No disrespect intended but when youâre on the verge of lightning bonfires after beating Kilkenny in a glorified challenge match, it doesnât bode well
Lightning bonfires you say. Sounds like something Dr Evil would concoct. Lets hope the Orange brigade dont cotton onto the idea for the twelfth or there wont be a loyalist house left standing.
Was talking with a couple of Clare lads yesterday and one of them made an interesting point.
He said if we had been told at the start of the championship that weâd beat Limerick, draw with Cork and still not qualify youâd be sending for the men in white coats.
Clare were leading when time was up against cork. Came down to the refs discretion. Small margins can go either way. Probably got the breaks in 24 and ended up winning the all Ireland.
We can have little complaints - one point up and win clean possession at the death v Cork, level with ten to go v Tipp and were in a good position with the wind to come v Waterford at half time and won zero of these games. Small margins and mitigating circumstances but them the breaks.
Fair enough and Iâm not saying they wouldnât have beaten limerick but had limerick needed something out of that game, I donât think they would have met the same personnel
