According to the graphic there Joe Cooney is 5 foot 7 and 11 stone. I’d say he was when he was 12.

The old Galway disease there. Hitting wides for fun.
Lovely bit of hockey there from Gerry Mc
Dozy collection of Waterford umpires waved that Martin Naughton goal effort wide.
You don’t reckon Kilkenny were a factor no?

Tony Keady suspension in 1989 cost Galway 3 in a row, for sure. They really fucked this one on 1990 away. 1-17 to 1-10 ahead at the 50 minute mark and should have double that. Galway with 14 wides to 6 for Cork at that’s stage.
Corks Corkness was a big factor in this win you feel.

Donie Cassidy and his Irish jig there behind Mul there for the speech
It was. Galway rightly fucked it up though. They should have got Brendan Lynskey on a lot earlier. I didn’t even know Anthony Cunningham was playing until Canning said Lynskey had replaced him.
Kevin Hennessy was a real match winner for Cork. Kept them in it with his scores in first half and set up the 3rd and 5th goals. Galway full back line with Sylvie and Conor Hayes retiring after 1989 was very weak.
Galway’s Galwayness no little factor either .

Cunningham was a great lad to score 3-3 against Waterford in a league quarter final but was like a rabbit in the headlights on the big days.

Sombrero Cyril leading the Cork celebrations.
He was like that on the sideline too. Stood there like a statue in the second half of 2012 drawn final and 2015 final as Galway fucked away winning positions.
Sounds like we were fucked over by the ref, thanks lads.
In fairness to ye ye gave a good sporting account of yereselves and didn’t disgrace yereselves the way ye did in 1989.

1990 football final on now.
It should also be acknowledged that the Waterford Adjudicator, John Moore did a much better job than his Wexford counterpart, John Denton in 1989.
Lovely dig in the head there by Colm O’Neill to Mick Lyons but sadly the referee sees it and he’s sent off.

He’s lucky the ref saw it. Mick would have made sure to get him back and more
