And we're not afraid of going down to the Pairc, as far as I can remember, we beat ye the last 2 times we played ye (bar the strike year, if ye couldn't beat a sub Limerick team, there'd be no hope for ye ). The players/management don't care where the game is on, their preparations will be the same. It's purely a supporter thing.

Not sure what we can do about it although I would think a firm and straightforward line from the CCB needs to be made. The Munster Final will be held in PuC - full stop. No need for debate Munster Council - thank you very much. We probably need to become more media savvy overall as well. Not that in principal I like that approach but in reality we have to or else we will be under constant attack as a tactic in run ups to games from opposing teams. I have to say though that it is such a good feeling to be in the Munster final again this year. The team is much more competitive and has a steeliness that has not been there for quite a while. The work done by JBM has been immense and he has stuck to his hurling principles. Focusing in on 1 player in particular, Cahalane, it seems he is improving with every game. I think a lot of that is down to the faith and encourage that JBM has given to him and that has helped his confidence no end. In saying that though they have not lost their traditional virtues which are fair play, high skills levels and moving the ball fast into space where our fast forwards can use their strengths to win ball and score. The hurling team would make you proud to be from Cork and they are a great example to all on what hard work, sticking to your principles and honouring a famous jersey is all about.

There's no conspiracy against Cork - had any other hurler in Ireland been doing what Nash was, then it would have been investigated - I've no doubt about that Regarding the Munster Final - at the end of the day, the GAA loves money and if there's demand to have the final in a bigger stadium then they'll look into it - from a business POV it'd be a mistake not to at least entertain it. They're not doing it to do over Cork, it's absolutely for their own benifit imo

It looks like they entered a home and neutral arrangement with us. Nice one, that !!! All the bother I had putting my hub caps in the boot last year and now they're reneging on the deal. They'll be complaining about the roadworks in Doneraile next. Tipp wouldn't come down for the league semi - We'll have some job getting them slippery operators to come to Cork when we'll have our new stadium. The Clare Chairman has piled in behind Davy and has slated James McGrath however, at the end of the statement, he tells us that he's 'not pointing the finger at anyone' Jaysus, poor old James McGrath will be relieved to hear the last bit. Ther're some men up there for double speak. I'm thinking that the Clare Lads would want to learn how to take their bating - but I won't say it, so I wont.

Noises are being made that Pairc Ui Chaoimh only has a capacity of 34,000 when in fact its capacity is 40,500. They are looking for a switch to Thurles. It just seems to be 1 thing after another really. I would expect that the CCB insist that the agreement with Limerick is honoured. We deserve a home match after 3 trips to Semple.

Fair play to all the cork players and management they stepped up and still have more in them to give I think. A well balanced side with a good bench.
