Losing becomes a habit. That's Cork hurling right now. We cant win any tight games at any level now. Dissapointing and worrying going forward.

I think you are being very harsh on Cork who I personally thought hurled oustandingly well tonight. Yes, they need to perhaps tighten up at the full back line but I would put Tipperarys victory down to getting the bit of luck at the right time. There was absolutely nothing between the two teams. Dont forget our goalkeeper made a top drawer save in the first half when Cork were in the ascendency. No disrespect to either Kilkenny or Wexford, but I feel that both Cork and Tipp will meet in the final of this competition if they can raise their performances for next day.

was at the game. people here saying Cork threw it away are way off the mark. it was a great game of hurling with nothing betwen both teams. Tipp hit alot of wides early on. wind was swirling. I think O regans injury waqs crucial. Connery was struggling with cramp or a knock late on but still fought hard and was unlucky that his final shot went wide. The players were gutted on the pitch afterwards. they didnt bottle this tipp won it. Think collins wont be happy with the winning goal though.

Would agree with that, absolutely nothing between both sides, a fantastic advert for the game and an example I guess of why this grade has been persisted with despite an over run calender. I think it should also be noted the role the referee played, we are all very quick to criticsie referees but can be slow to praise them on a job well done, he definitley played a part last night and in a positive way.

Having watched the replay of the goal, to be fair to Collins, Morris struck it in a very hard place for a keeper to stop it unless it hits his body, I dont know if Morris meant it or not but it was right in that sweet spot, if he goes across Collins like most would it makes it a lot easier for the keeper, Morris also took the shot relatively quickly which may have caught Collins by suprise, I think most forwards there take the ball in a few yards closer.

Great save in fairness but the shot was poor. Back across the keeper, instead of low into the corner, which was the easier shot.

At least we have Cork forwards gunning for goals, which is a positive to take.

Cork were seconds away from winning that game last night. Its a game of centimetres really and fortunately from a Tipp POV they went our way.
When Joe Canning slotted over a last minute winner two years ago which was seemingly through the eye of an needle, the cm didnt go our way and Bubbles shot a minute later went a fraction wide. Speak of Bubbles, his own free deviated within yards of the post back in 2014.

I honestly couldnt say either team deserved it more than the other last night. It was a classic for the ages. One of the best games ive ever seen and my verdict would have been no different had we lost.

You are dead right and to prove it look at this. This was definitely wide. I don't understand why Hawkeye wasn't switched on. Maybe a replay? Or maybe in the final anyway?!!!!!

It was wide to be fair but i understand that one of Cork's frees in the first half was touch and go too. Id have to look back on that though.

Any word on whether J Meyler will move on or stay involved with seniors? Who are the likely options if there’s a vacancy?

Has Meyler been that bad? Won a Munster and beat a Limerick team this year in their own backyard? Might work better as a Cork selector perhaps but he strikes me as a hurling fanatic. Would perhaps suit an Offaly or a Westmeath down to pal and done fantastic work with Wexford, Carlow and Kerry.

Would Kingston return do you think? Or perhaps even Sully take it on?

Donal Og would be lovely for the job but you'd imagine there'd be too many people he annoyed in the County Board to allow that to happen for a few years yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if Donal O'Grady's name popped up again

Both Donals have very lucrative "jobs". Would the Cork County Board be willing to compensate them should either be interested.

I can’t see O Grady coming back again. He said as much before.

Just curious why you think Donal Óg is a better option? Has he done anything besides a poor job as a coach with Clare? Would much rather see him take a job like Eddie Brennan did with Laois before he got a chance with the Cork team.

Just feel the last few were good coaches but possibly lacking the motivational edge. Donal Og seems to be the sort of voice that could rile up a dressing room and would get plenty of respect from players who grew up watching him play.

Clare did win the league when he was there.So i wouldn't call his tenure with Clare, a total and utter failure.

Good game, Doireann doing very well up front, Orla covering every blade of grass as usual, sweeper system curtailing Armagh well.

zetecescort

Cork had Ciara O'Sullivan in the sin bin for the frist 10 min of 2nd hald and Armagh have made them pay, now leading 4-9 to 1-8 with 13 min left

edit: Cork get a goal back, 4-9 to 2-8

zetecescort

3rd Cork goal, 3-8 to 4-9 with 9min left

ShamoBuc

What a second half. Armagh went a full 10 points ahead with 13 minutes remaining.
Cork came thundering back with Ciara,Scally and Saoirse - Should have been on 5 mins earlier - doing great work. Fantastic game, thoroughly enjoyable.

Ft Cork 3-11Armagh 4-09

Meyler got his chance. So did Kingston. They failed they shouldnt get any 2nd chances. Someone new needed with a bit of guts and who is ruthless. Love to see Davy Fitz taking it on. He would get the best out of the team no doubt. But that wont happen.

Best of luck to Footballers in both codes today
