so many taking points, in a close game every liitle decision gets huge scrutiny,
the non-penalty I think is correct as the ball is running through to the keeper,the missed 65 and last play are obvious mistakes,
however I am sure that two of the three Clare hawkeye "NÃls" were points(the last one was well wide),
a really bad foul put Rob Downey out of the match, they committed some really nasty professional fouls-several times they went in with wild swings
after that first 10 min when we were scintillating (1-7 to 0-3 after 11 min) Clare did have an edge,
but we were ahead as late as 83 mins and the ref gave Clare a very soft free to get level
however they missed more than we did and these games tend to tighten up as the end approaches.
There were some real mess ups by our sideline but they are heroes when we win,
One is why did we persist with long puckouts up the middle- I would say Clare got about 10 points directly from them,
Kingston looked superb but he need to be on sooner 60 min+ is tool late and even in extra time when we had more legs than Clare we failed to get him on the ball, I felt we always needed a goal and I would have brought Connolly back on especially after Cleary went off,
Coleman was probably our best player but he played an unnecessary risky ball with the scores level when he could have cleared our lines, Twomey lost it to Tony Kelly, Clare went ahead and we never came level again. The free Hoggie missed just on ht in et was also vital, the save from RoF when he should have taken a point.
Come again
