I thought both the penalty and the sending off, on first viewing, looked harsh enough but Cork's biggest problem is that they didn't score enough when they had possession. Cork had a lot of possession in the first half but they spend most of the time handpassing the ball sideways and backwards - no penetration and not enough scores. Mickey Harte had his defenders well drilled to push Cork attackers outside the scoring D and it worked a treat for them as Cork struggled for scores Then in the second half when Cork had less possession they were in trouble.The game suited bigger physical players, like Deane, Magure and Sherlock who played well. Smaller players like Corbett and Jones struggled I thought.

if we lose to Derry and Meath bt Kildare we finish 5th that might not be good enough to quailify for the Sam Maguire ..we then have to get to the Munster final to make the top 16 and we have to play Clare in Ennis..nothing easy there.

He is dead right. A load of lads inside training and not playing any games. Any lads not involved next week should be left play with their clubs.

Brian Hurley missed up front.

Yeah Big loss. His physicality and insiciveness were missed up front. Mattie Taylor, who has been excellent so far this season, was another loss to the team. Brian O Driscoll is back but he looked a bit heavy when he came on.

Cork are doing just fine without the pudding boys.

If they want to dream of hosting intercounty games when their players reckon they're above the jersey then best of luck with that delusion.

It todays result is anything to go by, we need them back asap. Clancy will return to the starting 15 shortly, and will deservedly take the no 3 jersey. Liam ODonovan may take longer to return but is nailed on no 5 when he does.

Bringing on 2 subs in injury time ffs

Yeah ridiculous! Every single game, Mark Cronin is brought on with about two minutes to go. I mean ..the poor lad! Either play him or don't.

12 minutes football in the last 4 games as an example of how the subs are used this year, no team has used less players then us I would think, hard to build a squad like that.
We are far far less advanced then people think imo, huge amount of work still required, in particular the make up of the half forward line and the inside line

Kildare beat Limerick and Derry beat Clare which means that both Limerick and Clare are relegated to Division 3.

Who fared poorly out of the backs today fox? Which lads will they come in for based on today’s performance?

Take your pick. Clancy is our best full back and ODonovan is the best wing back outside of Powter in the county.

Based on the league so far, my guess is Walsh and Maguire would make way.

It’s all hypothetical really though as neither may even be fit and match ready for championship. Cleary should get the rosary beads out as we badly need both back.
