Cork GAA Discussion Thread

1:45 next Saturday is some load of bollox in fairness

minor footballers struggling against Derry, down 0-7 to 0-2 after 5min of the 2nd half

disappointing from a Cork POV but Derry the much better team, well worth their lead of 0-10 to 0-3 after 45min

Will tickets be hard to get for the Cork game? Is online the best way to get the ?

1986 (the day Tom Cashman told the lord mayor of Galway to have a look at that.😁) 1990 and 2005 our all Ireland finals against Galway were very open games of hurling, with us of course thankfully coming out on top on all three occasions. We've never lost to Galway in a senior hurling all Ireland final, but they've beaten us on a few occasions outside of finals, since their first ever championship win over us in 1975.

The 1956 all Ireland football final, was the only time Galway beat us in a senior all Ireland final, and that Galway team had a Cork man in it by the name of Billy O'Neill. They've only won three senior all Irelands in both codes since 1988, and we've only four senior all Irelands in both codes since 1990. So for the largest and second largest counties in Ireland respectively, we both have been serial underachievers over the last 30 or so years.

Galway won't be losing to us by 11 but we actually could lose by 11 to Galway.

I'm going into next weeks game with the belief that Cork probably won't win but more hopeful they will win than expectation. A bit like Oulart the Ballagh in the club Leinster championship. They were so used of losing that eventually they surprised themselves in one final and actually won it. We have a poor record against Galway as of late. If they play like they can on a good day, we will be in serious trouble and I hate saying it. If we get past Galway we have Limerick so it doesn't get any easier. Are Cork good enough to win All Ireland? not a chance but I'd only love to see a 1990 type year return again where Cork were poor that year too but somehow managed to win the big prize.

The way Antrim troubled us yesterday is a major cause of concern going forward and I'm pretty sure we will be having this conversation in a week or two.

Our forwards don't believe in tackling at all. We just leave them up to the half way line every time.

2 bad misses now

Hurley is very off form today which means a hard day for us

This is terrible stuff from us so far

Scoring seems very poor by both sides

Ian maguire about 6-7yards off his man. Useless he is.

Both brilliant players with amazing ability, but how many times have both left Cork down on the big stage.?

A few phantom injuries thrown in along the way.!!
