Cork GAA Discussion Thread

It's just we knew Limerick would be up for this game and it's up to management to make sure Cork were up for it. I wouldn't mind losing in the manner like 2023 when we died with our boots on but today we were pathetic all over the field let's call a spade a spade here.

I'm just hoping that was our one really bad performance of the championship out of the way!

Frank may be gone but the old divide is still there it seems sadly.

Incredibly defeatist post. You don’t send out what very nearly is your best 15 in that heat today to get annihilated with a fúcking eye on the Waterford match.

Sport just doesn’t work that way. Any life/momentum has been completely sucked out of the team and their followers.

We beat them last year in Munster and topped it off in the Semi. I can't see how we've moved forward today from that.

This defeat along with the Clare collapse suggests to me that we aren't as good as we think we are. We are bang average with a terrible defence. Limerick schooled is this time around and they will do it to us again I'm afraid. How can we bridge a 16 point hammering in the next fixture provided we beat Waterford?

Well it's a long way to go to bridge a fifteen or sixteen point gap between these teams the next day! Beat Waterford and it will be Limerick again in the Munster final. We wouldn't be due to play them again until the all Ireland final if we got that far. Todays events will either drive this team on to prove a point this year, or it's going to crush them and we'll be put out of our misery by Limerick again or someone else.

I just hope we won't end up ruing not failing the seal the deal against Clare last year. I do think Limerick were bit of a tired team last year and we failed to take advantage of it. Now the monster has reawakened again!

Frank Murphy is to Cork GAA what John Delaney was to Irish football

Another 25 years before we be debt free. Yay.

I would haphazard a guess that the Cork backroom team would not be as large as Limerick's. John Kiely's backroom team is well stocked with all these fitness experts and nutritionists and such like. I've indeed been wondering myself why the likes of Will Buckley, Ben Cunningham and Michael Mullins haven't gotten more of a chance at senior level with Cork by now.

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.

It was disappointing for sure but one more win and we will have got what we wanted out of the provincial campaign and that is a passage through to the next stage.

So i actually think we can comeback and are still very much alive in this championship. If we do see Limerick again the challenge is there to prove that yesterday was an off day.

I thought we were gone myself after the first two championship games last year and things turned around for us. The same can also happen here if this team is good enough.

I agree, don't want to sound negative but if we beat Waterford next week and thats if, how do we bring back a 16 point hammering deficit against Limerick. Is it that we were so bad yesterday that there are plenty of areas to improve on or are Limerick just that good that we couldn't beat them no matter what?

We will be given no chance against Limerick again in Gaelic grounds if we win at weekend. Cork players need to be told a few harsh realities that they are soft, cant hurl, are bottlers to the highest degree when it really matters , and Pat Ryan is poor manager when it matters most . That needs to get into the media too and needs to be said by someone in the media outside of Cork. Let it sting because Cork management or the players don't seem to think it. That won't change now unless we come back and beat Limerick and win All Ireland.

Where the feck is Dalo now, will he go and hype Limerick up to the last like he did with Cork? Bet you he won't the stupid man that he is.
