I can confirm that. I presume you got your information from the one they call “the fixer”.
[quote=“caoimhaoin”]Nothing i have said here has been made up, but i’ll wait for your apology when it comes out from some sort of reputible
source over the next few weeks/months. I accept that a forum can’t provide this, and that i have no way of proving anything, but then again who does on the Internet in a situation like this?
The reason i was asking about did you play was to get your opinion on winning. Have you ever won a county, or even further up a Munster or something. If you did you would know there are so many things needed to go right for you to win, and people need to be pulling in the same direction. Do you agree?
If not please give me a good example of a team who won when certain people (in their own corner) didn’t want them to succeed.[/quote]
the main protagonists would be better served by giving their all to the current manager, they didn’t do that last year, he didn’t suit them we are told by some apologists.
for all to be pulling together you need a bunch of players who are willing to row in with a manager, to respect him ,to trust him, some will say they don’t now but the truth is they never did, so it works both ways, they decided he wasn’t the man for them so they didn’t give 100% to cork, they should have walked away then but they didn’t, they had too much to lose.
of course this is all my own opinion, i didn’t hear it down the pub, its not something i overheard from someone who drives past p u c when the langers are training and its not a rumour i read on the net, its my opinion. you should try using yours sometime and stop trying to make yourself sound important by claiming to have insider knowledge albeit passed 3 or 4 times from source

WTF…what are you trying to say?.. that there is fellas giving up their time for donkeys years on the Cork county board just to insure they don’t win anything?..maybe they just clash with certain players as they see the bigger picture that Cork County board has more than one team to run with limited resources so each team can’t have everything they want…
WTB - absolutely my interpretation of what is in fact going on here. The CCB came up with a way of having a war with the players, while appearing to be neutral. Ger Mac gets handed the task, and more fool him, he jumped at it. The fact that Sean Og hasn’t responded may well be Sean Og realising that the quieter he is, the better he’ll be. Let Ger Mac keep issuing statements that are frankly looking more and more desperate. Not befitting a man like Ger.
I can’t see how the current Cork team will be on the field for the championship next year. The GAA should sack the CCB now and let fresh minds come in and sort out the mess. Absolutely fucking ridiculous the whole thing.
Bit like HBV and Caoimhin. Will the two of you get a room please?
I don’t think the Co board are donating their lives in the hope that Cork don’t win anything but I think they want to win on their archaic terms and conditions. They are unwilling to change and modernise and listen to the people who oppose the traditional point of view. I may be wrong but this seems to particularly apply to the administration of the senior hurling team.
I remember reading way back in JBM’s time that the methods employed by the footballers were streets ahead in terms of preparation. But I only read it in a paper so I don’t know how true it is.
As for P ui C, should be bull dozed. I don’t know how there are aren’t more rows there when the players walk to the dressing rooms through the supports.
[quote=“caoimhaoin”]Hey who rattled your cage. HBV just struts out with the anti-cork shite all the time, and he hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about most of the time, i don’t know why he bothers to be honest.

You’re information isnt exactly standing up to scrutiny either, so to say he doesnt have a clue is fucking funny.
Didn’t think this site was much for diplomacy in the first place.
Most guys here have some idea what they are on about
So if someone has an internet connection he knows what hes talking about?! Have you never been on Reservoir Dubs?! Have you not met the corncrake?!
and know about as much about Cork hurling as i know about Rugby, Soccer etc, a fair bit, but not totally into it. HBV is not in this group.
You mean Sean Og when you say Oige, correct?
No, I meant Donal g, Sen g is rarely if ever referred to as ige, rookie error.

I agree to a large extent with your first paragraph. But they were hardly not putting it in against Clare, Galway and Killkenny.
On the 2nd paragraph, i have voiced my opinion about this situation way back, and i’m fairly sick of it, i was defending the players to keep some balance here.
I have always said all 3 sides are incredibly out of tune. My opinion is the players are right not to accept Ger Mac, he has been pushed into this y the CCB with promises of Hurling acadamies etc, all lip service. I disagree with the way everybody has handled this, but i believe the CCB is most to blame.
No, for years they were delighted to bask in the glories, but thats when they had total control, and players were afraid to speak up about shabby treatment. The treatment of the Cork footballers in particular was woeful.
Times have changed and people expect more for the time they give up, thats the reality, we are all like that now.
The CCB refuse to accept that, and the concessions (there shouldn’t even be a need to use that word) they gave in 2002 they now want back.

You’re information isnt exactly standing up to scrutiny either, so to say he doesnt have a clue is fucking funny. - We’ll just have to wait and see, your not very specific, which points exactly? Do you believe HBV really understands the workings of the CCB?
So if someone has an internet connection he knows what hes talking about?! Have you never been on Reservoir Dubs?! Have you not met the corncrake?! - True enough, but i was talking about the general good contributors (and i was including you actually)
No, I meant Donal g, Sen g is rarely if ever referred to as ige, rookie error. - You haven’t been to many Cork games have you? I don’t know the man other than playing against him, but i have heard him called that for 16,17 years. Donal Og is hardly ever call Oige, it’s always Donal Og and/or Cusack. You surely will have some Cork friend at work or somewhere that can confirm that you are “talking through your hole” here.
Take a trip out to Cloyne and see whos talking through his hole.
Fucking hell.

In fairness i nearly always read your posts and agree, or at least understand where your coming from, but i can’t understand why you are going on about this.
Firstly who gives a fuck, secondly your wrong.

Fooking rough spot, don’t go near it
Hard to be accepted there i heard!!
I tried to be once, it didnt take.
The Cork Co Board are further embarrassing themselves by re classing the team the play in the Colman’s challange as a development squad. Another flagrant breach of the rules, and according to the indo they’re training tonight which isn’t allowed either.
Couldn’t every county therefore form a development squad and train in the Nov/Dec “close season” then? Who’s to say what a squad is for next year if the management hasn’t finalised it.
What a shower of cunts.
What about Teddy McCarthy? Will he be appointed as a selector to both senior teams and never actually get to pick a team. That would be funny. Given some comments he made last year I can’t imagine he is exactly a reconciling voice.
The accent would give you away MBB
Your either one of them or not, a bit like all of Waterford really.

You should see him on the sideline, he’ll die some day on that sideline.
Ya, i know one very good hurler who took ages to get on the Senior team, he was a Cork minor (and a good one) who married into the parish and moved down, took 2 years to get a game, even though he was clearly better than a number of players on the team.
There is a very nice resturant in the Village, can’t think of the name now.
At this point Gerald would be better served to worry more about Teddy’s plans and ambitions than the intentions of any of the players.
