How Are The Footballers Shaping Up

[Youghal Exile]

Hopefully when everythings back to normal they can have a right cut at winning Sam Maguire.Right now i think there the 3rd best team in the country with galway and the dubs behind them.

[Turenne]

3rd best sounds about right, still missing a center forward or another top class midfielder. The way the CIT lads played though, the future looks bright.

I think they are well on for making a huge assault on Sam in the assumption this all gets resolved. I work with one of them, he is utterly focused on an AI.

I think Fintan Gould should be given a run at centre forward.I would say the players in danger of losing there places are John Hayes,Nicholas Murphy and Anthony Lynch.

C32, I don't know the inner workings for next weekend, but presumably chants and banners will be directed against Frank before the match, during half time and at the end, but we will be cheering on the footballers in between right?

[Corcaigh32]

I think Pearse O'Neill does a good job at centre forward.

[Mondi]

Spoke to a footballer in portugal yesterday, he said Aisake is unbelievable !! and incredibly fast for his 6ft 7 frame !

Chants and banners will be appropriate for our message and will be used before, at half time and at the end but we most definitely will be cheering the footballers for the match.

I think pierce is better at midfield.Will aisake fit into the forward line?

forgetting about Kerry and Tyrone arent we..Armagh would be a better bet for sam too

[Corcaigh32]

Is Aisake definitely going to be a footballer this year, not a hurler?

(Assuming all this is sorted).

Read what he said again I'd say;)

get it now...its late and been a long weekend...id rate dublin and maybe armagh and Galway higher than Cork though...paddy powers has Cork as 4 favourites after Kerry, Tyrone and Dublin

[Corcaigh32]

Think we would take Dublin handy enough.

Limerick had ye beat last year only for our keeper handing ye two goals...i had limerick backed that day...what a sickener

Anyone got more info on this? Mondi?

[Turenne]

Murphy and Lynch aren't going anywhere (hopefully). I'd like to see Kerrigan given a decent run in the league at the expense of Hayes, who is classy but has to have the ball given to him, and Masters for Goulding if we are going to stick with Cussens. I think a footballer like Gould at center forward would be interesting, just not Gould himself, too lightweight, has invaraibly struggled in championship matches.

I think Pearse O'Neill does a good job at centre forward.

I agree, which is why we need a midfielder. We are sticking with Alan O'Connor when we have a bench brimming with potential. I'm beginning to think Cussen should start and stay in midfield unless we are desperate for a goal, and have maybe Masters in full. Aisake is the wildcard.

There are so many configurations really, but this is undoubtedly the best Cork football team in years with the best manager we've had in years.

[Turenne]

Anyone got more info on this? Mondi?

I'm not sure, you could ask the same question about Colm O'Neill, an exceptional talent in both codes. If the 08 panel disbands and the footballers don't strike, we could be asking similar questions about Eoin Cadogan and maybe even Sean Og.

[Corcaigh32]

I don't see the 08 panel disbanding - we are too close - I don't see the footballers abandoning their strike either if this isn't sorted.

Armagh are a spent force and who do you think you are as a limerick man to question Larry Tompkins and Shea Fahys corkness.Ya phleb.

Dublin are the most overhyped team in the country.Galway have decent fowards but they are poor in all other areas of the field.

[Youghal Exile]

Well done CIT what a boost this is to cork football.
