Cork GAA Discussion Thread

So much for Donal Og's thought last night that "there's a process that we must go through". Sounds like that was arranged long before Kingston was let go.

Best of luck to Pat! There's some nice talent coming through as well, it will be interesting to see what 3 years will bring.

I see Diarmuid Sullivan has been having a moan about the media criticising the Cork management. What a complete and utter hypocrite, he was constantly slagging off the Cork selectors and manager when he was not involved in the Cork set up. If you give it you must take it.

I got the feeling O Sullivan was having a go at Anthony Nash.

Perhaps he is a bit moody with Landers jibe about some Cork player who was on the periphary of the county team few years back and who sat beside O Sullivan in the changing room after training one day and said 'you've the strength of a working horse, the speed of a race horse and the brains of a rocking horse' to the Rock.

I’d say Landers would give him plenty of it ..

Does he still love a wristband?

Pity the Ladies got beaten.

Was just watching the Tailteann Cup Final and congrats to Westmeath. Was looking up why they are called the Lake County and was on Wikipedia here.

One of Corks nicknames is the "The Donkey Aters (Eaters)"

It says "Applied in particular to the vicinity of Skibbereen in West Cork, where people resorted to eating donkeys during the Great Famine"

Never heard of that one before! Learn something new every day!

Seriously Pat Mulcahy and Sully need to get down off their soap boxes. In a hurling mad county like Cork there will be scrutiny, pressure, and a reasonable amount of expectation. Criticism is fine as long as it's sporting/performance related not personal. As Sean Ó Faolain said Cork is no place for sensitive folk. To succeed there, you have to have the skin of a rhinoceros, the dissimulation of a crocodile, the quality of a hare, the speed of a hawk. Otherwise, the word for every Corkman is to get out and get out quick.
