Cork Footballers

[St fachtna]

really bad result yesterday, wasn't expecting for cork to win it maybe 5 point lost with the players out. but 20 points is nothing short of wreck less. martin needs to be dropped kick out are well below standard. surely the lad from the barrs is better if doyle is still out. big trouble at 6 if keeps playing rm. walsh struggling in the middle have very little dept in this area. maybe paul walsh could be tried ???. Conor C did he even touch the ball yesterday. its hard one to take might only loose one league match and not go up because of yesterday result.

The 7 men missing are huge losses . A lot of average footballers on the bench

No doubt that's a huge factor, but remember too that all of those lads were on board for serious beatings pre 2008 and in DOC cases post 2013.

In Counihans six seasons I can't recall cork ever lost a game by more than 6 or 7 points. There was a league game against Cavan where they lost by that and another towards the end against the Dubs. That time was bookended by absolute hammerings from Kerry in 2007 AI final under Billy and 2014 Munster final under Cuthbert.

Counihan never got the credit he deserved. 3 Munster Championships, 3 Division 1 League wins and an All Ireland in 6 seasons. That’s fair going. If they had beat Donegal in 2012 they’d have got another All Ireland too.

What about 2009 when he didn't make changes? Fell over the line in 2010 against an inexperienced Down. He underachieved with a great group of players.

People forget that in 2010 they beat what would go on to become a generational Dublin team. Cork lost in 2009 because Kerry choked our forwards by playing as defensively as they’ve ever played in an All Ireland. That was a generational Kerry team too.

That Down team were no average side either. Marty Clarke, Benny Coulter, Ambrose Rogers, Kevin McKernan and Paul McComiskey were all top footballers

There were a lot of top intercounty sides during that period. Tyrone, Kerry, Dublin, Mayo, Cork, Kildare and Donegal all challenging in the latter stages of the AI.

Not round here he didn't anyways.

No 6 is turning into a huge issue for us as is no 10.We need 2 new players from somewhere.You could maybe move Brian O Driscoll to 10.Who for 6 tho either Tommy Walsh or Dan O Mahony.Who for the wings then?

Sad to say but Down took out Kerry in the simi . 09 Kennelly took out Nicholas Murphy and the Sligo ref left Kerry do what they always do. Cork had a Golden crop of Forwards, but our Manager never let them loose.

12 is also an issue yesterday not for the first day getting caught for over carrying and very poor overhead. We were completely bulleyed middle 8 bar Luke Fahay. Colm was allstar material first half but Rogers and Glass blagarded him and sadly that was him sorted. Young Sheedy played well for 10min but swallowed up after that. We are very soft nobody to there to mix it , men against boys

It was the kickouts that were the issue yesterday not the midfielders. I was at the game. We contested very well in midfield and our two lads were 2 out of about 4 lads that actually played quiet well. It was kickouts being terrible and going astray that cost us in that area
