All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (Liam McCarthy Cup) 2021

Boom__Boom

This game has me wondering what the record for wides is in a championship game is.

A one score thriller

If Waterford somehow pull this off Lohan should be sacked for leaving Shanagher on the field for this long, he has been septic.

Did Waterford put too much into the game against Tipp? No energy in them at all today, is the hard running game sustainable over a summer?

Few key injuries this week affected the gameplan a bit Id imagine, Moran probably wouldnt have started and looked really unfit today

Yeah, we were actually terrible, we basically only got to the final last year thanks to pure luck. We definitely werent trying out new things in the league either and slowly brining players back to fitness. No team should be worried about Waterford and should focus on the match afterwards as you will only have to show up on the pitch on the day to win. All our good players are basically at deaths door so you dont need to worry about them and we can only offer poor displays. We definitely dont offer a goal threat and dont need to be closed down, all defenders should look at any Waterford match as a training match at best. The best thing every tream can do against Waterford is reserve their energy for later in the Championship.

Dont know why that set you off. Waterford were very patchy in the league, thats a fact. Reinforced by that display today. That was a bad as Waterford have been since 2018 and 2019. Clare could have put 2-30 on the board. For all the talk about the Bennetts and Hutchinson they didnt threaten the Clare goal today.
Very poor.

It was a tongue in cheek joke, we lost several key players in the previous couple of weeks, didnt think we deserved to be written off before the first sliotar was pucked

Edit: the joke was that we d prefer to be seen as underdogs, if you need that pointed out

A very disappointing game. They ll both improve but the decision making out there was terrible at times. Clare fullback line was old school Clare ,tigers. Waterford were bang average and totally outplayed for 50 plus minutes

**** it, well done Clare but i think they need to move up a level to beat Tipp next week

For Waterford we now have time to rebuilt and its very important we get Prunty and Barron back to full fitness. Id very much prefer Galway out of the qualifier's but one of Dublin/Wexford and Kilkenny will be tricky as ever. Getting one of Antrim or Laois would be ideal. we wait and see

We got to all Ireland final last year? Being positioned as fourth would be writing us off for the year. Like what do you win for being fourth/fifth?

Waterford came back far too close for comfort today. I'd say the training session this week will need to focus on awareness and distribution in the opposition side of the pitch. Plenty of times a Clare player had the ball with plenty of time and passing options and they choose to take low percentage long range shots.

I'm not saying we shouldn't take long range shots, they can often be the right call, but when there is space and time to get into a better position, then we shouldn't be wasting possession like that, although I doubt we'll have as much space next week as we had today

Are the qualifier's neutral venues this year ? if i recall they were last year but previous years it was home team first out in the draw

The camogie teams of Galway Kilkenny would put those two teams to shame with the game last sunday night and the game to day.

Isnt this Clare's big weakness over the years? I remember ye having the quickest forward line years ago running in to space and it would be go for long range point every time.

Yeah every now and then it all clicks and these long range shots win us the match, but more often, it sucks the life out of the game and costs us matches

the full forward line could go half the match without touching the ball sometimes

Must have changed venues. I thought the Galway vs Dublin match was, initially, fixed for portlaoise.

Good to see a bigger attendance at the matches, at least.

So we finally get fans and the lucky buggers get a double header

Any sign of more attendees allowed for Munster semis?

Will be interesting to see if people object to Dublin having a 'home' game. Or is it just the footballers......;)

The hurlers 'actually' play in Parnell, not even remotely comparable.

Four minutes for a reply? Standards are slipping.

Give the man a break. I don't see what the issue is. He talks ****e for a living, big deal. That's the job of a commentator and a county board chairman. He's on point. Next stop, Taoiseach.
