Desperately disappointing display yesterday but we have no choice other than to try to stay positive ( otherwise we might as well throw our hat at it now ) and there were a few positives yesterday 1) we stayed in the game right to the end with a man less and with 2 men less for 6 or 7 minutes...

Posted this on the football thread by mistake lads 😂😂

Sorry lads - wrong thread 😂😂😂

Lots of panic on here lads and yes first 25 minutes last night were shocking but I thought there were a few genuine positives for Cork last night - Eoin Downey was outstanding, Tommy O Connell showed that midfield is by far his best position, Sean Twomey was a real handful and Millerick played...

Midfield is another option of course for Joyce R&B as he could play anywhere from 2 to 9 - I know it sounds nuts to be suggesting moving him out of 6 when we have been looking for a 6 for years and he is the real deal but I think the bigger picture is what we need to look at and Downey has...

That UCC game last night proves once again lads that we need Rob Downey in that Cork team and even though Joyce has been excellent at 6 I think 6 is also Downey’s best position by far whereas Joyce has the legs and versatility for wing back and he could have more of a driving impact on the team...

Spot on R&B. It takes time but the raw material is certainly there

Plus Connolly of course m

Huge amount of comments on here since last Sunday’s game so here is my twoppence worth :- 1) it is only Feb and Cork need to be judged on improvement compared to how they played in Ennis and Limerick last year in championship - achieve an improvement on that and we will be bloody competitive...

no massive surprises in that selection but maybe the likes of Darragh Flynn and Brian O' Sullivan were close as was Ger Collins as I thought his distribution was actually better than his brother Patrick. Paudie Power injured otherwise he would have been in there for sure. Sean O' Leary Hayes is...

The number of times our free-takers over the past few years don’t even get enough height or distance in their kicks from distance is bizarre Cooldude - Hurley, Connolly was the same. Sherlock is probably better in my opinion so maybe he is the answer with more focus and specialist kicking...

It’s a bit premature to be talking about Kevin Walsh being the issue or even management in general being the issue but the basic fact is that we have less players that can kick the ball accurately than most Division 1 and Division 2 teams. We are primarily a running team and while that created a...

fully agree Cork 1990 - at least Cronin and Cashman are willing and capable of trying to kick points from distance which is a major deficiency in this Cork team in my opinion. Most teams are able to go over and back and retain possession but the good teams ( and Donegal look to be one of these...

he was playing at 7 on Sat Cooldude and while he carried the ball well and broke tackles his football was rusty and he coughed up possession a few times with poor kicks. He is a fantastic player and he possibly falls between two stools as regards positioning but I think his best position could...
