Danger here. Worried about Clare's pace and hunger.

If Tony Kelly has a stormer today I think Galway could be up against it.

He is a Matchwinner.

Best of luck to the minors and seniors today.

After overhearing someone on the bus up saying Daithi Burke is out??

Absolutely brutal by Coen leaving a free puck short from that distance.

Ffs.

We should have this game well won by now. I'll be sick if we lose this.

Well unless you have a crystal ball that tells the future in front of you you don't know that so let's wait and see.

Some amount of wides by us. Thought Clare left it behind. Don't think Galway will play as bad as that next week. Injuries/recoveries will be crucial.

And the ref as bad as I’ve seen since he reffed is against Kilkenny in tullamore in 13 the John oxx

ClanofLams

Unbelievable attitude to come back from two down with four minutes to go with Canning Burke McInerney and Whelan all off. Regardless of how the year pans out, they won’t be found wanting for character.

I am very pessimistic about our prospects without those players.

Dejected after that.

Too many times in the past few seasons we've played like that.

Wexford x2/Limerick/ Cork/ Dublin in the league, Kilkenny this year.

Most of those days were in the league but its happened a few times outside of that.

In the majority of those games it was like we had one less attacker and one less defender.

Every ball in attack was a 40/60 and every ball won against us in ours was 60/40 with the attacker well in front of a low ball.

I don't think we're any better than the pack now, that Clare team aren't up to much.
We're capable of playing better than any team in patches but also capable of playing far worse than anyone else... Jekyll and Hyde stuff.

While we don't usually throw two of those performances together with the injury list I think our goose is cooked.

A trip back to that kip town of Thurles is truly a sickener.

Let Kirwan ref it and we may as well not turn up.

Any idea when the replay is fixed for? Heard Saturday but surely the GAA won’t fix two Galway matches for the one day?!

Thanks. Was wondering what happen. Fair play for clearing that up. We had chances. Very insightful.

How bad are our injuries. Was at the game so couldn't tell how bad they were. Looks like Daithi was carrying something throughout the match which could come against us next week.

How bad are the injuries? I think Clare are favourites now. Left it behind.

Mc and Tuhoy look the worst. Daithi is well documented. He had injections to play so it will depend what happens when that wears off. Joe hard to tell. Seemed to strain himself diving for that ball. Fingers crossed they'll be ok.

Why are you always so negative ? We don’t have a divine right to win the all Ireland . In the second half of extra Time we were 2 points down without whelan gearoid Mc canning and David Burke and we came back to lead and were leading when 3 Added mins were up . But unlike normal time when the ref blew when we were in possession he gave Clare the 45 secs and the chance to draw . Having said all that surely we should have kept it in play up there end rather then putting the
Sideline over there endline to give them the quick puck out .

Galway are always beatable I feel when they aren't playing well. Expect Clare to come out on top next day with few points to spare. just my thoughts.

Mc looked like an ankle? What happened Tuohy? Can't see Daithi being ok after 100mins of that. It'll be up like a balloon, surely.
