My last word on Clare, till we meet again, 3 championship games in the last 12 months, they beat us in a tight game down the Pairc and beat us again in an even tighter game in the all-Ireland and last Sunday they dragged us into a fight and almost beat us again. But they didnt
Last Sunday showed me two things, when we open up we are devestating and almost unplayable, but we must maintain that level for 70 minutes not just 35 and we must keep our heads when all around are losing theirs, the feckers are inside our heads at this stage and for me that’s a good thing, if we have anything about us there will be no let up the next time we play them
Time to focus on Tipp lads, this is a defining moment in our teams journey, win and we are back on track, lose and we are back playing Russian roulette with our season, just like the Clare game id take a one point win on Sunday
But I want to see a hurt team with fire in their bellies and calm in their minds
Bring on the team announcement, it will be very interesting
