    in truth we were miles off.Should have conceded at least three goals.

    Did we ever have control of this game.Never.

    True but games are not won on missed chances. We had chances too but not as many as Dublin.

    We dont need a defensive mined one.Their is top class managers in cork,and if they want to have a totally defensive manager,Ned English who is line for the limerick job.

    Before people start rejoicing at the news of Conor stepping down, it should be remembered that he took over the team in 2008 after 2 games in the league where we didnt field a team. We ended up in a semi final that year v Kerry. A haul of 1 All Ireland , 3 div 1NFL, 1 Div 2 NFL and 3 Munsters is pretty impressive. Despite this, the man has taken some severe sh!te from Cork supporters. He has made mistakes on the sideline but after all hes done as a player and manager I hope he takes no notice of that rubbish. Thanks to Conor for all his efforts

    Forget the league titles to be fair.There nothing in regards an allireland.

    Munster titles,all at home,when kerry had no great interest in them,is nothing to get carried away with.

    Couinhan unlike JBM,had loads of talent to work with,and six guys that played in allireland final in 2007.

    I for one ,have crticised him,and never personally,and as a fan that pays good money to watch Cork,were quite correct to criticse hes repeated mistakes.And like many fans,stand by them,and unforunately were proven right by tonights game.

    Nobody doubted hes commitment.But he just was not up to it.

    We dont need three guys to manage cork.Just one will do.
    But i will give you threeJohn Cleary ,unlike Counihan,has a proven underage record and at castlehaven.

    I mentioned Ned English already.These guys have club records couhinan never had.

    Billy morgan,still doing super work with UCC.

    Brian Cuthbert very much in tune with the modern game.

    I never said we did.

    Morgan is not going to come back. The other 2 are unproven at this level.

    Whoever gets it needs to really bring something positive with them. This team needs it.

    We were never in control of any aspect of the field.Dublin had destroyed us all over the fieid,and if they had not started with Diarmuid connolly ,who i said was poor,would have beaten us by more.

    Dublin beat us with creativity.pace and a well refined game plan ,with the best players in their best positions,something Cork have most games lacked under counihan.

    Yeah ,won an U21 medal in 94,but the face wont fit with the CCB.

    He was overlooked in favour of larry tompkins.

    Ned English wasnt even considered for the minor job,yet he won a limited Drom broadford a munster club title and done well with a limited Duhallow team.

    I agree ,but morgan would take it in a heartbeat.

    Yes their unproven,but a better record than what counihan had.

    And they cant be as bad as couinhan was the last few years.

    .

    Miltown in Kerry won the intermediate club championship under Daly. He certainly knows his stuff but the CCB are a bunch of w**kers.

    Truer words were never spoken! Connolly should pay for his self indulgence, and lets call a spade a spade it wasn't a poor performance it was sheer self indulgence. Slowing up the play, pot shots at the target etc. Don't think there's anything refined with Dublins gameplan though. I thought we were ragged when structure would have really exposed Cork. Just have exceptional individuals who work very hard.

    I was a bit harsh on the Cork lads pre game but for the most part i thought they put in a good shift. The sight of Alan O' Connor chasing Jack McCaffrey was hilarious though. How Counihan didn't recognise himself and Canty didn't have the legs i'll never know.

    1-0 to the Dubs!

    No no no.Even when you got for any job now,to even be considered you must meet the minium criteria,to even get an interview,like a pass in the leaving cert etc,or job expierence etc.

    The same has to happen with the CCB.

    Corkery has no expierence our record whatsoever.A great great player,but thats the problem in Cork great players,get the jobs,based on their reputations,when it must be CV based.

    I think Morgan was underrated alright. Got to 4 AI in a row (Kerry ref costing us 3 from 4).

    Just got to AI final too soon in 2007.

    I still think cork football won't win much.....they seem to fall under the great underachievers category with limk hurlers and mayo footballers.

    I agree, we are bottlers. We have one of the worst records in All Ireland Finals. We dont have the tradition of winning like Kerry.

    Dublins pace will be a problem for Kerry. But Kerrys quality and shooting in front of the posts will be a problem for Dublin.

    You build your own tradition.
    You can not change the past,what is gone is gone,and lost forever,but we can rewrite like tyrone our own history.

    The future such is life,every breath we take,every move we make,is in our hands.As brian cocorcan said you choose your own attuitde in life.

    We dont need to move mountains.We have the talent.

    But to do that you can not pick a manager that has no record and take a chance.


    You must make the right choice.

    It is not about the chances you take,but rather the choices you make,thats defines your destiny.
    Corks football destiny relies on Cork making the right choice of manager.

    Theres been 4 guys mentioned here that can do a job.Lynch is in dublin and a family buisness,he has no interest in it.

    Teddy macarthy,has a woeful record,hes in newcastle west at the moment.Hopefully he will stay their.I woudnt be shocked if he was involved in cork management.

    And again,great players dont always make top managers.Its a simple process,not complicated.You pick a guy with a record.
