All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

That's really disappointing if true. I'm not sure which cork player it was who was interviews beside the rte panel after the Munster championship win but he talked about how much closer the group had gotten in the last 3 years. I remember thinking at the time that was a really positive thing to hear for this cork squad.

Talent will get you so far but often it's the team that's willing to stick together and fight to the bitter end that will get the win.

I hope for Pat Ryans sake these are just baseless rumours to explain away a bad performance as he strikes me as a man with genuine integrity and a love for cork hurling.

Two things from last Sunday. The stats for Cork's poor showing in the second half don't give Liam Cahill and his team the credit they deserved for an outstanding second half. I was there and so thrilled as a Tipp man, for much of the second half we were waiting for Cork to come back, but they never did. Tipps second half was a total Cahill team, savage work rate with a total focus on the goal.

The single most damning thing of Cork I thought was Seamie Harnedy probably won more ball than all the other Cork forwards put together. That's a shameful indictment of them.

Watched back the 2nd half few nights ago and while cork were bad, they also had no luck. 3 points attempts hit the post and a goal attempt hit the crossbar.

Tipp players actually look like they have done a lot of gym work. Bulked up a lot. They broke through a lot of Cork tackles. On the other hand Cork defending wasn't as ferocious as where it needed to be. Odd because in the Munster final they were willing to go through a brick wall.

Came out of Croke Park in 2024 singing "fuk your 5 in a row", Came down to Limerick this year singing the same. Ya Ya I know all the stuff about good fans (the majority in every county) but the bandwagon, the hype and the goading from Cork fans went way beyond anything I have ever seen from a team that won no All Irelands. Cork of old and Kilkenny used give us a little tease but they earned it. Total arrogance and no matter what posters claim it was coming from Cork people and we all saw it.

There is a very valid reason why the whole countrywas happy to see Cork "nick nack Paddy wack give the dog a bone, and fuking off home"

No supposed about the cockiness.

Ya I'm are so bitter when I look at Will O'Donoghue's medal haul and realise he will never have the "stop the 5" medal that Hoggie has 🤣

Ya your right. Them arrogant Cork leopards hadn't changed they were only hiding.

You often get everyone cheering against a successful team but Cork need to ask themselves why everyone was delighted to see a team that won no All Irelands lose. Pretend away that it wasn't yere arrogance if it keeps ye warm through the winter.

In my experience most Limerick fans were cheering for ye last year including me so believe away about the bitterness if it makes you feel better but it's not true.

It was only this year people turned on Cork. That is with the exception of Ryan who seems to be very well liked as you say.

I know I'veseen some bad sht from. Every team has its mostly good and bit of bad. I wouldn't be accusing Cork of having a rougher crowd or anything like that.

And you gloat about that and say Cork fans are arrogant. How ironic.

It's not ironic at all. My whole point was gloating before you actually won so nothing like gloating when you have won loads. I also said I had no issue with Cork or anyone else gloating when they were successful.

Win 1 on a row before you start singing about stopping the 5 or whatever. If you don't people will laugh at you for getting hyped up which is exactly where Cork are. Ye are the English soccer team of hurling now.

Il just remind you now that hurling didn't start in 2018. Ye were 45 years trying to win yer first All Ireland in 2018. Since ye crossed the line ye have become an unbearable bunch and the minute a team like Cork beat yous a few times you can't take it and then take pleasure in Clare and Tipp beating us. How sad are you.

We were all shouting for Limerick in 2018 as they had gone over 40 years without an All Ireland. All fans have their share of a-holes but doesnt mean all of us are.

Something happened at half time but nobody knows exactly.

You exactly didn't cover yourself in glory either with Limerick fans and your gloating so it works both ways I guess.
