He could tell you but then he have to kill you. :cool:

Sorry about all the secrecy but it is a little complicated. It doesn't implicate clare gaa or anything. ... It is a refereeing issue. It's affecting hurling as a group. I believe other counties are aware of this scandal but are scared to say anything in case their County gets tarnished. . It's something that they are privately hoping will make it into the papers without being prompted by any individual. Hence calls for "bodies to be investigated".

All it takes for injustice not to succeed is for the honest man to allude to it by innuendo.

So how are ye lads fixed for the football Sunday?

Kerry are in a rebuilding phase and ye are probably playing them at a relatively good time.

With 2 games under the belt ye surely have a good idea of how things are in camp?

Has it anything to do with GSOC?

The Clare lads are on the up and they're against a Kerry team missing some if it's teeth. Clare are obviously going to be well beaten

buck65 · 18-06-2014 04:39PM

Kerry should just about edge this by a dozen points , unless they play well.

Cheers lads - no chance of a repeat 1992 when Clare beat a Kerry team
who had Maurice Fitzgerald, Jack O'Shea, and Seamus Moynihan amongst others is what ye're saying?

Let's just say there will be a huge shock this weekend in Cusack park, however it won't be in the papers until Monday and I can't tell you what it is just yet.

Davys retiring?

Hidalgo · 18-06-2014 11:05PM

Hurling management had a letter read out at the meeting re club fixtures. Crux of it was that if club games go ahead, they won't be held responsible for future results and can't guarantee anything but they'll do their best.

What exactly were they openly guaranteeing anyhow? Think they also said the problem with the rd of club games played already was that county players were away from the county set-up for 3 wks, in reality it was more like one as stated by Clarecastle's manager.

You'd swear this rd of club games was thought up Monday morning or something as opposed to part of the masters fixture list drawn up last winter.

These games are going ahead in spit of rather than because of the co board

lets face it , no matter how bad kerry are going its division 1 vs division 4 and the only time we have ever been able to really compete with ye is when we were at least 2 divisions higher then where we were this year

the 92 team was a team of big men with a solid bench to call upon , the last time clare played kerry in ennis was 10 years ago where ye picked up a slightly flattering 2-10 to 0-09 win on yer way to the all ireland , but that time we were in division 1B (nowadays division 2)

the team we have this year is like the hurlers small and light with only a few ball winners around the place , a hard working team but when our fitness goes we offer very little,

i think cork beat us by 10 points last year, anything under that would be a success for us come sunday

sounds like a bit of a cop out from the management , most other counties have no problem playing club championship this time of the year and nobody wanted the fiasco that occurred last year when we had to hold the munster championship to our ransom because we couldnt keep our own house in order

We can expect to read about it on Monday? I'm intrigued to be honest,bursting to know to be brutally honest ðŸ˜. Do feel free to pm me if you feel the need to share!

But it is only because Clare lost Davy and your chairman will bring it up, makes one wonder what they already knew before the game but were willing to accept as long as Clare won.

Seems to be a lot of bad feeling between the clubs and Davy/the management team. Was talking to a club player today, and he said the whole 3 weeks thing made no sense.

You'd think that after winning the All-Ireland, people would be slightly more forgiving towards the management team, obviously their training methods and everything paid off in the end, but people seem quite pissed off at how things panned out last year club-wise.

cheers - would agree with the division 1 v division 4 bit really. it's just that there are a whole lot of questions about this year's Kerry team.

On the size thing, the Kerry team has a few lads (especially amongst the newcomers who would be regarded as fairly small/weak for intercounty at top level) Our backs would be fairly solid but there are a lot of questions over midfield - maher has been in shocking form and moran is only half-fit (was on crutches up to 2 weeks ago) the front 6 there are a lot of question marks over. I really wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than people are expecting, (unless Kerry manage to get goals early) There's also 10 lads in the match day squad who've never started a championship game for Kerry.

Our junior team should be strong - there are a few lads back from the team who won the All-Ireland in 2012 [Any player who wins the junior All-Ireland is barred from the next year's competition] so I would be a lot more confident about our juniors

Hard to resist a bit of Yerra, Boom Boom, even if it's only Clare - it's great to see the tradition maintained in the Kingdom.

This round of club games isn't being sprung upon county management. They've been set with months.
IMO Davy was assuming that clubs would agree to whatever postponements he sought.

This has happened time and time again, not just under Davy's tenure and I think for clubs its just a case of enough is enough.

In times past its often been club delegates that attended these meetings regarding postponements, the fact that club managers/trainers attended highlights the clubs unwillingness to bend on this issue.

Last yr, first round was played c 3rd weekend of June, 2nd round 3rd week of September.

Clareman · 19-06-2014 09:38PM

Davy blamed releasing the players to the clubs after the Cork match, last year he said releasing the players for the under 21 was a great thing, whether playing the games or not impacts on the inter-country side depends on the result of the next game, I've a feeling he'll be delighted of the excuse as he'll only get in trouble for blaming the Illuminati

yup you've caught me out - I'm obviously lulling the Clare lads into a false sense of security....

as regards our juniors I am a lot more confident - I was looking for a place to actually back them for the all-ireland earlier.
