Back then it probably required 3 games, 4 max to win either munster title. Roco played 7 harty games alone this year. A further 7 in corn ui mhuri. Throw in o'callaghan cup and simcox and they will have played 22 (yes 22) c'ship games this year. Too many me thinks. We'll have to agree to disagree. I just don't think both can be done in the modern era. By the way, while I said I was a hurling man I didn't express a view on which one they should focus on. My point is you can't do both. My preference if they did decide to focus would obviously be hurling.

Having been in Tyrone previously they'd know there is always a strong breeze in that pitch too, so were the workhorses wheeled out for the first half and fresh attacking forwards brought on to take advantage of the wind and tired legs? I'm hoping it didnt just pan out this way and that it was part of the plan to contain against the wind before going on the offence with it. Actually, i may be open to correction on the Donegal game, i think they played against the wind first half anyway/

I'd imagine there's a plan within an overall plan for being both against wind and with it. Let's be fair the management seem to have upped their game so far this season. We live in hope...we have the talent though something 95% of of teams don't have.

Even in Kerry we knew that he wasn't upto it- his team selection was very poor and tactics were non- existent. Gary o Sullivan, who starts midfield for UCC can't even get a run but darraghs club mate who can't get near game time for UCC comes on! The game was over as a contest once Savage was (incorrectly black carded)- to be honest all that kept us in the game was Corks poor shooting and it was a well deserved victory. Good luck in the final- we'll catch ye next year!

Poor_old_gill wrote: » It wasnt a malicious or cynical tackle- the guy ducked into his challenge and made a meal out of it. The majority of fouls end up in a player being grounded- are they all black cards? Did you see it? Kerry want their own rules again? That's it, good man yourself

Obviously the Rules people regard that as cynical behaviour no matter what the circumstances and we can argue all day and all night about the rights and wrongs of Savage's black card. The ref thought he deliberately pulled down an opponent, and I did too. Yes I was there and these things happen quickly etc. etc. and we are all colour blind in these matters. To answer you on Kerry's rules it's obvious that Kerry take scoring frees from the wrong and obviously more favourable positions and get away with it time after time. The seniors have it perfected and now the U21s are at it too. Several instances on Wed. night and the reaction of the Cork supporters tells it's own story.
