Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Cork taking all the wrong options for the last few minutes. Bad wides and bad passes

Letting this game get away from us

Kerry 1 up

We're starting giving away passes straight to Kerry players

Kerry 3 up

Getting cleaned midfield at this stage

Kerry 4 up with 1 min left

Only 4 points scored in second half to their 8

5 mins injury time though

Final score Kerry 0-17 v Cork 1-09

Lost our way completely at midfield in the second half, which gave them so much possession that the scores were bound to follow.
It really was a Jeckle and Hyde performance comparing each half.

We didnt help by giving away a few soft frees in front of goal.

Blake Murphy looks a fine prospect.

Great kicker of a ball - he needed to take more shots when he even had half a chance

Well that's Cork football for you. Good team but always beaten by Kerry no matter what the grade. I say it was more we threw away that game than Kerry being better but thats life. We left Kerry dominate mid field in 2nd half. Why?

Football or hurling it doesn’t matter our side line can never make a move to change a game Kerry brought on 4 to5 subs in the second half and we brought no one on until game was over with about 2 to 3 minutes to go

Not true

We had 2 of the 5 subs used by HT

Subs: B Lynch (Douglas) for Phelan (28); C Corbett (Clyda Rovers) for Ó Luasa (HT, inj);

One 10 mins into second half

B Curtin (Kilshannig) for Lawton (39);

One 20 mins

D Hayes (Carbery Rangers) for B Hayes (52);

Then one at the end

C Russell (Douglas) for Herlihy (59).

Could we possibly have used 2 more subs earlier ... Yes

Then again you also have to allow for injuries

2-17 v 0-09 a fine win!

I know there won't be any games for a good while but just in case anyone didn't know, Cork footballer Ruairi Deane had to have surgery on his hamstring in London. He is supposed to have got the injury in training.

He is meant to be out for at least 4 months so best wishes to him in his recovery.

Might be a good time to do it, mightn’t miss a game at this rate. Hope the surgery and recovery goes well

I thought the exact same thing as in at least there are no matches for a while!

If you follow Hoggie on twitter, he has been putting up really cool hurling challenges while this covid is ongoing. Showing off some of his great skills and he makes it look easy!

Not strictly GAA related but I think it's brilliant to see the use of the Páirc as test centre

1000 test a day will be great to help our local health and the country

Great operation down there

Settles down for the afternoon.....dubs v Kerry 2013 semi final on after it.

Great game all the same. I remember it well. We couldn't get through that awesome half back line of Keady, Finnerty and McInerney in the first half but at ht, I was confident of the win, despite being 5 behind. I felt the wind would allow Cunningham drive the ball over the half backs and into the 21. Their full back line were very beatable. The goals came. The win came and the first part of the double was done. Denis Walsh never really got the title of winning the double was a pity I think given how much he played for both teams.
Attending those games was normal back then, oh for a return to normality!

Luck was on our side in 1990. We were 2nd best for nearly all that game.

Fine by me.

We've lost many a game when being the better team.

Standard of hurling was quite poor

We were lucky and the standard of hurling was poor.

Your opinion has been noted.

I have never seen an AI final where so many of the losing team were man of the match contenders. Very entertaining game though.

Just wondering has there ever been a definitive all-time Cork team ever compiled, like other counties picking Team of the Millenium etc? Can't find one anywhere and was just curious how a Cork one would compare to the other top teams.

Assuming Ring, Lynch, JBM, Cummins and Cunnigham would all be guaranteed inclusions, who else would be nailed-on? Gerald McCarthy, John Fenton, Brian Corcoran, Sean Og and John and Patrick Horgan? Tony O'Sullivan had a great career at no.12. The Rock and O'Connor twins, along with Joe Deane, would all make the team in my lifetime (90s onwards), but how about an all-time XV?

Need something to get through this lockdown

I'd have Wayne Sherlock in both corners.
