Quote from: imtommygunn on May 20, 2024, 10:41:53 AMDavy and Lohan have a very unhealthy relationship. I expect it's the same for a good few of them. I don't know the full ins and outs but a lot of stuff there with his da etc.

If you ever get a chance there used to be a thread on Clare hurlers on how Brian Lohan got the job. He wasn't even interviewed for the job even though he'd expressed an interest in going for it and it was going to another (highly regarded coach all the same) lad known to be friendly with Davy and his Da only for a delegate to complain about how Brian was treated and then some other delegates rowed in behind and lo and behold he got appointed.

Some of the goings on in the Clare CB would take some beating, and in his first year Lohan had to put his hand into his own pocket for a lot of stuff for the panel of players before a separate organisation or supporters club got together to finance them and the centre of excellence...

Yeah, Lohan has to pay for a meal with his own credit/bank card.

Tipp pick up the Munster minor title with a good win over Clare last night, they're also in the U20 final on friday evening playing Cork, something positive in a very dark week for Tipp GAA.

The young Offaly fans are mad to get on the field to celebrate.

Got a replay in '98, could have cost a win tonight. Thankfully it didn't. Great win

Was there ordinary time still to be played?

I suspect the Leinster council, nor the Portlaoise officials expected such a crowd and were short on stewards.

They'd have known from all the tickets sold on-line.

Huge Offaly crowds follow their U20 teams. O'Moore Park next door to Offaly basically.

Screeny is some operator. Class act.

Basically KK through whatever happens but a real battle for the other two spots.

Be interesting to see who's in the Leinster Final.

Wexford have had Kilkenny's no. this past few years BUT KK had already qualified for the Leinster Final.

This is a bit different.
