Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[StoneHouse]

an absolute farce.
he was the weakest full back from the 4 semi finalists that year by a mile. That came back to bite hard 12 months later

Would he ever do a David Mc on it and concede a goal in the last minute?

He is a troll, don’t waste your time. He only posts to seek a reaction. If you really want to wind him up, ask him about Clare camoige, that gets him all hot and bothered

Eoin Downey is not a full back at intercounty.
He is barely a wing back

Suppose you think Conor Cleary is better ?

Total and utter rubbish by the way. you have a bizarre fixation on him. Maybe due to him saving alot of his best performances for Clare.

250K a year from SV and 400K from SD are good but JP alone is doing multiples of them Tony. And I think it fair to say that Cork County Board has much bigger financial issues than Limerick county board. We've two serious IC teams to try to put in the field, a much bigger player base (26K v 18K) to try to acomodate, and a cripling stadium debt.

The total debt for the Cork GAA (including the county board and Páirc Uí Chaoimh stadium) stands at €30.868 million. [1]
This figure consists of:

• • €12.1 million in bank debt
  • €18.7 million owed directly to Croke Park

By contrast

Limerick GAA does not report a significant accumulated debt in its financial accounts. Instead, the Limerick County Board consistently operates with healthy financial figures, posting a surplus of over €600,000 at their latest convention, despite inter-county team expenditures exceeding €2 million.



I reiterate, money alone is not the reason, but having a huge surplus of money can smooth over a lot of cracks. I don't think it's any coincidence that JP's "financial doping" as some have called it coincided with Limericks astounding level of success. There's been a great synergy fueled by that financial clout imho.

Cork spent 2.2 million last year preparing intercounty teams. In my opinion it's very hypocritical of us therefore to be sniping about money spent on successful teams. You can argue that Cork have a more prominent football team but last year our footballers went out very early and Limerick made a Tailteann Cup final as far as I remember.

Everyone agrees that the McManus sponsorship has helped Limerick hugely but it's not even near the biggest factor in their current dominance. That is an emergence of a generation of superb players arriving at the same time as a brilliant backroom. There's McManus stuff is the icing on the cake.

Cork flew up to Donegal for the football and it was credited by some with them winning, I didn't hear anyone saying the plane was the reason they lost to Mayo after flying to the QF.

Clare have a far better chance of winning an All Ireland in 2027 than Cork.

The clare team needs a bit of a tweak here and there.
we got 3 really good new lads in this year in Rynne O Farrell and Stritch
losing O Donnell alright and maybe Conlon + Mcinerney but thats not certain.
Conlon is late 30s but on the other hand he lives in clonlara and has a coffee shop and a gym in the clon gaa grounds
his wife is also a top class hurler with Truagh Clonlara and she works in a primary school 30 mins from their house.
he had a good enough year
i dont see a huge amount of lifestyle pressure to quit

Mcinerney could nearly jog to caherlohan to train and he looked in great shape so the same thing would apply to him in terms of pressures and he is the same age
In fact if people actually looked at the limerick and clare squads carefully the numbers on the birth certs might adjust thinking

plus we have no mental barriers to playing in croke park

Lol
Based on all available data and results over the last 2 seasons it's going to take more than, Stritch, Rynne, Conlan's top class hurler wife and McI jogging to Caherloan to put ye in with a "far better chance" of winning an AI than Cork.

Essentially your best players are aging out simultaneously.
One of the very best is gone.
The S&C of the Clare +30s doesn't come within an asses roar of Limerick’s.
You're genuinely deluded if you think it does.
We don't have any issues with the age of our squad and we have a fair amount to look at in terms of adding to the squad.
Smart decisions could bring us on from an already strong base.

Clare have not beaten this Limerick team in a championship final, in a knockout game or any game of significant consequence. Never in CP.
We have.
Clare won't do so next year either.
You won't be lucky enough that someone else will do ye the favour of knocking them out for ye .....
As for your overall CP record - Clare have imploded twice against a bog standrad KK, finally squeaking past em in '24. Took ET, a missed jersey pull and a performance for the ages from TK and SOD to get past Cork (the team with an alleged CP problem), lost to Lim in a SF where ye couldn barely get a score on the board for the second half.

So ye might not fear CP, but the ol record there isn't exactly awe inspiring.

Like I said- a wild card

Only for that wanker Fitzgerald he would have been doing it in Clare.

Kinnerk's a smart guy. He moved onto much bigger and better things.

Hello Danny here. Good points on your fitness levels but I simply can’t agree and Choco Mouse wouldn’t either. I think next year will see Corcaigh, Luimneach and Tiobraid Arann come through.

Shorts or skorts I suppose!

Best free taker i've seen in Cork recently is Jack Leahy

He's a fella we need up and running next year with a string of games

Lack of a good free taker wasn’t the issue the last day.

Plenty of players can take frees… Mark Coleman, Tim, Barrett, Barry Walsh.

Jack should be given a shot in the league, and not 30 minutes and that’s it.

 

[bluesball]

Can we run with Jack and William i doubt it
