It’s actually impressive being that bad at it. It’s not like hurling where there’s huge skills gaps. If you are fit and coachd well you can surely compete at least

Exactly. How bad must you be if you cant fist a ball sideways, backwards and forwards.

Both Spain and Portugal got as many scores as us in a soccer match

I’ll always support the footballers - it’s the sporting equivalent of pissing into a hurricane - but the time is approaching to go down the Kilkenny route.

Condon makes the bench! no Peter Casey

Is there a concern over someone that Condon makes the bench?

Gillane in for pat Simon. @Watchyourtoes David Reidy survives again.

Condon was a sub the last day. Only change on the bench is Gillane for Pat Ryan.

Pat Ryan gone for Gillane.

Fair enough… I didnt think he was on the bench last week for some reason.

Fairly cut throat from kiely to get rid of pat Ryan.

I had a feeling that Pat Ryan might not make the cut this time after failing to get a run the last time.

How Reidy is still there is beyond me.

Odd, as he’s seen game time. Reidy hasn’t got a look in, but he’s big and rangy and suited to Clare. The workload on half forwards means that Kiely usually subs off two of them so that’s probably why Reidy is retained.

How close is Casey at all to returning?

I had this debate with @Watchyourtoes and he sent a few gifs in reply. Reidy is an out and out half forward. He’s brilliant feat, good in the air and well able to take a point. If hego or hayes went down early he’d be straight on for one of them. We’ve barry Murphy, Gillane and nash covering the full forward line. So it’s only David Dempsey and reidy covering the half forwards. Dempsey is probbaly a fullforward option too. So it’s a 4/1 spilt which isn’t ideal.

Casey is fine. Scored 1-6 for the U21s in a challenge v Wexford last week.

Not easy get in the squad these days…

Cut throat as I said. He’d bad wides v tipp, miss a goal chance v cork and didn’t do great v Waterford. Was very good in the league. Kiely loves nash.
