    He should gave buried that! Great ball by Cadogan, easy point for the taking but passed looking for the goal, I like that mentality.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,465 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    goal but 5 wides clocked up already. Game is very open


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,465 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Lot of awful wides from Cork so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,465 ✭✭✭The White Feather

    Again some amount of awful wides so far from Cork


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,163 ✭✭✭munsterlegend


    Cashman and Downey very indisciplined in the tackle.

    Point in it at ht.

    Good enough game, conditions worsened throughout the half.
    Defence playing well enough, too many wides.

    Would disagree. Poor mistakes on both sides granted it's only the 2nd game for months. Defence giving away alot of needless frees

    Are Cork jerseys darker than previous or is it the rain making them appear darker?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,465 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    What is the ref at there with the frees for Tiop? Giving them loads


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,602 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Ref does seem a little too eager to give a free against Cork.

    Jerseys are a deeper red this year I'd say.

    Fine goal by Cork.

    Running straight at that defence.

    Fitzgibbon could have taken the point but instead went goalwards.

    A few stats for wides by RTE would be nice

    Cork have around 10 and Tip have around 8

    Awesome point by Connery!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,602 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Corks defence really on top. Tips forwards cant seem to beat their men.

    Great to see Cadogan back in.

    He is really impressing!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,602 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Ref is not endearing himself at all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,465 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    The amount of frees Tipp are getting is ridiculous


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,023 ✭✭✭Speakerboxx


    Is the ref wearing a Tipp Jersey?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,602 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    A very enjoyable game, draw a fair result.

    I'm impressed with our defence. I don't think they allowed a single shot at Corks goal or were beaten by their man. They defended very well. A few too many frees but only Cork seemed to travel or hand pass incorrectly.

    Fun game. Would have liked to have won it with that Horgan shot that hit the post.

    Ref gave them a load of frees so its hard to win games against that. The main thing is that it was another good performance.

    A few things to work on still but things progressing nicely I think!

    Yes, that ref could only see one team.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭RedRochey


    Tipp could've easily won it with the amount of wides they had but then they got a lot of harsh frees, like I know refs should be blowing up for steps more often but Jesus some of those were very harsh

    Puck outs still need a lot of working on, a lot of time it was just a case of short pass to corner back and then run straight into trouble, need to work on creating space and not giving a pass for the sake of it

    Cork worked some lovely scores though with some running and hand passes, still worry that a lot of our forwards aren't able to win their own ball, look a bit light


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,069 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    That was much better from cork.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭The Golden Miller


    If Cork weren't before, they should be definitely be aiming for the All-Ireland now. No reason they shouldn't win it, as talented as any team, if not more so


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Horse84


    Any sign of colm Spillane in the panel? Declan Dalton also?


  • Registered Users Posts: 480 ✭✭costacorta


    Can O Mahony kick a ball over the bar at all? Dreadful for inter county.

    The difference in shooting ability is something else. Our basic skills are beyond useless.

    Maybe they needed another few sessions on youghal beach to help them with their football skills.

    Echo says those two and Bill Cooper are injured, didn't say any return date

    Come championship, if we are to have a chance we need a fully fit Cooper and Spillane. Short passing is nice and all but physicality is needed.

    Not sure about All Ireland but if they can be competitive against the big teams, they might have some chance.
