Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Thanks both.

See already a club draw has raised few eyebrows. Just the "luck" of the draw I guess.

Ya. Was it live a wonder? If not ya would have ask serious questions

Fair play. Yeah even outside of a supporting county I was delighted for Joe Canning that he got his medal in 2017. I was happy for Colm Cooper got his All Ireland club medal in football. All great players. Not biased but it would be a right shame if the four players you mentioned from Cork didn't walk away from their careers without a celtic cross to the name. At least some of Tipps great players have celtic crosses to their name.

I'll probably be saying different if ye win 3 or 4 ina Row though🤣

U23 camogie, Cork 0-5 Galway 1-5 HT

yerra ye wont really… i dont know is it the shorter season or the split season.. but when a team wins an all-ireland now its nearly forgotten about a week later… i think it was paul geaney saying when kerry won in 2014.. it was his first.. he said the reality of the few days after was alot different to what he thought it would be… they arrived in tralee monday night killarney and by wednesday or thursday people are back to work and the world just carries on as if it never happened…. definitely see it the last few years.. games coming thick and fast.. all of a sudden the final is here... its played.. cup handed over.. chat about game for a day after.. everyone then goes back to their own lives as it were and the world moves on..

thats the way it appears to me anyways… would like to see Cork win as id like to see Horgan Harnedy but especially Lehane get something for their efforts.. was actually delighted for lehane to see him burying that pen in munster final..

but unfortunately sport doesnt work that way… im old enough to remember 1999… kilkenny arrived into that all-ire final raging favs… they were beaten in all-ire final year before by a brian whelehan inspired offaly.. in 1999 a very young Cork team came with a late surge and pipped them.. so anything can happen

The Fervour building up in tipp,flags bunting etc is building up on a par with when we denied Kilkenny the drive for 5.

I was posting on this thread and others before you were even registered here,so might be best for you to relax yourself.

...

Save buying the Tipp flags and banners for after the game @realdanbreen. Sure they'll be selling them for half the price.🤣

Are you referring to Cork? If you are just let you know Cork are 2nd in the Roll of Honour of All Irelands won and still ahead of Tipp despite our last All Ireland of 2005. Mayo have lost 11 finals since 1989 and last won one in 1951. Not exactly on par with Mayo there lad.

Well you couldn't call 2021 a bottle job. We met one of the greatest teams of all time at the peak of their powers that day. In 2006 well that was an ambush, Kilkenny had their homework done and were more than ready for us that day!

In 2013 the first day Clare were probably the better team on the day, but still though we were unlucky not to snatch the win all the same! As for last year well to be honest with you i thought Clare benefitted from more of the 50/50 calls on the day, and we were very unlucky not to be awarded that free to bring it to a replay right at the end.

We've seen more all Ireland final defeats in both mens senior codes than we have victories since 1990 unfortunately, but if this Cork team plays for 70 plus minutes and we cut out the lapses in concentration which we are prone to at times, then with a bit of luck we'll get over the line here.

Obviously Hoggie and Seamus Harnedy have been our two marquee forwards over the last decade and a bit, but i'm looking for the likes of Alan Connolly, Brian Hayes, Shane Barrett and Declan Dalton etc to really step up to the plate, and show that they're the lads now ready to carry this team for the next couple of years as such.

If that Cork forward line ignites and has a big game it could be a long afternoon for Tipp. Anyway i just need to say something about how i miss how things were here. Speaking as someone who still thinks that all Ireland finals should be in September, moving them to August would be fine and a lot better than having them in July.

It's terrible to have both senior championships done and dusted before August! I also miss having the minor final as the curtain raiser for the senior match, and to be honest i never thought i'd say this but i actually miss Ger Canning's commentary. I just think Marty Morrissey is a terrible announcer. He does my head in actually!
