RTE. another reason for a few to stay at home

And if the weather is manky like it seems to be a lot recently then it won't a hard choice to stay home in a warm house instead of sitting in the pairc getting soaked.

Ridiculous pricing. I think it will be a very interesting game. Cork are apparently going well in training and challenge games. I fully expect us to give them more of a game than in previous years. The quality of Kerry should prevail of course, but I for one dont think it will be over by ht.
Last 20 minutes is where I think we will run out of steam and ship scores that will skew the scoreline somewhat.

A low bar to set for whether the game is a success or not.

Success is relative. Relative to recent years, Saturday will hopefully be a success.

You have to be realistic.

Straight Talker · 17-06-2019 11:07pm

If we give Kerry a fright, then i'll be happy enough.It's sad to say that.But that's the low base that we are coming from.But i think we can stay with them for 60 minutes at least.I don't think they'll beat us by more than six points.The main thing is to get to the super eights.The more games that team gets the better.

In other news, €40 for stand and €30 terrace tickets for the football Saturday is madness. Are they trying to turn people off going and no doubt the papers Monday will be full of how nobody supports the football.

Many people after going to 4 hurling games in recent weeks and then be expected to shell out again for a less than attractive fixture. Prices should be halved and try encourage people to go

Not that it matters much as prices will still be steep but that only effects those who buy on the day

€35 stand and €25 terrace and discounts for OAPs and Studenst as per usual if bought before Saturday

Best of luck to the lads! Working their holes off as much as any other team and they deserve our support in the Pairc - Hope we get a good turn out

Because he's being selected to play by the selectors who might know 'collectively' a small bit more about football than us keyboard warriors?

When has he ever played a good game for Cork?

Seadin · 20-06-2019 12:21pm

Hopefully if we get a performance and be competitive and look like we could win it then it wouldn't be a bad start for the way the state football is in the county at the moment.

Now that's a different question and my answer for what it's worth is .......he's no worse than most of this defensive set up. I really cannot think of anybody else
that would improve the defence, but perhaps you have somebody in mind?

zetecescort · 22-06-2019 7:39pm

both defences looking poor, need to get the ball to Hurley as quick as possible. could do with bringing on his brother too

The White Feather · 22-06-2019 7:46pm

Cork 1-4 Kerry 1-10 at half time

Happy enough with that.Awful start but we came back a bit.We had a load of chances but a few bad wides. Ref has been poor and not helped us at all but once we keep battling thats the best we can hope for.

Yes the defence parts like the red sea sometimes but if we can keep them to under 10 points in the win then it will be progress at least. We have to be realistic and they are way ahead of us but we are at least doing a few bits alright. We need to take any chances we get and try to keep it a bit close.

Both teams look like they will get goals

ShamoBuc · 22-06-2019 7:46pm

Kerry's full back line will keep it interesting.
Sullivan causing us havoc.
Hurley is capable of causing huge problems.
Deane is relatively quiet, bar his goal chance.

zetecescort · 22-06-2019 8:17pm

here we go, slowly being drawn back into believing we can win.

Lisha · 22-06-2019 8:19pm

I’m sorry but that was a wide ball from where I’m sitting

Thought it was wide too.

Kerrigan has been very poor today. The one day we really needed him to be on form

zetecescort · 22-06-2019 8:38pm

much, much better. hopefully a favourable draw for the qualifiers

keano25 · 22-06-2019 8:40pm

Of course they are, Kerry won.

The White Feather · 22-06-2019 8:41pm

Not sure how it happened but Kerry look like they had a player advantage rather than Cork.

Happy with that as we strangely could have won with a bit more luck with the goal chances. The ref was very poor today. Gave them every 50-50 and it seemed like the red card was only given due to the linesman.

That was a massive improvement on previous games and only a goal in it at the end. Really only 2 points as that point was definitely wide!! We just fell away at the end.Really good to see us at least competing again.Thats the best we could have hoped for. They put a bit of pride back in the jersey.

ShamoBuc · 22-06-2019 8:42pm

A very spirited performance, particularly the second half.
Kerry's defence is really fully of holes and we should have taken more of an advantage from that.

eigrod · 22-06-2019 8:44pm

So close. That point definitely looked wide and that free Kerry got,was it their 3rd last point where ref played advantage, there was absolutely no free there. Cork had 3 dreadful shots late on and self belief clearly an issue tonight. All in all, a very very good performance though.

ShamoBuc · 22-06-2019 8:46pm

He was certainly more favourable to Kerry, the free against Cork for a slow kickout could easily have been another against Kerry but wasn't given. Small things can make a big difference.

Ya some very favourable calls for Kerry but sure that's always been the way..

Spirited performance from Cork but as usual seem to lack that bit of composure in front of goal..

Think it was brought in for all finals, we might see tomorrow.

The White Feather · 22-06-2019 8:55pm

In the first half. the ref had a hand up for advantage for Cork and the Cork player went in on goal and hit it wide as his jersey was pulled but he just gave the free from the earlier foul. Then in the second we actually hit it into the net after he didn't allow enough advantage. Feel like we were so close to getting a good result!! That's why its a hard one to take yet its great to see us competitive and playing good football in parts.

If we now just work on the poorer areas we might actually be going somewhere! Seems like we are going in the right direction at least.

Seadin · 22-06-2019 8:58pm

I don't like moral victories. But this was a game we left after us. We havent beaten Kerry since 2012. So gutted we were close maybe lacked a bit of composure with some of our shot selections in front of the posts and the ref didn't help matters at all. Nice to see Cork playing competitive football again its been too long a miss. Hopefully we can make the super 8s.

The U14, U16, U18, and Seniors have now won Munster Championships, the seniors have also won the NFL Div 1. The U16s & U18s have yet to play All Ireland Semi Finals and the U21 are in Munster Final. There seems to be a load of talent on the conveyor belt in Cork Ladies Football

Angliru · 22-06-2019 9:19pm

A glorious performances compared to 12 months ago which was as depressing as I've ever been in PUC. Yet it was still rancid at times tonight.

Seadin · 22-06-2019 9:20pm

Ruairi Deane is a super player. Great performance by him today.

Playee well tbf, not outstanding but was decent

Cork put at least pride in the Jersey again. Happy to have been proven wrong to least some degree.

We win lot of 50/50 compared to sweet nothing last year.

Ref was poor. Not trying blame him but he gave at least 4 bad decisions against us

There really is. The established ladies clubs are thriving while newish clubs like Glamire ladies, winning the all Ireland junior club last year, have serious numbers at underage coming through.
The future looks good.

When you look around at whats there Cork are as good as any of them that are mentioned as last 8 bar Dublin Donegal and those shower back the road. Its important that they dont rest on a moral victory now but kick on through the qualifiers with aim of getting to a semi final at least.

The Camogie players won today too and deserve a mention

All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship Group 2

Cork 2-20 Tipperary 1-08

All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship Group 1

Kildare 1-06 Cork 1-22

ShamoBuc · 22-06-2019 11:24pm

Fine win against Tip, forgot to check the score earlier. Noticed that Briege was starting in midfield and O'Callaghan was starting g centre back instead of Gemma. Tip had 5 points after around 10 minutes, but were only allowed to score 1-03 for the rest of the game.

People were worried when Cork went to division 3 because when they get things right they are good enough for division 1. They trashed Limerick and were as good as Kerry yesterday eventhough it could be argued Kerry were below par but still they knew they still had to beat Cork and made hard work of it.
