Well done to Midleton today. Beat Ard Scoil with a penalty in injury time. Sets up an all Cork semifinal with St Colemans and a Cork team in the Harty final

Were Waterford not playing a scrap team?

Wouldn't exactly say a scrap team. Still a few well known names. Plus a good few off the u21 team who would be expected to have a bright future so it was a pretty decent team for this time of year

I'd rate Collins as an excellent keeper but would still have Nash as my first choice.

Just wondering what would be your reason for making a change?

Nash is now what, 32/33? Oldest on the panel? Collins, along with many other out field players that we are seeing are the future. It stems to reason that a young full and half back line, and forwards for that matter, get used to playing with puck outs and calls from a goalkeeper that will be in the position going forward for years to come. Thats of course if Collins/Dalton are the next keeper to hold the position.

Collins is a better shot-stopper, and hits better puck-outs. Typically though goalies in Cork don't get dropped unless they retire.

The GK issue is big for me and I had hoped for some sort of change. Nash's puck outs are extremely poor and spend way too long in the air. Both Collins/Dalton play out field for their clubs although Dalton plays in goal with Imokilly seems to be a trend lately in Cork, with Darren Mc being a sub keeper and playing out field with Ballymartle. Is it so hard to find a keeper that actually plays in goal all the time.

Wish he'd give Pa Collins a proper go starting. Hopefully the league sees him take the number 1 jersey and if so i cant see Nash sticking around so Dalton to step up.

Absolute nail on the head D'Agger.

Perhaps we've become immune given our modern history but if we stand back and look at what Kelly came out with, it's actually explosive stuff in GAA terms.
If a recently retired player of Kellys standing came out with this in any other self respectng GAA county there would be a revolt.
Rebels me arse. We should hand back the moniker at this stage.

D'Agger

Ger Lane has completely missed the fúcking point here by the look of things

Kellys gripe wasn't that they didn't have good enough facilities, or that the equipment wasn't good enough. It was that the Senior team are holed up in Fermoy acting independently.

Compare that to what Dublin & Tyrone have achieved, with Kerry following suit in Currans soon - big fundraising, an effort to not just provide facilities, but provide top of the line facilities for use across all age groups - senior down to u16 development squads.

Kelly described it as wanting a 'This is Cork' mentality & that is 100% what Cork GAA needs right now.

It just goes to show you - this, genuine, credible and very true piece of criticism by Kelly has been taken, misinterpreted and responded to in a negative fashion - trying to put a positive spin on it

'Sure the players like Fermoy'

I'm sure they do Ger, but your no.1 football representatives should be representing Cork and setting an example for the next generation of young fellas coming through by training alongside them. All good though - I'm sure the one pitch at PUC will be ample & the players will like it.

DuffleBag

Well in fairness Paddy Kelly never said they put the gym together and/or painted the place, that was Kieran Shannon, who we all know has an agenda. I'd be more inclined to believe Ger Lane over him in that regard.

One of these guys is lying and imo it ain't Paddy Kelly.

The world and their dog knows the discrepancy between how the footballers and hurlers are regarded and treated by the CCB.

Great to see the hurlers rack up such an impressive score, don't care who they were up against, they needed that.

Footballers got a lot closer to Kerry than I thought they would, 13 wides and a missed pen aswell , that was a very good Kerry team for this time of the year.

Well there is change on the way. Frank has announced his retirement. No, wait. That was 8 years ago, in 2009. He did say that he was giving 2 years notice, so would not actually be stepping down until 2011.

What Paddy Kelly described today is what so many people have known about for years and years. If this was in any industry or other organisation, there would be uproar. The 'consultation' that supposedly went on last September out in Eire Og, with no opportunity to discuss or have meaningful follow up is what people have spoken about for years and years and years.

I was a dedicated supporter of Cork GAA teams for years, travelling all over the country to support them. Four years ago, I took the decision that while Frank Murphy and his cronies remain in charge, I will never again go to a Cork match, hurling or football. I have stuck to my decision, although I've often found it hard. We're going nowhere, very quickly and those responsible should hang their heads in shame.

How can this be allowed to happen? Very serious questions need to be asked, beginning with how could somebody announce their retirement, yet that same person still remains, with an absolute stranglehold on power, 8 years later, during which time the general state of Cork GAA and morale has descended to an all time low?
