Great performance from Clare. Wow. I picked Tipp to win it as I didn't trust Clare. How wrong was I? Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2257 - 24/04/2022 15:41:15 2412743 Link 0 |

Huge win for Clare but can't believe how bad tipp were..rebuilding job needed..ive mentioned before they won 2 all ireland in a row under 21/20 but very few of those players got their chance,down to the previous manager in my opinion being to loyal..ive said in earlier posts that I fancied Clare to get out of munster..Clare could end up getting rid of cork if they win next day out..

Fantastic win for Clare, great to see both Shane O Donnell and Peter Duggan back both made huge contributions. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2081 - 24/04/2022 17:04:32 2412771 Link 0 |

Agreed on all points Bon. Great win for Clare hopefully they can build on it. If they beat Cork, which I hope they do, I wouldn't be surprised if they made the Munster final with their last 2 games in Ennis. Never rated Bonnar as a manager. Was poor here. Nice guy but not a great manager.

What players from those 2 winning sides would you have fast tracked? They were 2 solid teams lacking many real stand out players. Bryan O' Meara i do rate very highly but judging by today Sheedy's call on a lot of these lads is hard to disagree with plus he didn't have the group stage the last 2 seasons

Agree on Bonnar. Hasn't a great record in management. Tipp were all over the place today.

Would these lads have been better for a bit more experience the last couple of years though? I saw them at u20 they were an excellent team. Isn't it the job of management to improve players and help them reach their potential?

As I said, the championship is making mockery of the league. Tipp in disarray having lost so many players and they are rightly the 5th team in munster. Cork Clare becomes a big game next week but I also give us a huge chance against Waterford at home as they are not the lords they are been made out to be.

Any team that has a Tony Kelly, Shane O'Donnell, Conlon, etc is a dangerous team when healthy. Not to mention Duggan.

And in '22 Limerick had William O'Donoghue, Barry Nash, Conor Boylan, and O'Neill fitted in very well when he came on and Peter Casey would have been on if he was fit. Any of those did not start the game in 2018. Was the Kilkenny team of 2006 as young as the Limerick team of '18- I doubt it.

I think that's where they wanted Liam Cahill to step in.

Well said Lohan. Many people on here have already decided that Limerick will play Waterford 3 times this year.

Tipp won those 2 underage AI due to the coaching of Cahill and Bevans. Those teams scored loads of goals similar to the current Waterford team. Cahill made average players better.

Missing out on the league play offs may well have been a benefit to some teams. It is difficult to know how their respective beatings in the semi final and final impacted on Wexford and Cork but it must be difficult to recover from that sort of beating in a short space of time. And with the team having shown much of their hand already. I'd fancy Clare to take Cork too, BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3090 - 24/04/2022 21:34:07 2412900 Link 0 |

Maybe not. If Limerick do not at least draw with Tipp, we are almost certainly out. It would be very hard to win in Ennis with a depleted team.

They weren't just better. They were brilliant. We lost the Leinster Final in 2019 by 2 points to Kilkenny. Tipp beat us 8-16 to 1-15 in the AI semifinal and then thrashed Cork in the final scoring another 5 goals. This on top of winning in 2018 also.

Johnny. The only reason we have an atrocious record in Ennis is that we are the only county that has gone there regularly. Tipp played there in '85 and lost. The sides drew in Thurles the following year. Clare offered to enter a new Home/Away arrangement but Tipp refused. The pitches in Cork and Limerick were unavailable, so the game had to go on in Killarney. So supporters from place like Lorha, Moneygall and Killenaule etc had to travel a much longer distance than if the match was played in Ennis, but Tipp put the interests of their team first. Cork have never had a Home/Away arrangement with Clare and I know for a fact Galway do not fancy playing Clare there. What the **** was our county boards doing dragging our team out to that graveyard, when no other Board were forcing their team to do it.
