Only three points in it now, you'd almost expect Cork to nick it!

No, I wouldn't, and it would probably be undeserved.

Tipp one up from a 45

An Ciarraioch · 12-06-2016 05:03PM

Tipp one ahead now.

zetecescort · 12-06-2016 05:06PM

Well done to Tipp. Words cant describe what we are at.

An Ciarraioch · 12-06-2016 05:06PM

2-16 to 3-15, looks like Tipp will hang on!

An Ciarraioch · 12-06-2016 05:08PM

FT score.

ShamoBuc · 12-06-2016 05:08PM

Cork did very well to come back, twice from 8 down to draw level but lose in the end by a point. Insipid first half cost us big time.

clerk · 12-06-2016 05:15PM

l'm not at all suprised that Tipp beat us, they're a coming team, this will be far from their last scalp in the next 5 Years. They came very close to beating us 2 Years again in P ui C.

The defeat saves us our currently Annual trip to Kerry for defeat.

Kerry would have beaten us anyway so we go into the qualifiers 1 round early basically.

A lot of young fellows came on and did well.

I'd expect us to bounce back but we're way off the top table in the football, but that's hardly news to us.

The sooner the yes men are gone from Cork GAA the better. Absolutely disgusting how bad the situation is.

I can't wait to see us win the All Ireland in both codes as soon as the magnificent, highly necessary brand new stadium opens!!

Forget it, put your money into local clubs and give venues like Mallow a chance !

Such a depressing time for Cork GAA. When we can't even beat Tipp in a game of football, you know there's something so fundamentally wrong. Hard to believe we won a football All Ireland in 2010 and reached a hurling All Ireland final in 2013. Seems like light years ago

very harsh on tipp , they have been one of the leading under age football sides in the country in the last few years ,

but you are asking the right question , are the clubs in cork producing enough quality players at the moment in either code to really compete ?......

clerk · 13-06-2016 03:29PM

Recently Tipp won a minor All-Ireland football in 2011 beating Dublin (got to the final last Year as well), won a U21 football munster in 2010 (beating Kerry) and 2015 (beating Cork), lost the 2015 U21 All-Ireland by 1 point to Tyrone and now they beat Cork in a match at senior level. No suprise there at all, no drama, just hard graft by Tipp GAA and generally speaking arrogance and nonsense by Cork GAA in being suprised at all.

l like Cork peoples love of sport in general but I was talking to a few arm chair Cork GAA supporters yesterday and the guff was embarrassing, they haven't a clue where we're at in general. The footballers l wouldn't be too worried about in general but there's hardly a few decent hurlers in the County and the strength in depth that would have been there historically is decimated. We can hardly win a game at any level at the minute. This Years minors look ok but overall the situation is of massive concern in terms of even being competitive.

Best of luck to the ladies football team v Kerry this evening

Cork 2-9 Kerry 2-14. Cork led from the start through half time and 10 min into the 2nd half but Kerry turned it around from 2 down at HT.

Cork camogie team begin their championship away to Waterford tomorrow

ShamoBuc · 20-06-2016 10:27AM

Home to Dublin for the hurlers. Could go either way really. Game on probably Saturday 2nd July in páirc uí rinn.

Figsy32 · 20-06-2016 11:06AM

Hardest draw but probably the best draw in a lot of ways. We're not winning an All-Ireland this year and we'll learn a lot more from playing Dublin than we would the others.

I fear them giving us an awful hiding in our own back garden

Aside from Clare in Ennis this is toughest draw either county could have gotten given our ignominious exit from the provincials.

Quick question, is this likely to be all ticket do you think?

Capacity of PUC is approx 16,000 so not a chance it will need to be all ticket. If for some reason they have to make it an all ticket fixture, there will be no problems getting your hands on one.

Bonniedog · 20-06-2016 01:51PM

I thought PUC was closed at moment and that it be in Riain. Was at the qualifier in 2004/5 and was decent enough crowd but Cork could still have had ambitions of taking the Cats back then! We almost pulled off what would have been huge shock that day if I recall. Hard to believe the bould Dotsy is still hurling!

It will be in páirc uí rinn. Nothing but builders down the páirc.

PUR is 16k. Think commonsense just mixed up the acronym. Figure still stands

It'll have to be all ticket for Championship.

robbiezero · 20-06-2016 04:28PM

As a neutral I think it's a good draw for Cork. Clare in Ennis was the one to avoid. There would have been nothing to be gained from playing Laois or Westmeath. The team has had plenty of time to recover from the Tipperary debacle and if they are not good enough to beat a poor Dublin side at home, they are as well off out of the championship.
If they do win it, it will be a badly needed morale and confidence boost and they might yet salvage something out of the year.

All Munster teams wee on the same side. Toughest fixture they could have gotten bar Dublin in Parnell Park.

letter in the Examiner today

Nodding donkeys’ on County Board

The column by Mike Quirke in Wednesday’s Irish Examiner is hugely appropriate. The heading is Cork has a huge natural oil reserve they just don’t know how to drill for it. He refers to spending €78 million on a stadium while the county teams have no home. Anyone who has seen the oil fields in the USA in the flesh or on film will observe the peculiar old fashioned pumps. These are known by everyone as “nodding donkeys.” They are to me ideal representations of the Cork County Board. We have a shower of “nodding donkeys” following the chief stallion (ass).

In nature the young stallion will lock horns with the stallion and take over the tribe and send the old stallion into exile.

However in Cork the “nodding donkeys” will aid the old stallion and chase off the young(ish) pretender in defiance of the natural order.

It is time the Cork clubs sent representatives with vision and balls to do their county proud and send the “nodding donkeys” into exile along with the old stallion and his stable mates.
