Cork GAA Discussion Thread

No surprise Kerry beat Cork yet again in a different grade.

The years from 1987 to 1995 when we ruled Munster with an iron fist really were an anomaly sadly. We only had a return of two all Irelands to show for it though, although we were robbed in 1988 against Meath and we were unlucky against Derry in 1993 as well. That was Derrys one and only senior all Ireland in their history though so i couldn't begrudge them it too much.

Yes

Footballers having a mare against Meath.

The footballers making life hard for themselves as per usual! We have no choice but to beat Kerry to get out of the group now, and it would be foolish in the extreme to take Roscommon for granted as well.

One step forward and two steps back yet again with Cork football

I'm calling it as it is now, bias or no bias but Cleary needs to be shafted now, not good enough too nice and doesn't have it. He's got his term needs to be moved on now. Cork football is a mess in every grade. They are so Frustrating to watch.

Hmm Cork football has lost a lot of potential players from underage to hurling. Are the county board doing enough to improve our structures in regards to developing and producing players of senior intercounty standard? Do they even care enough or are the county board only focusing their attention on the hurling?

Something radically wrong with Cork Football!! How long have we been saying that?? Since Colin Corkery was the only one who could score a point 30 years ago!! Yep 30 years!!

Where is their passion?? They are shameful tbh and devoid of what Cork hurling can do. Even when the hurlers lose they leave nothing behind them!!

As bad as the footballers can be at times the most recent Cork senior all Ireland win was in football! I fully expect the hurlers to be breathing fire against Waterford tomorrow.

Bit nervous about tomorrow.

If we play to our A game then we will win but ya worry about the mindset after last week.

Plus Waterford have nothing to lose.

I was thinking the same thing today when I was following the scores online. Awful shooting seems to be our trademark. Same as the minor game against Kerry where the Cork Minor manager said this after all the awful shots against Kerry

“We probably missed more this evening than we ever did so far this year. As regards being cross with them, that wouldn’t even enter my head. I love meeting them and looking forward to the next training session.”

When I read ihis today I wanted him replaced! He dosn't seem too bothered that we missed loads. I'm not saying to go mental with young fellas but that shooting is no where near the standard required and they should be made to know this.

I see Steven Sherlock got 4 two pointers for his club today but wasn't he a fella who said forget it when he wasn't being given game time? I know it was just club but still.

I'm looking forward to tomorrows game though and I expect us to be on fire from the off. I hope we perform straight away and get the win. There should be no chance of an ambush or upset. We should be ready as they have nothing to lose alright. Its a game to put everything right after last week and we should be taking our scores and keeping them at arms length. If we stutter and fail to get going then it will be a long day as Waterford are able to take afvantage definitely. But if we perform and get into our stride then we could pull away in the second half. I think this will happen but we need to make it happen. The home advantage is crucial as if you cannot get going with a packed house behind you then you deserve to be knocked out!!
