Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Only just in door from game. These umpires and how they miss these crucial calls. Like you could see net bulge from other side of field.

Lots be positive though for Cork. Thought we were better team bar awful wides and few bad decisions at crucial times I thought lot of lads look promising.

Hate blaming officials but some tne decisions were comical.

Some tasty hurlers in that Cork side so something to look forward to

Was at the game as well, I'm going to stop going to Cork v Tipp U20 finals on the Ennis road, we lost the last one as well!

No complaints, Tipp sharper, first to the ball, took their chances, very handy back 6… and a cracking point to win it.

BOC should have acted sooner on the subs, he has a big panel and some players were just having an off day. Umpires way off the level, we saw the bulge in the net from the stand ffs, the keeper (?) then sitting on the sliothar. A prior point waved wide but the same left side umpire nodding that it was in. Some very soft frees but Tipp players knew what they were doing, later on they got away with it hauling the Cork forward down. Way bigger Tipp support at the match, not sure if that contributed? Just a bad day at the office but well done to Tipp and it was a good game in the end. Fingers crossed we get the results elsewhere on Sunday!

Thought Tipp got a lot of frees that they were clever in playing for especially on high challenges, but were still fouls or silly fouls from Cork e.g. the blatant push in the back on a puck out at a crucial time.

I think Tipp tackled better more so than the ref being wrong on free calls.

We were very lucky. Had it gone to ET Id have had Cork at 1/10 to win it.

You seem to be the one nitpicking to be fair and coming across as a bit of a sour loser. Cork goal should have stood and that's a fair point but Cork also hit 16 wides which had nothing to do with the ref. Can't blame the ref for Cork hitting 16 wides. I thought Tipp were the better team marginally on the night but Cork will be back again.

A really good point on the support. Tipp had more which I was bit surprised with considering performance of senior team and how Tipp fans got bit of slating for turnout last week.

You made good points about Tipp and how they deserved it but I think myself Cork have more players from two sides that could be ready take next step. Tipp got lot luck. But listen every team needs that and best of luck to them in final. Tipp are always dangerous in final.

Its actually hard call that final as i think offaly are better than last year plus they have learned from it you would feel too. Not mention Tipp robbing them in minors couple years ago with last minute goal and im sure few from both sides were on that.

6 down with 10 min left. Playing better in the 2nd half but not getting the scores. Wexford well deserve their lead

No complaints at all there unlike last night! Wexford superior.

Management should have reacted quicker in the first half when we couldn't get past midfield. Fixed it in second half and game more even but when you are far behind at this level, its too hard to come back.

From my experience of standing at goals post , your eyes can be drawn towards the incoming attackers

Tipp certainly more composed.. they were always able to get a score when required... Cork were playing with more intensity... will b disappointed with tipp goal.. wides were a shame... some fine players on that Cork team..

AAt Least this might quieten the talk of having Ben Connor as senior manager... Ben reminds me of Liam cahill on the sideline... that approach may work at underage... but as Liam is finding out now it doesn't work at senior
