Cork GAA Discussion Thread

and that's the problem, letting tv dictate throw in times. hate this recent idea of every game needs to be shown live instead of fixing games so people can attend. Regardless of the round, the main hurling competition shouldn't play 2nd fiddle to the secondary football competition. Shouldn't be worrying about going on at the same time as other sports either, especially if there is no Irish involvement.

You are spot on. Two goals at the end were given away far too easily. And we must remember while Offaly are making big strides this year they were in the Joe McDonagh and should be well below our level no disrespect to them.

If we switch off like that against Dublin it's curtains for us I feel. I think they will learn and address those issues but very worried if we beat Dublin what the other remaining teams could do to the Cork backline.

Cork got the most favourable draw in the football, Louth away next week in the preliminary quarter final.

For sure - but then Louth are probably thinking the same… We've had a couple of very close games over the last few years so neither side will fear the other.

That match was going through the motions stuff. Tipp conceded 3 18 last year to offaly at a similar stage. I think players will be much more switched on next weekend. Yes defensively we do concede a lot alright and will need to be much tighter v Limerick if get there.

Banking on just outscoring the opposition while neglecting the defence is not the right way to go about things. Newcastle United under Kevin Keegan springs to mind here.

1:15 in Thurles is bonkers. The trains are booked out up until 2pm since last week meaning some people are badly caught now.

A joke of a time for the Cork Dublin hurling game!! How insulting that all Cork matches bar one were on the money spinning gaago and now this!! They really seem to have it out for Cork!!

Nevertheless it won't bother us!! Cork will prevail

Tailteann cup players are just as entitled as anyone else to be on TV.

Just that your comment came across as Tailteann cup don't matter. If Cork were in it you might think differently. We came very near it last year. Sure 1.15 is a crazy time but no reason it should go to Tailteann cup over hurling.

1 change for Saturday, Harnedy in for Lehane

Sad to see him go - awfully nice man.

He is but hard to see what good came of the 5 year plan, underage results gone backwards if anything

Putrid opening 15, launching aimless long ball and wide open at the back
