Cork Footballers

[The Highway Man]

Eoghan MacSweeney had a fine game. Scored 2 pts. Set up Cork goal. Should not have been taken off.

He was bollixed, legs gone.

Limerick won 28 out of their 28 kick-outs. That’s a remarkable statistic as they were playing against a strong wind in the first half and Cork commited 5/6 forwards into the Limerick half for kick-outs. Delighted with the result and there were some great individual performances in defense from Powter, Taylor, O'Donovan and Shanley but there’s no point in showing up to play Dublin, Galway or Derry if we’re going to allow them have as much possession.

Ideally Galway or Derry. The Dubs would riddle us with goals.

Armagh v Kerry would be very interesting.

 

[The long road]

Would you believe they're two different sports, surprisingly. I saw advertised there were a couple of local soccer games on and a rowing regatta in Passage West as well at the same time. Shocking.

Could they not have ran off their blitz yesterday. Oh they couldn't twas probably clashing with soccer training and we couldn't have that

He was cleaned defensively today and his tackling was really poor giving away a few soft frees. Very good going forward but teams will target him, both cooper and Maguire far more solid defensively

Very good second half today.Still a long way off the top teams but the best I've seen us play in a long time.Fast direct and purposeful.

The big positive I took out of the day though was the positive vibes on the pitch after.It was great to see the players getting the plaudits instead of the constant criticism of the last few years.The large number of kids on the pitch were over the moon to be getting selfies and autographs with the players.
Great way to end our "home" fixtures for the year

Cork cant get Kerry
Mayo can't get Galway

Any statistical genius out there do the numbers on who our possible opponents will be...anyone anyone ?

It's means there's a higher chance of drawing Galway than Dublin or Derry, as Galway have 3 potential opponents and the other two have 4.

Let's be real, Lmks full back line, several times in the 1st half ran toward their own keeper got kick out short and immediately turned and came out past their marker with the ball, tackling/pressure was dismal

Jesus.
That's a frightening stat.
It's something to work on but the potential midfielders we will face in the quarters will make Limerick look like Junior B

It largely had nothing to do with midfield. Most of them went short.

In the first half Cork didn’t push up enough men so were outnumbered and Limerick just kicked to the spare man. In the second half Cork pushed up but went man to man. Limerick stood everyone centrally and broke out to the sides. The forwards did a bad job of defending it.

If you give a good team that platform then we will be annihilated.
