Since the emergence of the internet being the place to go for news and sport. Theres more insight and knowledge, i would argue, on a lot of message boards than there is on the likes of the examiner or echo, bar the odd exception.

Niall Coakley, originally from Carrigaline but after transferring to St Judes in Dublin

DuffleBag

Thats a fair ol' trek! Fair dues. I'm guessing he wouldnt be anywhere near the dublin panel if he wanted to switch allegiance?

Clareman in youghal for the wkend & looking for good gaa/porter pub to watch the match tomorrow & have a few gats with the locals. Any recommendations?

Deco99

Obviously the performance against Tipp has given the selection committee the confidence they are going the right way... jesus wept... I mean what do you have to do to get dropped off that team?

Very good win for cork, happy with that

Lim 0-10 v cork 2-12

any kind of a win for the hurlers and it will be a good day all round.

The White Feather

All Ireland Senior Football Qualifier Limerick 0-10 Cork 2-12 (FT)

In Camogie...

All Ireland Senior Championship Grp 1

Cork 0-8 Wexford 0-3 HT

Also the Camogie Intermediates beat Meath 2-9 to 1-10

The White Feather

We have had a load of bad wides already after only 20 mins gone.

These could cost us badly late in the game

The White Feather

Yet another long extended period where we don't score.We haven't scored since the 14th min and its now 31 mins gone.

This just is not good enough at all

The White Feather

Kingston only has the second half to save his job.

We are been beaten all over the pitch except for a few mins near the end of the half. Its amazing we are only 3 points down

Cork 0-9 Wexford 12 HT

Dan Chipowski

An utterly shameful display from Cork today.

As bad as I've ever seen. Walsh, Cahalane, Horgan, Lehane all absolutely pathetic.

Gutless stuff.

Levy Lover

Pathetic stuff. Surely there are better hurlers in Cork than Cahalane. He's clueless.

namloc1980

Pathetic and gutless. We're also rans in hurling.

The White Feather

Just not good enough at all. Kingston should just go straight away like Hodgeson did for England.

Have a clear out of a good few of the players and just start again. We seem to have had basically the same team for the last few years.

Cahalane is really brain dead in particular. Fouling guys going nowhere and attempting points from stupid distances.

People might say where are the players but when the strike was on, a whole new panel was found that did a lot better than I thought at the time so just begin again.

SeaFields

At one stage a Wexford sub came on and gave Lehane a belt of a shoulder. Lehane stepped back. That moment defined where Cork hurling is right now.

Depressing stuff. I don't think calling for Kingstons head or any player in particular either will solve things. There's something fundamentally wrong.

MaxPower131

That strike replacement team was hopeless.
Unfortunately a reshuffle of the panel will yield very little. The players just aren't there. We need some major changes in the structures which will take many years.

Well done Wexford......much better team over 70 minutes

Frank , there I said it .

That was both an absolutely woeful hurling match that Cork deserved to lose and utterly depressing in equal measure.

How was it his fault that the players played so badly today?

Saying "Frank" is a complete cop out for the players, they were woeful today.

Not weighing in here to have a go at ye on a bad day, buy do you really think that the problem is just about today? Would have thought today is a symptom, clearly the team have been decline for several years (jbm papered over the cracks as best he could)? That points to systemic problems. Blaming the players today is fine and obviously they have to take responsibility for their own performance, but to take that as your only lesson from this would seem to be exactly the kind of head in the sand approach that got ye to this state to begin with?

Just the view from outside, though, I'm not knowledgeable about cork hurling. But I do think the championship is more interesting when ye are a serious team.

Grueller

I am a Wexford man coming in peace. I am absolutely thrilled with the display from our lads today. I think they have gone as far as they will now but considering the injuries that they are carrying it was a great achievement.

I am not trying to put the boot in but this is the second major slump in Cork hurling in 20 years.
I the mid 90s ye had a slump but it did not last too long and the underage section was competitive winning minor in 95 and 98 and 21s in 97 and 98 iirc. This slump looks a lot worse though as the underage system is probably fifth out of the five serious hurling counties in Munster.

Frank Murphy has gotten a lot of the blame but is he the major part of the problem? Looking from the outside, when I was hurling colleges myself in Leinster we always had an eye on Colmans and Farranferris and North Mon were historically very strong. These schools do not seem to feature in the aame way now.
In Wexford the loss of St Peters as a boarding school has hurt the standard of their teams, is this the case in the schools mentioned? Personally I think that the scjools need to be strong in any county. Kilkenny, Tipp, Waterford, Clare and Limerick are all featring heavily at this level and it is showing.
Even on the club scene, Cork clubs are not featuring prominently in yhe Munster championship. Like Realt Dearg Sec said above, its a poty because a championship with Cork going well adds colour and character to any summer.

Firstly, congratulations on the win. Chin scored some lovely points to be fair, McDonald was very good too and Wexford battled very well and deserved the win.

Also, don't disagree with anything you've said on Cork hurling in general. We're in massive trouble at every level.

ShamoBuc

Gutless and shameful, plain and simple.

Too many players simply not good enough to wear the jersey. Frank is certainly a major problem, people from the outside simply don't see it, and that's fair enough. But the players could and should have done a lot better. They didn't. The management can only do so much. Heart , belief, hunger, determination and fúcking pride in the jersey were all missing by numerous players, they simply must shoulder the blame.


Congrats to Wexford but an all round shocking year for cork hurling at all levels, Again !!
