Cork Footballers

[Banofie Magpie]

Damian O Neill was probably the best club player in the County at the time and didnt feature much at the time for Larry also. Jesus thinking of it we were fairly spoilt for choice for mid fielders around Cork at the time.

Nicholas
Haulie Sullivan
Damian O Neill
Fachtna Collins
Peader Concannon
Mick Moran
Jim Donoghue
Danny Culloty
Pat Hegarthy

Im probably missing a pile but ever club nearly at the time had a toweing mid fielder who could control the game and play ball aswell.

O Neill was by far the best all round footballer in Cork that time but was busy running a successful building company west in Bantry and he could not commit to LTs training 43 times a week. Any normal training schedule and O Neill would have been our No.1 midfielder and natural leader.

Ya he was class and would be a player well suited to todays game aseell.

It’s depressing enough discussing the current debacle of cork senior football without revisiting the utter debacle of cork football around the 90s/00s…..

Winter talk.
As Banofie Magpie pointed out here earlier, Cork senior footballers will not have a conveyor belt of talent until and unless CCB gets interested in winning and puts GDAs into designated schools in each Division.
This is what Counihan is paid to do but it appears he has done nothing to progress Cork football.
We'll have to imagine there's as much sports intelligence in Cork as anywhere else based on results in other sports so there's nothing to stop us putting a decent effort into basic structures to at least compete with the best.
The only barrier is lack of interest.

The management’s reluctance to make early substitutions last week was really worrying because it suggests that we do not trust the depth of our panel. Here’s a XV of players currently not in the squad who could help rectify this issue….
Mark White
C O’Callaghan D.Cahalane C. Kiely
J. Cooper L. Meade S. White
B. Hayes M. Keane
Sean O’Donoghue S. Kingston C. Cahalane
E. Twomey M. Hurley R.Cotter

You forgot Liam O Connell you have Keane back from Aussie land might as well bring O Connell back too

It’s an open door policy I reckon at least 6 of that team would start for us in Fermanagh on Sunday.

Im sure he told Morgan that if he looked after his sheep on the mountain hed play but that could be bull shit

He was on the Cork juniors. A super player. Prob just a level below the very best we had at that time and as someone else listed here earlier Cork has a long list of superb midfielders that time.
