Wheres the ruthless corner back...the dominating fullback..the powerful centre forward...wheres the ash...Its a disaster. I grew up watching Cork and was always told my my Clare father that Cork never look for trouble but by God they dont back down. Cork back down now..Some of those Tipp forwards running through should have been met with a shoulder in the centre of their body mass and take the cards...so sad.

Donal og needs to get in their before ‘John bulls’ game takes over completely. Depending on tradition to pull you through a ‘down turn’ in success is not going to work........the edge and fear that the cork jersey put into oppositions heads is well and truely gone and no loss.....but it’s the first mistake a lot of the ‘weaker counties’ used to make but not anymore.....thankfully all the top 7/8 county sides and even club sides wouldn’t ‘fear cork’ anthing Like they did 30/40 years ago.....incidently when is the last time a cork club won the Munster or All Ireland club final.....2002/2003....?

The White Feather wrote: » What was that red for? Must have did something the linesman saw Congats to Tipp. That opening 10 mins killed us. I think we will get a good few seniors from this team. Losing the final in this manner is awfully disappointing but the main thing is bringing players through to the seniors.

We have learned nothing and will continue to win nothing until that lesson is learned, at every grade, both codes.
