Ft Cork 1-12 v 0-12

Cork get their first win.

Bearly got over the line after getting a goal to go 6 up. Cork football is in an awful state.

Yes.

I'm glad i'm not alone, he's been on the decline for a while now. If we can get a good physical centre forward in the setup there's an all ireland there for the taking

You are of course 100% correct.

p.s. apart from...Barely ....of course

Nice to win all the same and get points on the board. Nice to see Cork being competitive again and grinding out results.

Nash is playing better than ever. Unbelievable keeper. Automatic pick for championship

I've been watching nash for a few years now and since the got rid of the 'nash free' he's not half as effective. I was at the kilkenny league game and he left in 2 very soft goals. He can be effective with his puckouts but, has blown a little to hot and cold for me these past few years.

He dosen't seem to be able to put 2 performances back to back

Always thought he was massively overrated. Going back to 2013 he let in some very soft goals, he hasn't improved. How he was even nominated for an all star I'll never understand.

i agree, he has this habit of throwing his hands up in the air to pass off the blame to the full back line. I was at a league game in Galway a few years back, same thing again, gave away a soft goal.

In pairc ui rinn, we scored 2 goals against kilkenny to go ahead at half time, only to leave them back in it in the 2nd half with to soft goals and the he puckd the ball straight into ger aylward's hands for the winner.

Also, both of the last 2 all ireland semi finals, very poor. I saw patrick collins in the first game in the new pairc ui chaoimh last year and i thought he played very well. He was bought in last week aswell, did ok but not getting a proper run to prove himself.

Dont be so touchy. Blackrock have won 32 senior counties. What is happening with hurling in the city? Kanturk won the intermediate but have a long way to go to match the Rockies.

Not being touchy but your attitude of not letting other clubs outside the city represent Cork hurling doesn't make sense. Kanturk have every right to represent Cork hurling as much as Blackrock. Yes Kanturk arent the Rockies but they are All Ireland club champions and deserve players to represent Cork too.

An Intermediate team like Kanturk with an all Ireland Title would always have some senior level players doing the heavy lifting. If all their players were of Intermediate standard they wouldn't win a county title.

Pitch inspection at 12:50pm for the cork and tipp game.its been raining fairly heavy for the morning and I know the pitch there is a good one but even the pairc Ui Rinn pitch there's a limit.

Where did I say clubs outside the city shouldnt have representation?
Kanturk, population 2500 approx, has a far less player numbers to draw from than Blackrock. What is happening in Blackrock that they arent featuring at county level?

Cork 3-6 Monaghan 0-0 HT
