Itâs more fun this way pal. Youâre not that dumb right?
barry Kelly is fucking cat it wasnât the winning or losing of the game but he is so inconsistent
Shanahan was hauled down now penalty Cork got a lot of handy decisions. It wasnt the winning or losing of the game but itâs so frustrating
Christ that was grim. No plan, no heart and no fight. McGrath needs to have a serious look at how he is setting this team up. Even against 14 men we didnât abandon the âsystemâ. Hopefully we get Kilkenny next, time to shit or get off the pot now.
Half of that prediction has already been proven correctâŚ
Thereâs only one part of the prediction thatâs relevant in this context. In fact that post alone justifies rockoâs bookmark function.
Can waterford recover from today
Ah yea Joe
I fully expect them to Joe.
Disappointed I didnât get this prediction right

Well done mate, I called it as well, not sure about our fellow countymen on here, good to know that weâre not in that miserable group who think their lads will lose every fucking match.

Keep the head down and be all generous to our Waterford brethren but we know who the accidents of birth have favoured around here.

Itâs all happening down in Cork these days.
Phenomenal insight from me I thought. Everything about the day was set up exactly the same as 1999. A new Cork team coming in under the radar, a Waterford team burdened by expectation, but that had had a mediocre league, the heat and most especially the confident throng of Cork people. I had a sense of deja vu in the dog track.

Waterfordâs scutter Hurling was never going to work on a day like today. Too exhausting to play like that in the heat for 70 minutes because it based onwork rate, 4 forwards chasing 6 back all day. Corks hurling was much more efficient and was delightful st times. Theyâve become very strong contenders now.
We need to ditch this shite hurling. Itâs day is done.

Agree. The best thing about hurling is that by and large playing very defensively doesnât work
Why has Colin Dunford slipped so far down the pecking order. Himself OâHalleran and Dillon all seem to have gotten a raw deal from McGrath.
Waterford would actually have a decent orthodox forward line if they went out and used them correctly.
While I thought Waterford would win I think it is good for hurling for Cork to win. At the end of the day the speed of thought, speed of touch and speed of strike should always win through rather than the bottling up and slowing down/congestion of the game and in fairness it did today.
Think it will be a very interesting final. Both teams will attack with intent and look to go head on at each other.

I thought McGrathâs statement during the week âif weâre not good enough weâre not good enoughâ was bizarre. I was wondering what coaching ideology he was following there, or had he lost the dressing room. Looks like the latter, waterford were the last question mark in the championship, going by today there is no way they can win it.
McGrath is having the same results as Eoin Kelly did when he quit work to captain them. For gaa lads all of a sudden not having the normality and structure of getting up for work on monday morning (ya know) is obviously hugely disruptive. They go essentially full time without any real preparation on how it will affect them, and no role models for it, unlike professional sports.
Serious scenes here in Cork city⌠The place is buzzing.
