Replying To royaldunne: "Dear God this is last thread I wanted to see. I can see the red mist already in cork. They going to come out fighting against Meath. Please let slump continue for 2 more weeks" It looks like fight is the last thing they have. I was at the hurling today and hearing that result on the way home deepened my depression.

This is the game of next rd in my opinion. A win for both is a must. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/03/2017 21:29:54 1964215 Link

I would love if Donegal were in Munster. Imagine getting to the last four every year by beating division 2 sides lol #peakforaugust TheRightStuff (Donegal) - Posts: 1688 - 06/03/2017 01:37:11 1964298 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "true but cork should be beaten them." Why should they? Clare are obviously a better team than Cork at the moment so I am struggling to understand the validity of your comment? Are you talking about history? By its very nature history is past tense.

Replying To keeper7: "Journeyman & the Garavogue." Agreed. The Journeyman is now called McHugh's, I believe, if my brain hasn't gone soft since I left there. (Sligo that is, not the pub) Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1042 - 06/03/2017 08:41:03 1964337 Link
Replying To TheRightStuff: "I would love if Donegal were in Munster. Imagine getting to the last four every year by beating division 2 sides lol #peakforaugust" As opposed to the situation in Leinster??? TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/03/2017 09:49:32 1964369 Link
Replying To TheRightStuff: "I would love if Donegal were in Munster.

Clare have already drawn with Derry and hammered Down this year , yet how is this possible? KYTotalFootball (Kerry) - Posts: 280 - 06/03/2017 10:16:47 1964387 Link
Since 2004 Cork have won 9 under 21 titles, Clare have won none and are the only side in Munster not to make an under21 Munster final in that time. Clare are doing great but anyone who thinks they just have a better side of footballers than Cork is not living in reality. realman2 (Kildare) - Posts: 464 - 06/03/2017 10:34:50 1964402 Link

Kerry are the sole disciples of the football code and the other 5 just send out 15 random hurlers without their camans every week and tell them to do their best. Why would Clare or Tipperary ever be considered the equal of Derry or Antrim or Fermanagh! TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/03/2017 10:47:11 1964408 Link

The opposite is happening in Cork. Cork have appeared in 5 of the last 11 u21 All Ireland finals so the talent is their so thats not an excuse.

Replying To TheRightStuff: "I would love if Donegal were in Munster.

Leinster is more of a shambles than Munster and Mayo didn't have to beat a Div 1 side during their 5 in a row in Connacht where Galway probably went through one of their lowest periods in the last 50 years.

Clare have proven they're no flash in the pan. We took them for granted last year and they punished us for it. Cork are going the opposite direction and have been for a couple of years while Clare are improving all the time. The Royals will roast Cork in 2 weeks time as they're on the up now as well with promotion firmly in sight. St.Conleth (Kildare) - Posts: 1700 - 07/03/2017 17:35:08 1965156 Link
Clare got to the last 8 of the championship last year so not that much of a surprise. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 07/03/2017 17:53:22 1965161 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "no, corks problem isn't players,its attitude. they were 8 points up at half time against the dubs in the league last year." If its attitude Ziggy then the problem is the players. What has Clare playing so well, is it attitude? Or do they have decent players? I think both but they're not getting any credit. Regarding Cork you might put one loss down to 'attitude ' but surely they're not spending half their week training and then not bothered when they turn up for a game?

If Clare get promoted, will that be 1st time ever a team got promoted from Div 4, to 3, to 2, to Div 1 in consecutive years? I know Westmeath did it the opposite way, fell down the leagues each year to go from Div 1 to Div 4 where they are now. The Real 1944 (Carlow) - Posts: 1114 - 07/03/2017 20:26:14 1965240 Link
