Alan Kelly possible replacement

**footballfriend** · 28/11/2013, 9:45 AM

S Kelly was training last night. Has he suddenly picked up an injury??

**Planners** · 28/11/2013, 9:48 AM

No place for DO'Grady ? - - - one of the best full backs in the League IMO

**Planners** · 28/11/2013, 9:50 AM

Spoke to him and he said he wouldnt be there , probably on the **** the night before anyway - he must be looking for excuses already - tends to get taken off alot in games or just dosnt start !!
Funny he had ideas he'd get on the Irish Junior team

**footballfriend** · 28/11/2013, 9:58 AM

Interesting to hear. Doubt its true. Dnt think its true. David O'Grady is also injured.

**Planners** · 28/11/2013, 10:19 AM

Is that old fellow still playing - Russell - - havnt heard anything from him in while

**mouldedstuds** · 28/11/2013, 11:23 AM

spoke to who? kelly or d o grady. big loss for club and county if true, ( kelly that is)
put malley in for injured duck so and put e o brien in midfield with daniels centr back,, plenty of options

**fifty50** · 28/11/2013, 12:03 PM

If we want to play a passing game out from the back Daniels isn't an option

**mouldedstuds** · 28/11/2013, 12:44 PM

what about r phillips, he played the last few games didnt he

**Second** · 28/11/2013, 1:45 PM

Lads the desmond league will have the bare 11 any team clare put out will win easy

How would an OT team only have the bare 11? surely they would just call up a few more players, doesn't even make sense

There out, 4pm on a Saturday and nothing to play for, can't imagine they'll put up too much if a fight

Oscar Traynor isn't seen as a prestigious competition to most leagues anyway.
not sure they even entered last year.

Exactly fifty50 ..

I'm not disagreeing with you just saying the fact that if they can only put out the bare 11 considering they can pick players from all of the Desmond surely they would at least get together 16 half decent players. Doesn't show a great interest whether they are out or not is my point

Thankfully this Clare set-up will be only interested in how they and their players approach this game and won't be taking anyone for granted.

irrespective if the desmond league put out their best team or a team dragged together, it is of no concern to clare.
progress straight to a qf is all that matters
best of luck to the lads tomorrow
