Jesus fuck.

Yea Galway Limerick final

The Clare lads have retreated to limestone caves in the Burren, not a peep out of them. We’re going to be ayte alive on Saturday evening.

Right… anyway:

@Big_Dan_Campbell, expecting an unchanged Clare team? How do you see them going against Galway? Galway haven’t been as impressive this year as in recent years, possibly because they haven’t needed to be yet. Shades of 2013 about this Clare team though.

There is if they can get Mcinerney turned enough and through on the full back line they can win it

Big_Dan_Campbell · July 25, 2018, 4:20pm

Same 15 will start. Think they may well rejig the forwards and may look to put Reidy or Podge at 11 or O’Donnell the more central of a two man full forward line stationed close to goal to start with just to try and mix it up a little.

Would be worried about Jamie Shanahan in the backs and his lack of defensive instinct which Galway will set out to exploit.

I expect changes

Joe_Player · July 25, 2018, 4:59pm

2 changes mybe

That’s why @KinvarasPassion has been out on scouting raids with the last few months, our lads are going to end up trapped under Eagle’s Rock like the Thai young lads

maroonandwhite · July 25, 2018, 5:43pm

Nodding AND agreeing. Clare have proven performers in croker, point scorers from deep, we’re gonna have to sit deep to stop podge and SOD freewheelin meaning kelly and galvin can kill us from far out. Clare are a different team with Mcinerney minding the house. If we were kk we’d be fine but our lads are already thinking of the all Ireland winning after party

@anon32894817 belief and confidence in this Clare team really is infectious. I was talking to a fellow from Clare today who’d be very knowledgeable on hurling matters. I could tell that he’s fierce confident about Saturday in a quiet kind of way. He reminded me as his parting shot that Galway have never beaten Clare in Croke Park - 1995, 1999 & 2002, Clare ultimately prevailed every time.

anon32894817 · July 25, 2018, 6:52pm

Great to have you on board mate. I’ve decided to rearrange a few things and I’ll be in attendance on Saturday.

GeoffreyBoycott · July 25, 2018, 6:57pm

Not quite mate. I’m going with Galway and Limerick to win, both by just one score.

anon32894817 · July 25, 2018, 7:03pm

I’m predicting a clare - limerick final. Albeit from a purely selfish point of view I’d much prefer a limerick - galway final.

Big_Dan_Campbell · July 25, 2018, 8:12pm

Strong possibility that Aron Shanagher will make the match day 26 and see playing time

TreatyStones · July 25, 2018, 8:25pm

As a pre-fatherhood, pre-driving, pre-restaurant dining and, pre-girlfriend bandage would say, that would be off the chain

KinvarasPassion · July 25, 2018, 8:32pm

He’d be a great fella to throw in for 15 minutes.

Big_Dan_Campbell · July 25, 2018, 8:33pm

Better than Darragh Corry anyway

KinvarasPassion · July 25, 2018, 8:41pm

Anything to Dennis?

Big_Dan_Campbell · July 25, 2018, 8:44pm

Could well be, Dennis is a tulla man as well I believe
