Referee worth 5 or 6 of that lead. Hate having to bring ref into it, but not right to sweep it under the table either. For what players put in, they really deserve a far higher and fairer standard of officiation.
That aside, hats off to our boys.A performance to be proud of and build on.
Sort the bloody kickouts though. How long before the penny drops. What on earth are pur coaches seeing or doing? The kickouts are an absolute farce like.

Change the record m8 and grow a pair. Morto for you and the other soft little crybabies on here crying about the ref, every time Cork play ….. in whatever code.

Sure....

The guy has a good point.

Not sure what you are on about. Cork got the thin edge of the wedge from the ref. Mayne go to the Kerrah forum?

Dylan foley useless in goal but he’s not a keeper, I’d blame ricken for that one. There must be at least 2/3 keepers in Cork who are better? What was he thinking bringing him in...

No one in Corks half forward line any threat to scoring so Kerry could drop in to the scoring zone and double up on the threats like mahony and sherlock from doing damage. Anyone agree/disagree?

Gavin Creedon left on the extended panel and supposedly not injured.. was on the panel for Meath league game earlier in the year..

You need to look at the performance rather than the end result for this one. It was good to see a Cork side play with an effective defensive structure and to do it with intent for the majority of the game

It's fair to say that was the best side in the country by a distance at the moment - ignoring whatever panic they might end up having against sides that can take them to dark places later on. I wouldn't be expecting a magical journey, but there was enough there to suggest we can take a couple of scalps. The two big issues are conditioning in the final quarter against the best sides, and how we're prone to letting kick outs go haywire.

Hartnet and Hayes shoulda came on as soon as moran came on
Honestly happy with a very good performance against the all Ireland favorites for 50 mins
A few weeks now to get ready to have a good go at it in the qualifiers
Hopefully a few injuries clear up

Anyone throwing blame at Foley would want to wind their neck in. It was no different while Martin was on the pitch because the long kickout strategy, the same as we saw last year in Killarney, is that of the management and not of the guy taking the kickout.

Basically Cork flood an area and hope to pick up a break. It’s 50/50 at best and you wouldn’t win a senior club game with that kickout strategy. In this end it cost us badly because lots of other things were spot on.

There was enough there today to be positive about but we need to back it up in the qualifiers against a team that won’t be as good as Kerry but will be good nonetheless. Tyrone and Mayo among the teams we could face I think so it’ll be very tough.

 

[Norrback]

Just back overall given the last 12 months it wasn’t too bad disappointing in the last quarter but many positives, Cooper, O’ Mahoney and the defense in general. Hope they can build on this. There will be no easy qualifiers with the Tailteann cup structure. As others have said the kickout strategy needs to be better and being a bit more direct on the break. How many counties are in the qualifiers ? So far Tyrone, Mayo, Armagh?

Lads I think it’s time to stop blaming the keepers for these kickouts, we’ve tried 4 diffirent keepers and result has been the same. Won most of Martins whilst he was on

Dylan foley useless in goal

Did my eyes deceive me or did Foley not make a superb save against one of the best forwards in the country?!

Decent performance. If they didn't show up after all the shenanigans about the venue it would have been totally embarrassing so that was probably worth a few points.

Still, Kerry were just stroking it around at the end and there looked to be savage banter in the Kerry dugout. It shows how far we've dropped when an 11 point loss is being squeezed for it's positives. Still, at least one qualifier win would help the rebuilding process. Here's hoping.
