A couple of questions for Cork posters...

why have successive cork managements over the past 5 or 6 years selected Cahalane at 3? Is it because he is a Cahalane?

when are they going to realise mark coleman is not a 6..

Why is there so much of this short passing going on around the middle of the field... are they trying to ape what Limerick are doing...

Cork when they last won the all Ireland.. they had some very strong personality’s... donal og Sean og the Rock Ronan Curran and of course the mighty John Gardiner... the present Cork team lack guys with strong personality’s... take mark Coleman.... a great hurler but not a strong personality.... are there any strong personality’s in cork hurling?

Surely Kerry with the most of any county, 38 senior all ireland titles in both hurling and football are at present the greatest.

Cork have Teddy McCarthy though, the only man who'll ever win two all Ireland senior medals in the same year. I have no problems with Kilkenny, i have great respect for the Cats. I actually dislike Tipp more to be honest! However i have little time for yourself and Grats sour grapes and bitterness. Charlie 69 is a Kilkenny poster who conducts himself, with a bit more class and decency than you two!

Attack the post not the poster.

Kerry have more all irelands than Cork. That's a fact. I don't know why you are telling lies.

Not true! Ye have 30 hurling + 7 football. Kerry are 1 ahead with 37 football and 1 very important hurling all ireland ;)

The_Kew_Tour · 04-04-2022 11:29AM

What about all the u21s minors, intermediate, junior and ladies medals.

Kerry only play football too. Nothing else

sportsfan90 · 04-04-2022 11:52AM

Does anyone know when tickets for Munster championship games are going on general sale?

I had it in my head it was from tomorrow morning but can’t find anything online to confirm.

conveniently forgetting our u-21/20 and minor hurling and football AI's which gives us a grand total of 92..which no other county comes near. Add another 28 senior camogie titles...you'll find we are the greatest GAA county...FACT

Mac_Lad71 · 04-04-2022 01:39PM

We are not going to win an AI under this management. It's too easy to blame the full-back line or individual players when the amount of space in front of them is impossible to defend without adequate protection. We saw it in last years AI final. Against KK in the league SF it was Daire O Leary who got the blame, last Sat. night it was Cahalane's fault. Very unfair on these players when the problem originates further out the field.

Mark Coleman is not a centre-back, he's a midfielder/half forward..same goes for Tim O' Mahony. When these guys bomb forward from defense they leave gaping holes behind them that are too easy to exploit...every opposition manager knows it but our management continually ignore it.

Put Joyce in at centre back alongside Millerick and Downey with O'Mahony as the holding midfielder. That releases Fitzgibbon and Coleman to bomb forward. Harnedy and Hoggy at this stage are impact subs..start Kingston and use our best asset..pace.

We have the scoring power..but without a solid defensive plan we are continually outscored in big games.

I know its controversial and will never happen but I'd like Davy Fitz to be given the manager's role...he'd rock a few boats but he'd organise us defensively and fire up the young fellas.

The talent is there as our minors and u-20s have proven..they're not being utilised properly.

I'll be interested to see how this team get on. I would imagine a bit of a slaughter could be on the cards for Kerry.

KrustyUCC · 05-04-2022 11:11AM

Bloody hate ticketmaster

Get to top of the queue and it's still loading for about 10 mins

Then it kicks me out so have to start again

KrustyUCC · 05-04-2022 11:35AM

Now few thousand ahead of me and the queue won't budge

Exact same happened to my fiance

Very frustrating

sportsfan90 · 05-04-2022 11:36AM

I forgot how frustrating Ticketmaster can be!

KrustyUCC · 05-04-2022 11:42AM

The queue is paused while we rectify an issue. Thank you for your patience please bear with us

Lot of good that is when the issue kicked me out earlier before I could get tickets

Ticketmaster are a joke

sportsfan90 · 05-04-2022 01:14PM

Finally got through, but only Blackrock End available.

KrustyUCC · 05-04-2022 02:01PM

Yes not a stand ticket in sight

MisterAnarchy · 05-04-2022 02:09PM

Held back for the clubs and board.

There are some excellent seats available for the Clare Cork game in Semple stadium though, almost on the halfway line.

KrustyUCC · 05-04-2022 03:44PM

That's a lot of tickets held back so

MisterAnarchy · 05-04-2022 05:36PM

Two best followed teams in the country.

zetecescort · 05-04-2022 06:51PM

am I missing something or is there no mention of Cork v Tipp on ticketmaster?

ShamoBuc · 05-04-2022 07:47PM

Minors 1-12 v 0-06 up at ht v Kerry.

ShamoBuc · 05-04-2022 08:21PM

As expected, a fairly comprehensive victory for the minors in Tralee.

Kerry 0-11 v Cork 3-25

Straight Talker · 06-04-2022 12:07PM

According to Derek McGrath Waterford are the team to beat, and whoever beats them will win the all Ireland. Hmm i don't know about that. Limerick are still the team to beat for me, and if Cork get the tactics right and sort out the problems in defence, then we could have a say in things yet. The league is the league, but the championship is the championship! Perhaps going into the championship written off by all and sundry, won't be such a bad thing at all.
