Right lads there's been 200+ plus pages since Saturday night and I am just not gonna go through so apologies if already been said.
Obviously huge disappointment, gutted absolutely gutted.
I've yet to watch back the game or acknowledge any posts/clips on social media bar Downey's goal, Tony Kelly's goal and the jersey pull.
After Clare hit their purple patch after about 15 mins they kept tipping away and kept the pressure on us.
They did their homework on the pucks our half forwards were not as effective as they were previously.
It was fine margins and rub of the green for Clare too.
Murphy overall tbf had an ok game in my opinion minus a few pro Clare decisions, not calling the black card as it was (it's been given for less) and obviously the jersey pull.
Murphy's performance did start to dip after he got the knock and could see he was getting physically tired, he was not cut out for Extra Time at all.
There's a reason they have the reserve ref.
How Murphy was appointed anyway is beyond me should not have been a Munster ref.
I will like I said earlier in the year now eat my words and apologise. I was critical of Pat Ryan at the start of the year with his selections and tactics for the Waterford and Clare games and said going on previous treatments of likes of Meyler and Kingston they were called out for much less.
However when our backs were to the wall he stepped up and made those changes (some of which were highlighted by myself and others)
The 15 he chose were our best, plain and simple.
At the start I may have suggested other players etc and a few of us debated some positions but I was proved wrong.
I am also delighted to say I've been proved wrong and eat my words about Pat Ryan, I am as I said disappointed but very proud of the year the lads had and the memories they gave us.
Thanks for the year.
We'll be back again, no fear.
