Cork GAA Discussion Thread

SigersonCup · 21-06-2011 6:19pm #1

Just thought I'd make a thread on Cork GAA seeing as noone else has made one already. Feel free to talk about anything about Cork GAA, especially hurling and especially the Senior Hurling Championship.

ShamoBuc · 21-06-2011 6:23pm

Quiet in here....... I think that will change ..... was about to put up a similar thread, surprised there wasn't one around previously.

I only started it around five minutes ago. I know, it's strange seeing a Clare GAA thread in a forum and not a Cork one.

Would anyone know who won between Douglas and Ballinhassig last night in the senior hurling championship please?

SigersonCup · 21-06-2011 6:43pm

Douglas 2-12 B'Hassig 0-14

SigersonCup · 21-06-2011 6:52pm

What do ye think the senior team will be against Offally??

ShamoBuc · 21-06-2011 8:41pm

Fairly similar to the one that started the last day I'd say - curran might start though!

closeline · 21-06-2011 10:48pm

Wouldn't be surprised if Jamie Coughlan got a chance the next day. He's more of a corner forward than Luke o Farrell imo.

Anyone hear about the St Nicks footballer that went on as a sub, ballooned the ball wide and stormed off the field into his car?

Crazy..... going out onto the pitch with your keys....I mean really!!

Hadn't heard about it, they lost anyway. It would have been even more hilarious if he was the last sub they could have used.:D

Heard that he blazed it wide, and was getting fingers pointed at him by the management and walked off after getting abuse.. LOL

Shottle · 23-06-2011 7:52am

Its still a very light full-forward line. I think you can't beat a big physical full forward

Light?? Paudie and hoggie are both 13 and a half stone!

SeaFields · 23-06-2011 11:59am

Will be interesting to see if they keep up the tactic of trying for goals more. In light of the lack of them in the tipp game vrs the chances they had and the goal feast they had against Laois, they must be well motivated to get the green flag waving.

SigersonCup · 23-06-2011 12:39pm

I still don't see what people see in Paudie Sull, he scored 3 goals in his last match..yeah, that was against Laois. He's never played well against any decent opposition.

People were saying that he's getting used to it now and all that, they were playing Laois.

Aswell, what is the story with Cadogan? He got cleaned out in at least two inter-county matches this year. Last year he got destroyed by John Mullane, and Lar destroyed him aswell..

What do people see in Lorcan aswell? All I seem to hear is that he showed a few nice touches in midfield blah, blah, blah. Yet what he really did was pick up a few loose balls and gave off a pass.

lynchy101 · 23-06-2011 12:43pm

Why in the name of god isint Cathal Naughton starting this year.
One of our best players

He hasn't played well for a while now, but I would prefer to see him in the team instead of Paudie Sull anyway.

ShamoBuc · 23-06-2011 4:07pm

Happy enough with that team and there are a few on the bench that could just as easily be starting, they will deliver if called upon.
I'm still not overly keen on Luke in the corner - too light and he really doesn't inspire confidence. Cork should win this, especially if they can do a good man marking job on the main threat that Offaly have.

ShamoBuc · 24-06-2011 7:57pm

I see the Echo have the latest goings on down at the County Board. Apparently they have contravened GAA rules in its appointment of a sub-committee to deal with Frank Murphy's successor. Never a dull moment down the marina!

Elsewhere.... Rory Hanniffy is back at centre back for Offaly for tomorrow's game. Once we can snuff out Dooley I would be confident enough of winning.

keep going · 24-06-2011 10:27pm

what do people think of the new underage setups. rural clubs are finding that the playin of all the different age groups at the same time a killer.for example the u 13 + u15 should be played in different months to u14 and u16

ShamoBuc · 24-06-2011 10:42pm

That could be a problem alright. Maybe because it is a newish system, it can be tweaked in some way for the future.

ShamoBuc · 25-06-2011 1:50pm

Draw after 15, goals a plenty!!

ShamoBuc · 25-06-2011 1:54pm

It's not going to finish 15 V 15 now !!!

Indie. · 25-06-2011 2:09pm

2-7 to 1-7 now to Cork.Offaly all over the place according to the radio.Shooting a lot of wides

Indie. · 25-06-2011 2:11pm

Half time 2-7 to 1-7.Offaly having shot 12 wides

ShamoBuc · 25-06-2011 2:17pm

Very happy with the HT score line - all things considered!

Indie. · 25-06-2011 3:04pm

Goal for Offaly!!..Point in it into injury time

Indie. · 25-06-2011 3:05pm

Cork win by a point

a big........ PHEW

very good result given so long with 14 men.
Offaly will no doubt be disgusted given their amount of bad wides!

Browney7 · 25-06-2011 3:37pm

Should there have been more than the one minute added? Cork will be delighted to escape with a win. Good result considering the Pa Cronin sending off. Championship so far has been very even apart from the Laois hammering last weekend.

Rebel1977 · 25-06-2011 3:41pm

what did Cronin do ?

apparently he swung back with the hurley - instant red.

dartbhoy · 25-06-2011 3:53pm

Cork very lucky but a win is a win as they say! Major improvement needed before July 9th in their next game.

I would like to think they will be better plus alot of the game was with 14 men.
I would prefer to get Galway or Wexford than Limerick or Clare for that game.

Me too. Was quite impressed with both Limerick and Clare. The more games they play the better they will get.

I think we have a few worries on our hands. Cronin will be a loss, with kenny not firing a full throttle at the moment, the likely replacement.

Cadogan was shakey at times, and not as commanding as he has been in the past. Teams will almost certainly look to try an exploit this.

On the plus side, hoggy was class again today.... a scoring machine!

ShamoBuc · 27-06-2011 8:46pm

Seriously looking forward to Sunday. Going down to Killarney is second only to Thurles on Munster final day. It's a great location and there is always savage banter between the fans. As always, Cork will bring a large following to the Kingdom and this year, as with recent years, they'll travel in a confident mood.
I am expecting a tight enough game but for once I reckon Cork will bang in a few goals against Kerry and pull away to win by 5 or 6 - a bold prediction given our history in Killarney, but this time we travel across the county bounds as All Ireland Champions!!!!

Kilarney is a better occasion than Thurles IMO

I'd favour Thurles. There is a savage atmosphere in the town centre and as you walk up to and back from the match. Killarney has a great atmosphere with a wonderful backdrop but there is something special about Thurles. Either way, it's very easy to look forward to a trip across the border!!

ShamoBuc · 30-06-2011 8:28pm

The team to go into battle on Sunday has been named......

1. Alan Quirke

2. Jamie O'Sullivan 3. Graham Canty 4. Michael Shields

5. Noel O'Leary 6. John Miskella 7. Paudie Kissane

8. Alan O'Connor 9. Aidan Walsh

10. Ciarán Sheehan 11. Patrick Kelly 12. Pearse O'Neil

13. Daniel Goulding 14. Donncha O'Connor 15. Paul Kerrigan

Very solid looking team I think, well capable of securing a victory over the auld enemy.
Delighted Canty is back to lead the team. I think that forward line will score a few goals. The defence has always been fairly reliable. Roll on Sunday !!

Rebel1977 · 01-07-2011 12:19am

Agree. Plus you have the likes of Cadogan, Carey, Nicky, Gould etc on the bench if needs be.

ontheditch2 · 01-07-2011 1:30am

Have to say, i prefer Killarney way more than Thurles.

I am mid 20s, Hurling background, but i feel the Cork Footballers have a more cultured clientele supporting them. In Thurles you are likely to see young lads flaming drunk making a show of themselves on the square. You never have that type of carry on in Killarney. Lads with no tops on, pissing in the streets and leaving a general mess behind, is common in Thurles. In the terrace, i am after seeing at least 3 fights between groups of cork fans. I never seen anything like that in Killarney.

Maybe Thurles just became too common during the Glory years of the mid 00's and i seen more of this carry on.

Very true, our bench is ridiculously strong. My only gripe is the 2pm start, much prefer the extra drinking/socialising the 4pm gives you:D
