Cork U20 hurlers 2026

[red&blue]

I wonder has anyone one considered the fact that Craig O Sullivan may have got injured as well.

was he?

 

[Phantom81]

are you actually condoning what they done to Craig O Sullivan? A mistake? seriously?

oh great we are playing the what have you done for your club and county card? Alot more than you think but that is non of your business anyway

no one is doubting the time they have put in but alot on here are doubting their management and coaching skills so lets thank them for their time and efforts and move them on so we can get back to competing at underage level again

By the way we had a Cork guy on tv about a decade ago pontificating about a lack of high standards in Cork GAA. Where are his high standards now?

What happened to Craig wasn’t good and all the management would agree, but their was number of factors to why it happened. Craig was told the reason and while disappointed he understood why it happened.

I think you’re doubting their management and coaching skills, you don’t like them (and thats fine) but you came on here the other day saying they shouldn’t be left near a cork team again!! you were just waiting them to lose and straight out with the daggers.

I don't know but neither does anyone else here, hence my post.

is this fact or you just heard it third hand? what were the factors?

they shouldnt, they have had enougn chances at this stage, nothing to do with me not liking them, they just should be held to the high standards one of them stated live on national television a few years back, their term is up, thank them and move them on and let someone like Fergal McCormack have a go

Donovan was smart enough to know how Frank controlled Cork Gaa for as long as he wanted
For Donovan to keep full control he knows it's just a Rinse & Repeat job
He has the board & delegates firmly in his back pocket

A new voice with new ideas is what Cork Gaa badly needs.

Can anyone justify one man controlling Cork Gaa for a long period of time again?

i thought KOD was supposed to be that new voice?

Between Coaching Officer / Vice Chairman / CEO he's been 10 years at the top table
And before that in Coaching roles I think he was around when Rebel Og & Development Squad were setup (it's very debatable if these have improved Cork Gaa)

I think that new voice is becoming a bit old now

ah right so you’re looking for someone to run GAA who has no experience of Cork GAA?

The one thing i'll give him is he gave up his paid GDA job to take the voluntary position of coaching officer at the time because he felt he could do more good there.

I dealt with him on a few issues while he was in that position and he was great. His passion for the job was obvious and he went above and beyond to assist.

Ive been very underwhelmed with some of the CCB decisions in recent years....but ultimately a lot of those decisions being made with the debt hanging over them.

I do think its time for a change though. Nobody should be in the role more than the 7 year term imo.
