To repeat:Except the ref was really slow dishing out cards so it worked in spades. The issue i
You can fire abuse about all you like and behave like a spoiled toddler but the facts are there.
Offaly broke through cork rugby tackled
When Mullins breaks through the Offaly number 6(red helmet left handed hurler) has 3 choices
1 shoulder to the chest
2 rugby tackle
3 attempt to dispossess
He does the latter with zero conviction.
So the contention that Offaly would do the same just isn't true.
He had a clear opportunity to take Mullins out and didn't.
Now you can cry and whinge about it as much as you like but cork stepped over the line repeatedly in the game and you have said above that you are thrilled about the way they won.
That's a completely valid honest position to take.
There is a hardness about this cork team that could serve them well.
What you can't have is for everyone else who saw the same game agreeing with you that the ref was right.
Kingston should have been yellow carded for the first foul on screeney and gone after the penalty
Howell should have been yellow carded after the 2nd deliberate foul on screeney.
It was weak refereeing.
The sending off would have completely changed the game because it would either have taken away the cover on screeney or given Offaly 6 on 4 at the back.
Now toddle off and watch Mullins goal and explain again where the 6 had no chance to take him out

The irony of a Clare man coming in to tell us off about physicality from our U20 team when the Clare senior team will once again be leading the way in the dirtbag derby stakes in the game v Limerick on Sunday.
Just as they did in the round robin game that they squeaked by a point, and the drawn game from last year.
Y'know the one where the ref "swallowed the whistle" in order to keep it 15 v 15.
Ain't nobody here condoning or endorsing the head high tackle. Nobody.
But nobody is going to back down and apologise for any of the other on the edge stuff that went on.
It goes on in every single game from Clare so lay off with the hypocrisy and guidance for Cork to play "nice"
We'll do that when everyone else is held to that standard, as we know just how much that would benefit us
