Fitzgibbon/Sigerson

Mellerick, Downey, Barrett and Hayes came out with credit. Big reputations shredded else where. Pat Ryan's hands are tied given the limitations he's working with.

Thought all 4 took shocking decisions at times.
First 3 were decent overall but I'd have taken Hayes off well before full-time

I feel fight and intensity is either in a fella or it isnt, can not be coached,

I disagree, not every fella in Kilkenny automatically has that but Cody when he was there made sure any fella pulling on the jersey had it - whether force of personality or training via the Nowlan park no whistle training they developed it and it seems they have kept that up.
Of course the other side of it was that fellas had to perform and in the top counties they have to perform, this by its nature makes fellas fight harder….in cork it has been harder to get dropped over gettingn selected, we’ll see over the next few months of that lesson has been leaned

The Corkness disease is rife. Get cleaned in the tippy tippy dance out of defence and persisting. Fucking Insanity

An almighty collapse. As you say, the Corkness disease is rife. You could see that there was too many Cork hurlers on that team

Only managed to tune into this 7 mins into second half. UCC led 15 points to 11 at thus point.
From this point on to the final whistle absolutely no UCC player came out with credit.
It was abject stuff for that last 25 minutes.
I can't comment on the first 37 minutes but it's kind of irrelevant when a team collapses in the last 25 and ends up getting beaten out the gate.

It should be easy for PRyan to finalise his panel - just forget about our non-tacklers

How did Saunderson perform - he’s being strongly mooted to be our number one number one this year

By who? Collins will be goal for the championship bar an injury

Therein lies the problem. The young lad is a miles better keeper but will have to wait his turn.
I read an echo report how Collins had a great game the weekend, you’d have to wonder what the agenda there is. He had one good save but his distribution was awful. I could play short to a man when there’s 10 in our own half but that hardly makes me special.

Saw that as well and thought it was a strange article but Brion is not miles better than him and it's nonsense to say so.

Low direct ball tonight and a fantastic save, nothing he could do about the goal. I think you may be wrong.
