Fuck it, I feel for that youngfella

Thatā€™ll be used as another reason to scrap Minor altogether, you can be sure

Heā€™s been very jittery the poor cunt

I wouldnā€™t be too sure of that

Clare lads being fed something different to ours by the looks of it

I was actually going to say, his puckouts looked good.

Many a Minor goalkeeper has had a meltdown on the big day.

John Power of Kilkenny in 2009 being a classic of this genre.

Dean Mason also of Kilkenny had nightmare in the 2017 Semi Final but has since gone on to be a very accomplished goalie.

Some turnaround in fortunes for Clare underage hurling shipping a 40 point beating two years ago to producing this minor team.

They beat Cork by 14. This has been their worst performance of the year unfortunately. By a mile.

Clare look far far stronger physically than Galway

Cork were the 3rd best team in Munster in reality. Any of the Clare lads who have followed the championship will tell you that.

Munster was really competitive. Even Tipp and Waterford had their excellent performances despite filling the bottom 2 slots.

Clare are battle hardened

Galway are great lads to cycle downhill

The Macna heads are stunned

Kilkenny gave Clare plenty of it for long spells even with only 14 for most of the game.

Should keep taking points here

Clare need to get Gunning back on.
