[quote=ā€œKIB manā€]This one has to be read to be believed. A fucking disgrace

Galway 1-16 Donegal 0-12

Leading 1-11 to 0-02 at half-time, the Galway team left the pitch to a standing ovation such was the impressive nature of their performance.

Seven minutes into the second half Galway stretched their lead to 1-13 0-03 when Michael Meehan knocked over a twenty-metre free-kick.

Gareth Bradshaw grabbed a fine point to reduce the arrears for Donegal.

Ciarn Bonner and Michael Meehan dropped over further points for Galway in the second half but they soon after went to sleep and Donegal took control of the tie reducing the arrears significantly to 1-15 to 0-12.

Donegal never seriously threatened the tie; however, and two further Michael Meehan points towards the end sealed the tie for Galway.[/quote]
RTE are ridiculous. They are always getting names mixed up.
They should be taken out and shot.

Could one of the Cork lads on here possibly hazard a guess as to what Corkā€™s starting 15 will be for Sundayā€¦

Donā€™t know Puke. Only 19 lads trained fully tonight - apparently Sully is concentrating on Rugby with Highfield (no, really), was there but didnā€™t tog out, Tom Kenny, Jerry Oā€™Connor and Timmy Mac are supposed to be injured and five of those training were 09 lads. I get the very worrying feeling that the team on Sunday is going to be very cobbled together, the five 09 lads plus who ever is fittest of the 08 panel.

Clare to win pulling up so or tis fucking idle

Jesus. Iā€™ll have a cut, just off top of my head now. I suspect theyā€™ll go for a few 09, a few Fitz players and a couple of old stagers.

Here goes.

  1. Anthony Nash
  2. Shane Oā€™ Neill
  3. Eoin Dillion
  4. Brian Murphy
  5. Kevin Hartnett
  6. Ronan Curran
  7. Eoin Cadogan
  8. Barry Johnson
  9. Adrian Manix
  10. Rob White
  11. Brian Corry
  12. Tadgh Og Murphy
  13. Ben Oā€™ Connor
  14. Kevin Canty??? Fucked for full forward, canā€™t think of anyone, but i played against this fella recently so he comes to mind.
  15. Cathal Naughton

Full Forward is as much a problem as full back. Iā€™d pick Fraggie Murphy but i believe he is injuried.

Iā€™m editing on hearing Turreneā€™s injury list there.
Turrene, whats that tasty little midfielder from Youghal again, CIT player last year and U-21 i think as well last year?

Great get out, nobody would bat an eyelid. Heard he is making a half decent attempt at it too.

Timmy Mac will hardly get his place on the panel this yearā€¦Would Fintan O Leary be anywhere close to the cork panelā€¦Was impressed with him in the fitz over the past couple of years

Timmy Mac will get a chance, if he makes it or not iā€™m not sure, but heā€™s be perfect for ye away Puke.
Fintan Oā€™ Leary will be one of these guys who will do unreal things for club and college, but will never be Inter-County, much like Callinan.

What club is heā€¦Ballyhassig or is that Fintan Gouldā€¦

My guessā€¦

Donal Og

Shane Oā€™Neill
Diarmiud Oā€™Sullivan
Brian Murphy

Kevin Hartnett
Ronan Curran
John Gardiner

Cathal Naughton
Tom Kenny

Tadgh Og Murphy
Niall McCarthy
Pa Cronin

Pa Horgan
Fraggie Murphy
Ben Oā€™Connor

The forwards are a complete guess - Naughton, Pa Horgan, Niall Mac and Ben Oā€™Connor will start Iā€™m sure, but thats assuming their fit, and they might not be. The backs pick themselves - but again, guessing about playerā€™s fitness. Iā€™m assuming Timmy Maac and Jerry Oā€™Connor are out injured completely.

We will know more after the next training, but i would give Clare a decent chance of a win on tonightā€™s reports.

Ballinhassig, Gould is Macroom. One plays hurling, no football, the other plays football, no hurling.

No way will Sully be played if heā€™s playing rugby, end of. I would think going by other similar incidents that he would be told go jump, and rightly so, it IC hurling for fuck sake.

There was another wing forward for WIT from Cork this yearā€¦His first name was aslo Fintan(or somethinbg fairly similar), though his surname was gould, could well have been Goodā€¦

Timmy Mac was the best of an awful center forward line last year. Iā€™d start him ahead of Brian Corry anyday.

Padraig Gould from Na Piarsaigh maybe, he was with CIT last year, and the U-21ā€™s. Not a stand out player, but good all the same.

Who are they going to play ahead of him? Dillon didnā€™t train, unless he was on the 08 panel without my knowledge. He is likely to be the fittest of the lot. Iā€™m only going by what Considine said in the paper which was little vague - no guarantee that he is going to be playing for Highfield before Cork, weā€™ll have to wait and see.

No he wasnā€™t from a big club i donā€™t thinkā€¦Think it was Ronan(?) Goodā€¦

Indeed R. Good (Cork) starting wing forward - never heard of him.

One of those great Fitzgibbon floaters i suppose. I never heard of him either.

Saw him against LIT ans he looked handyā€¦Put in a hard days graft did a lot of the spade work for O Leary and Reidā€¦
