Massive pressure on Cork next weekend. Hard to see them getting the result that's required.

Massive pressure yes. Its a real 'knock out championship' game for Cork, which is what I'm looking forward to seeing.

Only 3 points or less separating the sides over the past 5 or 6 games - I'm expecting a close game and hopefully a pen decision goes in our favour for a change and that could make the difference.

I certainly wouldn't fear Limerick in anyway for this game. I think we are due a win.

Think Cork have gone backwards. Limerick at full strength will win handy imo . We know this time next week

They won't be on the right side of the result anyway that's for sure. I love to see it but we all have high expectations next week and that's when they won't win. I don't want to say it but Limerick would have to collapse badly for Cork to win this one and it just won't happen . I will record and watch afterwards. Not able to watch Cork games anymore without feeling tense. Not good for one.

Like I said, Cork would have to play the hurling of their lives and Limerick would want to be so badly under par and referee in our favour to have any hope. I think it's safe to say our championship is over next Sunday. It's a safe bet I think.

I would give Cork a right good chance, apart from the 2021 All Ireland final games between them have been extremely close, I don't think Limerick will win all their round robin games [they know they can afford to lose at least one and still make a Munster final]

That's a stretch, outside chance.

there are no "outside chances" in Munster hurling round robin series

The home group stage game in the football against the Ulster champions will be in Pairc Ui Rinn. The pitch in PUC won't be available due to the Springsteen concert.

I think we'll have a right cut off Limerick. As to whether it'll be good enough time will tell, but both players and management need to stand up and make a statement on Saturday evening.

This was on at the very end of The Sunday Game last night; Donal Og Cusack highlighted the shocking lack of effort by Cork in the lead-up to Shane O Donnell's goal last Sunday;

Lads this is why Cork are not able to win big games, no excuses for this. I am posting it because the very same thing happened in 2022 when Clare beat us in Thurles. Clare scored a point and the ball was carried from the puck-out to the scorer without a single Cork player laying a finger on any Clare player. I can't remember who the scorer was but I distinctly remember that clip being shown on the Sunday Game that night to highlight the lack of work-rate by Cork.

And here we are two years later and the exact same thing is happening. The more things change in Cork hurling the more they say the same it seems.

Cork lost by 11 in the last championship game in PuC back in 22.

Not saying it means anything for Saturday but 2 of Corks last 3 championship games against Limerick were hammerings.

The last 4 games between them have had an average margin of victory of 9 points for Limerick. It's been fairly one sided in most recent times with the exception of last year.

Minor footballers on now on tg4 youtube.

Fine start, 1-04 to no score up after 10 minutes.

Miskella with the goal again.

Clare down to 14. Should be further ahead.

Well no one expects Cork to win, and a lot of people in Cork itself are not expecting a Cork win either. Hopefully we can keep it close, and we are long overdue to come out the right side of a close one.

thesultan

Curious to know who are all these u20s that should be on the team?

Two of them played against Clare; Brian Hayes and Ethan Twomey.

ShamoBuc

Rumour has it that Joyce is out, Tommy to start at centre back. O'Flynn will start.

jack747

A long shot but anyone hardly selling 2 Stand tickets for the game on Saturday night or point in the direction of where I might pick some up? I see terrace tickets still on Ticketmaster but was looking to bring my auld lad so seats are preferred. I'm a blow in so cant go through my local club etc.

zetecescort

Coleman for Joyce, O'Flynn not on the panel

Tim O’Mahony wing back 😭

That's a bit different and not in a good way.

Cork 0-12 Clare 1-9 HT

The White Feather

Goals were the difference in that minor game. We missed our chances whereas they took theirs!

Its worrying to me that we have a minor keeper copying Patrick Collins in just giving away points with poor puckouts. I was hoping Collins would be dropped for the seniors as he is a really weak link.

callaway92

More than just the goals on the scoreboard being the difference. Cork were stink in fairness.

Seadin

It starts with beaten in the seniors by clare beaten in the u20s by Tipp beaten in the minors by Clare and next weekend beaten by Limerick in the seniors. What a sh#t era for Cork hurling. We don't have the people who have the knowledge to make the changes here either.
