The Gaelic Football Thread

[West Cork Gaol]

Depressing stuff and hard to watch. Closely related to rugby league sometimes and basketball on grass the remainder of the time.
It resembled an old testament bible lesson the ARC got so much airtime.
How Gavin, Fitzmaurice, Horan and Collins can claim an improvement in this game defies logic.
If Corbett get's back to full fitness and Cathal O Mahony likewise, Cork forwards will trouble Kerry a lot more than Mayo did today.
All we need is a decent long distance shooter to avail of those 2pointer opportunities.

Give us a break on Corbett. The lad was away off it past 2 year , mentally weak for senior intercounty , easy to bully as Tom O Sullivan did last year, Tom saunters up the field and scores 3 points from play and with 5 minutes remaining Corbett couldn't give a 5m hand pass for Cork to score a goal to level the game.I think Cleary realised that and he then got no or little game time in the All-Ireland series He was a great minor but this is senior football. Jones , Cronin McDonnell Hurley are far superior for our inside line. Cleary plays 3 midfielders/defenders/ workers, serious runners on our half forward line this is not in Corbetts locker. Sadly He ain't the messiah for Cork football , a talent he is but

A few of Robbie Brennan's selectors are after walking away from the Meath set up - including Joe McMahon, and their coach.

They had a good run in the league, but Brennan comes across as a complete pole axe.

Brennan’s rant a couple of weeks ago. The 2 boys wouldn’t stand for that garbage I’d say

It was lame stuff indeed. Hard to see what the new rules are doing to improve the game. Kerry breaking from defence with much greater speed, along with better finishing (always Mayo's weak point) were the difference.

Can Corbett toughen up, or is such a change uncommon?

I enjoyed the other 3 league finals much more than div 1. Monaghan have probably been the team of the whole league.

I never said he was a robust footballer and agree with some of West Cork's summary. Wouldn't pay much heed to Tom Sullivan scoring 3 points as he does that regularly while marking forwards with a higher profile than Corbett.
I remember Corbett giving one of those 5 yard passes to Rory Maguire who scored a goal on the run with a hand push. My favorite hate BTW.
For what it's worth, he has worked his way back from two cruciate injuries and has a football brain second to none.
These new rules might suit a forward like him and I'd be happy to give him another shot at making it.
It's all a matter of opinion of course and doctors differ while patients die.

A excerpt fromJack O’Connor’s managerial record.

• All-Ireland Senior Football Championship:
  • Winner (4): 2004, 2006, 2009, 2022
• National Football League:
  • Winner (4): 2004, 2006, 2009, 2022, 2025.

Missing the key ingredient this year that his last 4 All-Irelands had - Tyrone as reigning champions.

 

[Yorkman]

Hate championship football in April, am an old fart so it just doesn’t feel right, especially when matches are fixed for 12.30 pm on a Saturday (I know it’s because of the women’s match).

Bring back Cork Kerry in June/July.
