Looking at Cork team and bench there... I don't see Jack O'Connor... is he injured or no longer involved?
He’s on the bench alright, #23
If Tony Kelly turns up.. Clare will win..
Any truth in the rumours that the ticket distribution in Dromahane didn't exactly go to plan…..
Had another look and it was the list of extended panel members I was actually looking at... surprised to see Ben cunningham not on 26
I heard there were some (unsubstantiated) rumours going around but I also heard from others that these were untrue. The rumours related to Dromahane GAA club which does not exist. Dromahane village is part of the Kilshannig club catchment.
The man that they call Casper. He probably turn up fine against Cork as he would **** the pants if it were against the team in green and white.
Not sure what this is based on, Kelly has been outstanding in many matches against Limerick. He’s a class player hopefully we can keep limit his influence on the game. I see Clare have named the same starting 15 for whatever that’s worth, Lohan often makes changes before throw in.
If Kelly is playing well it's because the players around him are winning the ball, dominating and laying it off. That is the tell-tale sign that Kelly is going well. He breaks, he runs and he sets himself up for scores.
At this stage both teams have no real surprises left that haven't been analysed, it should be down to lads on the field doing their things.
When is he on the 26 lately?
True
Bit disappointed that Cleary is staying on with the footballers. Seemed like a good opportunity for a change.
Anyways, getting fierce excited for the match now. Want as many people as possible bigging Clare up and would be letting them.
You should look up his scoring record against Limerick.. It's KK that tied him down.
He's a hit and miss player. Plays good one day and anonymous the other. It's consistency is his issue. Hopefully himself and O Donnell are quite in the final if we have any chance of beating this magnificent Clare team.
Sounds made up alright so.
bar curtailment with injury he's an 8/10 every day. His scoring record isn't far off Horgan and TJ Reid from play but he isn't the free-taker. Let's see how he goes on Sunday. He's not fully right yet,, but he is getting there. I expect a big one on Sunday.
Well it looks like I'll be driving up to Dublin on Sunday morning without a ticket and hoping for the best up there. In previous finals I had spare tickets that I was able to give to someone deserving but this time things haven't gone my way, my usual contacts weren't able to help this time and I'd no luck in the club draw.
If anyone here knows of someone with a spare could you keep me in mind please? I'll make sure to buy a few club lotto tickets to your club of choice as an extra thank you.
Is it true about what's going on in the Dromahane Club in Cork over all Ireland final tickets?
There is no Dromahane club.
I though there was a few down that direction

It's part of Killshannig gaa club.
Didnt see the msg and don't have info subscription. What does it accuse them of? Without knowing anything no smoke without fire would be my first thoughts on it
They gave the tickets to friends of theirs is what I heard instead of doing a fair draw. Apparently the players of the club refused to go to training after the news emerged.
Good old WhatsApp message...I've heard the army are rolling in to deal with the situation .
Safe travels to everyone this weekend. Upper Cusack for me this time. Up the Rebels!
Enjoy the game should be a cracker. Travelling up myself but no ticket yet Hopefully might get one above.
the nerves have started!!! I couldn’t get a ticket so I’ll be sitting on a bar stool tomorrow!! Few whiskeys before to sort out the butterflies! You’d swear I was playing!!!
Should be raining tomorrow. Might be like the 1999 All Ireland final.
I won't lie i'm a bit nervous here, but i'm also in no doubt that if this team hits top form and plays to it's full potential, then Clare can have Tony Kelly, Jesus, Buddha or Allah on their team for all i care, it won't make one iota of a difference we'll all be celebrating Liam McCarthy's return to Leeside tomorrow evening.
Safe journey going to Dublin and back everyone and let's raise the roof off the stands for the 1999 team as well! Rebels Abu it's time for Hoggie to get that long awaited and deserved all Ireland medal.🔴⚪
On the way up now, road full of cork flags
