Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Crazy having a Kerry man referee Cork in a final. Saying that Cork ran down their own clock with the messing looking for a 2 point effort.

Can anyone explain why Cork didnt get the ball advanced 50m on the last free? First Meath man fouled and 2nd petformed a hand trip to delay a quick free. Isnt that the kind of cynical play the rule was invented for?

We have the forwards to do the damage against any team, but kickouts and winning the ball at midfield seems to be an issue. It would be brilliant to win either win a Munster title, or get as far as the last four or even do both of those things if possible. We haven't won a provisional title nor got as far as the semi final stage since 2012 after all.

Now i'm not going to blame it all on the referee. Meath were the better team on the day and fair play to them, but Kerry men really should not be refereeing games that involve Cork playing in them especially when it's a national final in particular!

As for the hurling Cork and Limerick are probably the two biggest fanbases in hurling and the league final really should've been a standalone fixture, instead of having the 1B final between Clare and Dublin as the curtain raiser. Like ourselves in the football Dublin in hurling draw much smaller crowds than what they get in the football.

Cork can't win as regards today's game really. If they win it the reaction will be "The Cork boys have the All-Ireland won in April again". If they lose; "The Cork boys have bottled it in a final again".

This isn’t a good start from cork.

Haunted to only be down only 3 points at HT. Nowhere near the intensity Limerick were bringing for most of the half. Getting cleaned out in the middle third. Games still there if we wake up.
