He was quite visibly skinnier and weaker than every other player on the pitch yesterday. If he's not scoring goals he isn't going to finish a game with 5 or 6 points to his name. Same with Honan, got some good scores yesterday but isn't likely to finish a game with more than 2 or 3 points. I think we need far more from these guys if they are going to continue to start.

Take away the 6 points that we gave away from the goals and in my opinion you have a fair reflection of the difference between the 2 teams. What a terrific display Tony Kelly put on, his goal was brilliant intelligent heads up play and to get the 2 points to win the game shows class and leadership, he had a bad miss at the end of the first day but he didn't shirk his responsibility. At the end of the game the ref tried to be "fair" by giving Clare a chance to draw, he knew if he gave Waterford a free that that'd be the end of the game, he probably figured he'd give a free to Clare to give them a chance to bring it to extra time, I still can't understand the Waterford goalie at the end, surely at that stage you hit the ball into the stand and re-group in extra time.

I for one, would be ashamed to "win" a game in such a manner. Tony Kelly should consider going to Rio this summer. He'd be in with a medal shout with his diving skills. But wait, he should have been red carded long before the simulation. Social media has exploded during the past 24 hours, neutrals galore labeling the Clare team as a ''bunch of cowards". We saw Davy shouting at waterford players throughout the match, what does he have to do to get a ban? Classy in victory as always, innocent-looking Clare women roaring abuse into the faces of shocked opposition supporters at full time, before sprinting off, giving them shoves into the back along the way. Disgraceful scenes. No wonder the whole country is against clare, hope it was worth it though. Complete and utter embarrassment to hurling & sportsmanship as a whole.

A lot of things went on down here towards the end of Davy's time in charge of Waterford and Davy probably deserved far worse to be honest. I'd have taken his head off if I was either of them. What he was yesterday was a disgrace, and it's not just yesterday it's been going on years. He was at it when he was in charge of Waterford and lots of people down here disliked it then. Please god someone does a James Ryan on it with Davy & puts him into the stand with a shot, it might shut him up. On a side note, the people here giving out about Dan, obviously Clare people didn't see him telling Waterford supporters to stop booing Tony Kelly yesterday. Dan, unlike Davy Fitzgerald or that other idiot Cusack, is a class act. He's passionate & wants the best from his team, he doesn't carry on the way Clare fellas do.
