Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[SoundMan]

I remember cunningham and yes he made mistakes but he was good enough for Johnny clifford and the canon
so good enough for me,

Nice swerve of the question there again jimmy. Cusack started for Cork in 1996 and was selected for Munster as late as 2012. Are you going to contend that he was "not fit enough to lace the boots of Ger Cunningham" as a goalie. Straightforward question jimmy.

Donal og in 2003 new of his weaknesses and he trained for a good period with Ger Cunningham. If you asked Donal he will tell you G C was the best.
M Coleman was a stranger he would stop[ a bullet @ 100 miles an hour but leave a soft shot in.
POL i think you overated Cummins.

If you asked GC do you think he'd honestly try claim Cusack couldn't lace his boots?

I saw them both in their prime. Both had their faults and their failings. GC certainly had a longer puc but I don' think he was as cute where he pucked it. GC had more presence in goal and was on a par with Cusack for shotstopping. But Cusack was well ahead of GC in terms of bravery imho. I certainly don't think overall either was a whole lot better than the other, and the contention that Cusack couldn't lace Cunningham's boots as a goalie is just errant nonsense.

i think he wore a black cooper but no faceguard. it was definitely after he stopped martin naughtons close range shot cos he was down for treatment after that. the umpire must have been drinking as it clearly couldn't have been a wide ball haha.
i think ger captained the barrs to a county final with blood coming out of his head in 88 as well
he visited the primary school with a black eye on a few occasions if memory serves me right.

Pretty sure that GC started to wear a helmet in goal after a clash in the county in the late 1980s with Glen Rover's (KD for those who remember) where GC ended up requiring stitches in his head. Certainly the first keeper I can remember to wear a helmet.

I love the way Jimmy's post trigger you to pieces, fair play to him. Anyone with slightest glimmer of cop on could see than he made no comparison between either of them bar both making mistakes which every keeper does. So repeating the pointless question just shows you up to be an absolute moron.

Straight from the puck-out Tomas Mulcahy scored a goal at the other end.

So you think it's moronic to repeat a question that someone has obviously swerved?


Interesting.

I remember at the time wondering why on earth the umpire was waving such an obvious deflection wide, and the only conclusion I could come to at the time was he was emphatically saying that it wasn't a goal. Nothing else made any sense either

yah that sounds about right! they beat the glen in the 88 final... same side of the head too iirc

Interesting.

Nope it's moronic to keep asking the question of someone that made no reference to it either way solely because his posts trigger you to bits which is evident across multiple threads here.

I never said cusack wasnt fit to lace GCs boots, I rated Cusack very highly,
