Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Vladimir The Bear]

Still haven't had the heart to watch it back.
Will do so later in the week. Untill I do I just want to add to my post from last night that for the last 15 years we've been crying out for a team with steel, that won't die easily, that fights to the bitter end.
We have that now.
As gutted and all as I am today I still take immense pride in that Cork team, they died in their boots and were carried out on their shields. In terms of effort you can't ask for more then that.
Tim O Mahoney, Sean O Donaghue, Rob Downey and a few more could barely walk off the field when their time came, phenomenonal effort.

Long road ahead again come November but with the character shown yesterday and indeed all summer I fully expect this panel and management to come back better.

They give the same amount for a free then from play

No rucks here just friendly debate.

??Ok, let’s break it down
I’ve teenage grandsons that would point any free inside 50, almost everything inside 65, and a few inside 80.
Take those out.. as any free taker gets those.. what did he score..
Anyway, look let’s not go far with this one tonight.. for another day.
He wouldn’t be on my starting 15 and not for a few years now but I’m thrilled to see him still going. A popular folk hero on Leeside and his interview last week will only cement him even further as a true icon in Cork hurling for me

So, saying a fella that is no longer a starter going on 37 means he's finished? You obviously no nothing about hurling, sport and the English language. Good luck and good night.

Good man Greg run and hide as usual when your point is challenged

Night, night!

If he did it the week before I'm surprised he could run at all. Poor from the management and player really if he was playing with a hamstring injury.

Think the same, that’s what Hoggy said in his interview.

What is there to debate? A referee who it was well known, wasn't fit for purpose, made several awful decisions, which cost us up to 8 points. We lost by a point and and these are the facts.

Better team my hole. Better at what? Shitting the course against Limerick? Hitting brainless wides against us? Having Johnny Murphy in their back pockets?

People in Cork will be talking about Patrick Horgan in 50 years time, regardless of whether or not he wins an All-Ireland. In the same way that someone like Ciaran Carey will be remembered in Limerick long after some of even the modern players with multiple medals. Some players transcend their CV. Patrick is one of them.

He’s worked unbelievably hard his whole life and we are so lucky to get to share in his gift. His goal against Clare in Munster this year was one of the highlights of the year.

It's an unbelievable photo.

We be back , this team is only starting , im hoping this is similar to the loss of 03. I hope they will bottle this loss and remember it next year in championship.

That's the saccharin pill to help get over yesterday, but the fact is we start again next year at the bottom of the hill and with a tougher draw to get out of Munster then this year.
Can we beat Limk or Clare in their home place? Will Tipp find something and come to the Pairc full of piss and vinegar and turn us over like Waterford did in April?...no one knows right now, if we get out of Munster we could open up again and then the rhythm of '04 & '05 might take hold, but we are back to the bottom of the hill again and looking at a steeper climb.
On a different note, does anyone know if there's any chance that Ben O'Connor (Newtown) might join the backroom team next year given he stepped down from the U20 gig, wondering if Donal O'Rourke might be part of whatever Waterford coaching ticket gets ratified, and a coaching position opens up?

Any chance you'd go back boy?
You've dropped enough hints about your former prowess and connections. I assume you're dripping with medals.
