Cork Hurlers - Part 2

jaysus that’s awful for him. Weakens cork too. I suspected he’d be a starter.

Crazy number of top level hurlers have done the cruciate recently. We’ve had more than our fair share in Limerick. Some like Finn twice. Best wishes to the lad.
Is it a case of over training and bodies are strained to the limit?

Remember hearing a doc speak on it when sean finn did his. Think it's down to the nature of the sport ,hurling and football is full of sharp turns and twists. Players jump for a ball and are twisting to move away on impact with the ground.same with close marking twists and turns to get away from markers.
Runners ie athletes etc going in straight lines don't suffer to same extent

I'm sure that interview could have been on Radio 1.

I remember listening to it and a few things that jumped out at me,
Australia due to AFL and Ireland due to GAA have the highest incidents of ACL injuries in the world per head of population.
Women and young girls are more susceptible to ACL injuries then men.
Since AFL and Aussie government have started seriously promoting women's aussie rules in 2016 ACL injuries have sky rocketed by 140%
A girl is 40 times more likely to have a reoccurrence of an ACL injury.

Heard of couple camogie and ladies footballers done their acl 3 times!!
 
Bad week for the forward divison - Cunningham (who would 100% have been in the squad, and in the mix for match day squads), Lehane and Power. So the inside forward line for now is Hayes, Connolly, Hoggie... ROF needs a spin there for sure, and needs to show some form. After that it's Kingston, Jack O'C etc. - not at same level.

Might be time to get creative with the likes of Fitzgibbon, Coleman and Healy - we need our best hurlers on the field and we're looking well covered in places like half back and midfield now but light in terms of forwards that will consistently win a ball, shoot accurately, tackle effectively.

I'd agree with others re Sean Desmond. Himself and Adam Murphy are strong ball-winners and consistent scorers - they're definitely worth throwing into the mix. Last Saturday night was impacted by the weather but that level of physicality and scrapping is par for the course at this level, we've 4 or 5 in the panel that are lost in that environment. Small bit worrying.
 
You obviously have a chip on your shoulder when you usually start with insults before making your point but there's a few more on here like you.

I never referred to the additional time on here but believe your reference to 30 seconds is comical and you don't even acknowledge the momentum and flow of the game is stopped at a time Cork are on top, also the ref had to address Limerick players before each free and you don't even account for this on the stop watch, when Ciaran Joyce complained he got a straight yellow but when Kyle Hayes complained we see dialoogue to delay the free and no card, this was regular from Limerick players, I remind you Cian Lynch is the Limerick captain. We have a Limerick water boy entering the Cork dugout area mouthing his head off at Cork management before the issue is addressed by a linesman, we saw the same from Paul Kinnerk last year also against Cork, not to mind the carry on of Kiely like an anti-christ. We don't see this from Cork management. It doesn't surprise me you condone this from Limerick after your defence of Terence Fahy last year at U-20 level, Clare are at this carry on for years with Loughnane kicking a ball away when Barry Egan was taking a sideline and Lohan at half-time in last years AI final. Cork were 1st to the ball more often than Limerick and then hit so it's obvious Limerick were fouling more and the ref should give more frees to Cork. Clare didn't get frees in the 2nd half of last years final but all the big calls went against Cork, widely acknowledged by Joanne Cantwell, Eamon Sweeney and even Brian Gavin but denied by Shane Dowling, Dalo and Donal Og. The only calls for illegal handpasses on Saturday night were against Cork, this was the same in the AI semi last year that cost Cork a goal and 2 points. In an earlier post you defended keeping the throw. The only ripping of Jerseys was done by Limerick and the only merited sending off wasn't carried out and should be at least a 6 month ban for Flanagan but you maintain the ref favoured Cork, jokeshop! Yes the ref gave a soft free at the death to make a draw of the game after he had a stinker and Limerick were left off the hook again with their antics. It is not often Tom Kenny speaks out and says the ref had a stinker and mentions unfortunately most of his calls went against Cork.

Regarding your other post I have been very critical of Mark Coleman as a defender and have always stated on here the management should not play him in defence but using him for Sean O'Donoghue's inadequacies when the issue in the addressed post was physicality is farcical by you to say the least. A big run across his own goal and no effort to make contact on an opponent at the point of danger by the most experienced and physically strongest defender as captain of the team has to be highlighted as his error only. It contradicts what you regularly state on good hurlers v good defenders, give me Millerick over O'Donoghue any day.

How Sean Desmond is not ahead of some of the forwards listed in the panel is a mystery to me anyway. Not going to name names as they are all doing their best for the red and white. Was he asked?? He plays soccer also and may not want to give that up.
With Pádraig Power, Séamus Harnedy, Ben Cunningham and Conor Lehane out inured, I would expect to see the likes of Seán Desmond and Adam Murphy drafted in. You might also see Jack Leahy, Brian O'Sullivan and Alan Walsh get a look in once the Fitzgibbon Cup concludes.
