Watched it again there, it's almost like a comedy sketch, smacking your man in the gob with the big hand cannon, then telling him he'd have lost his knees if it wasn't for his "mate" in the back all the while turning round and pointing the gun at the "mate".

The "mate" then almost in shock saying he's shaking like a leaf....


Only in Belfast. ;D

Your near neighbours in ards may have something to say abou that ;D

They're still pucking the heads of themselves in Ards, the odd petrol bombing and the likes and it's not making the news the same...

Wonder why???

They also got by with a little help from their friends

Plenty of frees went against them too, that's the way it goes, marginal calls the lot of them.

The amount of coverage the Philip Schofield story has had, it’s totally inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

It sells, dafties are interested and that's all that matters, its like people interested in the Royals having a shit or coming out of a cafe or whatever

They're looking for the next Jimmy Saville scoop, Schofields actions were a bit "groomy" with that young lad all the same.

Their number of shots has reduced . Their accuracy numbers are down too.

Vrs Cork they still got off 50 shots I believe as they normally would, some of the attempts were from positions and under duress that they wouldn't normally take on, that's changed as much as anything. Pressure of being in a tight game can do that to you.
They also knew there were goals to be had against that Cork defence, Clare showed the way in that regard, Limerick aren't known for actively targeting goals like that so they've added that string to their bow.  They also butchered a few goal chances as well.

I'd expect them to go at the Clare defence in a similar fashion, Cleary isn't the most mobile, but lob those balls in on Guillane and Flanagan like they did against Cork and Cleary would have made a much better fist of claiming them or making sure neither Limerick lad got them. Paul Flanagan and Morey don't possess that skillset although both are better over the ground to the diagonal ball in.

Lohan has a big decision to make on that one.

Shares the same apparently as the full forward of the Meath team of the 1980's

I always liked Meath's FF Brian Stafford.

I think you're missing an L in the surname...

Smacks yer man in the coupon with his desert eagle point 22  ;D

Going by the way he was moving when he came on can't see Cian being fully ready for this one.

Definitely doesn't look back to his sharpest.

He's got two weeks from the Cork game, but yes doesn't look to be operating at top speed when he did enter the fray..

Clare need a fullback for the final, they might have to choose between Paul Flanagan and Morey, neither ideal as you need someone in there with a bit of pace, physicality  and aerial ability, you need all to be able to deal with Guillane and Seamus Flanagan even with Conlon sitting deep in front.

Surely he can't be that stupid?

Evidently he is, but sure the peelers will let him off as having guns in your car isn't that big of a deal nowadays if you're on the PSNI payroll.

Coady may be the right thing tbh but with Mina gone then Keane or Holgate are not really up to it so he needs replaced.

I'm hoping Branthwaite makes the step up, but you'd need less error prone centre centre backs with him that Holgate (needs to go) and Keane (also needs to go).
Is Tarkoski and the injury prone Godfrey enough cover?

There may be big trouble ahead with the FFP from what I am hearing.

Can't count on DCL at all - his injury record is ridiculous. Needs to be on a pay for play contract. Cannon who went to Preston is highly thought of though would be a big step up. Reading today they looked at Abrahams of roma in january but he was probably too dear.

A serious clearout needed. Keane needs to go, probably Coady, Davies, Holgate and the list could go on quite abit.

The option to make Coady and Vinegre permanent after their loan deals has not been taken, so they're gone

Bryson, Nesbitt, Paisley, Foster, Alderdice. They'll all talking about a Unity Ref and they are all worried.

Wait till you hear Bin Lorry of the Newsletter almost in tears, pleading for help from the UK Gov and anyone else who'll listen about the plight Unionism finds itself in.

I take a English vote on a UI, they want to get rid of us. Where does, Bryson get his backroom qualifications from. He hadn't the brains to get into a real lawyer course.

When you spend most of your life in Bangor, Newtownards, Dundonald, Donaghadee, East Belfast and the likes you're bound to get the misconception that Unionism is still in complete control.

Premier view seems to be living down to the Tipp kn**ker stereotype

I used to frequent the premiumview forum back in the day, plenty of respectful posters on there so not going to draw on stereotypes...

It seems a bit silly by Clare to agree to Limerick as the venue. They should have played it in Cork. Big new stadium with no big games being played there.

Maybe they decided that rather than drive passed the Gaelic grounds and another 50 odd mile to Cork, they'd do their fans a favour and play it at the closest venue. Limerick fans would be coming in on the same road to Cork city.

Ballsy enough move but evidently Thurles not available..

Thurles was available to hold it, I don't know where you got that from

Clare CB wanted Thurles
Limerick CB wanted Cork

as per the statement issued by the Munster Council

Clare requested extra time on Monday night to consult and agreed to the Gaelic Grounds on Tuesday morning

Probably the logical choice as you'd have both sets of fans going down the n20 and Charleville and Buttevant are choked on normal days, the road to Thurles is worse again

Thurles not available in so much as the Munster Council knew of both teams preferences as you outlined and decided on Cork, Clare asked for another 24hours to review their options and then offered to play the game in Limerick.

50/50 ticket allocation will make it a good day out for both sets of fans, the Cork County Board losing out on a payout won't go down well.

Thurles was available to hold it and Clare wanted to go to Thurles

Munster Council hadnt decided on Cork ahead of giving Clare 24 hours to “review their options”

Jesus your some waffler

Are you saying Clare went off and decided to do a deal with Limerick in holding it in the Gaelic Grounds even after telling the Munster Council they preferred Thurles and the Munster Council not having decided where it was going?

Doesn't make any sense to do that from a Clare perspective.

Clare didn’t go off and do a deal with Limerick

If the deal was to be done

It was to be done between Clare and the Munster council

Munster Senior Hurling Final Venue Confirmed

Following a meeting today of the CCC of the Munster Council, it has been agreed that the Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final between Clare and Limerick will take place at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on Sunday June 11th at 1:45 pm.

This decision follows a request from Clare to the Munster Council CCC on Monday evening of May 29th to postpone making a decision on the venue to allow Clare time to explore the possibility of playing the game at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. Earlier, Clare had proposed Semple Stadium, while Limerick had proposed Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The Munster Council CCC agreed to postpone making their decision, and today Clare and Limerick have confirmed that they had reached agreement to play the game at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.

The 1:45 pm throw in time is to facilitate live TV and the possibility of extra time. The Leinster Final throws in at 4 pm.

Stand tickets will be distributed through participating County Boards only, while terrace tickets will be going on sale to the general public on Thursday June 1st at 12 Noon

END OF STATEMENT

No, Clare and Limerick reached an agreement, obviously needed ratified by the Munster Council, but sure it's all done and dusted now!

You do realise it’s up to the Munster Council to decide when and where games within the province are to be played


It’s amazing that some lad from Down knew that Thurles was unavailable

Even though Clare looked for it and it was available to host

And then knows all about the contents of “the deal” struck between Clare and Limerick,

And then knows the inner workings of the Munster Council

Remarkable

It's ok to be wrong once in a while, premierview even when the Munster council statement proves me right.
Just because I'm from Down doesn't mean I don't have contacts in both Limerick and Clare, let alone Tipp, heck Len Gaynor stayed in our house back when he managed the McDonaghs to a club AI, I could go on.
