The 96fm report at 4.30 went as follows.....

...in the Harty cup today the score was Are Scoil Rís one hundred and sixteen Hamilton one one nine...

Jesus wept !!

same thing used to happen years ago on bbc final score from northeren ireland but that time it was most likely presented by some good old fashioned prod who had no time for our reckless republican past time!!!

but for a local station and especially in cork to get it wrong like that is laughable

Yesterday one point play was disgrace no matter when was as this was a division four team
Great comeback wait til kerry
Seriously we got take another hammering in kerry and relegated be division two which will in two years be harder get promoted from but likes yourself say wait til damage I'd done that imo will be irreversible to cork football
Just cause you fail to see or simply don't want to don't expect grass roots knowledge fans do same with respect.

I wouldnt be at all surprised if the next Cork Kerry meeting was close.

Why? Kerry would have been anxious about Corks underage success and their lack of talent compared to the noughties. Now that Cork look to be in such a heap Kerry know that keeping Cuthbert in as manager is the worst thing for Cork and a good thing for Kerry.

If Cork are beaten out the gate in championship or suffer a few beatings then calls for change grow but if their close it will be another term.

Kerry are fully aware of whats going on with their neighbours and not likely to be pulling all the stops to hammer Cork.

Lehane should be back in action next week after having his laser eye surgery. He's vital to both Cork and UCC.

whatever about Cuthbert, his selectors are destroying their reputations as fine footballers the longer they stay onboard. surely the penny has dropped with one or more of them?

Cant understand this, Ciaran o Sullivan was a hero to me as a player, what is he doing with this set up? as for davis seems to wear his skib hat a lot with cork, while sexton always gave everything when he played and surely he knows having been with larry the damage a bad manager does to a squad?

Yeah I agree. Cork have the first openly gay male sportsperson and the first openly gay female sportsperson. Fair play to both Donal Og and Valerie Mulcahy.At least we are first at something!

TTM... Just a query. You posted at half time of harty match in Charleville yesterday , you mentioned the cold etc . 5 mins later you had a big article about Cork hurling. Half hour later u gave us the result of harty match. I wonder were u at the match at all?
By the way gallant performance from Hammies but lacked the bit of physical presence of ASR. They found it hard to get past ASR half back line in 2nd half. Horrid cold for young lads to hurl in but credit both teams for great contest.

Yes I was smith replied poster, wasn't that long really article and belive not in actually while spelling never great fast enough type as seem I do lot posting then posted it as half time you know there's break in play and by way was in stand for match seen as you asked
You look at my posts this is not first time do that


Just prove see long article preview I done match
I didn't do that half time

If time do them on spot

Has done week in advance
Saved draft then posted yesterday hardly done it one day
Think it well know I go harty cup matches by post here
As you'll see posted bout two player performance half time did I or I did not and not just cold so yes I was there smith

Yes smith I posted results full time
Brief report I'd day took me less two minutes if even




Why sudden interest smith all sudden recently bout me which with respect isn't first time

This is twice now within week you're making incorrect assumption me at matches


Just cause what you didn't see me typing it at match, you looking for someone In crowd typing ?

Last week you said I was at half time left ptich do report

I never leave ptich half time do game


This is not the ist time with respect you made assumption on me incorrectly

Ah man, calm down. With the cold yesterday typing a h/t report takes some dedication. OI hopped it to filling station for a cuppa tea instead, should have brought u back 1. How many of hammies lads would make cork minor team?
ASR not as strong as last yr and themselves and Rochestown should be a cracker. Rocco have a right chance. Rocco forwards will be better than hammies. Unfortunately for hammies the postponememt from last week allowed Lybch enough time to recover from injury picked up over xmas.

twas bitter cold alright, and fair play to Hammies they fought hard but short a bit of punch up front

Ardscoil impressive but notes strong as last year id say - bit of bust up early on before dey settled and up totime of lynchs goal Hammies were with them although under a bit of pressue goalie made some fabolous saves

ASC will be hard to stop

Richedtown will win it

I noticed huge difference in Ard scoil this year to last not same invincibility about them

Meaney will start imo as richedtown gave him half last week clearly in mind two weeks time

I belive they have challenge lined up so he'll get game time

If he starts midfield break even and I think richedtown stronger physical wise with lot cork hurling and imo will win and I see one richedtown selectors there game yesterday so he'll have home work on Ard scoil done
Be close but I think they will win it

The 2 boylans playing for ASR in harty this yr are sons of Dave Boylan who played for the successful Midleton teams in the 80s.
OK TTM ....truce. Wont be at hurling tomorrow but hope top get to mallow Saturday at 1.

As regards football fall out from Sunday or lack attention in media doesn't suprise me imo

Waterford deserve immense credit but cork should be more focused on cork not Waterford and all I saw today lauding Waterford but no real criticism cork performance which he deserves be fair


Journalists entitled their opinion fair enough
I would have disagree with headline today though mcgrath defeat no biggie

I think if you look at team picked, complete playing out position least three quarters team in not one game but last two games, the non fixing midfield and the no defined state play and no coach then huge huge concerns
Also factor in held score less from play one half football last week
Once is accident twice is a trend in new Zealand rubgy
Imagine day all black beat ireland in Rubgy
They though Dougie howlett after french defeat world cup was bad in airport incident, thry will be an outcry in national media as no all black wants record ist team beaten by ireland in test rubgy
They have standards they set
Cork attitude defeat is okay don't read much in it
Imo it'd acceptance cork can be beaten by lower division teams
This is with respect Waterford football
If ucc go for it they will destroy Waterford but judging by fact ucc due play cork final tonight and Waterford wouldn't agree to it I say ucc may not take it seriously and that's Waterford only hope



Cork had no excuse as training last twelve weeks
And lads fighting for places
Has anyone yet criticism management does anyone know have they read in media??!
Why can't cork football be judged on results and defeats are ignored yet victory lauded to no extreme
I was talking ex kerry under age player today and said attitude cork football is problem and unless it changes cork football will always be poor relation.
The lad said kerry won't say public but most kerry fans think cork senior football is a joke at moment







A very valid points was made though cork won you're expected to you loose it'd crisis and no win situation


My counter debate is while valid points the fact is this was Waterford div four team, new coach and cork training last three months approx and one point play is appalling as fact certain players are being played with no real justifications on performance


Also huge worry I's Cuthbhert saying last week cork close be where wanted be but now yesterday long way off


Dublin are coming and coming and there going give cork harsh lesson


There's comparison to kerry last year
There way off imo
Kerry had proven all ireland winning coach ciwn o Neill and fitzmaurice learned great jack
They turned it around but they older team
Cork have no one in management capable turning it around imo
Cork struggle break down blanked defence again and have always done

.Cork coming in under radar won't work as kerry strive for perfection and won't let cork do number them

No kerry team wants be one looses record in killrney and fitzmaurice doesn't want be that manager
A mention was made cork die hard had bonus of kerry looking like they were not going well
Talking few cork men grass roots never ever beloved kerry were gone
I said kerry would beat cork and beat mayo
Many other cork lads same as o niell top top coach


If cork are beaten to Dublin will that be time worry!!

If not then when????
Monaghan??
Tyrone etc


Moral has be low after Sunday
Players are not fools either
Likes Clancy dorman,o dridcoll maguire coming from brilliant professional set up under Morgan at ucc must see huge drop standards when come cork set up

Course players won't say it publicly but thry must know standard are not what expected

A year has passes with numerous mistake by management and yet rarely it's questioned.


This result could I agree be blessing in disguise if lessons were learned from it


Nothing has shown me though management learn from mistakes

Example one
Midfield being awful every game last year despite not playing leary or dinnen

Playing corner backs half and half backs full or corner

Here we are in no defined system play
Are we wearing a blanket or football going to be nakedly exposed in white heat championship by being too attack minded??

Have management learned from player management??

Judging by reference to o Connor missed free seems my view blaming him
Mentioned players made mistakes
But who picked the players???
Two taken off showed nothing suggest merit chance

Why wasn't o rourke played earlier and why when team craved creativity
Why are we hearing two different tunes regards dualism!!

Management said thry ended it
They did really!!???
Jbm Walsh said players ended it
So who do we belive


I watched charlie other night TV
The one theme he was even open questions yet he though he had power of untouchable and end he was forced resign


Bertie after him and many more politicians from all parties

Cork senior football management imo on the contrary has luxury no other team in sport seems have, a total immunity to valid criticism on performance alone
