The White Feather

Jack O'Connor really putting his hand up today

Seadin

Cork falling asleep last 15 mins. Lads we are bang average. Nobody should be getting carried away with All Irelands this year. Pat Ryan is just hopeless manager. Tactically destroyed yet again. That's his job. We are in big trouble here. Waterford back to three points.

ShamoBuc

Two wins.

Just about.

The White Feather

We eased off a tad bit too early but we had a lot of subs, Worrying to see some players go off early and hopefully they are ok for the next day.

The main thing is to get the win and we do have a bit to work on still. Things going nicely from what I can see.

Good to see Connolly get a few minutes. Harnedy back too. Coleman makes a huge difference to us. Always looks so assured. O'Connnor looks like he is bursting to get in that team. Lehane was playing well until taken off. Hayes looks very strong. Lot to be positive about.

Hopefully Cunningham gets some game time as well as a few others to come back. Some real competition for places developing

Straight Talker

We were winning comfortably but then we had another fadeout, and let a bang average Waterford team back into it. Still though a win is a win, but these are not the type of performances that will win all Ireland's.

Seadin

I'm really not convinced we are making any progress under Ryan and I think we will actually struggle to get out of Munster when it comes down to it. There are parts of the last three games where we have totally collapsed. Very worrying and time will prove that point. We have too much to improve on between now and championship.

ye made 11 changes from a very competitive league game v kilkenny two weeks ago , got to have a proper look at tommy o connell in midfield who looks a hard bit of stuff , something cork have been missing , brian saunders has broken the collins code in the goalkeeping department

the backs played well , put their men under pressure , problem is it didnt stick at the other side and there are some big names up there not doing it , fine goal by jack o connor today but he lived off very little

yes when the ground dries and you get a few players back , but you would like to see the marquee players step it up this time of year too

i think he is doing okay , players need to step up a bit , there wii be no fear of cork come munster championship , but its a worry when key players like harnedy and lehane need encouragement against a makeshift waterford team

windy shepard henderson

i am probably being tough on jack o connor with 1-3 but lehane and horgan with one point from play between them is a serious worry

Highlight for me today is the footballers. Fantastic win when everyone doubted them. Delighted for the team.

Hurlers fell apart in last 10 minutes. Waterford are very very poor and we struggled in patches.

Seadin

This is a habit that has happened to Cork in three league games now. A period where the hurlers haven't performed. Why is this happening? Why isn't this a concern to some fans? Do you think if this was against the top teams what would happen? I honestly think we could be in for a big reality check against Clare Limerick or Tipperary in Munster championship. They aren't going to have these blips our lads are having. Ryan hasn't much time to fix this issue.

As for the footballers things are really bad when we are delighted to be getting over the line against Fermanagh. Is this the standard we are aspiring to be? Let's remember Donegal beat Fermanagh off the pitch last week. No disrespect to Fermanagh but Cork were in Division one competitive and winning it out not so long ago. It's just unbelievable that we fighting yet again to stay in Division Two. Going down to Division Three was bad a few years ago and we are very close again of going down.

The White Feather

Cork will be playing in that black and red kit once more, this time the footballers get to wear it against Kildare next Sunday.

It is supposed to be the training kit so its meant to be just for these 2 games and back to the traditional Blood and Bandage thankfully.

The_Kew_Tour

Blake Murphy leaving football squad I hear

The White Feather

Yes he has left as he was not getting any game time. I thought it odd that he wasn't in panel for Fermanagh game. I thought he was injured but he was not even picked.

zetecescort

For those making plans for St Patricks day, both league games moved form Sunday to Saturday

The White Feather

In Camogie today, a defeat for Cork

zetecescort

another disappointing result in the ladies football, scoring only 7 points, just 2 in the 2nd half

ShamoBuc

Anyone hear the rumour re Mark Coleman breaking his jaw in Dingle, a training weekend away apparently - hopwfully just a rumour.

Was a certain Limerick wing-back in the vicinty at the time I wonder? 😃

The White Feather

Even if its true, Christy Ring said "You don't play Hurling with your nose" in this case his Jaw!

Edit....

Jokes aside, I have just seen it confirmed on twitter

"Another injury setback for Cork hurler Mark Coleman, fractured his jaw in a training session with Cork today."

windy shepard henderson

that is a serious blow , fcuk me !!

Corcaigh84

We are completely fucked if Coleman misses another season. That is desperate news

zetecescort

Terrible news and best of luck in recovery. At least we still have a couple of league games to work on somebody in his place

Straight Talker

Kildare are out of sorts themselves. Hopefully we turned the corner last week. This is a winnable game but Kildare will be seeing it that way as well.

lukin

Anyone have the YouTube link for the Cork Kildare game?

Thanks 👍

Corcaigh84

I'm hearing Tim O'Mahony walked from the panel - can we ban all future training camps in Ciarraí 🙄
