Im nt a clyda man,as if you read my posts would know that.
Yes North cork.That doesnt mean thats the main reason i want them to win.
I want the haven to win the senior.
I wanted the barrs to avoid relegation.
I wouldnt mind really who wins cork senior title,as long as it aint sars,as i dnt think they have anything new to offer cork.
My point is i have a lot of strong beliefs,and i aint from these places.
I try to look at it with face value than any particular rose tinted glasses.
Fair play u want macroom to win,thats your want,but a lot of neutrals want clyda,also clyda are unbeaten,macroom lost the ist day.
losing the first day doesnt come into it really. Newmarket showed a couple years ago that a couple of early defeats wouldnt put them off winning the championship.thinkstoomuch1 wrote: »Fintan gould will probably play midfield to stop kissane driving up,and allows kiely for them to bomb up.
I dont need a journalist to tell me it will be low scoring.I and many others have said here,it will be low scoring.
Your naive to think that the way a club team plays will turn people of them.
Clyda ,wait for it,if they win,those same journalist will say this is the most romantic strory of the year (like the prince and kates wedding).The same journalists that tweeted,aidan and ciaran were training with the hurlers probably.
Journalists,not all to be fair run with the hare and chase with the hound,when it suits just to sell a paper.
Thats the rubbish some will say.They will over glorify it if they win,just like their overly negative on their style of play today.
They fail to see the common ground,where a club like clyda has to come from,the everday finaicial struggles and population battles they face .
They should like other clubs,the newtowns,ballymartyles,the havens etc be commended for what they have achieved.
commended for what they achieve in comparison to what exactly? surely whatever success they achieve is sufficient acclaim for any club
Clyda's style will have turned numerous people off them thinking otherwise is rose tinted at best. of course any journalist will leverage Clyda's failures should they win on Sunday that would be part of their job. However from a footballing standpoint those with an interest will be keen to see the team that does not employ such negative tactics win as after all, any follower of gaelic football who is neutral in a contest, cant say that they enjoy watching such a style of play.
you seem to think Clyda are the only club place that have financial issues or population struggles. I would suggest that even within the intermediate ranks clubs like Ballingeary, Naomh Aban, Glenville, Castletownbere etc will feel similarly aggrieved. its the world and ireland that we live in but its the same for everyone.
im certain that macroom will feel aggrieved that they have been down for the past 20 years and will be keen to regain senior status for what was once a proud footballing town. as with everything these things go in cycles so your successes are to be enjoyed from than bitterly embraced. take the example of a club like Millstreet that once were to the forefront of the senior grade but are now plying their trade in the junior ranks do they not have the right to feel similarly aggrieved to Clyda?
i hope it is the best footballing teams that win on sunday and in the case of the senior final that is a difficult one to call. Nemo have had enormous success in recent years so i've a sligth preference for the Haven in that one. However we are all aware that the Haven are no angels and should something similar occur as a neutral my bias will swing towards Nemo. But i know now that Clyda will play the game as it should be played in an effort to be successful so if that works for them then fair play but i wont be cheering or happy for them if that does happen0 -

firstly you need to learn to read. i've never knocked any of the clubs youve ranted on about there. Im sure unsure what sort of commendation you want for them though. they have had success, they have had influential cork players what more commendation do they need?
you seem to believe that by being a club with a large population base that they have no difficulties or obstacles to overcome. You should be aware that these clubs have an awful lot of competing sports as well as other attractions that will take some of there playing base away and in having a large underage base creates its own problems.
i dont know whether Macroom were good, bad or indifferent the first day. It matters not a jot as they are there on Sunday. dont know what you mean by whiter than white maybe you could inform all of usthinkstoomuch1 wrote: »Valid point bt milstreet,they had four n the 73 team,well one n the extended panel.

you seem to think that its neglect from these large towns that caused them to experience a downturn but life is not that black and white. every club will experience a poor run, was Clyda's time in the junior ranks in the 70's/80's down to neglect also?0 -

losing the first day doesnt come into it really. Newmarket showed a couple years ago that a couple of early defeats wouldnt put them off winning the championship.
commended for what they achieve in comparison to what exactly? surely whatever success they achieve is sufficient acclaim for any club.
Yeah i can read,you should do more of it, maybe you get more information on newtown,ballymartle,and castlehaven .
Your response to my mention of newtown,ballymartyle and castlehaven ,who you claim to be no angels.
I don'think they need wings to fly high ,lets be honest 3 county finals in three years, beaten only by a fine ucc team made up of kerry lads,they dont need to be angels.
Newtown achieveved the highest honour in the game,ballyMartle won an all ireland.
To say that any success they got is sufficent acclaim for any club and comparison to what,is like you mean no big deal,sure anyone can do it.
Compare them to blackrock,barrs ,the glen ,or othe largely populated,better rescourced clubs around the county and country that have struggled to achieve what these have.
You obivously dont have a clue what it means to them and the work they done.
My point about macroom nt being whiter than white is you make them out to be the barecelona and clyda the wimbeldon of soccer.
Rubbish.Macroom played awful in their ist game.and against valley had to go to two games,and ist game they were dire enough i hear.
My point is clyda arent as awful as you portray them,and many neutrals want them to win.0 -

Castlehaven have been guilty of incidents in the past that left a sour taste for anyone with a passing interest in football. They have also go beyond the boundraies when it comes to sourcing players.
What im saying to you is that the clubs you mentioned worked hard and got their success. I dont think that they need to be commended further nor do i think that they care a jot for such.
Im sure Macroom played poorly on a number of occasions this year as would be the case with any team. They dont however play a defensive style setup as they play the game with the approach of scoring more and being better than the opposition.
As regards hard work, you seem to believe that hard work only occurs in the rural clubs. Macroom went to 2 county U21 A finals and were defeated. I think its would be fair to assume that they would work hard at the underage, as hard as anyone else. Like any other town they suffer from conflicts with players opting to play soccer or some other activity and the town environment allows for greater deviance from the gaa scene as is the case with the city based clubs, carrigaline, ballincollig etc.
if you watched clyda against Bantry in Kilmichael or saw them play Nemo in the semi final then their style of play would not draw any fans to them. That is a fairly obvious point and its one you conceded earlier when you said they play a style to suit themselves and their playing personnel.
As a neutral it is this playing style that i dislike and would love to see eradicated from the gaa and its why i would like to see Macroom come out on top on sunday0 -

Woudnt think so with the haven.Okay got larry ,and a few,but sure Sars are the hurling equivalent,and media and county board love them.They got the wexford lads.
Yeah their was an incident with cleary of the ball ,last year ,but sars with teddy mac,should bn banned sideline incursion against think glen years ago.Nothing about that.
Haven are a credit to cork football.Those that crib,are jealous.
Didnt nemo get lambert for years,and the town get crowley.
Mallow got loughrey.
Happens everyhere kid,dnt think its the Haven set the rule,they just follow suit.
Even ag muire for instance have a schools lad just 13 from mallow,travellng up and down every day with them ,to play.
Colmans got mccormack from the patrician academy ,after fourth year.
Ard scoil are doing it in the hurling.
Teams,clubs all over are crossing boundaries for players.
Sure ballinscarthy with denis sullivan are still up in arms over he wanting to join clon.
Newtown had shaun o rioardin from limerick and glesson from ballinainch.
Mallow had clare man Michael o halloran their.
Its incorrect to label haven doing as wrong in what many others have done.0 -
MEDAL THE SWEETEST FOR BRIEGE
COUNTY MEDAL THE SWEETEST FOR BRIEGE
DUAL star Briege Corkery may have 12 All-Ireland medals, but Sunday’s historic first senior county final win against Inch Rovers was perhaps the sweetest victory of all.
A week after putting in a sensational shift at wing-back in Cork’s one-point All-Ireland win against Monaghan, it was apt that that Corkery slung over the winning point (0-11 to 1-7) two minutes into injury time to ensure St Val’s won the John Hurley Cup for the first time in the championship’s 37-year history, and the club’s 18th year in existence.
“The win last weekend was mighty but there’s nothing better than winning with your club.
“Without a doubt this is the best thing I’ve won,” said the eight-time All-Ireland ladies football and four-time camogie winner.
“It means the world to everyone in the club, it really does.
“Not just the team, but everyone whose involved, from the committee to the trainers.
“There’s great youth coming up behind us and there’s a belief now that I think we didn’t have before.
“I mean you can’t forget that this win has also come from players who have served us well for so many years, the likes of Catriona Barrett who wasn’t on the sideline but she was supporting us in the stand and we’re just delighted for her and the likes of Triona Lucey, Niamh Canty, Áine Murphy and Fiona Crowley who have been waiting a long, long time for this.”
Having lost back-to-back finals to former champions Donoughmore and Inch Rovers in 2006 and 2007 respectively, as well as numerous semi-finals, St Val’s are now certainly deserving of their time in the spotlight.
“I suppose in past finals they were the better teams at the time but I think Conor Condon and Jo Carroll have united us.
“I’ve always wanted to win a senior county medal with Val’s and we’ve been pushing on the door for so long now that I’m just delighted for all the girls.
“Other years we were disappointed with how we got on in championship but we went on to win the senior B so we knew we weren’t that bad and we knew we could improve and that’s exactly what we did.”
And as to kicking the winning point, she’s answers with her typical admirable modesty.
“Ah, you know now that doesn’t happen very often!” she laughs.
“I suppose I didn’t do much for the rest of the day but it was probably just poxy luck that it went over; it isn’t what I’d normally do but we’ll take it!”
Former two time Munster Senior B champions St Val’s will now line out in their first ever Senior A provincial final against the Senior Plate Munster winners — either Ballymacarbery (Waterford) or The Banner (Tipperary) — on Saturday, October 19.0 -

Colmans loss,blackwaters gain.0 -
Was at Castlehavens final training tonight. They have a fully fit squad to choose from. Nemo are waiting on the fitness of one or two but all expected to be fit.
Looking through the thread over the last day or two, I'd be hoping for a macroom win in the intermediate. I Clyda have had savage bad luck in the last 3 years, but I saw a game they had against bantry and thought it was dire stuff. (The same could be said of Castlehaven football style last year I suppose)0 -

I never said i wanted us in an inferior league.I said many time,it will halt our progres.But we didnt stay up field play.End off.
Course i wanted cork to stay up ,but n the field play.Make no mistake bt it,if this was nt cork,even clare as champions ,it wdnt be changed.It wdnt even be enteratained.
If it was to be changed ,then next year,you cant have a relegation play off in april ,then change rules,cause lets be honest this has nothing to do with cork playing top teams,or to benfit limerick , it is that cork will loose money.
We cant have one rule us,another for 31 other counties.
Its the timing and the reasons behind the change is wrong.0 -

Because we didn't deserve to stay up.
JBM said after the replay that we'd take our loss like men and now we should accept relegation and set about making our way back to division 1.
The bare faced cheek of the county board in engineering this is amazing.
If they dedicated as much time to looking after the games as they do to pulling strokes we'd win an AI every 3/4 years.
Under their watch Cork has become a sleeping giant and it'll take 10 yrs of grass roots work to get us back on top.0 -
Youghal should beat Catlelyons tonight lads0

Nice performance from Midleton today. Lehane showed some real class at time. Onwards!0

Kanturk by a point.Delighted0

They barely won
Hard luck to Castelyons and we did get lucky but i couldn't care less.Tonight was all about getting the win and we did that so the begrudgers know where they can go.:D Eochaill Abu!
Hard luck again to Castlelyons but we were there ourselves two years ago when we lost to Courcey Rovers but i have no doubt that Castlelyons will put tonight's disappointment right sooner rather than later.Cork 1990 All Ireland Senior Hurling and Football Champions

Delighted kanturk won,but you would feel for Fermoy,terrfic display ,and you were right,it was tight.A fine crowd,in a great day hurling.Their can only be one winner.Kanturk by a point.Delighted
Nash sum free to win it in the end.Unreal.Nash is such a star,hurling ,he is becoming the main attention at these games.
I thought Lorchan was very good,and walsh 3 nice scores aprox,faded at times but defo could add to cork.Cant wait for the final,five intercounty players ,all star players in each codes for Cork.
Good day for North cork.In Blarney Newtown won the County.
Their u 16 team won a terrfic game of hurling.Would have liked to be their, underage games are good ,just pure hurling.
Newtown beat an excellent Aghada 2-15 to 2-14.
Talking to a lad at it,it was meant to be top quality on both teams,even on a poor ptich in blarney.
Donnacha Sheehan captain,Tim O Mahony and Darragh Guiney among others were meant to be excellent.
That is two countys in a few weeks for Newtown.
Midelton in fairness stood up to the task today.Lehane to get 1-13 out of their 2-18 sum scoring.Nagle was meant to be outstanding.Surely a recall to the Cork panel,if the form keeps up,espiceally if kenny and murphy go next year.
Na piarsaigh be a good game.Gardiner is still struggling with injury,gould hamstring trouble,for the last while.
They need those to be fully fit.Gould would be a huge loss,considering at least two of their forwards are converted backs,Buckley and O Rourke.
I look forward to looking at Ian Mcdonnell again.He is very wristy,fast hands,the worry is like cian mac,not great mobility.Caught some great ball the last day.
Apparently he is working very hard on the fitness.Time will tell.
Sars had a good win.They will miss O 'Sullivan if they get to the final,more so if they have to mark lehane.
Youghal fair play to them ,and the work they done,a lot of that started under Peter -Quelly.Delighted for Cooper, and Desmond who both deserved a bit of luck,but its hard to nt feel for Timmy Mac in particular.
Cant wait for Tuesday night and Fermoy and mallow.
Would not have thought they would be in the final but having seen the intermediate team today,a well coached team with denis ring.
He is with the u21 team.
Weather is great for october ,i hope it is dry in kildorrerry.
The motion for change of the league is just becoming more a joke,every day.
They refused to meet wexford offaly andtfriday,as they knew they were furious.
Now in a bid to shut up the outrage,they decide they will all take part in two groups,all the fuss,just to suit cork.
Its a definite ,cork will be in the top level next year.Wexford and offaly be happy now.The danger is they will change it again two years to the old way.
What a comic this story is becoming.
Making a mountain out of a mole hill,is this scenario.They should of reviewed it next year,save all the controversy.0 -
Dinny Long is on hes down the N20,and taking a left turn outside Mallow ,For Clyda
13- to 8.
Senior next year.
Superb win,absoultely delighted for them.It not always those that inflict the most pain,but those that endure the most pain,that emerge in glory,is a famous quote.
Clyda are true to every word.
No one can say Clyda havent endured heartbreak,so sob storys not just the last three finals,but Clyda have lost more finals than they won,bt never give up.
Heart,hunger,will,and when knocked down,just bounce back like a kangaroo,ready for the next hurdle.
RESilence ,is in spades with Clyda.
And they kept the best til last,no point playing great against Bantry ,and peaking two early.Their hardest task i said six wks ago,was getting to the final.Once they did,the final ,i felt this was their time.
I felt they would beat Nemo and win the final.They play defensive,as they dnt have forwards,that are free scoring ,but have got unfair critisicm , that there an injustice to football,and they play awful etc ,and dire,and not good for football.
Their win was a win that represents everything good in football.
Talk about over exaggeration.Today they were splendid,played a counter attacking game,at pace,movement,space and off loading in the taclkle like the All blacks.
They played a half forward deep ,but nt 12 men behind the ball.
And when they needed they kept ball ,like munster against tolouse 2008, just keep ball and protect what you have.
Some of their scores were top class.They played lovely football,macroom were slow,lateral relied too much on the goulds and kiely.
Clyda had jamesmurphy,niall and padraig mullane,two great servants, fitzgerald,o shea,ray and gavin carey and Kissane who like i knew macroom would put gould n him,suited them as it took gould out of the game,all superb.Cian o sullivan ex cork minor,nt normally a forward,brillant,sum pace.
Macroom i hope will win it ,but today nt their day.
To anyone that begrudged them i ,am sure they vindicated themselves ,no goal lost all season ,and the only team unbeaten,Deserving champions,and won in style.Total control.
They may have stumbled along,but today they were classy,and scintalating ,and above all Brave.
They were more attacking and it paid off.
Fortune favours the brave,and nothing is impossible to the brave and faithful.
Munster morals,but no stranger to this clyda team.
Delighted,truly delighted for them .Another great day North Cork.
Take a bow Clyda Rovers.0 -
