Yar'ah here! I know the Banner had a woedious year altogether but bottom of twelve??
Its the problem with a ranking system that is based solely on actual results and not performances or margins, for example Clare gave Tipp a fair fright in the Munster Semi, so to say that Tipp got 87 ranking points and Clare 2 is a bit silly, but hey look on hte bright side ye should pick up a few handy ranking points in Div 2 next year

Now that is a low blow ..... and we after shouting for ye, against our better judgement mind you, against the Cats this year.

To be fair, you didn't win a single match all year*! Even Laois won a Championship game, and Antrim beat Wexford by 4-5 points in the league. I know Clare are obviously better than both those teams, but if you finish a year with 0 wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats you're bound to be near the bottom.
*farcical "relegation" play-offs excluded of course

LOL I was shouting for ye in the u-21 if thats any consolation, but I'm afraid I wouldnt shout for the Clare seniors if they were playing England as long as Mike Mac is manager 0 -

If you want farcical matches what about the Cork B team matches that were being played early on.
Fair enough this is tough year for Clare hurling to defend (bar the u21 win) but we are probably 8th or 9th even on this years standards.
There's the odd exception and then there's a ranking system not being worth a hill of beans.;)0 -
Do you hear that low rumbling sound to the west? It is the sound of thousands of fingers drumming to pass the time until this years U21 management team take the senior reins. (And I mightn't shout for them against England either come to think of it, me brother, the only hurler left in my family, plays intermediate hurling in London)premierstone wrote: »LOL I was shouting for ye in the u-21 if thats any consolation, but I'm afraid I wouldnt shout for the Clare seniors if they were playing England as long as Mike Mac is manager0 -

Thinks *Hmmm 14years now.. When did I learn to talk and when did I understand hurling?* Um 5, 6 years
:D

We're thinking of keeping Davy and getting another one, we're thinking along the lines of him being from Antrim or Kerry 0 -

The Clare hurling team and my local club team are the only two teams I've ever given 100% undiluted support towards, but a part of me is starting to identify with the second part of your statement to be honest...premierstone wrote: »LOL I was shouting for ye in the u-21 if thats any consolation, but I'm afraid I wouldnt shout for the Clare seniors if they were playing England as long as Mike Mac is manager0 -
