To be honest, this match didn’t matter. Limerick were very poor against Clare (although the wind fucked the game), and apparently Cork weren’t great against Clare either.
Both sides are through, this really starts now and it’s good to have two games under your belt to identify flaws in the system. Both sides have players to come back, was delighted to see POD (even though he didn’t really do a whole pile) & John Kirby back for Limerick, we’ll need both.
Hogan & Walsh will presumably start next week anyway which will strengthen Cork a bit, and if Flynn makes it too, that will make a big difference. Is Daire O’Leary definitely still out for next week, obviously the Cork seniors don’t have a game? It’s tough with someone like O’Connor; obviously not 100% committed yet but you don’t want to lose him completely either, it’s probably worth having him on the panel at least.
I thought Brian O’Sullivan started really well but when Limerick started to get on top on the Cork long puckouts, Cork needed their midfield to win a few more breaks, Quilty was very dominant I felt. We actually struggled on the Cork short puckout early on and Cork got a few scores from working it out. We squeezed up a bit further then and had a lot of joy.
Not surprised by the U-20 result, they looked poor against Clare, and the set up of the team is clearly off. Wouldn’t expect them to get a result against Tipp in Thurles.
Shrewd bit of business by sports direct and mike Ashley sponsoring cork gaa. 2nd largest population in Ireland, dual county and passionate about gaa. Guaranteed to sell jerseys with his logo all over it but sticking in a bonus for winning AIs, brilliant. He uses cheap labour and cheap advertising. Cork surely has the largest gaa jersey sales in the country
Ive nothing on ex cork hurlers, i know a few and are salt of the earth. But youve completely missed my point that the cork county board have sold the supporters out for a song to be a massive walking billboard for one of the most awful businesses in Ireland and the UK. How fo you feel when you see how Sports Direct treat their workers and viscously oppose unionisation for their rights.
I didn’t reply to that post, but as you mention it it seemed like nonsense likebait based around the premise of Ashley paying out an All Ireland winning bonus as nonsensical.
Ah, that’s a pity
Because I really appreciated that little pat on the head, bad winners but good losers.
We must have been intolerable up until 17 years ago,
That’s a completely pointless (but true) observation as a response to this conversation.
But you’ve attracted the attention of the biggest wanker on the forum he’s loving this so I’d rather not give him the satisfaction, have a good day, hope you’re enjoying work this week
It is their identity. They will be back to thomond now in a few years for another bandwagon. But sure isn’t it better than having them at home bating the wives
