Cork not playing extra time

    Hi all
    Well done Cork for beating a GREAT Dublin team on Sunday.

    But could people solve a argument between me and my sons.
    I remember being in Croke park in the 80s for a league fixture between Dublin and Cork. It was level at full time but only the Dublin team and the ref came out to play extra time.

    Barney Rock went up and put the ball into the Cork net and the game was ended.

    The rumour that went around Croke Park about Cork not appearing was that they would miss the train home if they played.

    many thanks for any help

    i know it happened alright. think dublin scored a point while cork were celebrating a goal or something and they didnt come back out as an up yours to the ref. They stupidly thought there would be a replay which obiously didnt happen. I could be wong but think Billy Morgan was manager.

    That was all clarified in the newspapers on Saturday. Billy Morgan refused to let the team go back out. 100% his fault.

    Thank you all . You just proved to my sons that I am not suffering from dementia.

    Would love to get a report on the game and the reactions afterwards

    It was voted in RTE's GAA top 20 moments of all time about 5 years ago.

    We were dead right too, the last thing you would want to happen is to miss the 5.45 Heuston special and have to wait until the 9pm night train to Kent Station. You wouldn't be home for the night and besides it was hard to find Murphys in Dublin at the time. What were we supposed to do after the game to kill the three hours? :p

    What would have happened if Barney had kicked it wide and there was no one to kick the ball back out?

    Probably just as well Eoghan O'Gara wasn't around at the time... only joking. :pac:
