Really? Successful cork teams always built off destroying teams in the FF line
Well in fairness I only remember cork winning two all Irelands and they had that short pick outs and hand passing game.
Cork for pretty much all my life time seemed to have a light and quick type forward.
This year they definitely picked a different type and of game and players a more direct style which I took as a massive compliment to Limerick.
One principal abandoned his post alright.

Once Cork get their fans to behave like rugby fans and stay quiet while a free is being taken then the ultimate transformation will be complete.
I am very disappointed to see the amount of people condoning that behaviour.
It’s absolutely disgraceful.
That’s Norries for you.
Across that 03 to 06 era they had unreal FF lines incl target men like Corcoran and setanta with ben o Connor and Joe deane too…following on from the fitzgibbon, hennessy, Fitzgerald eras…

Nice post incoming
As a young lad I loved John Fitzgibbon. A real flair to get goals and didnt seem to give a fuck what people thought

I read some quote supposedly from him along the lines of he always went for goals as he wouldnt pass to inferior players and that ruled out just about everybody

Lived in Boston for years (maybe still does?) know as God over there.
He does along with his brother Kieran, another Glen stalwart. An absolute legend and my all time favourite hurler.
