Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[BBAWS.]

Some stories of tickets coming back to Cork now.........

I’ve had good joy outside of Cork the last 3 days sourcing 4 tickets separately. They’re out there alright so hopefully some will start coming back locally.

Limerick continuing to take it well

Boo who? Will the Clare hurlers get the same Cork treatment as Limerick?

Cork don’t need these cheap wins to get over the line

RIP, Kevin Cashman.
A great journalist

Rest in Peace Kevin. You were one of the great guys.

A great journalist who’d forgotten more about hurling than most of what passes these days as journalists will ever know.

A brilliant wordsmith with a superb sense of humour. I was honoured to have known him and as previously said, his article alone was worth the price of a newspaper

From east Cork and living on the Northside of the Lee, I never quite understood his fondness for the Rockies but Kevin was always a maverick, and though he wouldn’t always toe the editorial line, and frequently fell out of favour with editors, he inevitably was taken back such was his knowledge, wit, and wordsmithery about a game we all love, and in my case Kevin was one of those that instilled the love.

Condolences to his family and friends

In 1990 John Fitzgibbon scored 2 goals in the Munster final, 2 goals in the All Ireland semi final and 2 goals in the All Ireland final. At the All Star awards Mick Dunne interviewed him on TV and quoted his scoring record, then asked Firzgibbon what the highlight of the year was for him? The answer.... "Visiting Elvis's home in Graceland!!" Brilliant!!!

And Johnny also got Goal of the Season!

The look on Larry Tompkins face at that response was a picture. Happy days

I dislike those who boo a free taker in an amateur game, but not as much as I despise those who cheer a wide. And some Cork fans do it, but let’s not pretend Limerick fans don’t do it either.
It alas seems to have crept into all county support at this stage. But hand on heart the first time I really noticed it was when Cork played Kirry in the AIF and Gooch gave an exhibition.
I was in good seats in the Cusack Stand with a few Cork supporters and we couldn’t get over the Kerry fans nearby who to a man were cheering every Cork wide. Weird!

I’ve an uncle that I want to give a ticket to but he doesn’t have a smartphone.

Tickets are in apple wallet but can’t see an option to print hard copy?

Any nerds have a solution?

I don’t boo but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest either way. It’s part of the spectacle. This idea that it’s “creeping in” is demented. I can remember it being done wholesale in the 80s. Do we really want to go down the road of the self-regarding rugby stuff? You’d suspect if Limerick are down for a while the managing editor of the Limerick leader might head back to their natural habitat of Two mint Pork.
