Clare GAA discussion thread

eroo

Thought I'd start this thread as haven't found one of the same.

So, 2010.. new decade... new beginnings? With the aim of the League being to get back into Division 1, could Clare also achieve success in Munster this year?

The fixtures for 2010:

31.01.2010 Waterford v Clare(Waterford Crystal Cup SF)

21.02.2010 Clare v Down (NHL)
28.02.2010 Laois v Clare (NHL)
14.03.2010 Clare v Wexford (NHL)
21.03.2010 Antrim v Clare (NHL)
28.03.2010 Carlow v Clare (NHL)
04.04.2010 Clare v Westmeath (NHL)
18.04.2010 Kildare v Clare (NHL)

07.06.2010 Waterford v Clare (MHC)

As well as a proposed friendly versus Cork, Ger O'Loughlin has a good load of matches to blood players from U-21's into the senior game. With the opponents in the League not posing a major threat some would argue Clare wont get as much preparation as Div 1 teams, but maybe it will give them an opportunity to focus on their strength and conditioning?

So, Clare face Waterford on Sunday at 2pm in Ballyduff Upper.. I think they should win against this weakened Waterford side, but I think it will be close tbh. But could Waterford topple us in the pre season tournament?

I was only saying it to my auld fella at the weekend. If Dublin concentrated their efforts on the hurlers, they'd do the All-Ireland double (hurling and football) within 5 years.

Maybe timescale is off but they're certainly capable.

the cuala manager should get the job in my opinion , if they had stability in the camp there is no reason they cant win one , they have the makings of a serious team

agree with this , the one game that surpass the cratloe v bridge game is the townies v clooney/quinn , clooney are flying at the moment and peter duggen is on fire for them , eire og did have an impressive win over whitegate but are up against a far more confidant unit this time around

the blues are starting to click again and the injuries are starting to mount for ballyea , clonlara will be too strong for tulla , and going by what i saw in the park the night cratloe and the bridge were part of a double header sixmilebridge looked out and out favorites for the championship on there win over ballyea

Tell me how

Anything resolved with this last night?

long and short of the situation is , no change to the draw ,

they shot themselves in the foot a little i am led to believe by waiting too long to lodge an appeal , also i dont believe they had anyone form the club there that night at the initial draw

the same occurrence happened in the hurling draw this week as sixmilebridge were drawn out against ballyea ( both teams met in the second round ) the two teams were put back into the hat and redrawn

i am not 100% sure i think they left the appeal too long or something like that

Clare are hardly going to dispense with the two boys after one year? Any management team needs at least two and imo three years to get a team playing their way. Clare had a very defined style before the boys took over and that can take quite a while to alter. I don't think they were helped by Ballyhea's extended run either in their first year.

Daly is a nice bloke and I have met him a few times, but he's a bit of a chancer to be fair, a reputation built on very little substance and I'm fcuked if I know, or anyone in Limerick that I have talked to, what exactly he was supposed to be doing in Limerick, the term money for old rope comes to mind.

agree with this dead sound guy but , to be fair limericks underage record in the last 4 or 5 years has been better hen most in the country , dont know why he was drafted in in the first place

if i was to guess i could see him get involved with his club clarecastle who are in a relegation playoff in two weeks time and are going backwards fast. daly was involved with there minors a couple of years back and won the minor championship as manager

dont think he will go back to dublin , he has said a number of times that he even struggled to get a balanced set of results with them or consistency on a year to year basis

Any speculation on him taking over your boys? Some rumours that he might want to come back to Dublin.

The problem ocurrys have is . There were 4 teams left in the draw. Milltown and corofin in one pot and themselves and Eire og in the other

Because corofin had played Eire og earlier in the championship they can't meet again which only left one outcome and that's corofin v curry s Milltown v Eire og

Nobody at the time spotted the mistake until it was too late . The fixtures should be changed around .

The real joke here is the fixtures are down for the weekend . The complaints went in last Tuesday and its only been delt with now

That first tie should be very good. Clonlara should come through tulla and the other two are even enough.

Why is taking so long for county board to run off junior football championship??Played first group games mid July and nothing until this weekend which is a disgrace. Final wont played til October/November at this stage. CB has no regard for club footballers yet again!

Stationmaster

Most of the weekends matches went as expected. Cratloe and Clooney won as expected. The Mills put it up to Ballyea, who seem to be even more dependent on Kelly and Deasy than they were last year. Tulla winning was a bit of a shock. IK have a way better team on paper but they have failed to make any great impact at senior level now since they came together (bar the first coupe of years) that you'd wonder what the problem is there. Great win all the same for Tulla who are in serious bonus territory now.

Crusheen won well as expected. Feakle faded very badly against Shannon after been 3 points up 4 minutes into the second half. Shannon scored something like 9 points without reply then. I'd still fancy Feakle to stay up but it will make for an exciting relegation final which I presume will be on sat/sun week.

I agree 100%! It's the type of situation whereby a club will do what suits them best and you couldn't blame them. However, the point stands - it's no harm highlight one of the mess ups the county board have made this year irrespective of the motives.

You can bet your bottom dollar if they hadn't drawn Miltown they wouldn't have lodged an appeal.

Bit of a farce alright, but would you not agree that it shows an awful sign of weakness from whoever lodged the appeal?

Yes and no. From outsiders looking it it might be perceived as that. However, I'd say fair play to them for putting the spotlight on the executive of Clare Gaa for just one of a number of incidents that has happened this year and that should not be allowed or tolerated within a voluntary run sports body not to talk about a sports body that is meant to be administered by full time paid personal.

ShortKickOut

Clare FM are reporting that it is O Currys. Massive sign of weakness as they are playing Miltown a team they haven't played already. If they draw them again you would imagine Miltown have a big physchological advantage.

They felt they should have been drawn against corofin so corofin won't be short of motivation either if they are paired in the new draw.

Reports of an appeal gone gone in against last week's football draw due to repeat pairings. I agree there shouldn't have been repeat pairings but don't know the precise ruling. If county board have broken a rule with the draw its a farce. 5 days out and there may have to be a new draw.

same as two weeks ago for ballyea , far too relent this year for scores of them two , they will struggle to go any further , shame the mills couldnt pull off the shock , would have marked huge progress for them to get to the last 8

windy shepard henderson

tulla and clooney/quin continue there good runs in the championship with contrasting wins to gain the final 1/4 final places . tulla hung on in the end while another superb performance from peter duggen has put clooney/quin into the last 8

clarecastle showed why they are probably favorites for the drop , another huge defeat today , this time to crusheen who are now safe , hard to see the magpies staying up now ,

I thought repeat pairings weren't allowed? Didn't Eire Og and Corofin play in the first round.

it should never have happened but the excuse the county board were using last night was that there were 3 possible repeat fixtures and used the term "where possible" as to avoid the situation

o'currys management were furious as they should have been automaticly paired against corofin and eire og v miltown , as the were the last 4 teams to be drawn ,county board didnt cop this until the draw was made , there take on it was the draw is made now we cant go back on it :rolleyes:
,
the winners and losers from the previous round had been kept apart but not the teams who previously played each other ,
