He got two points off McCarthy in the first half, bearing in mind that Cork were well on top and playing with a strong breeze behind them McCarthy did very well considering the amount of ball that was being lobbed in on top of the full backline.
So thatâs 0-02 he conceded in one match, didnât give away a single score against three different markers against Tipp and Honan took him for maybe 1-02 (if you include frees conceded) in the semi final. Not quite the 4-03 Shane OâNeill (who is an excellent player normally) shipped in one match.

And that goal was a pox, could have broken any which way.
If the game was refereed properly the first day, he would have been sent off and Clare won by 10-15 points. He should also have got the line v KK. Poor temperament when under pressure, and tends to react badly with wild and outrageous swings, probably because he was/is unsure/unhinged due to being played out of position and doesnât cope well with the responsibility of the no 3 position.
Clare of course saw this, and exposed him the second day where his direct concession of 15 points from play, 1-3 where he was beaten 1 on 1 was decisive. He was one of the main reasons Cork are not all Ireland champions and certainly not a FB, lack the positional sense, lacks the temperament and as the stakes grew accordingly became more and more exposed
Iâm not that arsed about the All Stars to be honest but the more I think about it the more Iâll be annoyed if Richie doesnât get one. Itâs nothing to do with receiving a token nomination as Munster champions.

Says the man who wonât shut up about OâNeill for full back???
I donât think he will be in contention for an All star but Michael Carton had a very good year for Dublin and was impressed with him especially in their Leinster campaign.
More deluded than a fella who hasnât followed the game for years who just started watching it again this year, who lives on the other side of the world, at the mercy of TV cameras, and stories from a few barstool fans at home? He has JBMâs phone number though and knows development officers in about 20 clubs so I guess that might help.

Harnedy ran the whole Cork offense in the first half. He won frees, missed two goal opportunities, made scores, drove wides. Basically beat McCarthy up a stick who was unquestionably shite before become the spare man. The fact that heâs being touted based on this of all games says it all.
In the same game Declan Hannon took Shane OâNeill for the same total as Harnedy scored - 0-02.
Harnedy did well in the first half but to insinuate he roasted McCarthy or Limerick is just plain wrong. âmissed two goal opportunitesâ and âdrove widesâ is an interesting slant on praising someones performanceâŚ
What gives with all this hasnât watched the game in years. Talk about a slow news day that ye all ran with the fact that I watched more hurling this year than in recent years. Hurling was shit. How would I know this eh? Those Cork-Waterford games a couple of years ago were fucking dreadful. Tipp-KK was good twice. There was one other game in a 3-4 year period that I have vague memories of enjoying. Other than that it was awful.
Stick to charity Mac, humour and debate are not your thing.

So half forward play is all about scores is it?
Harnedy is a leader beyond his years and experience. His timing for the important is uncanny. Unfortunately he didnât have consistent enough support.
I can understand a non-Cork person not seeing what Harnedy was doing for them. When you are watching games involving your own team live and itâs close or they are in trouble you are always looking for someone to âdoâ something. Harnedy was brilliant and incredibly consistent at this. Weather it was a score or win a free or catch a high ball or whatever. He was the man 7-8 out of 10 times than man this season. Brilliant.
