Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Fair play to you tonight, you wanted it more then Clare. Compared to when you played us in the Munster Semi your defense was much more solid no goals conceded is a great achievement. The wides of course was the main downside, you won't go any further if you hit a wides tally like that again. Glad you won a positive for us that you've gone and beat Wexford and now Clare.

Well done cork, great performance

Outstanding win tactically master class in Wexford I remain be convinced regards system but today outstanding and no goal two games Ellis sweeping brilliant and Brian Lawton take a bow take a bow awesome awesome awesome truly epically brilliant display in deeper rile and he's best position cork


Doubted he half forward never rated him there cork but huge huge huge approval credit management reinventing he's sweeper half back role and if make sense poster take my hat off you you called this month ago half back he's portion



Hunger balls steel want desire he's was immense hookij blocking intelligent passing running he was Sensational and like Ellis and Harnedy and Cooper and lehane and cadogan be fair jbm brought in most these unknown guys made them awesome



This doesn't mean we beat kk no way does mean is best clare and I feared clare as thought out possession sweeper was too late in clare game too early wanted limerick but winning we no fear over rated Galway who took too games bear Dublin who poor in transition and kk dominated so yes Galway dangerous we can beat them hopefully tippeary we meet over kk in defence having awesome turn around been weak to strong with lorchan come back we with new system momentum and confidence and course hunger last year could maybes run tipp close


We won't talk all ireland yet but least still not gone worse under jbm and this is exceptional good clare team and yes I have admitted davy should brought galvin sooner but think be fair Cork hard beat today and were still ahead limerick etc others


Walsh I huge fan always and cahalane I really one few stood up them here and Murphy was awfully critsed after one poor mistake debut but said last year had play cork he was star makings and stood up Cronin hugely here also and he delivers and all did


I hugely critsed horgan step up need greatest and be fair credit due he did last ten minutes so I'll excuse wides


I'll say more game later but full back line Ellis cahalane really strong cut bite down centre and Walsh Murphy add huge presence centre with copper and o Neill and lorcan come back add last bench depth but could be better still


Since he made debut two years ago I said exact words Harnedy star was born


Christ oh beautiful lord thank you so so much giving cork hurling Harnedy no exaggeration but hunger will win balls drive leadership scoring the creativty the pace he's everything you want cork hurling and said last week is Paul o connell cork Roy keane he is to this team the jesus leading he's disciples


What a humble humble guy off ptich but warrior really great great meant great player and I belive after today importance this cork team up there alongside great legend christy ring

I truly believe this


Two games he's single handedly made awesome difference cork and people now see why genuinely said Cork never chance beat waterford without him
Improved cork by fifty per cent won free game be won

We probably won't play Waterford again but with system taking shape fit Harnedy lorchan who struggle get game now I'd love play Waterford again as no doubt no doubt we'd beat them


Great great day see poor Dublin inspired key management changes cunningjham win game and put humphrey Kellher quiet manager had be sacked loosing twelve games with huge against odd wins and showed players belive him great come back
Dublin will be beaten waterford tipp as poor forwards but dominated limerick second half and despite making poor mistake


Dublin got league semi final and now all ireland quater final so good solid year cunningjham and lot change so build new team with only eight imo current team up it but he's definitely right man do it


I feel for davy would went clare but I'm cork but yes he'll term be looked at but if Kinnerk comes back unless stand out candidates come in I'd leave him there

Cunningjham and ed coughlan imo got lot critsim some totally justified some not but people right their opinion but today good day cork all round and tippeary football with peter creedon


Jbm rightly critsed but immense credit adapting system and changing things and landers huge huge part that and when jbm goes landers should stay on Cork man


Lot do still even come close kk but delighted jbm and every cork panel members and huge congratulations all round for skilful hearty gutsy game and also huge huge fan coughlan felt was better sub all ireland final replay wasn't sure used but was terrific tonight hunger running and brilliant point


Cork learned lot two week it's amazing and we bit hope

Amazing day cork hurling all-round

Seamus Harnedy freedom cork sooner he's captain better

Powerful win. Very hungry for it. Walsh and harnedy immense and nice to see cahalane do well considering the crap he had to put up with lately. Defence looked solid. They pressured the forwards really well.

I though the Clare tactics were very, very strange. At one stage in the second half, while behind in the game, they seemed to put 14 men behind the ball?

Hey, only here to congrat ye on a deserved win. I think ye guys can go far this year if ye can get ball into Lehane and Harnedy, and the performance will definitly get better in better conditions. Good luck in the next round anyway.

Hard luck but history shows cork lost battle and in role reversal men when it comes football and kerry cork usually win important big games kerry in Dublin
He's record justified that we put faith Ryan and panel learn and evolve and turn it around again

The only team imo beat Cork would be Galway I don't fear kerry monaghan or Dublin

Cooper was immense tonight. He has always battled since he was given his chance under Denis Walsh. I have no doubt if he has a poor game the comments will be to drop him, he's too raw he hasn't the hurling. the display he have tonight should put that s*** to bed. Hoggie again didn't want to know when the going got tough. Lawton put in a great shift as did Walshe & Calahane. Brian Murphy is a massive corner back. With Ellis playing so deep it really suits Calahane as he is not to tidy CB but he has heart & bravery. I left thurles with a happy heart, our shooting needs to improve but that can be worked on. Paudi surprised me when he came on I saw him make a tackle but 1 swallow doesn't make a summer. Coughlan caused more trouble when he got a run than Cads did in the whole 1st half. well done tonight lads

Huge fan cooper like you and stood up him time again

He's warrior need greatest
Considering lost rugby for a bit and bad injury he's been immense cork


Horgan be fair stood up in the last ten minutes to be fair


Lot to do but huge progress made and clear now landers huge part shake up system and change play

Good night and we can improve again and two week break ideal now while Galway don't actually know where there at in needed two games beat Dublin yet kk absolutely second gear dominated them

Galway are a dangerous team in qualifying games for Cork but Thurles I'd have no fear them and Cork new system should stop Galway goals


The only way Galway win is goal alvanache as won't outscore cork on points

Seamus Harnedy freedom cork sooner he's captain better

Harnedy is just as important to Cork as Paudie Mahony is to Waterford...beat ye twice this year already, we'll beat ye for a 3rd time if ye want....Nice win tonight, beat a good squad with a poor manager. Your pal Davy goes to show that's he's not as special as you think he is

Look we won't go over old ground

Davy last manager get ye all Ireland final is not my pal

Good news for ye we beat clare and ye should if ye play them beat Dublin and likely meeting with kk awaits

Sure waterford win all Ireland so ye will beat kk no hassle
Fair play to you congratulations cork thanks
We love play Waterford now absolutely love it

Because you were wrong in the end of all of our debates? My grandmother could have gotten Waterford to the AI in 2008, We played Antrim, a poor Wexford side and barely beat them by a point, the players had all the motivation they needed for the AI semi v Tipp after hearing Tipp had Hotels, transport booked already for the final that year. He's passionate for sure but tactically clueless, Clare were very lucky they didn't meet Tipp or KK that year in 2013.
Thanks for the support tomorrow.
We would love to play Cork too, I'll save this conversation just in case you start with the excuses again next time

Walsh as I thought would improve with hurling games and he's awesome in touch was great superb block on Donnell support play awesome and great point


He's really adding presence and abrasive steel half back line and we'll able glynn Galway
He dominated conlon and match up I wanted as said here
Held cunningjham also

Kearney felt good and seem be ist sub cork but bar wide o shea good


Cork real option with coughlan and o shea in pace and touch and Paudie was excellent also

And completion is good

The corner back position on panel is better with o Neill back but still cork had sullivan we'd be better


Christ we had Joyce wed be very strong and against kk he's loss hugely felt


Only time Cork want play kk is all ireland final as there games go normally under dog but cody kk different than old kk team


Nash was excellent bar one poor ball


Mcdonnell outstanding and is better away from the square

Ellis awesome absoultey awesome carrying ball out and winning ball and being aggressive tackle
Grown in cork jersey
In line all star if has another two performance


Murphy I wasn't for him coming back but away kelly outstanding on McGrath

Warrior and true legend

Unreal hurling and great hurling brain

Walsh imperious
Cahalane got lot unfair criticism but I always backed him here
Want desire hunger and dogged in battle
Would prefer full back but grown centre well

Murphy outstanding all game
Got critsed one mistake v waterford but twenty six play v Wexford and outstanding score tonight and passing and tacking this guy is going be around long time and Cork intermediate player year imo last year I always huge fan
Some hands

Lawton immense work rate touch awareness and being huge difference this new style cork
Absolutely immense credit due

Copper warrior and get stuck in and Cork need him Walsh cahalane Ellis to do hard unselfish graft
Warrior and now created lot others
Great point
Worked hard never cut loose but worked and never gave up
Cronin much maligned cork fans again I been huge fan and while I'd have him full forward new system he is fine
Worked hard always hurled ball great score and fully fit with no captain pressure been immense

Cadogan benefits being on ball more outfield but not great day scoring wise but he's day will come

Harnedy awesome brilliant magnificent leadership the gods cork hurling
Warrior inspiration die hard
Iconic legend already cork hurling two years
No word fully justified importance to cork
He's walk on kk team
Says it all
Horgan missed vital scores and faded but when game was there to be won he stood up so huge credit tonight


O shea huge game won lot break and hurled lot ball
Coughlan inspired sub great pace workrate and touch and point and would be suited for Galway


Landers clearly having huge input cork coaching now
Fair play Matthew coach had cork flying fitness wise physical and speed tonight and landers power cork break the tackle was great tonight

Intensity was great and we had pace and power and skill and composure it was great to see


Lots of work still to do

You are absolutely deluded as usual 4 terrible teams played in thurles last night let's be realistic. The shooting was awful and it was Horgan who stood up a man you would have dropped.yet pa Cronin can't do no wrong with you a man who didn't catch one ball.we have no half forward line .2013 was the golden chance to win an all Ireland but we couldn't beat a poor clare team.a team who have only one championship game since .the hype will be back now again even though we will have improve massively.

Am, that'a an absolutely crazy assessment of Hoggies performance. He scored 4 or the last 5 points and won the game for Cork.
