Few weeks ago a fella said to me... cunningham wont progress he is too soft, I saw no evidence of that last sunday,

I’ve never seen any evidence of that in over 10 years watching him hurl. Ok he’s not an in your face type of hurler but he’s got steel alright
He gave Jack more than kisses and cuddles just before half time and got away with it. Probably because he spent 30 minutes trying to wind him and Ben up with his big boy routine and the two young fellas couldn’t have cared less
Refs would not allow 'Next Score Wins' (and I don't blame them for their stance to be fair). This was brought up at nauseum during the debates about penalty shootouts. Imagine a situation where a contentious free is awarded by a ref and the free is converted. You are looking at another 'ref in the boot of his car' situation (or worse). Its bad enough getting refs now at this present time.....if 'next score wins' came in, refs would walk away from the game. The abuse is just not worth it.What a day!
Going to start with my own fellas, so so proud to see our club produce the goods when it counts, we have been waiting far too long to have a team capable of taking on anyone, we now have them. Todays conditions didn’t at all suit our fellas but by god did they step up to the plate.
I’m nearly as happy the Rockies won as we did, well nearly. No harm to the players but I am sick to death of watching players on teams who have two opportunities to win a county medal and who are exempt from relegation, come together from an area bigger than a lot of counties and knock out clubs who are nuturing their players from 5 years of age to one day hopefully win a senior county. If Imokilly won today I would have been physically sick watching it. And now they are flogging the greatest prospect to come through in Cork since Hoggy, did anyone ever hear of burnout? It has to stop. Let the divisions play for their own championship early in the year but no more double jobbing. Or make a rule that anyone who plays for their division is inegible to play championship with their club. Let’s see how many they get out then
And get rid of the penalty shoot out. A shocking way to decide a game. Play first score wins and you will see a true winner not some soccer style one
On to the semis and we could have two cracking games, Erins Own and Rockies will be a physical battle but I think the Rockies will have a bit more hurling. We are really up against it against Newtown, they will spend the next 2 weeks like they have spent the last 30, football free. Things are coming thick and fast for us now on both fronts and I hope it doesn’t catch up with us

That’s a fair comment
They will have to put a cross up in a wall in the Glen Club because this week TheOTT has finally addressed Red&Blue's complete bias towards his own club on this website. Keep up the good work TheOTT.
On the whole divisions/colleges thing, here's a list of non Cork players who sought permission at the August meeting of CCB to play county championship with UCC. The rational being if they came through the divisional/colleges section they'd be available to college to play in a quarter final last weekend. While I don't agree with divisions participating in our county championship, this is a whole different level of farce altogether.
You could be correct in the sense that Pat Ryan will go with youth but Pat is an advocate of direct hurling and he's appointed a coach with a similar philosophy of how the game should be played therefore players should be selected accordingly. There are so many runners in the current team that it's unlikely they will all be selected.
Jesus no more penaltiesRed if we are going to have to play the Haven we might as well go straight to penalties and cut out the game .
