Downey is nowhere near an intercounty full back. Billy Ryan roasted him against Kk for 45 minutes. He won a few balls then and next thing he was the best thing since sliced bread. Sham Flan had him on toast today and only for his touch was off a few times would have destroyed him altogether

The killer was the Limerick half backs had so much time to pick the ball into the full forwards in the first half. It was almost cruelty watching it.

Ah ya to be fair to Downey Flanagan was galloping into an acre. Not a lot you can do. But he couldnāt keep with him at all

The Gillane goal was comical defending after Sham won the ball Downey left Gillane to drift into an ocean of space

The only sickener I have for sham flan is I had a 5er on him to score a hatrick.
Any donāt mind the money. Seamus is the Feohanagh Jesus. I pray to our Lord every day to score over the shoulder and deliver us to Liam. Eamonn

The handpass over the shoulder and the flick into his hand on the turn. ICONIC

If they leave Downey full back for the next 5 years it would be dreamland as he is as slow as cruise liner going for a turn. They need a full back with at least a semblance of pace. He is brutal.

IMO Joyce should be centre back next year but donāt know what weāll do about full back. I donāt give a shit how young Joyce is, heās made of the right stuff and we need a true 6. Coleman to midfield where he will blossom.
Spillane perhaps for fullback if he comes back in good health? We simply donāt have the options at full back. The likes of OāLeary and Lyons are great prospects to look forward to at FB in time but not for a while.
I thought that NOL and SOD were hung out to dry today. Impossible to defend those Limerick forwards with 30 yards of space in front of them, and the likes of Hayes delivering ball inside with the freedom of Croke Park. Soul destroying to see Kyle Hayes receiving a puc out with loads of space around him.

If you read my post earlier youāll see that Iām not sour at all. Limerick were truly awesome.
Donāt worry I know how good Limerick are. I just felt Cork got several things wrong that played into Limericksā hands. Even at our best we would have been well beaten, but it would have been nice to stay competitive for longer.

I found it utterly shocking the way Cork approached the game tactically, it was as if they were not expecting Limerick to target the fullback line. But maybe it didnāt matter ultimately as they were beaten in every position on the field.
