Match Thread - Clare v. Cork

Clareman

Didn't see 1 so here goes, 2.5 minutes gone and Clare are up 2 points to 1

Clareman

Looks like Clare are playing a 2 man inside line, how that wasn't a free against Cork hand on back and took the boot off by clipping the heels

Clareman

Sorry, looks like Cork are using a sweeper rather than Clare with a 2 man full forward line.

SoD looked to be fouled twice in that attack, Clare up 3-1 after 6 minutes

Clareman

J*sus Golden is the most annoying player we have, does everything right except the last thing every time

marco_polo

Early doors but encouragingly we do look sharper than I have seen us in quite a while.

Taboola

What channel is showing this?

marco_polo

Only on Sky3

Clareman

**** it, should have been a goal there.

Thanks all.

Why didn't McGrath just shoot himself. No one near him

Rightwing

If Cork lose this, JBM's head must be put on a plate.

Clareman

13 minutes gone, Clare completely on top by thanks to frees it's level at 3-3, SoD looks badly injured, Aldo injury I'd say, our first scorable free coming up.

Man in front of him, took the right option in my opinion

Clareman

Point by Golden,

Clare up 5-3 after 14

Clareman

SoD doesn't seem to be at the races yet at all.

Clareman

That's a red card, striking the throat.

Yellow card, that'll do

14 yards out. Not like him to pass.

Clareman

That should have been a goal for us, great hook by Cork on Kelly

5-4 now

Honan on the other hand looks very sharp so far

Clareman

J@ysus Honan is like a magnet for the ball.

It's almost like the team heard the commentator saying that Clare only had 2 wides, 2 bad wides.

That's a yellow for Cork if Conlon's was yellow, yup, yellow it is.

Clareman

I don't know what Dillon was trying ther.e

Is there a Clare man down injured agian?

niallo27

Clare should really be well in front.

Clareman

Even though it has gone wide, Horgan has to have the classiest free taking style in the game.

Clareman

9 wides for Cork, Clare up by a point after 20

Clareman

WTF is McGrath doing back there?

marco_polo

Either Clareman can see the future or there is a bit of a lag on Sky Go

Clareman

10 wides for Cork.

What was SoD hoping to do there???

Clareman

Why are the commentators calling Morey the Clare sweeper?? He's playing his position, he's just free cause Cork are playing the sweeper.

Bad wide by SoD

Clareman

Depending on your internet speed there might be up to 30 seconds of a buffer on Sky Go

Poor enough to be honest, either of these would want to improve a bit if they want to threaten Kilkenny or Tipperary later in the summer.

Clareman

You can change your buffer size in settings I think, I wouldn't bother if it's working though,

All square after 25.

Clare are completely on top by Cork have had terrible wides, weird game.

Clareman

J@ysus Browne WTF was that?

Poor enough game alright, terrible conditions though.

niallo27

Clare tactics are ****en clueless.

I can't understand worrying about Kilkenny but not Tipp, Clare have won more All Ireland's than Tipp in the last 20 years.

Best not touch it as its working just need to pick moments to look at the thread.

And I thought Limerick were wasteful in the first game. Cork have been even worse so far.

Seems to be to play good ball into the full forward line, but players are being caught in possession the whole time, the sweeper isn't helping them.

Should be 7-7 after 28

They are running too much with the ball slowing everything down.

Bit like being in the pub when they are listening to the radio commentary which is ahead of the TV

Clareman

Golden did well there, I wonder if that shot went over though

Clareman

Well worked free there, Clare up 8-7 after 30.

Nash messed up a quick puck out there to the loudest cheer of the game.

The sideline maybe

No pressure on and no-one watching, probably went straight over the bar.

9-7 after 31.

Clareman

Interesting stat there that Clare only have lost 1 puck out.

marco_polo

Winning good ball in the full forward line but the sweeper is working well for Cork as the man has very little space to work with

Edit 15 on 15 I reckon we might have had a goal or two

Clareman

Some free from Horgan inside his own half.

The game mightn't be the best but at least there isn't a lot of frees

And surprisingly so as its BK refereeing

Clareman

Wow, more than 1 minute injury time in a first half, haven't seen that in a long time.

After giving a free there against Dillion and a yellow, I thought it was a free out.

level after 35

Clareman

Fair enough, he was holding, I assume it was for persistent fouling.
