Cork Footballers

I disagree, Lost it in the first half imo.
Far too ponderous with the ball playing with an 8 point wind. I was smack bang on the centre field line and the crowd near me were going nuts in the 1st half even when we were up 5/6 points at the slow cross field play.
Kerry went in at HT just a few points down with the greatest kicker in history in absolutely top form.. it was game over..

A word on Clifford, he is as good a player as has ever graced a field. I had him on par with O Connell, Jacko, Matt Connor and Gooch but I think he has now surpassed them all as the greatest of all time.
At times he was simply breathtaking last Sunday, with even the Cork support just marveling in what he was doing at times. I had family including 2 teenage grandkids with me and I’m glad we got to see that display together. When im long gone and forgotten maybe in 50 years time they’ll tell their own grandkids about the day I brought them down to Killarney and saw Clifford.
Unfortunately, our own display destroyed what could and possibly should have been the start of a Cork football revolution- 25,000 Cork supporters felt it and went down to see it coming.

Winning the toss and playing with the wind msy have been the wrong decision. Playing into it and battening down the hatches as best as possible until halftime might have been a better strategy.

Did we win the toss and do that?????
Hardly ffs

I couldn't disagree more!

All the points you make are more accurately applied to football imo.

Both are far superior to soccer though...

Maybe we'll agree that rugby is the worse. Grown men jumping up on top of each other and one player on the team who can actually kick the ball but usually out of the park or back to the opposition!

That's what I recollect hearing on the box. The likes of Deane, who was only ever going to play for 50 minutes, would have been made for such an exercise.

Ray Keane got a 2 year term with the 20s

Yes he has but I'm on about the lads from this year that will be too old for 20s next year all the great work he done with them will be for noting he should move on with them and in 2/ 3 years time we will see some great cork football . Ricken can move up to the 20s for a few years I'm sure . Keep ray keane going forward with them bunch of lads and they will have kerry style football drilled into them

The ref flipped the coin the wrong way or maybe it was the breeze

So you want him to pack in the 20s next year and take over a development squad, what about the the 19 year olds currently with him now?

Doesn't everyone?

Half the country hasn’t a clue or much interest whatsoever in hurling, so no everyone doesn’t.
The “hurling people” as Donal likes to refer to, have very strong views about hurling and aren’t shy in expressing it. This damages the sport and puts off non hardcore players and their families.
Unfortunately elitism has stopped the growth of hurling. The new committee have some job on their hands.

I knew I should have included a smiley face on my post....
