    Martin with a great save keeping us in it, 11-11 with 10 min or so left. Sherlock doing the scoring on his own, dire that we dont have players apart him and Hurley to kick a point

    Lost by a point. Without Hurley I knew we were in trouble. As Zetec said, we just rely on him and Sherlock.

    A miserable day for Cork

    This is ridiculous just relying on one player to score

    It's the Cork footballers we are talking about lads. They never fail to surprise us. Terrible performance and terrible loss. Cork football is in dire straits.

    The only surprise I have is that people are surprised we lost.

    Clare were super bet today

    Moreover, even though 4th in D2 should be one of the top 7 league qualifiers, you're still not 100% guaranteed to be in the last 16 if there are any more shocks.

    I know the hurlers haven't been going well in recent years, but one consistent theme with the footballers over the years, is that when you think they're finally making some progress, they smack you right in the face! I think it's all up in the air now, whether we get into the qualifiers or not. Between this and Limericks ominous display in the league final, it looks like the all Ireland drought in both codes on Leeside will extend to at least another year!

    We knew we were a long way off being all Ireland contenders, and today sure was another reminder of that! I'm still of the opinion that we need to give John Cleary a fair crack at it, but my bare minimum target was to get to a Munster final, and put it right up to Kerry. That objective has been failed. Well done to Clare anyway, and best of luck to them against Limerick.

    Until we find a bit more quality in the forwards, it'll be hard to make progress. We won an underage all Ireland double in 2019, but unfortunately here we are four years later, still waiting for that success to transition to senior level.

    Even when we win all Irelands in football we fail to build on it. The 1973 and 2010 all Ireland winning teams never built on those wins, and the 1989/1990 team left a few more all Irelands after them as well. Frustration, disappointment and Cork football go hand in hand.

    Indeed with the exception of the 1999-2006 hurling squad and the footballers in the Connor Counihan era, we've sure had a lot of heartbreak and disappointment in both codes since 1990. That was the price you pay when you leave Frank Murphy in charge for too long though. Considering the size of the county and the amount of clubs we have, we are without a shadow of a doubt the biggest underachievers in the GAA.

    The biggest problem with the Cork footballers is it's coaching structures. They are absolutely abysmal and have been for years. Not enough quality there to instruct talented footballers at underage levels and bring through the quality.

    Our player development at both codes has been abysmal for years. We did win underage all Ireland doubles though in both codes in 2019 and 2021, so we obviously must be doing something right. Then again translating underage success into success at senior level can be hard i suppose. You only have to ask a Galway hurling fan about that.

    hard luck today lads , i have praised the footballers a lot when people on here wouldn't jump but i totally get it now ,

    4 weeks ago without Stephan sherlock ye rolled up to ennis took clare apart and looked to have all the boxes ticked , that day 7 different scorers 3 goals scored and probably unlucky not to had 5

    the most impressive thing that day was the kick out strategy and the pace in which they moved the ball after , all of this was non existent today , chris og jones was most impressive that day and was no where today , powter did very little either while ian mcguire was beaten in the 2nd half , 4 weeks ago he cleaned us

    i talked up all them players in the past and like yourselves i cant put my finger on it either everything looked flat today.

    Yes that's the problem with the footballers. Every time I think they have turned the corner, they seem to fall apart again. When I read that Clare had 14 wides too then you know things are fairly bad. Thing is they need to use this defeat and use it for hunger the next day. Problem is that they might come out and do that but then the following week get trounced. You just never know what team turns up with them.

    Congrats to Clare and Hope they can go on to win Munster!

    The signs were there. We lost to Louth few weeks ago.

    Few of us were slated for calling out Cork football for what it is.

    I'm glad it does not bother me. I gave up hope in Cork football over past few years. This won't be the end of it either.

    wides are a huge problem for us , usually 50/60 % of our scores are kicked from frees , today we caught ye flat , hopfully we can beat limerick and take the bullet for the rest of munster against the Clifford's , problem is and i am sure its what frustrates cork people is ye would really ask questions of kerry in a final , if we got their i am not so sure we will

    its important now for cork to pick up after this , use the group stage of the qualifiers to get back to speed and at least a 1/4 final place , its only year one of this management team remember

    It's thirteen years since we last won Sam Maguire, and it'll be fourteen years next year. The hurlers have gone nearly twenty years without winning the big prize, and while we have some good talent coming through in the hurling, i don't think we're at the stage where we can compete with Limerick yet.

    There's been a lot of disappointment in both codes since 1990, and Frank Murphy should've been dumped out on his hole after the third strike. Since 1990 preparation of intercounty squads has gotten way more professional, and with the exception of the hurlers under Donal O'Grady and John Allen and the footballers under Conor Counihan, we have failed dismally to adapt to that changing landscape.

    ìf the hurlers keep tipping away they will eventually overthrow limerick , or limerick will just hit that switch and say enough

    football is a serious conundrum , i really expected ye to win and kick on today , hurlers need to just keep doing what they are doing though

    I agree with this. There is no consistency with Cork Football. Put it up to a good team one day and fall apart to a weaker team the next. It's always a problem with Cork football. We have lost nearly double what we won in football All Irelands. Cork football is not getting better.

    Ya sadly Frank set us back years.

    The pride in playing for Cork is not there either like it used to.

    Cork football bar mid 70s the 89-90 team and from 08-12 has been a joke really. 7 all Irelands in Football is actually embarrassing return really. 5 All Irelands in 80 years. Thats pathetic when you think about it

    Thats it when it comes to pride - doesn’t feel like it’s there consistently in the performances for many years now.

    All-Irelands are hard won but one from that Conor Counihane stint was a disappointment considering the quality and athleticism of that team. Left some big games behind.

    Having a bigger pool and some success helped create a bit of complacency when it comes putting in proper development structures.

    Less than a decade ago, we were a guaranteed top two seed in the province. Couldn’t be further from it.
