The ref screwed us and if he didn't we may well have won. However, we also screwed ourselves through bad tactics, bad prep and some people not being 100%. You cannot control the first point but you can control the second. This is where energy should be. We were screwed out of a win 2013 too by ref. Why do people refuse to learn lessons and be so naive? For a county like Cork you have to win by margins that the ref can't get you. Once it was a close match like that we were doomed. I'm as angry as anyone else but have learnt through experience that it is wasted energy. That said, I would like our county board to really kick up a fuss behind the scenes. Management, players and fans should move on, but the board should demand so kind of redress and accountability. In terms of our own failings, the biggest disappointment was the failure to stop goals. My biggest white pill going into match was that at least we had some physicality and spine unlike 2013 and clare wouldn't waltz through us again. How wrong I was, it was like deja vu. I can get over the half forward line being cleaned out. Things will go wrong. The failure of management to re adjust is a worry. So lack of steel in defence and slow management response.
