I assume Rule 5.11c - to charge an opponent for the purpose of giving a team mate an advantage. The penalty for a player already booked is to be sent off, and a free from where the offence took place.

If O'Donnell had possession and the shoulder was fair, then obviously that isn't a free.

Regarding consulting, the referee has "the power to consult" and "on a needs basis" with umpires. But the referee's decision is final. In this case you could see that the referee was looking directly at the incident.

For example, if he hadn't seen it then he has the power to ask the umpire what happened to help him establish facts.

100%, that would be embarrassing getting through with two or three losses. They don't deserve to go through on that record. I honestly think we won't need to worry that Limerick and possibly Tipp will decide our fate without us worrying going through on points difference or games won or lost. No way we are beating Limerick and it's pretty bad if we have to depend on other results to get us through.

Cheers for that, good to know in future.

Yeah Ryan was appointed on a three year term, and just because the Cork public want him gone doesn't mean that the county board are going to agree. They did offer Kieran Kingston an extension after the 2022 championship but he declined it.

Only problem with this is that in theory every county could lose at least two games and qualify under the current system. So taking this to its logical conclusion you'd have no All Ireland champions potentially. Kilkenny played in the 2019 All Ireland Final after losing two matches.

Warning issued.

Ryan does have another year left but lose to Limerick and beat Tip will be 2 wins in 8 games I think - I would like to think he would walk himself with those stats. No progression and no U20 stars to be seen - complete joke.

We could qualify and turn things around somehow, if not I think he will go himself.

Minors are down 0-07 v 1-02 at ht

It's so noticable how bad our kickouts are, putting us under big pressure.

Minor football: Kerry 0-7 Cork 1-2 HT. Miskella penalty after 20 min keeping us in touch. struggling to win our kick outs.

The White Feather

Its a brutal game to watch. Not any of the players fault but it feels like the team mirror each other just with Kerry a bit better so far

Kerry 0-12 Cork 1-7 FT. closed the gap to 1 a couple of times but never got level

Poor enough overall but they will surely improve for their next game.

The White Feather

That was a terrible game to watch. Kerry just that bit better.

Football is becoming unwatchable whereas I love any underage hurling game

I'm Cork public and I don't want to see him gone. When he started I felt 3 years might not be enough time to get the minors and U20s going probably, but work towards that and you never know what might occur in the meantime. I mean, who would you appoint to bring them on that knows them more than Pat?

Limerick were planning well in advance of one or two years, look at their schools team (Ard Scoil) and Harty successes a decade ago. Ard Scoil were scouting for players in primary school ffs, that's the kind of planning required, not knee jerk reaction tactics. Leave Pat complete his term, and Ben take it from there and we should be in good shape.

And you are the one then that calls me negative when I say the same thing as you about the footballers. How ironic is that. I rest my case.

The White Feather

I was talking about the game itself. Not the players. I said it at half time too.

The White Feather

Team for tonights U20 Munster Final against Kerry. Reminder that it is live on TG4

The_Kew_Tour

It was interesting see some Cork players clapping each other on back after last night. I hope it was sign that they can move up a gear. Was decent cork crowd at it. Some handy players nothing stood out for either though.

Going tonight again. Hopefully a good performance need keep Dillon quiet.

ShamoBuc

I reckon there is a lot of room for improvement from the minor team, a lot of fine players but the performance in general was poor.

Regardless of what happens this year, i do think that Pat needs to start blooding more of the all Ireland winning U20's next year.

The issue here i think is that he's been manager for almost two years now, and he still hasn't settled on an established starting fifteen.

We've been way too loose and easy to score against for the last decade and a bit, i don't think there's any knee jerking highlighting that.

We do seem to be behind the curve tactically (it's been that way since that 2006 all Ireland defeat to Kilkenny) in comparison to our competitors. I get the impression that other counties are confident enough that they'll always beat us in a shootout imo.

We could be looking at a record here of one or two championship wins in eight attempts under Pat Ryan at the end of the championship.

That would make Pat Ryan our worst manager since Con Roche in 1989. I do agree with you that Ben O'Connor is the heir apparent for the job though.

Kerry 0-9 Cork 0-5 HT

ShamoBuc

Ht Kerry 0-09 v 0-05

Open enough first half, both defences doing well. We have created a few goal chances and will need to take them in the second half if we are to win. We'll have the wind in the second half.

The White Feather

We have had a couple of goal chances that would have been great to get one

The White Feather

Uphill task now after a Kerry goal

ShamoBuc

6 mins in and we conceed 1-03

As good as game over already.

The White Feather

We need to start going for goals now. We haven't taken any chance yet

The White Feather

Should have tucked that away there. Another goal chance missed

Seadin

Lads doesn't matter what grade it is against Kerry they always beat us. No fight no guts nothing. You just couldn't watch Cork in any grade playing Kerry. Clean sweep done again by Kerry in all grades.

namloc1980

Same old story no matter the grade. Very frustrating to see lads getting into great positions and just fluffing it. Not clinical enough at all.

ShamoBuc

Start of the second half, conceeded 6 points, lost by 6 points.

Created several goal chances during the game - didn't take a single one.

Corkery's young fell looks a nice player.
