Actually don’t know how I forgot him but Eoin Kelly(Tipp obviously) was another player who was outstanding at 19/20 and didn’t rely on physicality

Made his debut at 18, Liam Cahill All Star at 19, this is bizarre shit from @Sidney.

@Sidney

The game generally is where he is and he always looks like he has time and space. That’s not luck. He seems to think about 2 or 3 seconds quicker than other players.

Delighted for the Limerick lads that Cork are back, for a few years there they had no one to cheer on in the latter stages of the hurling championship.

And Kerry flying in the football, we could be on for the double

Have those sheep raping cunts @twiceasnice97 and @BeTimberin been on yet? You fucking banjo bating inbreds fucked over Davy, reap the whirlwind.

Tony Kelly gave an extraordinary performance yesterday. I expect Jackie Tyrrell to pen an article.

Clare haven’t won the Munster championship since they hexed themselves in 1998

Guys, Donal Moloney of Clare seems like a thorough gentleman in victory and defeat. He was as gracious yesterday as he was after winning those U21 titles. Certain posters here who revel in schadenfreude should learn from the impressive way he carries himself.

This is actually true.

Moynahin in the examiner reckoned he was back to his best

He’s out of his depth

I’ll have to look back but did Clare mark McDonnell and Spillane and just let Cahalane off? Because after Coleman, Cahalane has the best distribution of that Cork defence.

The issue with allowing the short puck-outs was that the Clare full-forward line didn’t lay a finger on Cahalane as he was coming out. Didn’t force him to slow down, didn’t force a couple of hand passes or a shorter pass. Galway won’t allow that.

[Fagan_ODowd]

They won’t play Galway.

For the most part Nash could have played it to any of the three.

Clare dropped Conlon and Malone back inside their own 65 for Cork’s puckouts with McGrath and Shanagher taking the wing backs. O’Donnell stayed 30 yards from goal with Cork having all three in the full backline available. The few times O’Donnell got close to Cahalane he applied decent pressure and the clearances were poor, Kelly stayed pushed up for one yesterday late on and blocked Cahalane down. While Clare didn’t need to push up en masse they needed to commit at least one more attacker or at least vary it

[Fagan_ODowd]

Cork have a very good strategy but it’s driven by having very good forwards so they have lots of options. The obvious thing to do though is what Kilkenny used to do to them years ago is to crowd the half backs and midfield on their puck outs. But you need to slowdown their puck outs.

Force them long and occupy the space in front of Lehane for puckouts and we’ll see if they are as good as they look. Clare were brain dead yesterday, Cork couldn’t have asked for them to setup better.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

He had a relatively decent game yesterday. Hit three from play and won another 3 frees which he converted. Got on half a dozen puckouts and was consistently making runs/showing for the ball second half. Along with Galvin and Conlon he hit some poor wides from distance when a ball into the inside forwards would have been a much better option. He worked hard but like the rest of the Clare team yesterday his decision making was poor and undermined some of his good work.

He is a centre forward and needs to be left there, he hasn’t the appetite for work for midfield and is too easily contained as a wing forward.
