Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Dalton was carrying a knock before the game - I heard early today he wasn’t supposed to be playing and was shocked to see him

That's a shame if true. He seemed to Pat Ryan's natural heir apparent for the job.

Same as you I'm disappinted.

I hope he re thinks it. Would not totally rule it out but I think he has beef with few in county board too which is another negative.

Oh and the likes of Ben Cunnigham and Michael Mullins should've got more game time with Cork by now. We also shouldn't be starting players if they aren't match fit. Hoggie had on off day as well but the great man is almost 40 years old now. We can't keep relying on him to bail us out of trouble. While Waterford are no Limerick that sort of performance today just won't cut the mustard next week at all.

I wouldn't think so there's a chance to put it right against Waterford, and the main thing is to just be in the top three when the game of musical chairs stops. As long as the mentality is right then Cork should beat Waterford, but if we do qualify from the group and are celebrating an all Ireland win in July then today will have been long forgotten about.

That was our first really bad championship defeat under Pat Ryan generally his Cork teams play with a lot of fire and spirit. I still think tactics are an issue, and that the management team lacks a Paul Kinnerk type of figure in the background. Pat took us to within a whisker of an all Ireland win last year, but if it wasn't for Waterford fluffing their lines against Tipp then we most likely wouldn't have even got out of Munster.

Sport is all about hunger, who wants it more!!

Limericks hurt from last year ran very deep!! Maybe more so than Cork realised! It's all about next week now and Cork v Waterford. Literally everything is now on the line

I don't agree, if you are good enough you will play and be better than the opposition. There was nothing there to say to suggest that we will beat Limerick if we play them again.

I hope Limerick folk don't take this the wrong way, but our county board are struggling to finance the intercounty teams and pay off the stadium debt. Limerick meanwhile have that endless supply of the JP money being pumped into them! It is what is is though unless some sort sort of financial benefactor for the GAA in Cork emerges from somewhere.

Cork is a huge GAA county - is there any financial GAA group in Cork County board tapping up big business. Interest in Cork has been sky high the past year. Cork have produced good underage teams recently - did 2 of 3 of the Rebel Treble in 21. Where are those minors and U20s now. Surely those elite players get as good treatment/coaching as Limerick and other top teams?

yeah its a strange one , and only mullins saw game time in the league , surprised cunningham and buckley were never used in the league ,

I can't believe i wasted valuable seconds reading that crap. On ignore you go.

straight talker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍

That's a red herring. Limerick's results over the last 10 years have been quite poor in all other grades. The senior team is just a once-per-century combination.
