Cork u20 Hurling 2024

This attitude that permeates through Cork GAA is killing us.
This is not 'support'. Yet you call yourself a supporter.

So lads not complaining about referees on an anonymous internet forum is whats killing us?

I'd a grand night. Thanks.
Im genuinely amazed at the amount of our own, once again sweeping a biased referee performance under the carpet.
"Lads, we were rode without lubricant, but lets be good little gaa citizens and not make an issue out of it. There, there".
It is very clear why this happens to us so often.

There should be unanimous agreement that Cork were rode last night, like manys a time before. We should be collectively seethimg about it.
But we get the opposite, a load of infighting. (Nicely stoked by our resident Clare, Limerick, Kilkenny trolls as and when needed).
Other counties unite behind shite like this. It feeds them.
In Cork, it drives a wedge. Like the strikes all over again.
Half of us say "enough of us being taken advantage". The other half saying "please dont stop riding us".

In fairness, you are some clown.

A waterford man in here? The Cork u20 hurling thread. Makes sense.

are you nuts?

I am reading through the topic and while the rage is understandable its a bit rich.
Even with this under 20 group

24
wrong red card for Keane
Clear foul on gunning before the decisive goal in the semi final
23
2nd yellow not given to Ben O connor v Clare munster final
Clear red card not given to Kingston V Offaly

the decision on the goal was ludicrous last night but other than that the refereeing was completely even.

Cork are not being blagarded

‘completely even’

You’re comparing one or two incidents in games where Cork were clearly the better team and both teams got plenty of decisions, to last night where there were about ten marginal decisions that went Tipp’s way in a one point win, between two evenly matched teams. If you honestly believe the refereeing was completely even, show me 8/9 marginal/poor decisions that led to Cork points last night, like the ones posted above. I can think of maybe one.

I don't believe there is a conspiracy or anything like that. I just think there is a wild fluctuation in the quality of refs currently.

Most of the refs to be fair are fairly decent. James Owens is an exception in my opinion, just think he is dreadfully inconsistent. Malone last night was horrendous, as poor as I've seen in awhile,.

There was many reasons Cork lost last night, yes he was one of them but there is/was nothing team or management can do about it. The only thing I can think of really is that the county board convey their unhappiness with his performance back to the Munster Council and maybe that might sway a 50/50 decision our way in a game he refs in the future.

I'd much rather Cork former players and pundits played the same media game as their Kerry and Kilkenny peers ie let the game flow, Kerry pure footballers, not that sort of player etc all that narrative definitely affects refs unconscious bias and plays a role in some decisions but at the same time I'd hate to see a Cork manager be that Pat Ryan or Ben O Connor last night (he was very reserved given the circumstances I felt) behave the way Davy Fitz did last week or the way Brian Cody did after the 2014 All Ireland final.

Couldn't get over Davy Fitz last weekend. Behaving like that after a correct decision had been made. It was nonsensical.
