Yes not that old, i do not think he was even of age when they beat us in Croker in 2017. I think he was u21 that year.
Yes not that old, i do not think he was even of age when they beat us in Croker in 2017. I think he was u21 that year.Hopefully not, but it looked serious. I don't think there has been any update from the camp on him since Sunday.
I was amazed to see that that he's only 30, I thought he was older tbh.
That doesn’t change how impressive holding them to a couple of goal threats and no goals is.They did lose their main scoring threat in Stephen Bennett.
Waterford didn’t hit the heights reached bs Tipperary. Do you think that might have something to do with the team they were playing? Cork deserve credit for that.I do realize that, thanks. But context matters here. Clare have well-known defensive issues which were exposed in the league final and in their games v Waterford and Limerick. Tipp collapsed for most of the second half v Waterford. In all likelihood one of Tipp or Clare will make it out of Munster, but they will have to improve massively to make a serious challenge for the AI.
Cork right now are in better form than Clare or Tipp, and as I acknowledged their defence has been steady so far, but they still gave up goal chances to a Waterford team that didn't hit the heights they reached v Tipp. That is a concern for a team with AI aspirations. More precisely, two of the chances were generated by Walsh besting Cahalane. Cahalane gets a sometimes ridiculous amount of criticism, but equally those mistakes would be punished by better forwards.
Definitely. But likewise, a team who didn't hit their top form still carved out three fairly decent goal-scoring opportunities. That's definitely a work-on, particularly considering that Cork won't have their first choice at 3 for the rest of the season.Waterford didn’t hit the heights reached bs Tipperary.

Glass half empty/glass half full...Definitely. But likewise, a team who didn't hit their top form still carved out three fairly decent goal-scoring opportunities. That's definitely a work-on, particularly considering that Cork won't have their first choice at 3 for the rest of the season.
Spot on and also doing this in the management teams first year with plenty to still improve on.Glass half empty/glass half full...
It's your right to focus on the negatives, if you wish.
But we've won 3 from 3 for the 1st time since this format was introduced.
1st game: beat current AI champions, 2nd game: beat current league champions and 3rd game beat Waterford in their backyard when they were desperate to win to stay in the championship.
We did this without our 1st choice full-back and centre-back, and, we kept a clean sheet at the back.
Not bad, big improvement from last year's round robin. I view that as progress.
For the first time in years, at this stage of the championship, we look like a set up that can win an All IrelandGlass half empty/glass half full...
