Id probably persist withpat o'connor at full back though, i think he has being growing into the position. Dillon is probably the other main candidate for no. 3 but id like to see him tried in the half back line. Mcinerney would be my first choice for no.6 but seen as he will be unavailable for the league id like to see dillon given a go there. Cleary and bugler shared no.6 a good big this year, but personally i think bugler should not be in the team going forward. Id have cleary in the mix for a place on the wing. hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1818 - 17/11/2016 12:12:59 1935040 Link 0 0 |
Hogan, Quirke, McCarthy, Mcgrath, and Guilfoyle are some of the players being looked at,,,, hoppingball (Galway) - Posts: 963 - 17/11/2016 21:25:22 1935213 Link 0 0 |
i have a question on the goalkeeper.why has quilligan never made the cut at senior.i,ve watched him in fitzgibbon for 3 years and he has been very good.davy made a comment after competition last year that he was a top keeper but he never included him thought it was strange.i feel the 2017 championship will be very competitve and interesting.who ever wins between clare and limerick guaranteed a quarter final.

And here we have a - God-only-knows-what - who certainly didn't watch the All Ireland quarter final in which Clare went out.

Childish comment. I am a huge fan of Galvin but from the league semi on he had a poor season overall. If you cant see that then perhaps the only game you watched this season was the quarter final? LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 1986 - 21/11/2016 04:18:36 1935663 Link 0 0 |
I know its still very early for this kind of thing, but now that we know that we will be without the ballyea lads for the early part of the league, the following is the team id like to see given a go in the early part of the year. hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1818 - 21/11/2016 08:55:02 1935673 Link 0 0 |
Galvin is one of the finest hurlers playing the game,,, and a real nice fellow into the bargain,,,, hoppingball (Galway) - Posts: 963 - 21/11/2016 09:03:17 1935675 Link 0 0 |
CTGAA 10,I completly agree with you on your statements on the feakle goalie,Quinlivan.Thw Clare team is operating with just one goalie, Kelly Iwould rate him as good,above average.The other two tried Touhy and Fahey have not worked and we should be getting an additional keeper should the need arise. 1 have watched QUINLIVAN since his minor y ears. He has served for a few years now with the senio r team.They reached the semi final of the championship and were beaten three points by Ballyea in a very close game. We all know what Ballye did after that,Quinlivan played well in the championship and gave up few goals.He had quick reflexes and a magnificent puck out. He also figured prominently in the Fitzgibbon Cuo with davy fizgeralds LImerick univrsity club. Davy had a very high opinion of him as a keeper.I would enourage the management to give QUINLIVAN a chance.

Im not sure who this Quinlivan you're talking about is boru! Are you talking about the all star tipperary football full forward?? Although while you're talking about keepers - i have to say i dont think the feakle goalie quilligan is up to intercounty level to be honest. hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1818 - 22/11/2016 12:38:09 1935956 Link 0 0 |

i mIsspelled Quilligan's name and i apologise for that.I still think he would make an excellent substitute goalie for Clare and should be given a try.It will be interesting what members will be added to the panel. Ballyea should cerainly be represented,but as a hurling man,Ifear that Brennan will stay with the footballers.I wish he would change.

Niall deasy will probably be the only new ballyea player on the panel.. hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1818 - 24/11/2016 22:09:27 1936570 Link 0 0 |
im not sure deasy will commit, he lives and works in dublin and not sure he has the love of county game he has for the club, but time will tell. good hurler, can win own ball and reliable free taker. Would be a good addition to panel anyways for a look out. Clareman (Clare) - Posts: 984 - 25/11/2016 10:25:16 1936633 Link 0 0 |
I'll tell you what's childish. Immediately after that game against Galway you were on here whinging about how you were 'gutted' that 'you' had not got to Croke park for three years. Now you tell me, exactly what sacrificises have you had to make to realise that goal? Colm Galvin put in a phenomenal performance in that game and HE had every right to feel gutted. Yet little keyboard warriors like yourself feel you can then come on here and state that he put in no performance of worth since the drawn League final. And you call yourself a supporter.

The argument here is that someone said galvin should have gotten an all star. hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1818 - 25/11/2016 22:16:12 1936767 Link 0 0 |
It is far from a pointless argument, bud. The debate about whether Galvin deserved an All-star or not is absolutely irrelevant here. It is a matter of the gall that certain keyboard warriors on this forum (yourself included) who, judging from their offerings here, have never picked up a hurley in their lives. can cry crocodile tears for the team going out, yet so nonchalently dismiss one of the performances of the year. And your previous comments on Cathal McInerney deserve the same contempt.

i cannot fully express how impressedI HAVEBEEN, A,MIGO veronica with you letters. Ithink you should take over the title ''expert''.What a relief It would be to read you opinions and not the ill advised ramblings of the self proclaimed expert!!!!!! brianboru (Clare) - Posts: 561 - 26/11/2016 22:41:17 1936882 Link 0 0 |
Jees. Someone must have hit a nerve with you. I am not going to get into a slagging match about something that quite honestly you have managed to blow out of all proportion and to add to it have tried to become personal on the issue. You know nothing about me and or hurlingexpert so keep your personal speculation to yourself. To think that because someone has committed so much they are "exempt" from any sort of criticism is a joke. It is part of being an intercounty player. I am sure Galvin is a top guy as he is a top player but to suggest that his performance levels from the league semi final onwards were as they should be or we should expect from a player of his ability is silly. Granted he was excellent against Galway but there were 5 other games after the league semi final. Ps: "I'll tell you what's childish. Immediately after that game against Galway you were on here whinging about how you were 'gutted' that 'you' had not got to Croke park for three years. Now you tell me, exactly what sacrificises have you had to make to realise that goal?" This doesnt even make sense??? How is that childish?
