Paul haughney has absolutely no business on any cork panel in my view. I can't honestly see what management see in him at all. He is the personification of what cork do not need in a player. We've had too many like him and can't continue. There was one passage of play Thursday night which summed him up. Bill cooper (who was excellent throughout) in terrible conditions was fighting for a ball with 3 defenders around him, haughney had been introduced and literally stood off when he saw a ruck developing. I was standing right behind jbm and co and they went ape **** and told haughney as such that he should've helped cooper out. Now if this is a guy that's supposed to be trying to impress and fight for his place it was pitiful. His decision making when he did get the ball was poor and yes he does have good wrists but at this level I'm sorry no not good enough. For his sake I hope I'm proved wrong with him starting against UL but having watched him a good bit in fitzgibbon the last few years I'm not convinced. Other fringe players and new comers I were impressed by were Cormac Murphy, the odd bad mistake aside real stood out and tried hard and Spillane for ucc who does look a serious talent also.

Cork ladies football the utmost example imo and role model we must aspire to I would like to think as mine as it may seem be unpopular at times it constructive and just imo realism I don't belive in pessimistic or negative views I belive in reality. Cork won and didn't have change half forward At the start like as strongest half back line didn't start for Ul just mclirnery but Stapleton and quinn flanked him but not in same class as tom ryan or Dan morrisey. This game was well below intercounty standard bar few who had intercounty county opponents Some imo ruled them selves out going forward Walsh o connor and kelleher Could never start as unit against top team'sas no real scoring threat there too alike, the dynamic and balance of telepathic cohesion and team rhythm fluidation in symmetry of unity to work together imo is off balance as a unit all three are imo going for one position in half forward line panel as cian McCarthy and lawton are unjustified favourite with management imo. Maybe landers will change that Thry were dominated at times in the second half and kelleher and walsh had be replaced in the end imo Yes cork had big lead and tempo dropped but Ul changes made difference Walsh Cooper and harnedy lehane all automatic imo Out of Andy walsh and Frahill o connor and kelleher I'd go for o connor raw but best option imo Kelleher weak left side won't develop as hurling and football with club and cork under age etc and he's left side is weak needs full attention If went hurling alone yes maybe But I said earlier year john cronin should be on panel, outstanding with cit last year, outstanding again Club, cork intermediate he's a ball winner and can play midfield I'm told Davy Fitzgerald clare rates him highly and imo is possesion type player He's shooting can be erratic but he better scorer than Frahill or certainly walsh He's family real hurling people I think he's father does score boards at games all over the country He's better than walsh, cian, lawton etc yet they get games he's doesn't Good win but look colleagues don't care about these games and imo is there any point having them in it imo Only In the second half when they started bring on better changes cork were in real trouble and had to change things Cit won't beat cork next week and id be going far say jbm needs lay down law with Cooper walsh coughlan etc and say playing with cork as if not picked can't play wit cit in cork will need few them for either clare or tipp in a semi Cork can still have young team but no harm having them on bench as cork should try get final at least Cit are not going beat corl but walsh etc plays can't play for cork Cit playing challenges anyway so cork game won't affect them imo As play WExford tommorrow who play tippeeary tommorrow in challenge also So WExford while won't have strongeat team should have lot lads dont play and should still be challenging imo It's a tad selfish from cork yes but look we have huge game v Kilkenney coming up time to be ruthless You develop culture of attuide your ruthless from the start player will sense that and you build focus and consistency in intensity from the start Collins awesome in goal, intelligent but huge composure is going be one of the greatest I mean greatest cork goalies and lord sweet lord sweet lord we had them cusack nash. Paddy barry, martin Coleman senior, this lad is that good I have truly never seen anything so young like him Remember in my earlier post two year ago at under seventeen mallow said I saw star was born Unbelievable talent and I'm rarely wrong imo judging a player Patience and stay injury free he's destined for the top Will kearney be fair was. Very good really good but I's he better corner back than o Sullivan. O neill, mcdonnell. Burke, Stephen murphy, no he is not No need to be on the panel then Cork don't need corner backs He gets turned too easily and any fast corner forward would beat him Cahalane fine game solid and needs stay it Donughe I said isn't corner back No blame on him today but mclirnery had him in bother Conor sullivan tightened things up But o donughe definitely should play next week and is one for radar but he imo won't make panel just now but he will be in under twenty one hurling but dual code is a problem here imo Brian Sullivan was okay but forde turned him at times and like I said imo not senior Joyce had brilliant game at six and showed he's half back or nothing like I keep saying He trying to cover both sullivan and Glenn and he left he's man free who got lots scores but I don't blame Joyce he's little support Glenn o connor done well at the start but today imo showed he won't make it I was glad he got chance and has bit cut but mark Carmody who isn't actually forward but a back caused him huge difficulty So he'll meet better half natural forwards like bubbles Dwyer Midfield haughney had moments and got two points but him and Murray were we'll beaten overall imo hurling they as second half proved don't like a dog fight when In spell became that They in truth imo never had chance make it Andy walsh didn't impress. Trys no doubt absolutely all credit due O connor did but I's grafter must have scoring forwards with him Lawton be fair got two points points as a sub but again I think cork have better If he started would he done well is the question Mclirnery was well softened by time o connor went off Kelleher win high ball but I'd have under twenty one would not have on senior league this year O farell Showed ed great promise Moylan worked hard and nice scores but I expect more I'n tendency go missing He like luke need target man work off Dayne lee good debut when he played yesterday but he began to tire I said don't judge lad if he had bad game as be fair yesterday he played He deserves huge credit for he's display great scores and done well nice goal and imo not full forward Should start next week and imo should be with under twenty one team but I don't know if he forces him self in league panel and imo Spillane is ahead this moment in time and done all that was asked imo Id have him training yes but under twenty one I'd play him, senior bit early for him I had said three weeks ago he needed step up and show he had it cork player for Ag and be fair he was outstanding yesterday and he really stood up He's attuide has been brillant last few week and I hope he makes league panel but I still think cian mac, lawton this world are favourite with jbm no matter what they do I'n he's style players and wont be dropped and imo taking up two league places that likes lee etc have better potential while still young yes As for haughney I'm sorry now but it's fully justified the criticism given on other games . Blaming the weather are you kidding me. Weather is an excuse for touch and pace but NEVER EVER SHOULD IT AFFECT ATTUIDE as we're playing in ireland where weather is a lottery and I'm sorry but if he's just top ground hurling he's no business being near corl Elite Senior team How tall is riche hogan????? Haughney is actually bigger Does riche hogan blame weather for poor game Watch kilkenny v limerick this year, let's keep this realistic the weather today yes was bad but that was a monsoon day in august yet hogan was like a gorilla in the mist with he's attuide and want and hunger and desire and huge appetite to get stuck in and do unselfish work that the great great really great players do Now why do I mentioned hogan, simply as he will have face hogan sooner or later he plays with cork That's the level you aspire to He did not really get stuck in today be honest now imo. There's stuck in and there's stuck in imo He had good moment but kelly had much better game imo and kelly should suited him touch wise Against woodlock he be fine but against physically challenge players In mauls no in he lacks warrior instinct He is well able to shoulder or hit when he's one v one, as look last year league quater final v tipp far side line he flattened tipp lad sent in ball for harnedy goal However in a scrum or maul where's there four bodies clustered likes bees around honey and everything goes in that maul so to speak he simply as proven today standa back waits for the breaks Simply not good enough and he done this time and again Compare him to warriors of kearney, o shea there world's apart imo Kearney I remember being in the few that stood up him last year after tipp game is a warrior and hurler yet he's criticsed by some cork fans Look at he's club form this year and v kilmallock Yet haughney seen by some as options to replace him if needs be A bench must be strong in guy comes in nearly strong as lad taken off Haughney is fine in the cork club scence as it's well established that cork hurling at club as seen by this year all levels in munster there's a softness within as refeee is far far too soft It's not he's fault in he plays to the game rules are But if cork hurling is tougher imo I think he would struggle I don't there is a need for him as rickard cahalane and o shea,John Cronin are better options and if needed be I'd rather peter dowling Kilkenney He imo lacks pace but I'd have him any day over haughney Now he's Kilkenney would not bother me. There's imo better than dowling but dowling carries midelton midfield to a county It'd no wonder that jerry Wallis made him captain for this season Dowling is great role model off and on the hurling field as captain and quite an accomplished coach just unfortunately midelton CBS don't use him more in he's not coaching now imo Haughey won't come close to kearney He's fine as today was loose be honest in wasn't near rough and tumble bar occasion compares to senior elite intercounty and the other ul midfielder is not with respect senior intercounty He's like lawton and cian mac in there jbm hurlers in jbm loves fast direct free style hurling but look that style won't won cork all ireland To be fair cian mac he has it all bar mobility otherwise he's fine. He has toughness witness as a hurler To beat Kilkenney and clare you can't be physically stronger with no hurling or have hurling but lack warriors inside in there's no half measures you must have it all to beat them Limerick And tipperary are classic example Last year physically strong but still lacking Tippeeary proved have hurling in spaces but lack warriors of limerick I agree rebelmaor with other points though If you combined limerick and tipp it be unbeatable team you have There's a sign that landers is changing that mentality in cork in o donughe, who he had a minor, kelleher, walsh. O connor all have grit and character within so he slowly changing that, problem imo get balance right Landers you see was a great hurler for cork in 99 as what he brought in leadership and captain and inside and outside he was tough as nails He wasn't the greatest ever midfield player in cork wouldn't come close He typically was not the jbm style fast midfielder but he was credit to jbm facilities at midfield to do defined role and was there help Mick o connell who was the john Wayne fast hands ace shooter renbembrr Galway under twenty one final 98 he was on fire and v Waterford in Thurles ice cream sunday Landers would been centre back he's best position bar brian the great. Haughey in my opinion is exactly pro type mickey o connell Both same club. But sublime free takers, lovely hands. Awesome striking wonderful long distance scoring and haughey could make no mistake score nine points v waterford on Thurles in free open game just like mickey Thry both play half forward also But like mickey proved in 99 he had no toughness within to fight for a ball so he subbed v kilkenny in 99 in pissing rain he just didn't perform The less talented timmy mac and ridiculous maligned by cork fans imo great great player he went midfield got Three points and was brillant Just get a video haughey v Laois div two last year wet cold night again he didn't get stuck in in portlaoise. Michael sullivan imo who should got better run for cork that game was subbed and never got much chance after that Haughey does Michael sullivan is I think gone abroad but he never got fair run with cork imo like others He had brilliant season for cit and cork and intermediate. He's tough and like I said last year loves physically challenges He destroyed noel mcgrath under twenty one years ago. Dry day for midelton down pairc v barrs open fast game haughney absolutely brilliant or today in loose hurling I don't doubt In war of attrition he imo is not a warrior and look at he's under twenty one career same problem yet ger Fitzgerald used he's club man as sub over seamie harnedy v limerick classic munster under twenty one final yet he didn't puck a ball as the physical aspect that game was too much I'f it's acknowledge he behind others why on earth should cork carry him with respect this is cork senior elite hurling it's not Ryanair or aer lingis so no passengers should be carried Passenger I mean On hurling field soley by if he can't play big games you don't carry a guy on the panel Seanie Mcgrath a light player had tremendous dog within and fought for dirty ball and he got three points in rain proved wet weather has no bearing if your small if you still fight like a wolves for it Seanie my hero still is as player but management imo I would not have him in the cork set up Key is me not criticism of him, it's differenation of it from a player I realised he's wonderful value to cork but in management in my opinion I don't think he has it and cork have better selectors imo Id be hoping landers can distinguish the tough characters needed to play for cork and he's open to change of styles Cork will either be successful or fail on that imo Landers has done nothing to say he can't do it it's just done nothing at senior to prove he can but he has potential so cork have new voice and hope Look at tipp and limerick same voices as last year practically in management Not good. Looking at dublin football they freshen thing's up with sherlock He may have altar boy quietness compared to others don't be fooled, I hear he's a top top ruthless man to be within a set up Gavin would not have him other wise Peter kelleher imo is senior midfield football written all over him not full forward where he's tried at under twenty ones but hurling I don't know has he potential to improve hurling finese unless he's committed one code Walsh trys but fine for killeagh but imo way off Frahill O connor had good battle with mclirnery and won ball and imo is rough diamond in he could improve In just he's second game unlike lads he's vying for a spot as they had loads of chances This being too harsh nonsense with respect is half problem in cork Corl hurling must have a ruthless honesty within. The greatest example so far in cork hurling was made on the seventh January 2015 captain pa cronin showed no ego in saying I'm not captain next year I ain't want it as my performance dropped and I must do more How many other cork players would do that Cronin imo was he's harshest critic himself. Key was he showed no ego, he realised he wasn't greater than the team, Paul o connell text book style There's a huge difference between ego imo and confidence and arrogance Ego I's imo an Arrogance imo a self confidence above the rest that unjustified with no humility shown imo Look at jj hanrahan, some say he has a ego. Imo no. He had self confidence to know he was better than what's ahead him but he'd play second fiddle to a player as good as he is is inferior when hanrahan has shown more promise at young age He has be selfish look after number one He's fully justified to leave. No ego just you get one chance In sport you got to take it, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. He also ruthless didn't as o gara say wanted to be a twelve saw himself as a ten. You see if he did not go abroad he'd likely be jack all trades like earls etc and master none It's tough ask for shane o neill in you can't swap county but imo he needs to say jbm I'm not playing full back ever again Now yes he could be dropped for that but imo he's better to be dropped than played out position and made look poorer player than he actually is Imo he has get game time at corner I'n league and even if he's few bad games can't be dropped as imo management owe this guy time as they imo shattered he's confidence last year and he's a wonderful hurler and deserve more be to honest imo There's clear examples of inter county managers imo with huge egos in management that think there there great yet nothing justified that bar imo their ego Ego is imo not a word we should not use in gaa in many managers speak word now, eammon ryan spoke no ego in he's panel There humble and down to earth Nothing is above them or certainly below them They will never have any problems going forward A poster mentioned cork aren't humble at times he was spot on in he's right humble is a value imo cork should have as humble and ego can't go together , so with humbleness comes no ego Pa cronin definitely done cork huge humbling act of goodness and this will show cork panel no ego can exist. Of all the captain speeches, all the media duties he done imo that day last week he done the greatest thing any captain can ever do for he's team he simply put he's team ist as he realised he's performance dropped and cork deserved more Jesus got sacrificed for the good of he's people,in sport Roy Keane sacrificed himself for the better meant of irish soccer at a world cup.,pa cronin done the same imo Cronin got severly criticsed last year yet he was sick and had injury yet he made wonderful call this week Horgan on the other hand didn't set the game alight when he game on today yet had poor year from play and doesn't get criticsed as In cork he has this untouchable sense in some eyes Go to limerick thread and it's similar with respect to them there not ruthless enough like Some in cork in some think continue as is is fine , but look at kerry Kilkenney thread there is no its too harsh on a player once he judged on field play they criticse They don't give players chance after chance I'm sorry now lads but you can not pick and choose what games to play In, you must be adapted to all weather Joe deane was small man like o connor but heaven above see them in the rain, they had dog and bite hurling within We can't give lads chance after chance I'm hoping landers will add ruthless streak and maybe cian and lawton be dropped in panel announced few week Remember this is senior elite intercounty hurling And if anyone think I'm harsh I am sorry geuinely and I don't want offend anyone but ask year selves this, what is cork senior hurling defined by???? It's defines imo by all ireland glories and we owe it to the likes of greats the really really great I mean great now , Christy ring, jbm , Jack lynch, Gerald maccsrthy, brian cocoran. Joe deane etc. Ray Cummins, martin Doherty etc to protect their legacy, they weren't hurlers alone they were brave hearts and warriors,men of men, lions of trogianic courage on the hurling fields of gold and the field of dreams they created and do that we must win all ireland and it can only be done by ruthless execution with no room for sentiment imo and tough hard bold choices must be made Let's never ever forget or more importantly allow to truly ever ourselves forget what the red and white jersey stand for On the field of play and values it holds dear to every man and and woman involved in cork gaa just like in Kilkenney. That's the standard kilkenny set Cork hurling is too precious commodity to ever ever take for granted imo and we must never ever ever become like some moral victory brigade A year with out all ireland Is something we must not accept as normal. When I was growing up cork hurling was tough now soft attuide within some circles and clearly with some also and it's imo not right for cork hurling at all all. In regards the football Tipperary called off under twenty one hasting cup so hopefully Colin riordain starts midfield tommorrow as cork need real real test at midfield Team still not announced so I won't do preview in don't know their team Kerry beat cavan handy ist win for darragh and if he's kerry win senior win v tralee it I still remain to be convinced in relation to he's management. I think cork should definitely sent selector to watch them but wouldn't loose sleep. Thats bit an arrogance no not at all but imo an entity we have grown accustomed to In cork under twenty one. Football that we expect to beat kerry now and that's what you want That entity cork owed unmeasured gratuitous and respect to leahy and Cleary and hayes and gene for building that legacy and continue it We should remember that came after noel o leary said the year before 2003 cork had the worst ever under twenty one football management he worked with in and old sunday tribune interview I really do miss that paper, great paper See how things went from rock bottom to now a legacy where cork are kings of munster We are never close to such an entity at senior football due to the acceptance of cork football as the poor relation, the cultural attuide among some in Cork. I think kerry are shrewd enough their fans they won't get carried away either, kerry are where they are in football the greatest as they don't believe one swallow made a summer made and there never fooled. Ist test cork football tommorrow but we must see tipp team before we can see how much a test it is Is the game going ahead in clonmel?? As clonmel is after heavy rain not the best ptich??

The inability to play players in their correct position throughout the campaign has been mind boggling. Thurles were fluid and acomplished and were always going to come out on top. When you drop your starting full back Sullivan and centre back Callaghan then you start with a disadvantage. you then isolate your only ball winner Aherne as decoy on the left hand side and you continue to play linear balls down one side of the pitch then you become very predictable and therefore beatable. Instead of making positional switch's the Ag made changes. O leary is not a centre forward at a push he could play half forward, ahern should have been dropped into the middle to break the play. Young Morrissey an excellent hurler was out muscled and he should have not been exposed like this at 15. Lee was excellent his best game yet full of passion and fight. His run for his goal was super. The older gunning is a fine defender but his ball distribution was poor and the over re alliance on the straight ball down the line in my opinion cost the AG the game. Walsh made two errors in the first five minutes and you could see he was in trouble yet they only made the change when the goals had been conceeded. Yes Thurles were the better team the shots count will prove that but it was a game the Gael scoil could have won. Hard to fault Sheehan for the chance at the end to level the game he is after all 15 years old and was under severe pressure.

The rest you are pretty much spot on with although you neglected to mention Tom Hickey from Castleisland and David Harrington from Beara (adrigole I think?) who were both very good today also. Watching UCC in recent seasons I could never figure out why Tomas Clancy never got a real go with Cork..he's been very impressive in Sigerson last couple of years. Surprised to see CIT lose to Waterford today..they were meant to be going well enough under Kissane. Maybe missing a few players.
