Was there extra time in those games or was it straight to pens.

Extra time

Maybe extra time was how its meant to be but Killyclogher Errigal went straight to pens. Teams seemed to have a discussion with the ref to avoid extra time

A very important programme, capturing very important testimonies.  Nothing but admiration for the family. I do believe that in time a lot more will be learned, but with evidence not gathered or destroyed, and some actors taking their dirty secrets to the grave, getting the whole truth could be difficult.

Not the most important issue by any means, but hearing how the two RUC men conducted themselves at the house really stuck in my throat, asking the wee girl why she was crying. Says it all.

I think we all know what was happening back then but to see it put out there yet again how Loyalist paramilitaries acted with total impunity, aided and abetted by "state agents" both in uniform and without uniform.

To hand someone a report with almost every page blackened out tells you all you need to know about how the British Gov, the RUC/PSNI and the Army would treat any truth and reconciliation commission.

This isn't rewriting the history of the troubles here, it's now shining a light on what really went on.

Stuff like this should be on the leaving cert. A very dirty war was run in the North against Nationalists and its about time people in the south especially were educated on that fact.

Clare's level dropped slightly but not by much and Limerick powered through that quarter. Clare did have a couple of bad wides in this period which might just have kept them in the game.

Keeper has been an issue for them for a few years now, but he is obviously the best they have. Great game and the only major problem for those outside of Limerick is that this will bring them on again. Ominous for the others.

The best time to lose to Limerick is now.

It is, but for now Clare are facing into going down to Franks pairc to meet a Cork team who are also bouncing off the back of a defeat to the supposed whipping boys in Munster.
Cork will go for goals as that's now perceived to be Clare's achilles heel, but they'll need to get the average age of that forward line down considerably if they are to cause Clare issues in that regard.
I also think Clare will look to put Peter Duggan close to the Cork square and lob the ball from distance into him to create goal chances of their own.

Corks need is greater but whoever loses this will do well to get the third berth in Munster.

We'll also find out what state Tipp are in this weekend and it would need to be a very large improvement from their league campaign.

Big issue now is that there's so many games, and high level ones at that, on every week-end.

Used to be 2 games on a Sunday to focus on.  Now it usually 4 or 5 on a Saturday and the same on a Sunday.

The imbalance of a split season I suppose.

The Sunday games been dreadful for years. I record it and fast forward through what I've already seen and the teeeible pundits.  They do need 2 shows. Prob 1 on rte1 and the other on rte2.

We need a separate hurling and football show, both 2 hours long especially at this stage of the season where there are so many games each weekend. The hurling show could be on Sunday night with football on Monday or vice versa. That would mean we could see proper highlights and allow for analysis which isn't rushed. That said we need better pundits than cavanagh and staunton who are both dismal.
