    My arch-enemy me_one last week stated that it will take a very dirty team to defeat kk. Though I would also consider KK to be a very dirty and unsporting team I would disagree with him on his point. If anyone watched the U21 final today they would have seen a team concede what must be a the lowest free-count in recent years. Though Darrach Honan was quite rattled by a filthy challenge others, especially Conlon stepped up to the plate. This Clare team is for the future. It may be a bit premature but Clare have found the forwards they needed so badly and I think that it's on the way up for the banner men. Mike Mc definately has to go. Have we better forwards then Conlon or Honan?

    Clare have some very good young players alright but it's a massive step-up from U21 to trying to compete at senior level. As for the challenge on Darrach Honan, I actually thought it was perfectly legit. The Kilkenny defender (think it was Paul Murphy) caught him with a beautiful shoulder and stopped him in his tracks. It was a carbon copy of the shoulder the Kilkenny keeper got hit with earlier in the half, when no free was awarded.

    Read the rule book (if there is one) but you cannot shoulder a man into the chest. The differance with Ryan was that he met him head on rather than with the shoulder. Granted, the keeper would usually get a free for it but wrongly as if you don't lead with the shoulder it is legit. Ryan stood strong rather that turning the shoulder to hurt a man. Clare must be admired for their dicipline and hopefully they can carry it to senior. We, along with Tipp can then wash the filth of KK form the field for good.

    Oh FFS, I'm actually sick of people and this crap.
    I was at the u21 match earlier (making my way back to the banner county as we speak:D). Brillaint display by both the team and the fans. But seriosuly, whats some peoples problems?
    If Kilkenny weren't winning all the time or appearing in finals year after year, I doubt we'd hear all this about Kilkenny being a dirty team. :rolleyes:

    Enjoy the day today. Clare won.

    And may I remind you, Senior is a big step-up from u21. I'm not saying Clare won't progress from this achievement but really like... just enjoy today.

    EDIT: Laptops are way handy btw!!!! :D

    Don't listen to soccy. She's registered a a girl. Who's going to take her seriously. I'll go back to the amount of frees that Clare conceeded today. They won an All-Ireland without pulling a dirty stroke which I think is good for the game. Ryan today made a hard tackle on KK keeeper. A sporting challenge which was face to face. KK defender challenges Honan, he turned the shoulder thus trying to take him out and he wasn't far off succeeding.

    I've never been called a troll before. Can we stick to the thread please? Otherwise the moderator will be on your ass. KK is a team of the past. Tipp and Clare to clean the game up. Of course they will first have to beat KK. Definately Tipp will do it first.

    As much as I respect Clare and all, I'd say you're just getting a tad carried away.
    Yeah, they won the u21 and thats a great achievement but surely you can't be expecting Clare to beat Kilkenny just like that.

    And regarding going off-topic and the mod getting on peoples "ass" as you referred, some of your posts aren't very acceptable either. :rolleyes:
