Entertaining stuff to be fair .

Big_Dan_Campbell · October 17, 2020, 1:43pm

Missing one of their better players and had a number of dual panelists who had a covid scare from the football in the weeks leading up to this which didn’t help preparations.

Clare played alright in the second and third quarters but looked nervy throughout and their support play and use of the ball was miles below Cork. Cork look a fine side with a good bench

binkybarnes · October 17, 2020, 1:46pm

Yeah. Real end to end stuff. Canavan is some prospect. He’s after putting on some muscle since he was a minor

Faldo · October 17, 2020, 1:51pm

Was wondering if it was the same lad good footballer

dodgy_keeper · October 17, 2020, 2:10pm

These water breaks have to be taken out of the game.

ousmanedembele · October 17, 2020, 2:11pm

Agreed. There’s a clear pattern there that it definitely affects momentum. The Cork Clare minor game is an example.

Faldo · October 17, 2020, 2:16pm

Great game this… Think dub will sneak it

binkybarnes · October 17, 2020, 2:19pm

Dublin well on top but frees keeping tyrone in it

binkybarnes · October 17, 2020, 2:20pm

Archer has stood up this half

binkybarnes · October 17, 2020, 2:23pm

Laois minor Hurlers with Derek McGrath coaching them get hammered by offaly.

Spidey · October 17, 2020, 2:27pm

Dublin finished very strong there. Tyrone ran out of steam last 10-15 minutes. Gannon has a nice bit of cut about him at wing back.

kerry1891 · October 17, 2020, 2:30pm

Indeed, very impressed

is he Whitehall? and he is dual player?

Faldo · October 17, 2020, 2:31pm

Kerry were big favs v Galway, dont knon if that’s still the case, few kerry lads out now as well

binkybarnes · October 17, 2020, 2:31pm

Yes to both.

binkybarnes · October 17, 2020, 2:32pm

I’d say having fluent Irish dramatically improves your chances of a MOTM award on tg4

kerry1891 · October 17, 2020, 2:33pm

thanks, thought I heard his name mentioned in hurling circles as well

kerry1891 · October 17, 2020, 2:35pm

Kerry’s best forward is Donal O’Sullivan from Kilgarvan, he is out with a long term hamstring injury

Kerry senior hurlers were looking for him too for the Joe McDonagh cup

myboyblue · October 17, 2020, 2:49pm

Derek McGrath out

myboyblue · October 17, 2020, 2:50pm

There’s few certainties in this life, but one that will always be true is a Laois hurling team who have been talked up, falling on their holes.

dodgy_keeper · October 17, 2020, 2:51pm

Wasn’t this a highly rated Laois side?

I’d say Derek spoke some scutter to the players after the match. “Life is about experiences, today I’m cognisant you had a negative experience but you’ll come out the other side all the better for this heavy defeat.”
