Cork Footballers

[Fox Leary]

Ye should rethink that strategy, Fox, considering ye have only won two counties in 70 years. The big four, eh !

Only Nemo and Castlehaven have won more counties than Clon in the last 30 years.

The big 4 stand clearly atop Cork football in terms of success and tradition, the gap is absolutely enormous. Particular credit is due to the 2 rural clubs in the big 4 as we simply don’t have the huge playing numbers the 2 city teams have at their disposal.

According to reports, that was in protest against the atrocities being committed in Germany at the time. Very proud of that team.

Wouldn’t be surprised Trav, you won’t find many towns in Ireland who compare when it comes to humanitarianism, empathy and fellowship with the oppressed and those in need.

Heading up alright. Let’s hope for a good performance. Let’s do a PROC meet up if there’s interest?

The Barrs aren’t averse to accepting players from outside their boundaries either, isn’t Shieldsy a B-town man?

Oh here’s dumber to join his other half dumb

Blue blood running through Shieldsy’s veins since he was in nappies, do try up your game if you want to compete with the big boys

No wonder they welcomed you and the other fool with open arms so

 

[TravisBickle]

red&blue will I see you at the Clare match? I’d be surprised if any of the keyboard warriors here actually brave the elements to support the troops.

Birth has nothing to do with it. If your great grandfather wasn’t on the 39’ county winning Clon team you are considered a blow in down here.

Reminds me of the time where one of our adult players didn't like something he thought I did in relation to an admin task. Our family have been in the area since 1940, but he'd been in national school when I had emigrated, and presumably didn't know of me until I came back (over 20 years ago now), so his put-down of me was "who are you anyway, only a blow-in!" (I didn't bother to explain, and left him off with his misapprehension).
