Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Tricolour]

Surprised so many are claiming that Clare always have our measure

Are some people forgetting that we got a red card ?

John Mullane thinks Cork would have won by 5/7 pts but for the red.

IMO that's a fair conclusion.

Clare do not have our measure and we are a bit ahead of them.

They beat ye twice last year plus 2023 and 22 round Robin games. Albeit most of them narrow margins that could have gone either way.

He's not injured. That seems to be the consensus anyway. He got a knock, it swelled up and caused him difficulty in the second half, but was fine again by Monday and he is back training.

(All updates subject to the caveat that pretty much all information reported here is at least second hand!)

Brilliant news, many thanks.

Is Barrett suspended? How does all that work? If he is then Deccie has to come in I suppose.

I hear some people in Tipp are plotting to remove Joe Caesar from the half back line he would want to watch his back.......

Yes for one match, pending Cork's next move

The swings in the balance of power between Cork and Clare is wild. We couldn't beat them for about 10 years in the 90s, then from 99 on I think apart from the 2013 final they didn't beat us in about 20 odd years, now we can't beat them for love nor money.

That red card was a load of crap. I remember the 2009 Football All Ireland when Nicholas Murphy got a solid intentional elbow to the head from Tadhg Kennelly in front of referee.Nicholas got up, took the free, and nobody was sent off. Reidy dived like he was hit by Katie Taylor!

Now we bringing football into it...
Roy says...never give the ref a decision to make.

This, so much, they've been warned several times, that this year any deliberate contact with the head is a red card. It's been repeated over and over again. Was the contact minimal, absolutely, does it matter, no, unfortunately for Barrett.

Doesn’t matter. If Reidy didn’t roll around and try get Barrett sent off, nothing would have happened. This carry on has crept into the game, and has the potential to destroy it. Reidy should get a suspension for bringing game into disrepute, and Cork should absolutely appeal the ban. I see Cleary had the class to say that Paudie Clifford’s red card was a yellow at best!
