Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Was speaking to a backroom member last night and he confident. Thinks kerry FB line are suspect. But sure you have to be confident when you're part of the setup

I have said numerous times that we have the ingredients to win the hurling. It is about getting the mix right. I think yesterday was a huge step in showing we have subs to come on. Next day the likes of Barrett might start and then who ever is dropped will be itching to get back on the pitch. I still think Kingston will just pick the more or less same team as he is very conservative in making changes. I can hear people moaning already at the team that is picked next weekend! I think that game might have showed him to have a bit more faith in the panel.

In regards to the football today, I think we will do well enough and if we can get within a few points near the end you never know but Kerry should win. I am weirdly hopeful though as we seem to be improving. Be great to win again!!

In the Camogie All Ireland Minor A Championship full time score is

Cork 2:21(27) Clare 1:10(13)

Ref had been poor for us. Cork player flattened after making a pass and nothing happened. Then later another bad foul and nothing again. We need those frees and them to get cards if we are to win

Another foul not picked up by the ref

Good first 15-20 min then just reverted to type for this team. Aimless play, poor shot selection, not tracking runners

Embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing.

Would we be better just doing what kilkenny do and not have a football team?

Honest question.. oh I hear about how our minors and u20s are coming but we have been saying that for 40 years.

Its last time I will ever watch the footballers. Not even annoyed I was laughing by end of it. Does not even hurt. We are just not interested in taking football seriously and no point thinking otherwise

Players too. Obviously lads that couldn’t care less about it. Don’t take it half as seriously as the Kerry lads.

County is nothing like Kilkenny though. It’s only a decade since we were competing for all-Irelands but really rested on our laurels.

Badly need a shake up with management. McCarthy getting a two year extension on the back of a snatch and grab Munster semi final win last November was wrong. Tactics have been poor for at least half a decade. Try something new - even if that involves an giving an external manager a 3 year+ rebuild and get the team back play some decent football and competing consistently.
