[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 7065257, member: 28532"] Alas I think KK have a killer instinct that we currently lack. When they're ahead they put their foot to the floor and keep it up. It helps too that they play so many big games in Croke Park. I think I heard the commentator say that of the 15 that started for Clare it was first time playing in CP for 12 of them. KK teams have CP as their second home. And home ground advantage can be the difference between winning and coming very close. I think at the moment Kilkenny would beat us tbh, but they've a ruthless manager who isn't universally popular even in KK despite bringing is it 11 All Irelands to KK in 23 years and back in another final could make it 12 in 24 years. That's a guy who has them flake sh*t out of each other in every training session in his quest for success. The 4 week lay off didn't have them rusty at all because they know they have to compete even in training sessions or Cody will draft in someone else. We need a ruthless manager who won't stand on reputation, and will take under-performers off even if they are iconic names, who if nothing else, has a word with CCB and pass on instructions to the refs in the county that matches are to be reffed like intercounty matches - let the physical challenges go. Don't be blowing up for soft frees. [/QUOTE]
