    Cobh have been going down hill for a while and will probably go down I'd say.
    Haven't heard about Egan being píssed off - he can concentrate on the county team now and hope his club team just had a blip of a year.
    Kilbrin have a back door route in Duhallow! So Egan will be busy with his club for a while yet.

    Any idea when the draw for the next round of the hurling qualifiers is?

    I suppose you could say the same about your hurlers for the past 100 years

    Disapointing to come away empty handed from Killarney but it's a road we've been down before.

    I see we got Galway in the hurling - I expect that will be a battle of the full forward lines!

    The amount of fundamental errors that were evident today was frustrating to say the least - both on the field and on the bench. If we are to stand any chance of seeing Croke park in September these need to be addressed asap. Forget any of the 2nd half. Counihan needs to focus on how they managed to be destroyed for 35 minutes of the first half.

    No need for that. That "Soft"All Ireland consisted of us beating DOWN a team that Kerry have never beaten in Championship. So grow up. If a few things had gone right for Cork today a different result may have happened

    Could not agree more.

    I think though this might be the kick up the backside they need. The extra game should help although few teams will put it to us, but nobody will want to draw us either.

    I still think Colm O Neill is major loss to Cork this year. This was year I think he would push on from the talent he has..

    If the management learn from the awful mistakes then I rather suffer today for the long term gain.

    O'Neill is a big loss but unfortunately it sounds like Sheehan might have done his ligaments in - he said he heard a snap, not a good sign. We picked up quite a few injuries today that hopefully won't be too bad and that they will be fine for the next day.

    Ya Jesus Sheehan gone too and we really will have been hit bad, I just hope not as bad as looks *prays*.

    Kerrigan I taught played blinder and was also the reason I felt Cork did not push on to get equaliser when he had go off. Croke Park will suit him too

    Looks like Sheehan is out for the reat of the season. Coupled with Colm O'Neill it is a real blow for the forward line. Gould is at least a very good option and will start the next day. Nicholas Murphy should be back aswell. Cadogan will surely start aswell. Cork could benefit from the back door as long as they don't get Very Tough draws consecutively - a distinct possibility.

    The strength of our squad is really going to have to come into play now. Losing two of our best forwards to the same injury is something you couldn't make up really. Nick Murphy prob would have been worth a point or two on Sunday, solely based on his ability to clean up in midfield. It'll be good to see him back. Gould is handy and Denis O Sullivan really showed his vying for a place after some of his recent performances. Paul Kerrigan was red hot on sunday once we got going. Hopefully his injury isn't serious or proves to be recurrent.

    I dunno about avoiding the big teams in the qualifiers. Fcukit like. If you want to win sam you cant avoid anyone. We don't need a handy draw - we need good tough matches that come on to the wire and where our recent ability to see out tough games comes to the fore.

    Avoiding Kerry a 2nd time round worked out very well in 2010 though ;)

    I'm not sure about that. This team could get caught if they have to go to the well for every game from now on !!
    I would much prefer a handy enough match next, make no mistake about it. We will not be able to play tough games from now till the final and win. I really don't think any team can play to their best all the way through the summer, chances are you'll get caught somewhere down the line.

    I saw a team got a walkover in the senior hurling league last week as Bishopstown were scr ( I presume scratched) - what's the news there? Did I miss some news on them? Or was it a misprint?

    I wouldnt be so certain that Fintan Goold will automatically replace the unfortunate Ciaran Sheehan in the half forward line. Fiachra Lynch may well see some action in this jersey too.

    True, but more often than not Fintan comes on first, either way a bit of pressure on the starting 6 forwards is no harm at all.

    Do you think we will beat Galway??

    I personally am not too confident. If both teams play to potential I think Galway will win. I hope im wrong. Galway are very hard to predict but they have players that can win games..

    I'm fairly optimistic that we will beat Galway. Our defence is fairly good, always has been while our full forwards are dangerous if given the right ball. I don't expect more than a few points in it at the final whistle but I think we will be on the right side of a narrow victory.

    Just googled it and apparently alot of the reviews were originally by the company themselves. The word scam is thrown around alot on other sites, so beware. They apparently draw in all the 'free' streams from around the world and package them together. But they do have pros - a tenner gets you a year of their top package apparently.

    You have to go with tradition. Galway always struggle to beat Cork and this game will be no different.

    Shamo I'm with you on this. I'm confident If Cork turn up they will beat Galway.
