And Lmk got the last two scores before the red.
What’s your address now, bro?
Dooradoyle, mate.
I’m not saying Allen is a genius, I have quibbles with him yet, and I’m not saying O’Grady is bad, but I think Allen has done a far better job with largely the same group of players. DOG failed to fill full and centre back which Allen sorted straight away. Allen also developed a far more suitable style of play. I find it strange DOG gets so much credit and Allen so little.
allen tries tol pass himself off as a great thinker and intellectual, neither of which are possible for cork people and therefore he’s a snakey poseur
Allen has got plenty of credit. It’s hard to judge the two really. DOG was only in for a year to steady the ship, Allen has had that year to learn about his team. I also think DOG brought on players like Wayne Mac, but I agree, overall his short game didn’t suit.
I was on about that chocolate mouse fella.
[quote=“caoimhaoin, post: 804034, member: 273”]Ya, but you are talking about o Grady. He is far from an idiot. He had alot if the same bunch but didn’t have the likes of Hannon at this level and the squad.
What often happens also is a manager can lay the foundation for another guy to bring it on.
With the geographical nature and amateurism of GAA often means there is a nice bit of luck and timing.[/quote]
Let’s get one thing straight here Donal put in the spade work in Cork and Limerick and John carried it on and refined the system and structures even more.Their both top managers but out of the two i rate O’Grady more highly.
We are one and the same, mate.
After the shambles of the Justin McCarthy era DOG came in and steadied the ship. He brought everything the Justin reign was lacking - professionalism, unity, purpose, drive, desire and ambition. But for that crushing late John Mullane goal we would have had a famous Munster championship win against Waterford.
Ultimately not sorting the spine of the team cost us that year. Crazy to think that we played Richie McCarthy that year as a corner forward. 
JA has improved us considerably. Improved continuously under his stewardship, despite a few bumps along the way like those two league final defeats. Whatever he is doing is working. Hopefully he’ll stay on next year irrespective of how the semi final goes. We are playing a simple style which suits the players we have.

A simple style, but we have to improve, particularly service to our forwards, if we want to push on.
Absolutely, there is more in us. The best we have played in years was the 15 minutes after half time versus Tipp last year in Thurles. It was a blinding display for that period, we need a display like that for 70 minutes.
Played exceptionally well in patches against both Tipp and Cork this year but in Croke Park we need to drive it on again. As euphoric as I am after Sunday we could have been 10 points down at half time v Cork and the game gone from us.
Allen and his management team are shrewd and I’d imagine they’ll review everything to squeeze out another few marginal gains. In Allen we trust.

We need a good start basically. I doubt he will, but I’d drop Browne the next day… But we will hold off on all that for a few weeks.
Im a big fan of Richie McCarthy.His cousin Tommy wore the number 3 shirt for Limerick with distinction in the Mackey era and Richie sleeps in the same bedroom that Tommy slept in.Playing full back for Limerick was his destiny with breeding like that.
Sounds like a weirdo.
How old is his cousin?
I am with the runt on this one, he’s a spoofer
3 Munster titles & 1 All Ireland in 3 and a bit seasons in charge of 2 teams as a manager is a brutal return all right. Davy is the man!
