Cork Footballers

[Corks finest]

Hurley was immense

If only he was 5 years younger

He was head and shoulders corks best forward by country mile . Fellas on here tgat it was a toss up between himself and Sherlock got there answer today . Shanley and Walsh massive losses when going off and at least 1 goal and 3 not taken . All in all a huge improvement

What you numpties can’t see is that with Hurley you might get 5 or 6 points from him put nothing from anyone else. Everything has to go through him. He can’t or won’t bring anyone else into the game. To win you need an attack leader that can bring others into the game and he’s not it. So while we have him on the field we will always be less than the sum of the parts.
But not everyone can see that. So you guys have your fun and keep judging football like it’s Top Trumps.

All backs were excellen bar mattie (cul de sac mat)but going forward it will be the same system of play. Have we improved? Paul walsh was excellent today but why are we persisting with powter at 11. He was caught twice waiting for ball intercepted ball goes down the field mortal sin for me. He seems flat not an energy bullet anymore. We need to find a Centre forward fast.
I will give Corbett a pass today but he can't kick pts from 30 m, he must stay on edge of the box.
Brian Hurley is ou rbest club forward in the county but doesn't always turn up for his county but was excellent today . I love Chris og but poor today. Brian o Driscoll was not at the races.

Clearly said in his interview. Powter probably shouldn’t have even played because is currently doing he is medicine exams to become a doctor. I would love if they just gave Powter a position. You say we need to move Powter out of centre forward but he was great for the first 20 mins and then they moved him back… that changed the game

Don’t you know the keepers are the causes of all our woes in both codes at all levels? According to this forum anyway

Are you saying you are happy that Kelly is representing Cork football.

Yeah he did fine. You said he should never represent Cork again, have you a reason for that or…?

You clearly are a troll.
But strangely what you’ve said here is a common enough opinion, even at his club level. I know one opposition team that prefer to play a Haven team with him playing. They find the Haven attack overall more predictable and easier to contain when Hurley is playing

The kicked low trajectory ball into our full forward line worked very well for the first 25 minutes. Our full forward line had the Kerry full back line in trouble during that period.

But then, we stopped doing it. I wonder why.

Our intensity appeared to drop too. Not as fit as Kerry? Many Cork players appeared to be out on their feet early on in the second half.

Our intensity dropped just like the U20s during the week

Maurice Shanley well beaten today if Sean Meehan was on from the start it could have been a different story

I’m no troll.
Nothing strange about it. Teams happy to cough up 5 or 6 points to one player on the basis that the team as a whole is worse off. He thinks he’s on fire and keeps doing his own thing meanwhile ignoring the runs of say Corbett. That’s why I think while he’s in the side (at least from the start) we are destined to under-score.

Or what?
