Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Really good game I watched today between Midleton and Newtownahandrum , Tim o Mahoney should be corks new free taker he is unbelievable from long range, his last point was from the sideline about 75 yards out

Midleton must be one of the favourites to at least make the final this year , the draw went against them last year and had to play imokilly in the semis

If they had the other side of the draw they could be Munster champions now, the have some talent in that group though, Cormac Beausang might lack intercounty pace but is brilliant at this level Alex qurke in midfield, Paul Connaughton are quality players and not to mention Lehane , they will be there abouts at the end of the year

The other game I watched was Charleville v newcestown , charleville should be nowhere near a relegation playoff with the weapons they have especially the o Flynn's and fitsgibbon

Newcestown looking ominous with what looks like a toothless forward line bar Richard O'Sullivan and Colm dineen

Tim did nothing from open play

The CCB just couldn't give a shite about football. That much is blatantly obvious at this stage. Of course whether the players are there or not is another thing entirely, but another couple of years worth of mediocrity awaits us sadly. With this reappointment failure and mediocrity has been duly rewarded.

Let's just call a spade a spade here the county board is still a joke shop and a shambles. Tactically we're behind the curve in both mens senior codes.

Pat Ryan and the rest of his management team don't have a plan B for when plan A fails and they are unable to make the correct changes in time when a game is going against us. A lot of those players have lost three all Ireland finals in the last four years now, and two of them were lost in a very dismal manner.

We aren't entitled to success just because we won a lot of all Irelands in the past. They have to be earned. We just haven't been producing the high performance environment required to win all Irelands in hurling since 2005 and likewise since 2010 in the football.

was there any update on Pat Ryan??

Cork GAA is goosed for at least 10 years, we are winning nothing in either code going forward if the same appointments are made in both football and hurling. We are a laughing stock.

to be fair i wasnt having a go at corks mentality as such , its just the hype both nationally and within the county in my opinion was too much on the day , and if you ever needed your sports phycologist more , it was from 5pm saturday evening when the team bus hit dublin to 1pm the next day before that bus leaves for croke park

gary keagen was on tour with the lions in australia and communicating to the team through video messages, when they needed him most he wasn't there

clare were all fire in 1995 but if they had lost that day they would have been heros in the county like the football team getting to the semi final 3 years beforehand as it was uncharted lad at the time for us , this was different though on cork , i never seen anything like it ,it was too much pressure for an amature team to take on

Again in the womens game, anoher very poor referee. Saoirse McCarthy being fouled every time she gets the ball but nothing given. Cahalane was taken out completely at one point and nothing given. A blatant push in the back on our goalkeeper and Galway get a point when they should really had a goal. Cork being frustrated by the fouls and then Looney lashes out and down to 14 now. In fairness Galway are playing well though. The penalty was hit very poorly.

Now it will be incredibly hard to turn this around.

Some flop from the Galway player to ensure the red!

Rules seem to have been ignored especially last few mins ,daft red card though.
