Well Kyle will have a nice break from senior intercounty for the next 6 months 
Will you just stop pal, I would be certain that your free taker is easily in your top seven or eight most important players.
Eoin Kelly was outstanding at 10 years of age and was never a âpromisingâ corner forward.
He was simply an outstanding player
They named him as sub goalie for the 2000 QF against Galway just to get him on the panel ffs.

I donât think this angle is working particularly well for you buddy, youâve repeated it several times now itâs not gaining any support.
Maybe try another line of attack.
Regards.
Your mate Brimmer.
This is it. I think Cark will struggle more against a team as good in the air as Galway are at the minute.
I donât like Anthony Nash, not really sure why, but he has a very very good delivery. Itâd be fascinating should they meet.
Bizarre game yesterday. Clare looked tactically all wrong, looked to be beaten man for man, hit a string of bad wides, missed a penalty, hit the post and the bar, got nowt off the ref, but were still within three points with five minutes left.
Not sure what to make of that.

Coldplay reinvent themselves?
Have they fuck.
Eoin Kelly was outstanding as a senior inter-county hurler at 10 years of age, was he?
Could you tell me what he did against Cork in 1992 so, because I donât remember him making much of an impact in that match?
Lookit, you gilded the lily a bit yesterday but youâre nearly back in Australia with the hole youâve been digging. Fuck away the shovel and move on buddy.

This discussion is about outstanding senior inter-county players at the age of 19, mate.
For some reason youâre talking about what Eoin Kelly was like as a 10 year-old.
Deal with the point at hand or fuck off out of the discussion, because currently itâs flying well above your head.
TAN would make an appearance now and then on proc stooping down from his pulpit educating the lesser Cork folk about hurling, some laugh.

So many of us who were at the minor game that night remembered his name and were looking for him last year. The commentary mentioned that he has just completed his first year in UCC so was surely doing his leaving last year.
Good medium term management by the Cork backroom to wait for this year.
Itâs hurling mate, itâs all flying over your head, wikipedia stats are not cutting it for you in this instance.
Again, you canât deal with the point, preferring to bluster emptily.
My greater knowledge is destroying you.
Mark Coleman is more accomplished and a much more vital player to Cork than Eoin Kelly was to Tipperary at the same age.
This is the central truth you canât deal with.
Except that Eoin Kelly won a League, Munster and All Ireland Championship including being Tipperaryâs top scorer in that championship at 19 years old. Accomplished and better indeed.
Thereâs only one person full of bluster mate and it aint me.

With the vast majority being frees and him not being one of Tipperaryâs eight most important players that year.
A fully formed hurling maestro in 2001 he wasnât.
A teamâs top scorer not one of their most important players 
Youâre really grasping at straws if your argument is that Kelly was more accomplished than Coleman as a player at the same age because he took frees.
What the fuck has Coleman done you cunt of a man?
The problem was that they didnât adapt it. But the few balls Nash did find a Cork half-forward with showed why they had to try something. After Malone hit the post Nash found Meade and he hopped a 30 yard pass in front of Cadogan, who rounded his man and goaled.
There are no easy answers when your backs are getting beaten to the ball. Certainly should have forced Cork to hit longer ones when the game started to slip away in the second half, and it will be the major takeaway from the game on a tactical level. But our backs looked green yesterday and they really didnât show the aggression required at this level.
The most galling thing from our perspective was the failure to hit a full-forward line that clearly had the ability to do damage. Tried too hard to bounce diagonal balls into ladâs hands, when the few plain long balls that were hit in the first 20 minutes led to Maloneâs goal chance and the penalty. Similar story in the second half. The 4 or 5 wides we hit in 6 or 7 minutes when on top let Cork off the hook and killed our own momentum. The performance was patchy but when you miss 4 clear goal chances and youâre still in the hunt at the death, youâve something to build on.
Kingston has engineered a remarkable change in mindset in the Cork setup. the workrate of Cadogan and Harnedy is exceptional, and they have even managed to instil a work ethic in Patrick Horgan. Momentum is a fantastic thing to have and they have it now in a big way. Huge turnaround in 12 months and it shows what can happen when players are given an ultimatum to change their ways. Galway will represent a totally different challenge to anything theyâve faced should that be the final pairing, but there is real hunger in how Cork are playing. They are desperate for success and even if Galway must have the same hunger, they donât always show it as Cork are showing it now.

I recall young Tipperary corner forward tyros Eoin Kelly and Lar Corbett being marked by Wexfordâs U21 duo Rory Mallon and David âDocâ OâConnor in the drawn and replayed All Ireland semi-final in 2001. Where do the years go, old chum?
Heâs been comfortably in Corkâs top three or four performers in all three of their championship matches to date, playing with a maturity and composure worthy of a seasoned veteran, in a team that before this championship were written off as no-hopers. Heâs been absolutely central to Corkâs unexpected revival.
Thatâs pretty extraordinary for a 19 year-old, I think youâll agree.
