Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Why was this scrapped?

Quarter finals generally don't sell out, I can see a good few not travelling and aiming for Dublin for the semis instead.

Winning Munster would've been nice but it's not the end of the world. The way i see it we were missing Darragh Fitz and they had the wind at their backs in that second half and still only beat us by a point.

Congrats to Limerick anyway but for us it's all about getting back to another all Ireland final and Offaly and then Galway stand in our way. Of course our record against Galway in the Championship in recent years is very poor, but sure if we slip up against either of these teams then we quite obviously are aren't good enough this year.

Beating Limerick three times in the one Championship campaign would've been a huge ask, but there's no guarantees that either a Cork an Offaly or a Galway will be playing them in the final.

The way i see it Clare have hardly done any hurling yet and they're still in the Championship, and they have players with all Ireland medals themselves. Still though we're most likely looking at a Cork and Limerick all Ireland final with Galway and Clare being the more underdog option final pairing as such.

Agreed I’m a bit surprised he went so hard on it. Time was 2 mins over when the free was taken - you have to take a shot first time there and if it doesnt make it then at least it falls in the mixer

There will be no all Ireland won until we start winning more puckouts in the opposition 65. This has been an issue for 15+ years in Cork hurling.

We still havent found someone like Niall McCarthy and Timmy McCarthy for that job.

Didn't hurt Tipp last year - they have had issues in that dept for 20 years

Look, if we can't beat Offaly and Galway we aren't good enough to win the AI anyway.

It seems people outside the county bounds have an issue with Ben O'Connor's personality, but then again the last manager we had Pat Ryan was an absolute gentleman and people still seemed to have it in for Cork regardless.

Personally myself i won't be complaining too much if he gets us over the line. Ger Loughnane and Brian Cody could be abrasive enough personalities at times as well, and yes i'm aware that Ben hasn't had the same success as a manager as those two yet.

Ben O Connor is going on like Davy Fitzgerald at this stage , it’s always the refs fault . Cork fans booing all the time is also turning off the neutrals big time , all counties have a few fools behind the goals but seeing middle aged men and women in the stands booing doesn’t happen with other counties in football or hurling , never happened in cork until recently. I loved watching Charlie McCarthy, Get Cunningham , John Fenton , Brian Corcoran, Joe Deane etc when there was none of that carry on .
Cork will beat Offaly handy but Galway could be tricky.

thats an absolutely absurd comparison

What post was that taking the piss out of tipp? The disrespect mostly from cork folk over last years All Ireland win is a big reason why tipp lads don't want to see cork win. Up to last year i would have had no problem with cork winning but the rewriting of history by many cork people of how crap Tipp are and how in gods name did they beat us, horgans comments about getting caught by tipp etc. Not 1 limerick pundit and not much on here by limerick lads either btw about tipp being poorest team to win all ireland or any crappy comments in general about last year. Kiely even said he knew tipp were onto something last year as they limerick hit all there metrics against tipp and still didnt beat us.

Don't recall any ex players saying they were caught after losing a game by 15 points to cork. Babs bit before my time tbf and is well off ignored, horgan and some cork pundits and cork posters here and on proc i am talking about. Not you in particular btw.

Again what limerick post was taking the piss out of tipp?

P.S we thoroughly enjoyed it last year. That's gone now though.
