Obviously never going to happen but he would transform that team and get the very best out of the team and make the players who played today look like different players altogether.

It is amazing what a team can produce when they have the right manager as against the wrong one.

He has absolutely trandsformed the minor team in Kerry, an extraordinary turnaround from where they were.

Of course it won't happen but then again the county board don't seem too bothered about days like today, playing second fiddle to Kerry, Dublin, Mayo, Tyrone etc ....

There is some potential in this team but it needs to be properly managed, and the current management team isn't up to it. Cork managed to reduce the deficit at one stage to 3 points before half-time despite not playing with any real fluency.
The second half was a write-off as Kerry came out of the traps early and killed any potential Cork momentum, which wasn't helped by the stop/start nature of the game.
Time for a management clear out, and if that means bringing in outsiders, so be it.

I would go with a bended knee and go get Jack O'Connor, don't mind this Cork manager pride ****e - Cork Football needs a complete fresh start, take county politics out of it and give him a free reign.

A sad day for Cork football. That was one of the most dis heartening performances I have ever seen.

If we need get a Kerry man in so be it. They are proven winners. This Healy fella would put Leitrim into free for all. How in Gods ****ing name did he get the job? How in the world are Cork people so stupid.

2003 and 2004 were bad years but this is the worst of the lot. 3 awful performances. We created 3 or 4 great chances for goal but now that we lost I'm glad we did not score them as it would only cover the glaring cracks.

I don't follow the club scene like I used to, but is there many footballers out there that should be in that panel or even starting.

Oh I don't disagree. My point was the appointment seemed solid enough, but agree it hasn't worked out. Needs the team to stage a Lazarus like revival to save him now. I always think anyone who says Cork don't have the players just doesn't know west Cork, it's black football, and they should easily draw enough talent from that area and tradition alone to be better than most counties. If they don't, it's not about the absence of players, it's down to the county board and the man on the sideline and their failure to transfer that to the county side.

not to mention pissing away a decade of being on top of Kerry at underage. now that they have won 3 or 4 minors in a row it is going to get a lot harder for Cork in the coming years

In fairness to Peadar Healy, he put in the hard yards over decades, was a selector so knew the senior county set up, and probably knew every footballer in West Cork since they were playing under 10s. Presume he had the support of every club west of Clon. Plus, ironically, when Kerry's strongest club side was looking around this county they went for him, so he has a great cv. Maybe his poor showing there should have sounded more alarm bells, but it's not like he was plucked from obscurity.

At least you can look at the hurlers to see how quickly a team's fortunes can turn around - in Kerry, we can remember taking a twenty-point hammering in 1990 and winning a Munster title the next year. It'll take time, but with the next three clashes in the Páirc, you should be a lot better next year.

Thanks Micko, didn't know you were on boards

We need a Kerry man to take the challange on to Manage us. We really looked a poor Div 2 outfit. Sad state. We are not in transion we are in freefall.ðŸ˜¢

Was I the only one to turn this off just after the second half started?

Kerry pulled away and I saw no plan B for Cork.Not even sure they had a Plan A to be honest!

It was just too embarrassing to watch

Strange game.

Lost by 11 and we really could and should have scored 3 or 4 goals.

Awful from the beginning, giving Kerry such an easy lead is disgraceful. Our defence actually looked like they didn't know how to defend, with only 1 or 2 actually sticking to their men.

What was the game plan? It looked like we didn't have any.

Peadar really needs to jog on and the ccb need to get the right man in, not Their right man.

Awful really, considering we have a good team, with a sprinkling of good footballers, but we are like a rudderless ship and until that changes we will not see the best that this cork team can produce.

No tbh I said last night there could be 10-15 in this - Cork football is falling apart..

I presume he was when he was shifted into the corner.

Theres ALWAYS a free man. Its as if they playing a run-to-the-ball system.

If the defence actually stuck with their men we might have a chance, only one defender seems capable of doing it.

Donaghy gives a pass and three players go to the guy he gave it to and then he gets it back for an easy point. Brain dead stuff from Cork. A simple one-two and they couldn't defend it.

This is what happens when no one knows what man they are meant to be marking so they all run to the one guy

Maguire the only one going well so far. Somehow we are still in it

I don't think there is actually much between them skillwise. The difference is how they are set up.Cork players marking space instead of men and Cork need to believe in themselves.

Cork should be acting like it is the second half against Tipp.

Just go for it and compete. Not 15 in our own half.We are now having a better period right now as we are beginning to get a bit of belief and actually go for it.

We have had some shocking wides like Walshs shot there and we could have had a goal. Mind you Kerry should have got one there too.

Did anyone expect any different? We might get a bit of fight for a few minutes after HT but will be surprising if we are within 10 at the end

This is actually atrocious...

I am already questioning why I am bothering to watch this.

Baffling how we are not pushing up on the their kickouts.

Just letting them run out with it gives them possession

And then we send 2 of our knockouts straight to them, pitiful really.

Mahony0509

Ian Maguire shoulda had a goal. Forgot to kick the ball ffs. This is terrible.
