Goes with the territory. If it was all happy clappy after 3 years of failure, then these lads would be back for a few more years.Some of the stuff being written after the Limerick and Clare losses was well over the top.
Totally unnecessary.

Agreed. An interesting read and maybe he is right I some aspects. Maybe there is lazy journalism and commentary and if that is done by ex Cork players, then it should not happen. Mind you I do recall the Rock, some years ago having a cut off Meyler.Pat Mulcahy says unity among Cork hurling people is key if Rebels are to progress
Outgoing Cork coach/selector sat down with The Echo for a Q&A to discuss the campaignwww.echolive.ie
Interesting read.
So what if they gave their time. If they are not up to the job and are unsuccessful, then they’ll deservedly get whatever constructive criticism that comes their way.Nah, these guys are giving their time.
Some of the stuff said about Furlong, Sully, DO'G and Kingston, on here in particular was completely uncalled for.
Always the same suspects at it too

Spot on.I find it very strange they're complaining about criticism. It goes with the territory.
It's not like any of them are new to the scene. They have experienced it before as players/selectors etc.
There's scrutiny and criticism at club level to be fair. Every fella in a club has an opinion. Some of them aren't slow to tell you whether you're a player or management.
To be honest if they were successful it would have been like water off a ducks back. Some of the criticism was over the top but some was extremely valid which is why they changed things up!
Successful managers decisions are questioned all the time. Cody was getting it lately even after his success. Every fan thinks this or that player should be playing, has opinions on tactics etc.
I can't understand why both Sully and Mulcahy are giving out.
A lot of it was, yeah. A little word to the wise - if you don’t want / can’t take criticism, then stay far, far away from the public eye.And you think the stuff being said was constructive?
Ah give over..
Give me the job then. I’m willing to put in 80+ hours a week. Regardless of results, if anyone should dare to say one word against me, I’ll set Matlock on yee.Kingston was putting about 50 hours a week into what is pretty much a voluntary role. The selectors would put in something similar and I can only imagine all the headspace it takes up outside of that too.
If you feel you're giving your life over to Cork hurling and you're genuinely trying really hard and fellas are taking easy potshots and making you out to be "clueless" then it's not unreasonable to pushback even if some of it looks a bit bitter from the outside.
