If the reason Gavin didn't brandish red cards was because of the spectacle, then that's simply crap refereeing.

The refs job is to implement the rules and punish players as the offence should be punished.

I think had he sent both off it would have benefitted Clare slightly more than Cork, O Neill a biggger loss to his side than Honan to his and 5 on 5 at one end

Honan is very overrated. He reminds me of Cussen. One trick pony.

He may be overated but hes not as bad as cussen.Honan caused us endless problems in the league and june,Cussen has never ever given us even on game in the championship or league that he justifed hes selection.

One of the worst forwards to ever wear the red jersey in hurling.He wont be their next year,rest assured.

That I agree with and he seems to be lacking confidence on top of being over rated. Hes not a man for a high ball as his size would suggest and he isint running at his man when he has possesion or working hard enough off the ball to try and get it. I think Cathal Mac offers a way bigger threat and work rate than him at the moment. Saying all that though I still think Davy will start Honan, Hopefully he has the sense to take him off sooner the next day if hes not performing again. Shane O Neill was well on top in that match up the last day.

About 3 years ago down in Fraher Field he got 2 goals v Waterford, and has done nothing since. Bad and all as he is, Cussen still has more hurling in him than Aisake. Never saw a Cork hurler with less skill in my life.

No way would Cussen be better than Aiseake.Using a league game,is the same as saying he was excellent against Tipp in a mikey mouse challenge game,he got two goals inMay,in Cloughduv.

Hurling is not the main problem with Cussen.It is he lacks balls,guts,will to chase a dirty ball,and the desire and WANT TO get the ball.

Cussen has hurling to a degree,but he lazy,when he goes up for an aerial ball,its one hand on the hurley,he doesnt put the application in.

It is like i am 6'7, i do not need to do what others do.


Your way of the mark with Aiseake.He had balls,courage,and like all the Halpins a great work ethic,and a natural athletic physique,but also had the mental aggression he needed.

Aiseake got a super goal against waterford in 2010,at pace,blew the defender out of it,and got a great goal.He also got two great goals against offaly in championship,in tullamore,when no other cork forward stood out.He could have had three.

Against maher of Tipp,he destroyed him in league and championship.Got a goal and point,made two goals .


The problem was in the replay against waterford he had bout four on him ,and he still won ball,but Walsh hadnt a clue how to use him.


With so many on him,loads cork lads were free,and cork should have played him as a decoy,like jbm now,short passes to other players.And when he did get space ,and not like the munster final replay with a zone of waterford defenders on him, play him the ball.


I agree he lacked the hurling finese of a cummins etc,but he was as good in the air as Mccormack was,i would say even better.He could win the word of ball in the air.He was easily hooked,and blocked,and hes hurling lacked sharpness.But you must take where he came from.

He didnt need to be a scoring forward.He could win and lay the ball off for the forwards.Against Antrim,he got zero ball,for 30 minutes,the one he did get,he won it superbly in the air,and laid off a sublime hand pass for niall macs goal.


Against kilkenny,at the throw in,kilkenny and hickey tore in to him.The ref had to step in.Why did KK target him?they saw him as a danger.He could win and lay of ball.


Aiseake never took a step back physically that day.Walsh decided we play low wing ball to him instead,where touch wasnt he strongest point,and understandably as he hadnt held a hurley in five years.


Then walsh took him of,brought on cussen.Did kilkenny target him,no not at all.They knew he was no danger.Cussen did not want to know.Walking around in the sun as if it was great to be here,no drive at all.


What you forget is Cussen has always played hurling,never took a break

Aiseake did.You probably dont understand hurling the way i do,but that is a long time,away from the game,in fairness.

He was outstanding and man of the match in a county final for na piarsaigh,even took frees.Nothing wrong with hes skill in 2004,but he lost years hurling after that.


If JBM had him,he would have improved him no bounds.He wouldnt be a ray Cummins or kevin Hennessey,but he would have no doubt,be better than cussen,ideal for this cork team,as he would win ball,and hes primary role would be a ball winner in the full forward line.He would be a sub option at the very least.

In around 9 or ten championship games he has four goals.Not bad when you consider where he came from.

Never judge a book by its cover.You should read it as a whole before you rate it.

You would do good to keep the same in mind with Aiseake.

Mouth of the South

Christ, man, I only corrected you on you saying "Cussen has never ever given us even one game in the championship or league that he justifed hes selection" and I pointed out to you that he did indeed justify his selection in a league game where we got a draw and he was probably man of the match on the day. I then said I never saw a Cork hurler with less skill than Aisake, and I stand by that, he was a complete and utter donkey . That is not to say he wasn't a donkey that had his uses. Cussen has more in him but doesn't apply himself and get stuck in like Aisake did, but he still has more hurling in him. But you give all that and tell me "You probably dont understand hurling the way i do". Relax, man! We're all entitled to our opinion.

One league game,and he justifed selection ,is rubbish.You must see progress.

I just simply gave my opinion.I didnt and would not of course tell you not to give an opinion,as you do like to have the last word,so i wouldnt begrude you that,with respect.

I simply proved aiskeake had more hurling.Aiskeake lost a lot with the break from the game,you failed to acknowledge.


To say Cussen had more hurling ,shows how you much you know alright.If im not mistaken ,aiseake gave both killan cronin and the Rock a tough game then.
Two excellent backs.

Cussen only ever gets goals of poor quailty defenders.




You tell me to relax,when every single post you do,is to wind people up in fairness.

Unlike you,my only interest is Gaa,no agendas.

Buddy, now I'm no fan of Cussen but you said Cussen never justified selection even in one league game. I did indeed prove to you that he indeed did justify his selection in a league match. You hate being wrong on anything , but you clearly were. And it doesn't matter how long Aisake was out of the game, every bad hurler has an excuse. He was a donkey, always would be, and it was a good day for Cork hurling when he went away to Australia in a sulk. I won't be bothered responding to any of your posts again ( I know you'll thank me) because you don't like being pointed out to be wrong and think of yourself as some kind of encylcopedia, but you were wrong on your statement about Cussen. Just accept it and move on.

ShamoBuc

If I had to chose between the two, Aisake for me.

That said, it will be advantageous for Cork hurling to never see either of them in a Cork jersey again.

sasol

Aisake was a far better hurler than Cussen could ever dream of been.

Whoever would choose Cussen over Aisake knows very little about the game

Amprodude

Both hurlers were shocking in red jerseys. I wouldnt have either on a Cork junior team.

An excuse is usally a fallibe scapegoat for some players..Aiskeake being man of the match in 2004 county final,then not holding a hurley for five years is more of a fact.

First of all,i wouldnt say your my buddy.Have we met and played golf,watched games together,no we have not.

Unfortunatley for you we have not watched games together,as i could tell you what you need to know,rather that what you claim to know about gaa.

Getting two goals in a league game,doesnt justify ,selection,if they were poorly conceded and more a weakness on a defender than actual strength and prowess of an attacker.So no i was not wrong about Cussen.

Thats like saying Denis Crowley hat tricks of goals against Nemo last year merited a call up to cork.


You fail,to read anything on face value,all you can do is snipe ,and insult posters from other counties.

Anyone could tell you ,if im wrong i admit it.You yesterday said Jbm was a yes man,a frank and board man.When i gave you evidence to back it up,you were very quiet.

I know more about cork ,than you do,juding by posts alone.

You didnt even mention Aiskeakes break,til i had to tell you.You simply didnt even know i would say about it.

You don't ever gave us your thoughts on tactics,or what goes on in cork gaa or who should start before a game etc.Why is that? With the greatest respect ,Can You read a game ,or do you have to rely on hindsight all the time.

You more interested in sniping at KK, and other counties.Fasinating in that you unlike geuine people,only came on after cork had beaten kk.Win or loose ,i will always support cork.


I am not bothered whether you respond or not ,that is your choice.

For a man,never short of words,i take it as a compliment,as everything you posted about cork ,that i questioned,you simply couldnt respond to,and i must be the first you choose to ignore.

You have some opinion of yourself, buddy, and ,no, I doubt we have met as I think golf is a boring game for boring people and I'm glad I have probably never sat next to you at a match. I never claimed anything about myself ( in stark contrast to your good self) . You made an assumption about my thoughts on JBM telling me I said " Jbm was a yes man,a frank and board man" . I never said that JBM was a Frank man , only that he acquiesced to him, and the reason I went no further on it is that it would obviously descent into more Frank/strikes crap, which I am 'frankly' sick of hearing. You keep banging on about Cussen as if I am a fan of him, but I think he is almost as **** as Aisake. You are not too quick on the uptake, but - for the third time - you said he never justified selection for even one league game when it was pointed out you that he did. It doesn't matter who was marking him that one day, he still justified it that one day and it drives you demented to be wrong on even the most minor of facts. You made a second assumption on Aisake's break because I didn't use it as a reason for him being so ****. He's just **** and excuses don't cut the mustard. You then make more assumptions about what a "genuine" fan is. You weren't even at that league game in Fraher Field , no knowledge of it even, as you had no recollection of it. I don't have to prove my 'credentials' to you or anybody else, but it seems you feel you have to keep telling us what a great and 'genuine'(whatever that is) GAA man you are and what a great Corkman you are. What does that say about you?

I see where your coming from and your point.
But Aiseake at the very least had fight,heart and worked hard.

He literally lived in the ball alley with sean og and cusack etc, trying to recover hes touch.

He is not a pa cronin or seamus harnedy,but he had something to offer.When cork cried out for someone to win ball the last day ,he would have been a good option on the bench.He is so big.strong and awkward you will struggle on him one on one.And if you double mark him,creates space for others.


Fergal mccormack was no scoring threat for cork ,but he was nusiannce and used as a decoy at times.

Hes hurling finese was poor .What made him was hes strength,a great paw, and attuitde.

Against tipp in 2000,he was running straight threw on goal.What happened was he was hooked as he went to shoot.
Like aiskeake he had a weakness.In tight spaces,he lacked the sharpens.The way around that is run straight and hand pass.

However ,to catch a ball and keep the cb occupied was hes sole use.Cork had enough scoring forwards,they needed something new.

Against kk in 99,cork were level,needed a score.Of all the tappy fast hurlers like,Ben,Mcgrath,etc none of them was a target man.

Cusack aimed for Mccormack,and he won the ball.He then realised he was better to not go for the point himself,but held the ball and powered through kk.He was fouled.Ben got the free.

Aiskeake with Jbm would have a similar role as a sub,win ball,use hes strength and physique.The man was strong as an ox,pure muscle.I talked to him in castleyons against galway after a challenge match in 2010 at the openining of the new ptich two weeks before the Tipp game,about how much physical hits he got in that game.

He relished it.He was fearless and he got some punishment in games.

I didnt mention the game ,as i didnt c the need to ,as like i said it doesnt justify hes game.I was at it,actually,a nice spring day.2 soft goals,hardly anything to get excited about.

The same day Nash had to be taken off,as he was concussed and naugthon done what he usually does 3 lovely points in an open game hurling.

Like i said,but again u ignored what u wanted to ,he was up against a weak defender and there were soft goals.

He was up against o brien,just to make it clear his time for you, he has not been heard of in waterford since.A weak defender.

Cussen didnt make the goals,was put clean through in fairness and was easier miss.So that doesnt justify him playing for cork,when he done nothing for the rest of the game,but was cleaned out for most dirty balls.

He got one good point ,i give him credit.considering hes overall display was poor,wouldnt say it justfied anything.

I have higher standards than what you judge creditibilty on.

You fail to acknowlege Aiskeae five year break from the game.Its clear you have never seen aiseake in games,bar what you c on the tv.

If you were at the county final in 2004 you would c my point.

Im not blowing my trumphet at all,just clear as day showing everything you posted was not correct.

You refute and back track ,about jbm,when you say you dont want to go over old ground with strikes,yet u repeatedly when it suits you bring up the past in relation to kk,.


You called Jbm a yes man ,clearly shows you dont have knowledge about the cork set up,when anyone will tell you he is not a yes man.

I never asked you prove your creditionals.I simply questioned your post ,and you did not like that.Its quite clear from your posts,what your knowledge is.

You are great to wind people up,but then get excited when it clearly proved you are wrong,and your questioned on it.

As i said it would be interesting to hear you talk about core issues in cork,like the team for the next day,your views on the football,etc tactics ,from what you normally talk about.

It must be the lowest a dog can go to accuse a Cork GAA fan of denigrating JBM, the ultimate hero to every Cork GAA fan. And like a dog with a bone, you have persisted with this dirty tactic . You also persist with this idea that I am somehow a fan of Cussen, when I have made it more than clear to any half-intelligent person how little I think of him. But you made a statement that he never justified his selection in, your own words, even a league game. I pointed out an occasion when he was. The irony will be completely lost on you, but it was not me - but you who got "excited when it clearly proved you are wrong" and gave your long winded, meandering lectures to deflect from the fact you were wrong.

I have my own opinions on how Cork should set up, how they should they approach the game, the siituation in Cork football ,but it's clear you see yourself as knowing more than anyone else and you are quick to give your boring lectures to try to prove this. I've discussed these things with other Cork posters on here who are not as self-important and belligerent as yourself. Your posts are usually the tiresome page-length lectures consisting mostly of banging on about what such and such Cork teams/managers/players did in the past that we all know about anyway and little thought about what should be done in the future. It's the kind of crap I could read in the Echo so usually skip over them ( save for this time I pointed out your mistake about Cussen and you got ratty about it) . as there is never anything that isn't just history.

Anyway, I enjoy having the banter with other people from other counties. There's give and take in the cut and thrust but you wouldn't be able for it. You're completely humourless and take yourself too seriously, but keep telling yourself that you're important, buddy.

You quite clearly made a swipe that Jbm was a yes man,and looked up to Frank.I agree ,that was an insult to JBM.

I would say not two many people on any thread ,call your posts banter.

My posts may be long,but there on gaa issues based on fact,no constant sniping winding up other counties.I have clearly said before each game my thoughts on every game,minor,u21,junior senior in every code,and unlike you will call it before the game plays .

I expected that responesyou cant enagage in real game,tactics ,issues etc.

You simply post for a reaction.Any time you want to talk about gaa,and engage in meaningful debate, let me know.

I have unlike you not sat on the fence,been and continue to go many games at all levels,and said what needs to be done in relation to cork.

I dont get ratty or resort to personal abuse.

You're still at it. I made a one-line, couple of words aside that even JBM and Counihan have to play ball with Frank. That was a comment on Frank and his power strangle more than the men themselves but you still persist with this dirt tactic like a US Republican Party ad strategist. I have no interest in conversing with you as you try to make it clear, like a pub bore, that you know more than anybody else . After the cursory bits of touchy-feely bits of 'agreement' , you constantly try to prove to people who do engage with you that they are wrong and you are right. I'll call the replay and say that I think Clare will win, there' sitting on the fence for you. You keep going on about how many games you go to. I've never felt the need to boast about how many games I go to to prove my 'bone fides' like you unfailingly do, but you keep harping on about it and make even more accusations that I don't go to any as if spouting it on the internet about someone you don't know and have no idea about makes it true. Get over yourself, buddy

No you don't. You constantly abuse when any one says something that you don't like

You are unable to engage in reasonable debate without firing insults and getting personal.

Thinkstoomuch has shown up again , your complete lack of hurling knowledge, and you have resorted to the only defense you know - insults and abuse.

Ciaran Sheehan had a whale of a game for the B's v A's. None of the first choice halfbackline could handle him physically.

Read that sentence again Sasol and please tell me you can see the hypocrisy and irony that is dripping from it.

As for the two lads fighting over Cussen and Aisake, good lord its like two bald men fighting over a comb! Cussen is afraid of he's own shadow and Aisake has/had the co-ordiantion of a new born calf. Michael Webster was the exact same for Tipp, a guy with that amount of height advantage will always have a day where they shine ( remember Web destroying Lohan one day) but for the vast majority of time they are just plain useless and all three mentioned there were/are.

Pa callaghan is meant like alan cadogan done a stint with them two recently.Two players for the future,but its more their drafted in to make up the numbers in training than have a chance of the match day squad,you would think.

Sheehan would certainly add to a weak panel.A lot of lads would know him,but id be suprised if jbm brought him in now.

Niall mccarthy would have been an option considering he has hurled most of the summer,with the exception of an injury.A great option with 20 min to go.

It will be interesting to c how it pans out.

Don't know why it's not on the Examiners website.

Article says she picked up a hamstring injury and hasn't trained since. Eamon Ryan not happy, calls it "a bit ludicrous".

Games have to played at some stage, and playing it after the semi final gave the maximum time to the panel to prepare for the final - county board uunfortunately have dates that they have have the games played for, and teams are messing around with dates doesn't help!

Can never get the examiner over here, but can get the Irish Times - if someone could take a picture of the article and PM me, that would be great!
