For someone who’s a details man and talking about scenario planning, this is a poor slip from Derek.

Advantage Tipp.

He finally finished the book.

This has filled me with confidence.
I was a little nervous ahead of tomorrow. The stakes are massive but the butterflies have floated away upon reading the above.

Scenario planning is a great phrase

I’d agree with him that Byrnes will be targeted again. One way or another he won’t last the full game.

They’d be better off with The Dow on the field taking the long range frees. That’s the only reason Byrnes is there.

never really fancied him as a hurler either, got his place when Wayne Sherlock got injured but should have been dropped the minute Sherlock was fit again

How Cork left him in the 2006 Final for so long and Sherlock on the bench is a fair black mark on John Allen, he was been destroyed. Smacked a bit of an overbearing Newtown infleunce on things

If they blow any more smoke up their own holes, they’ll be able to hold their own conclave

Looks like the years of looking over the border at years of Limerick domination have taken toll on Pat.
In that article he radiates the sort of simmering envy typically reserved for a man glaring over the fence at his neighbor’s success, all while stewing in his own domestic purgatory, jobless, tethered to a lazy fat ugly wife, and grappling with a gay son who defies every checkbox of fatherly pride.

“if it comes down a hurling match” line takes the biscuit really when you consider the truck full of medals the Limerick lads have whereas the Cork medals would fit into Cyril’s Cork sombero hat. I think Cyril is that lads name. It could become a Babs donkeys dont win derbies moment

In fairness, I would say the comment is not entirely reflective of the Cork view though

It is lazy analysis. Fellas like him still think Gearoid Hegarty is just a lanky lumbering yoke when he has arguably the best stick work and footwork of any wing forward in the last 20 years.

“If it comes down to a hurling match”, and cork playing langerball :joy::joy::joy:

Its bitterness. Pure & simple.

It’s remarkable that this (since about May 2024) is the very first time in the 140 year history of the GAA where Cork v Limerick has been the hurling rivalry that MATTERS uber alles.
