Cork GAA Discussion Thread

chriss og had another serious day , the standard of cork intermediate football is of the charts , well in terms of players it produces

Team named for the Tipp game

Micheál Mullins and Robbie Cotter get their first starts. Looking forward to seeing Mullins as he was excellent for the U20s. Robbie O’Flynn and Jack O’Connor come into attack which amused me as someone said in other thread we were light in forwards. We have an abundance of forwards who are all good. Robbie was abroad and Jack was doing well with Sars club campaign. Darragh O’Sullivan, Diarmuid Healy, Jack Cahalane and Daniel Hogan should all come on at some stage for league debuts and Cahalane is new also as he switched from the footballers.

Looking forward to a good game live on RTE 2!

Just saw the footballers game v Monaghan game has been moved to Saturday in Inniskeen at 2.30 pm

Jack hasn't ever done it for Cork consistently so we'll see how he gets on v Tipp. Looking forward to seeing Mullins and Cotter.

The Cork Camogie game v Waterford is on youtube right now. Its our first match in the league

Cork 1-02 Waterford 0-02 as I type after 12 mins. Ciara O'Sullivans goal the difference so far

Waterford played better in the second half but Cork looked like they dropped a few gears to see the game out. Noticeable that Waterford dropped so many shots short throughout the game.

It finished Cork 2-10 Waterford 0-7

I was hopeful that we'd be competitive but that was the first real reality check of the year! I think it's Roscommon up next so hopefully we put on a better show there.

Personally myself i think if we made it as far as the last eight of the championship we'd be doing well. In terms of competing with the elite teams we're probably still a fair bit off the pace sadly.

Collins with a man covering decides to rush the shooter - he's still not a top tier IC keeper

to be fair liam Gordan is one of the most inconsistent referees in the country he drives everyone mad he's the very same as james owens from wexford

since the referees were told by croke park to let the game go as much as possible it has struck up a huge debate between supporters that believe if its a foul its a free, or people like me who think there are so many rules in the rule book that if a referee was to call them all the game would be like american football

i have said it before and say it again , i can totally understand cork supporters frustration after last years all ireland final , even though i am one who believes the game should be let go as much as possible but there is a lot of technical fouls that still need to be called like extra steps and jersey pulls , to be fair gordon was all over the steps tonight but let loads of jersey pulls and push's into the backs of player go

from the game itself , its the league i wouldn't worry , jack o connor and bryan hayes were quiet ,and i think it was millerick that was on mccarthy in the first half was poor , the worry tonight is if eoin downey is out for a long period come championship is there a replacement

i taught young michael mullins looked the part tonight , a bit green defending but great going forward and attacking the play

Would many Cork fans have stayed in Thurles town overnight?

Condolences to Pat Ryan, his family and all in Sarsfields

That's very sad. I hadn't realised he was sick. 43 is no age
