Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[leeside_rebel]

SOD manhandled Gillane and recklessly/needlessly gave way the penalty. Regardless of whether Gillane held his hurley or not, was there any need for that from SOD?

There was need, because otherwise gillane could gather clean possession unopposed. For long enough people are complaining about cork not being physical in the tight stuff

dont think anyone is claiming a moral victory, great effort, hope Hoggie is back next year. Not his best game but I wouldnt have taken Kingston off especially when we always needed another goal.

He was left on too long imo

And he might score a goal as opposed to conceding a penalty? How many penalties have we conceded so far this C'ship and how many have the opposition scored/missed?

Genius stuff leeside.

Well done to the referee, great performance for Limerick yet again. Fair dues to all the Cork fans that travelled outnumbered the Limerick fans at home.

Cork got double the frees limerick got. A few of them were very soft. Limerick got a soft penalty. That's how things go!

Leave the referee crybaby softie Cork stuff off for a change fellas. We lost by a point, regardless of the ref. Beyond embarrassing at this stage.

Can’t fault the Cork team today . Gave it everything and we lost by a point. Nothing for them to be embarrassed about, and they showed their usual fight and resilience! Referee didn’t help!

When Limerick make a habit of full frontal charges on Cork forwards, referee has no option but award a free. In a one point game, margins are obviously very fine, and awarding a penalty at a crucial time, without consulting the umpires is a damning indictment of the referee!

Yes a penalty was awarded.
But he didn't actually concede a penalty, he defended it correctly. Ref called it wrong, players make a decision on what to do assuming ref will pick up on what actually happens. No matter what way you look at it it's a proven fact on camera that hurley was held, which is a free out. So ref was incorrect

You can comment on the ref without blaming the loss on him.

Biased but thought Kingston was decent in the first half before fading off a bit in the second-half. Think it was a shame that Alan Cadogan wasn’t introduced in the second half with the heat and the speed of the game. He could have offered more than Lehane in my opinion.

Overall a decent first year under Pat Ryan, where Declan Dalton has been the big addition to the team. This is a long term project and hopefully we will see the introduction of more of the young guys next year. The likes of Eoin Downey, Shane Kingston (defender from 20s), Sam Quirke, Ethan Twomey, Ben Cunnigham, Diarmuid Healy and Sean Twomey are the type of physical and hard-working players we will need if we are to close the gap on Limerick.
