I'd say your best bet would be to pm GaaboardMod5, he seems to be most active on here

Thanks!

Mossy Bruce: Not sure we have a lot (or any) Clare posters at this time. 

I'd advise keeping in touch with the hurling thread and the Div 3 football thread for matters touching on Clare hurling and football.  I'm sure any questions you have from afar (Oregon, if memory serves me right) can be answered from the contributors here.  Most posters on hurling matters seem quite knowledgeable across all counties, and while the Clare footballers may have slipped from recent highs, they remain well known among the big-ball aficionados and a Munster Final should be a very realistic target for the Banner.

But if there is a demand for a Clare-specific thread, I'll look into it.

Meanwhile, enjoy.

Wow! Thanks for the very prompt response (and suggestions)!

If you build it, they will come(?)

What does it take to get a new sub-board created? I'd love to see one for Clare.

I'm posting this for future reference so I can figure out what the hell everything means toward the end of this year's league.

Looks like I might have to give in and get a subscription to Laois Today. I could see in the visible three lines of an article on the match that Jer Quinlan got 1-3 from play. Nice!

Have the starting 15 been announced for Sunday?

I use the Score Beo app for all GAA score updates. Its good as it gives you the line ups, who scored etc. Id try download that.

I will check that out. Thanks, Ottoman!

Down should be a cakewalk for Laois.

Yeah, I hope so. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start looking at upcoming fixtures and saw Laois was paired up against Down. That's when I realized that things have really changed since I last followed Laois hurling back in 2019.

Do you have any ideas on following this match against Down? I used to follow matches on Twitter (without an account) but now Twitter/X requires an account to see any postings.

As far as following Sunday's match against Down, it looks like GAAGO will not be streaming it (no surprise, but they *will* be streaming the Down v. Kerry match on Feb. 10 -- what the hell!). I am hoping Midlands Radio will be covering the match. Westmeath is playing the day before, so no competition for air time, there. I can't remember. Does Midlands Radio cover Biffo matches?

Like your optimistic flourish at the end!

It has worked in the past!

Strong cork team. Had most of them

Wow! Impressive.

I heard it said by many that the demise in Laois hurling over the last couple of years can be attributed to Mossy Bruce disappearing off the scene. Now that you are back, I expect Laois' fortunes to take a turn again.

Good to have you back Bruce. Hopefully we will have some success to celebrate on the forum in 2024.

Haha!          Wait. Damn, now I feel guilty.

Welcome back Bruce.

Did you manage to get over to Durrow?

Thank you!

Well, early last year, we had the money all saved up to get back there -- finally. We bought a couple of travel books to help us start planning our trip when my wife's car made it clear it was ready to give up the ghost. So instead of a trip back there (probably several trips), we have a yellow Honda Fit in the driveway.     

(dusting off this long dormant account)

Hello, lads!
I hope all is well with you.
