Cork GAA Discussion Thread

”It’s only the league” cute hoors are the worst.

Brolly was a football analyst. Why would anyone take seriously what he has to say about hurling. His views are no more special that mine or yours.

You get your 5 or 6 matches, you give players minutes. You don’t figure out anything tactically about other teams.

It means absolutely nothing.

Never heard of Dan Casey. Social media ?? Are you serious? If someone posting crap in Social media bothers you, then you really should go for an assessment. Social media is generally a cesspool. I understand teenagers getting worked up about things on social media. But adults should know better. Again, I go back to attention seeking. You have thousands of people recording themselves giving views of various things and posting them on the net for other people to view. It's just self-indulgence. It means nothing. If it gets to you, then more the fool to you. Like I said, I am only going on what I experienced in the real world. Where people actually meet real people and talk to them one to one. I was saying that the Cork people that I meet at GAA matches have been fab. Great banter and humble in defeat on Sunday.

My face wouldn't fit.

Sure no wonder the bould Dan is a little bit rude with the shite some people say about us.😉 If he bothers you that much then why not just stop listening to him, or send in an email to Red FM or something?🤣 Or just post some examples of what he's said then and let the rest of us decide?

I think some Cork supporters are still a bit deluded about this Cork team even after Sunday. I would consider them 'flat track bullies' - they look and are great when things are going their way and they can look devastating against weaker opposition but they haven't had to dog out a win when up against it. Way too much was made of their Munster final display - we (Limerick) were error strewn that day/evening/night and while Cork did take the cup home, that game did end in a draw AET. While Cork's 2nd half performance was unbelievable on Sunday, Limerick's display against Dublin was as bad but because it was a tight game, the media (and John Kiely) was all over this great Dublin display with no honest appraisal of how poorly Limerick played. It didn't take a genius to predict that Cork would cruise past Dublin and being the flat track bullies that they are, they looked great as they humiliated them but that is what Limerick should have done to Dublin too. Cork's win against Tipp in the Munster championship was a non-event so I'm afraid there were many questions still unanswered about them. Unfortunately, Limerick could be as deluded as Cork if we don't look at ourselves honestly and make some tough decisions around how our teams are prepared for next year's championship because if we keep doing the same thing, either of us could be one of the teams not getting out of Munster (sorry Waterford, I'm putting you down as definitely not getting out in 2026 either).

I don't listen to any of those things. But if I did, and if I didn't like what I was hearing, then I would switch it off. I wouldn't get emotional about these things. Just because I thought that one dlckhead existed in a population of approx 600,000 wouldn't make biased against that team. Every county has people that may be good or bad or obnoxious or kind or rude or quiet or noisy or attention seeking or mild or jealous or angry etc.

I think a lot of people were up for tipperary on Sunday because they were the underdogs. If Cork were playing Kilkenny or Limerick, and if Kilkenny or Limerick were hot favourites, then I would be shouting for Cork.

Anyway, like I said, I am just going on my experiences of meeting Cork people at matches. They have always been a pleasure to be beside. I don't take any notice what goes on on Social Media platforms. I am just basing these comments on people that actually attend the matches.

Clare this year (assuming you’re referring to them) did not give a rats arse about going down.

Alot of rumors floating around of a bust up in the hotel and the same few players clashing once again after something picked up wrong in the dressing room at half time - Won't name them as for now only rumours, Wonder is there any truth in it as something definitely happened at half time...

Well Hoggie and the Downeys didn’t stay for the meal

Those type of stories always come out after a heavy final defeat, when people are searching for answers and someone to blame.

Better off to just ignore rumours until emotions have cooled a bit - although, that could take a while.

They were 6 up at HT though, what would prompt a falling out at that stage

Something seems to have happened alright. Players all split up and came back in different groups at different times.

I was in the burlington night before and the atmosphere seemed odd to me. Saw a few players, like 3 heading down the road, heads down didn't want to be acknowledged and that. I think rumours of a bust up are quite possible and would explain the mighty collapse. The truth should come out, if only to examine this issue so it doesn't happen again next season! The whole country is talking about Corks collapse
