realise we could be this good in June, wait till the ground is harder in August, we’ll be unstoppable.

Or

We are always undercooked in June, we’re a top of the ground team, no point in peaking till August/September, sure munster means fuck all like we’ve won 6 of them in 125 years.

Sickening cunts.

111

calm down MI, you’ll get at least one more day from the Windies draw permitting

112

I support England and Wales in cricket m8.

It’s gas listening to the Clare crowd getting their excuses in early and saying this Sunday doesn’t matter.:smiley: They must be happy enough to dine out on their one off backdoor all ireland.:smiley:

114

Haters gonna hate

115

We hope there are more All-Irelands in this team but we can handle the fact that one may not arrive this year. As a group they delivered ahead of schedule in 2013 and most would not be inclined to see them as the finished article yet.

In general terms I think we’ve plenty to be happy about. We’ve managed to reach the final just 4 times over the past 20 years, but we’ve won 3 of those finals. Compared to say Galway (none from 3), or Limerick (none from 3), or even with Tipp (2 from 5) and Cork (3 from 6) we’ve done alright. We’ve had our fair share to celebrate, if you can’t appreciate the good times then what’s the point.

Things are good, we’re enjoying it. That’s all there is to it really.

If only you were enjoying it, when you have to compare yourself to others like that it betrays a deep and basic insecurity, one which is quite evident in quite a lot of the Clare lads posts on here
I think you will beat Cork but have a funny feeling Cork are more likely to make an All Ireland Final this year than Clare
