    I don't approve of that, but to be honest with you i've seen Limerick fans acting the maggot as well over the years. Two wrongs don't make a right obviously, but all in all i don't think our fans are any worse than any other counties supporters.

    As well as that we need to develop a settled spine to the team. We haven't had one since the mid noughties after all! We haven't had a proper full back since Sully, centre back since Ronan Curran, centre forward since Niall Mac and we haven't had a proper full forward since Brian Corcoran. We never really replaced Tom Kenny and Jerry O'Connor in midfield either.

    So no wonder we haven't won a senior all Ireland in nearly twenty years. Of course with the way the Munster championship is structured nowadays it's harder to win an all Ireland.

    You need to play five games to win Munster now, and with the semi final and final that's seven games to win the all Ireland. You can add another couple of games to that, if you have to go through the backdoor. God be with the days when you'd only have to play four games to win the all Ireland!

    In fairness the ball was thirty yards away and Tim O'Mahony grabbed Lynch on the blind side, who was not even going after the ball at the time. as he was obviously suffering from a knock. Would Tim not have been better off going after the ball, as cork were about five goals down at the time. Look at the wider tape of this incident again. Anyway, Lynch rose above it last night by staying forty minutes, in his playing gear, on the pitch signing autographs etc for young supporters from both counties.

    Let's look to the future, and not look back at old matches. Things will be different in the championship. Cork have to develop the physicality to cope in championship hurling, and we have to stop being such an easy team to score against as well.

    Booing is very much part and parcel of the GAA nowadays, you see people booing the opposition free taker as well. It was the Dublin supporters on Hill 16 that started that crap, and soon enough everyone else started doing it as well!

    4-08 v 0-10 ladies trail at ht.

    Good start and should have a penalty when things were going well but Dublin got on top of our kickouts and got a few goals that took the wind out of our sails.

    3-15 v v 4-13

    2 frees given away in the last few minutes were scored to turn a 1 point win into a 1 point loss.

    An outstanding game. One of the best I've seen in years. A real pity they couldn't hold on for the win but great credit to both teams for producing such an outstanding contest.

    1-13 each at HT. Battling away on a right winter pitch which is good to see. Galway on top early on, ran through for a couple of half chances for goals but we finished the half well

    Really nice win there. We are really going in the right direction. The work rate from everyone is really noticeable and Dalton was phenomenal. Lehane had a quiet first half but came alive in the second. Lot of new players given game time which is great. The pieces really seem to be coming together. To go to Galway and perform so well without a good few main players is very pleasing.

    Lot to work on as well though. A fair few bad wides and sloppy goals at the end given away although we stepped our foot off the gas. Understandable as a lot of work was put in already.

    Last 2 games have been really good and great to see us scoring goals again and looking threatening in that department all the time.

    Very happy with that win. Great to see the goal threat that we have being utilised. I wanted us to be competitive in the league games and we have won both opening fixtures.

    No one is getting carried away, but we are playing in a manner that suits us and we appear to have a few options in our squad now, which is great to see.

    Good win away at a tough venue with a lot of new faces.

    Early days under Pat Ryan but a nice bit of momentum building.

    Should really have been in charge from last season after that disastrous 2021 All Ireland final display.

    Great win to go away to Galway and score four goals in the process. They say that Galway will be Limericks biggest challengers this year, but sure we'll see about that. Conceding three goals would be a small complaint, but still though a great start to the year. All Irelands aren't won or lost in February though!

    As long as we go into the championship with a settled starting fifteen, and have some good depth to the panel then that's the main thing. As i've said before outside of Limerick i don't fear anyone.

    dalton brings a new dimension of physicality that the cork forwards need cork always have lovely hurlers but sometimes lack that bit of steel , shane barrett looks really tough too , its a new look for cork for sure , it was probably the difference between the sides last june , horgan aside

    really good game for this time of year

    Impressive by Cork today... mite be a controversial thing to say but I think the Cork forwards play better without Patrick Horgan.. when he’s playing they tend to just hit the ball into him whereas when he’s not playing corks forwards work with each other to create an opening.. make space for each other to have a shot etc... just my observation..

    definitely a more physical edge to Cork.... winning their fair share of 50/50 battles..

    where is darragh fitzgibbon..?

    Fitzgibbon has a shoulder injury. Supposed to be back soon.

    As for the other injuries...

    Mark Coleman (knee)

    Alan Connolly (shoulder) Séamus Harnedy and Tim O’Mahony (both knee)

    Question for people here, do we have a problem at goalkeeper? Lots of criticism of Collins yesterday. Puckouts left a lot to be desired

    Puckouts and puckout strategies can be worked on, so I wouldn't be too worried. We've been blessed in Cork with Keepers who have had serious longevity.

    looks fairly obvious that whenever Limericks golden era comes to an end.. Cork and Tipp will dominate hurling for quite a few years.... KK look shocking poor.. Waterford will be the usual... great performances followed by a meltdown.. Galway must be the most frustrating team to be a manager of.. plenty of skill and talent but to me they not to bothered whether they win or not... Clare much the same..
