Please explain

from what i've been told by people that are in the squad and close to the squad is that players arent happy with the training and training facilities or lack off. They were ringing certain clubs during the week begging them to let them use their facilities for training at a few hours notice. Certain players arent happy they werent playing last week and made it known. Squad for clare was named and certain senior players were told they werent in it or wouldnt be starting again. Players had meeting and ended up urging manager to pick 'stronger' team. Alot of players peeved off and thinking about quitting.
Be interesting to see what team takes the field in cusack park.

Would a players strike be frowned upon?

Is the management really to blame?What more can they possibly do in the situation they have found themselves in?Lads this is Clare we are playing after all hardly a top team
Down by 4
Fermanagh by 1
Meath by 2
Cork by 3

I'd love to have your optimism and be proved wrong but can't see it.

[Mike Tyson]

Has the team been named?

I'd love to have your optimism and be proved wrong but can't see it.

If we win tomorrow we have a chance. If we lose, the season is already over.

niall mccoy from gaelic life had it on twitter earlier. Thats the same team I heard yesterday that when announced certain players made it known they werent happy. Suppose we'll just have to wait and see what actual team lines out.

[saulzer]

That's the team Burns has named. If Down line out this way,I predict a Clare win by +6. Four of the rookies from last week plus two new rookies, even though the management admitted last week that starting 6 rookies was a mistake. That is downright bizzare decision making. If it's not the team that will line out, that is also poor management - how are players meant to focus if they don't know whether they're playing an hour before the throw in?

The players know who is going to start. The players are told the true team, and the media are told a dummy team (if there is one).
