'Does this statement issued by the Clare panel and management on the departure of Davy O'Halloran and Nicky O'Connell bring the matter to a close? Not at all. Instead, this is like pouring petrol on to a dying fire. I'd have been much happier if the Clare panel and management had just let the thing go. Now, there is a real danger that O'Halloran will be further aggrieved by this statement. So the whole thing could snowball. He might feel he has to respond.'The players' statement last night highlighted what it felt was a number of 'inaccuracies' without pointing out or clarifying what they felt was mis-represented by the various news reports over the last number of days. The statement also cast doubt on the version of events described by O'Halloran. Loughnane feels the Eire Óg clubman will be even more angry after last night's missive from his former teammates
'This statement is a mistake. There is a reference to inaccuracies in a former player's statement. How is this going to go down? I can't understand why that claim has been put in the public domain. There are people who are alway willing to think the worst of Davy Fitzgerald. 'That's why I think Davy Fitz and other members of the management team made a mistake by lending their names to the statement. Those with a jaundiced view of the set-up will straightaway presume the players were put under pressure to sign the statement.'Clare face Kilkenny this Sunday in the Allianz League in a crucial game if they are to avoid relegation. This controversy is just the last thing that the county and Davy Fitz would want ahead of the game in Nowlan Park. However if Loughnane is right then there could be much more ugly details revealed in the coming days. H/T to The Irish Daily Star
