Cork GAA Discussion Thread

We've won the league and now we've won Munster. Cork have done everything that's been asked of them so far to be fair.

i think they peaked for League and were all right in Munster first day out aside against Limerick. Do Cork know their best 15 don’t think so.. need more from FF line but think their bar to improve is much higher than Limericks.

I would prefer if Cork could play a weaker opposition in their 4 week break just to keep players match sharp. Tipp will be waiting to have a crack off us.

Die hard Cork fan here - can I just say having watched back on Sunday with a bit less spur of the moment bias, huge credit to the two teams, officials, stadium, crowd for all contributing to an absolute classic.

It was fantastic stuff, probably a few more errors on both sides than normal but so much of that was the pace/power/ferocity of the game. Evident in extra time with referee/Fitzgibbon/Coleman/whole limerick back 6 all being out on their feet. The effort put in by both teams I think can be summed up in two separate incidents.

Tommy O'Connell's hook on Cathal O'Neill & Aaron Gillane chasing Robbie O'Flynn in 1st half of extra time. In both situations it would not show up on video analysis that they should have made that effort - it was 100% pure desire to win a match, cannot coach that - desire to chase a lost cause…

Tipp will be ready for Cork and expect a furious tight game. It all depends on how Pat Ryan manages the 4 weeks off. I worry we will be a bit undercooked coming into that game with Tipp. Hopefully I'm wrong. Cant see Galway beating Tipp.

Tipp always have problems with galway. 2 years ago after galway losing the leinster final and tipp putting a cricket score on offaly galway beat Tipp in the gaelic grounds.

I think that will be a fiercely Contested match, galway seems to have a mental thing with kilkenny but tear into tipp. If they make a few positional and personnel switches plus actually play with a bit of abandon I'd give them every chance.

….

Hopefully, but if anything brings the best out of Galway, it's the sight of the Tipp jersey. Whatever happens we need to perform on the day unlike that really poor loss to them in 2023 in a dreadful game.

Hoping for a scuttery win today in an hour. Just get it done and no need to keep pushing, again like in 2023 where we put a bit too much energy into absolutely slaughtering Offaly.

Cork dominated the first half after gong a goal down straight away. Katie Quirke playing really well

Cork 2-6 Kerry 1-3

Twice now Katie Quirke has been fouled and the ref has given a free out. From us nearly getting back close now the gap is out to 5.

Really awful second half though from Cork

Cork 0-10 Roscommon 0-6 HT. Deserve to be ahead but as now seems normal, we have missed a couple of very good goal chance

Cork just about fell over the line. We won't be going any further but we will expect that.
