Replying To katser: "It's a shocking result for us....only for the red card We would have beaten them, now all We can do is watch Kilkenny cruise into another All Ireland Semi Final after they win the Leinster Final. Cork will destroy Dublin in the All Ireland Quarter Final." Cork would ate Galway too

That being said Tipp embarrassed themselves in the second half

Replying To PatOLogical: "Your omniscient remarks frequently convey that you are firmly convinced of what just isn't so.
Re-watch with an eye to all the coulda , woilda, shoulda been frees ,yellow and red cards. The balance would be heavily in Limerick's favor ( maybe to the tune of 10 points).
Will you sit and watch as Hegarty gets slapped several times with hurley when they play the likes of Clare , only to have a free awarded against him. You can sit in your comfy seat and not worry as you won't feel a bit of it. Wake up and smell the coffee or flowers, then engage brain before operating jaws.
"Not sayin nuttin, juss makn a comment"" Can you redo that in English please

Congratulations Limerick. Ye are everything I aspire our Clare team to be. Ye bullied us today and we have way too many off form. I expect Cork to beat us well next week and put us out of our misery.
This is the end of the line for our management team who despite having a good year last year have shown themselves to be incapable of doing the job. That said, the player depth isn't there in Clare at the moment.
Congrats again - ye have a super team.

Replying To ancientrush: "As the train is too expensive- probably going to drive, is it easy to get on street parking in Waterford and where would people recommend?" Mount Sion GAA club which is a 5/10 minute walk to the stadium was an excellent option for the Clare game. Safe secure parking for a 5er, excellently laid out and no major issues when leaving. They also had the bar open and a good tent with burgers etc. Highly recommended

Tipp Hurling Fans Fighting - 4 Like(s)
Replying To MesAmis: "They are real fans though.
They're not the fans we want but they're a part of fandom.
Soccer has done this 'they're not real fans' routine for years but it is not true. Any sport that has big cross community support will attract all sorts of people to its games.
Living beside Croker means I've seen all sorts, from different counties including my own, down through the years. From fighting to urinating at people's front doors etc. 99% of people are great but the 1% exists and have always been there, despite what some may think." I disagree.
The comment I was making about them not being real fans are that in reality clowns like this couldnt really care less about whats happening on the pitch, they are more interest in the day out and the p*ss up.

Replying To tommy k: "Yes Clare are used to long holidays both in hurling and football so you should know. Show us your football medals - oh wait ye don't have any but I think ye did get a runners-up medal in 1917! lol" In fairness, you are right. Galway hurlers have a superb record with 5 All Irelands made even more impressive by the fact that for decades ye had a free pass to the All Ireland semi final great stuff.
Football doesnt interest me in the slightest, not my sport and more to the point has nothing to do with Galway failing to get out of Leinster in the hurling championship.

You need to make sure your own house is neat and tidy before calling out simulation like Kiely did. I didn't see him complain when Diarmuid Byrnes dived to get David Reidy sent off in 2018.

Player Power comes up trumps again - 3 Like(s)
What are the players supposed to do, sit by and see the talent being wasted with stupid tactics?
I would have lost respect for them if they didn't move now. If you look at Clare's championship results since 2013 they are brutal. With the talent in our team we deserve a lot more. Davy was also very happy to deflect blame on the players "their hooking and blocking stats are down on 2013" and also on referees. Never once did he accept responsibility for his own decisions, like deploying Kelly in the half back line against Wford in Munster. He was also very happy to tell everyone how he made the call for Tony Kelly to take the free to level scores in the league final replay.
That is one of the biggest frustations with Davy is he would never acknowledge an error by himself but was always happy to praise himself.
Davy was in a unique position in Clare whereby his father is directly involved in his appointment and the term he would remain in charge. As a result, if Davy wanted it, it was a role for life. The only way a change was going to happen is if Davy decided to go and the only way that Davy would go is if the players voiced their opinion.
This needed to happen for the sake of Clare hurling and I for one am very glad the players have spoke out and Davy has respected their wishes.
Notwithstanding all this, the man needs to be praised for his contribution for Clare. Directly involved in three All Irelands. 2013 was just majestic.
Thank you Davy. You have made the right decision and we are grateful for that and all you have done for Clare hurling.

9 Dubs forwards, would any not make the Mayo team? - 3 Like(s)
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Ok, I am sure this topic will annoy a few and so on and so forth.....but so what!
What do people think?
I am gonna name 9 Dubs forwards.
Flynn, Connolly, Kilkenny, Brogan, McManaman, Rock, Andrews, Mannion, O'Gara
Now honestly, would any of those lads NOT get in the Mayo starting 15?
Some may say that Deano is only there for frees, and Mayo have COC, but going on their respective form this year, that argument doesn't stand up.
To be honest, I'd say Cormac Costelloe would most likely start for Mayo too
I have to be honest, if Dublin get 45%-55% at Midfield, I cant see a path for Mayo to win ?
Am I wrong?" God almighty I hope Mayo smash ye.

Replying To Stool Pigeon: "I've seen a few of Clare's games, they are a good side alright but for them to win, absolutely everything has to go well for them, we have to underperform, and even then I can't see Clare winning. They will need at least 3 goals to do it and I don't see that happening as they will probably play with two up and we will have Campbell free to cover as a result.
They had an extra man for all but the first 7 minutes against KK and it took them a long time to shake them off." This is probably an example of the attitude the crept into the squad and resulted in todays performance by Galway.

Its got nothing to do with the game. A few idiots in the terrace acting the tough men probably drinking all morning before the game. They are not real fans. They need to be identified and named and shamed. That would deter this behavior in future.

All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2023 - 3 Like(s)
Replying To Oldtourman: "LRH, even Sheehy and other Prominent Tipp Hurling, Nicky English were talking up this Tipp team. Like you, I could not see where all that optimism was coming from. There was an interesting full page Article in yesterdays Irish Examiner. Written by a Tipp man, it posed the question 'Why do everyone Hate Tipp?'. It may be due to the fact that they can gt so cocky, when they have little to be cocky about." One of the reasons that Tipp struggle for likeability is like Premier28 many are stuck in the past. Tipp have I think 6 AI in 50 years but shape around the place like they have 25.
The "Big 3" as it were is a historical term and is redundant. I can't be arsed running the exercise but I would love to see the spread of winners over the last 30 years. Would there be a "big 3" based on this? Hardly.
Lads like Premier28 on here giving it large to Limerick lads and ranting about the 50s and 60s (when he / she was probably not even alive") is laughable stuff. I'd much rather have 5 All Irelands in the last 10 years then 6 in the last 50
