I said this to a colleague in the Páirc tonight and it’s something that is known but not mentioned as much as it should be. The Cork footballers must be the worst supported team in the country. In a county with at least a hundred clubs where football is played to a decent level it’s very hard to...

The Barrs best players of that age were always William Buckley and Ben O’Connor. Both distracted by other sports! John Wiggington Barrett is a very useful baller also and he was playing rugby with Pres up to yesterday.

What sort of twaddle is that? Ross and Clon don’t even rank in this conversation. Nemo and Barr’s are head and shoulders the “standard bearers” in terms of Cork football clubs with multiple provincial and All Ireland victories. Haven would be next in line and deserve serious credit as a club...

This. Larry is one of the greatest players I’ve ever seen but his views on the game I would largely disagree with. And why said views are featuring in the media I have no idea. As others have mentioned here, the limitations of the current coaching setup are being laid bare. The kickout plan...

From Goleen to Ballinspittle isn’t too small a parish.

I’d agree with JF above - I don’t think it’s a knee-jerk reaction or premature to say that there is a serious problem there with the Walsh kickout strategy. It’s the very same as the 2018 Galway playbook. It hit its ceiling then and it has done so already this year. Now the other issue has been...

Poor result for UCC. Not getting great vibes from that camp this year. Billy has obviously been a great figure for Nemo, Cork and UCC over the years and his record speaks for itself but quite honestly it’s time for fresh blood there.

Ah wasn’t particularly tough to call those except Mallow v Cahirciveen but there’s a good shot of Mallow, Kilshannig and Clyda lads especially on that Mallow team who impress me any time I see them. I think Mallow have a good chance to make the final now once they aren’t forced to play again...

South terrace is the one nearest the road I’m sure? North terrace is the Moyross side wall.

Páirc ui Rinn confirmed 7pm Friday. Will need the thermals for this one boys!

No there’s a debate about that. Decision tonight on Tralee or Flower lodge.

Unfortunately for CNM they just didn’t function well today and whether it was nerves or what, their shooting was appalling. Easily could have been level at least with the chances thrown away. It was a poor game as Cullyhanna were no great shakes either. Shame for Cill na Martra but after a...

Some win for The Haven on Sunday. You have to hand it to them, they hung in there when 95%+ of teams wouldn’t have and dug out a win that looked unlikely at certain points. Dingle will be sick but they displayed a lot of naivety and lacked big game experience that the likes of Collins, Damien...

Mounthawk v Roco Sem v Clon Coláiste na Sceilige v Mallow The Green v Abbey CBS That’s quarter final draw. Mounthawk, Sem and The Green would certainly be favourites to advance. The other one I’m not sure on. Mallow could take it.

It would be far better for most supporters if it were Killarney. I’ve no idea why Thurles is even being mentioned. That would be just silly and unnecessary surely. Maybe toss and play in Clon if Haven win or Killarney if Dingle win. Nether a home venue but good pitches and venues and neither a...

I don’t see Haven allowing many 1v1s to develop!

Yeah unless Haven agreed to Killarney but doubt they would? Killarney or Mallow only options really. They might get live tv slot so it could be Saturday the 9th in Mallow. A very interesting clash. Possibly Tom Sullivan v Brian Hurley which will be worth a look alone.

Great win for CNM & sounds like it was deserved. Good chance to have a crack off an All Ireland now there.

No never played with Dromid. Played with St Michael’s/Foilmore having grown up in Ballinskelligs. Had a spell with Moorefield in Kildare. Moved back to Kerry but opted not to join back with the home club. Safe to say they wouldn’t be the most popular but Bally/Foilmore have regressed a lot in...

I would say CNM have a very good chance here, more than any recent Cork champions in this grade. M/C are very well known to John Evans for one thing and he'll have attended several of their games recently you can be sure. M/C players have also had a fairly intense schedule recently with not...
