1993 Munster final followed by the 1994 Munster final had Clare supporters very down trodden by the Munster final of 1995.

You make some really great points there to counter act my reasoned facts and opinion I just stated.... oh wait

So please explain to me why this team has not won a match in Munster until only last season, let alone get back to croke park for a semi final or final? Please state what facts I have stated that are wrong seeing as I am "factually wrong?" If we disagree, great, no problem. Wouldn't it be boring if we all thought the same things. But don't get opinions mixed up with facts. And if you can explain why Cork and Clare faltered so badly in the presiding 3 seasons following the 2013 final then I am all ears. "In 2013 from the semis on any team could have won that All Ireland so Clares win was more impressive" I respect this view point and see where you are coming from (not just going to dismiss everything you say as you do with me) but my point comes in the fact of both teams fortunes in the immediate 3 seasons (more than a long enough sample size) to reflect perhaps they weren't as good as we thought and both appeared in a final opportunistically as opposed to long term quality.

Yes, we certainly digressed a bit alright! I agree re the Clare forwards scoring more. Conor McGrath was whipped off in first half injury time, seemed like a strange time when half time was due. I hope he can rediscover his previous form. Podge was fantastic when he came on, his smart use of the ball, energy and work rate were great, not to mention the equalising score over his shoulder. I loved the two scores that conlon and duggan got at the end right on the sideline, both men created the bit of space and separation they needed to get the shot away by pushing into their men. Also the pick up and offload by conlon that led to the goal was a big time move, great skill and strength in the same instance. I like you, find it very hard to call, but would go for Limerick if I had to back someone, although I think it will be more like a 1 score game rather than 5/6 points.

Well I've already stated 3 weeks ago a Cork v Clare 2018 MHC Final. Yes Clare v Limerick will be a tight match but it's the Banner for me! Waterford have nothing to play for but I'd expect them to have a right cut at Cork and I'd say it will be a high scoring game but the Rebels should do enough to win. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 16/06/2018 13:54:35 2112093 Link 0 |
just looked at ciaran careys point in 1996 again,what a score.look at the crowd in the gaelic grounds.what has happened to the crowds at gaa matches from then? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 16/06/2018 17:00:41 2112145 Link 1 |
I think the back door kinda took the crowds out of the mix. I was at that game and it was stifling on the terrace. Must have been unreal out on the pitch!! Seriously packed on a very hot day..it was do or die stuff. Win and your in a munster final, lose and that's it for another year. Now it's watch it on TV and wait for the next game. I miss those days. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1062 - 16/06/2018 17:59:35 2112161 Link 0 |
Clare missing serious firepower in Aaron Shanagher, Aaron Cunningham, Cathal O'Connell, Bobby Duggan and Cathal McInerney and this will come back to haunt them especially with Conor McGrath's continued bad form stekhli (Dublin) - Posts: 3121 - 16/06/2018 20:24:12 2112175 Link 0 |
It's sad to see the decline of McGrath. He was one of the best forwards in the country from around 2010/2011 - 2015/2016.

The 2 Aarons would be only ones that would be in contention to start and that come close to be called 'serious' ar this level.

David Reidy just got the line there for absolutely nothing. Is it time for video technology the referees and their team are getting too many decisions wrong? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 17/06/2018 14:38:22 2112253 Link 0 |
Dreadful stuff out of Limerick.... It's like we're afraid to hurl. Clare are good but we're shocking. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1062 - 17/06/2018 15:32:47 2112264 Link 0 |

Glory Glory Clare as they blow Limerick completely out of the water! As I said it's better they are getting and serious All Ireland contenders! Next up the 2018 MHC title! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 17/06/2018 16:13:42 2112286 Link 0 |
Has to be overturned. Nothing surprising about today's result in my opinion -- except perhaps the margin

Great Clare display but Limerick was shocking. Clare are very economical. Limerick Management were terrible. They played into Clare's hands letting them go short with puck outs. And to start Dowling and leave Gillane off was a joke. Flanagan gets 5 from play at full forward against Cork and he's moved to accommodate Dowling..
