He is beginning to have that look about him, Mac
The forces of Thatcherism and Cork hurling will prevail in the long run.
A pity that Cork have to revert to those values
Are they still going ahead with the All Ireland this year or are they just going to give it to Clare now?
The Waterford v Clare All Ireland will be a dinger.
ah here…
+1
you cant beat tradition
The crowd in RTE who were writing Clare off were a disgrace, so they were.
Tom Barry, Christy Ring, Terence, Michael Collins, the Sultans of Ping, Jack Lynch, John Creedon, Danny La Rue, your boys took one hell of a beating.
I see John Mullane had a cut off Cork today in the Indo. “A team going nowhere”
Bring back the Òg’s
We didnt mind that much Fagan. Its not about us…
The important thing in all of this, is nurturing a once proud hurling county like Cork back to some sort of health.
They have some nice young players, and while clearly not capable of competing at the top level anymore, the league structure in its current format will be of great benefit to their emerging players and provide them a great platform to re-emerge in the next couple of years. There is no point being in Div 1 and going 5 or 6 games without winning. This does nothing for their confidence or the management team trying to build a team. They will be much better off at their own level, the games against Carlow and Offaly will be crucial for them next year. THe GAA needs to reach out now, and promote these Div2 games better. Sometimes it feels like the wilderness down there, and you are not making progress etc, 200-300 people at the games, but as Clare have now proven, its the right approach and i have absolutley no doubt Cork we re-emerge in the next 5-6 years, make no mistake, hurling needs Cork:p
Who won between Carlow and Antrim?
antrim
Tom Dempsey thought it was terrible that Carlow were facing relegation to 2A because they been “fairly” close to teams in all their matches. He also didn’t think it was right that a team like Cork could be relegated from the top division.
Ah… Stephen Ireland!
Tom Dempsey is an extremely slow individual.
This criticism of Tom Dempsey must stop immediately.
Did you read what he said Bandage? Have a word with Tom please.
Tom Dempsey toes the party line to his betters quite often in Cork and Kilkenny it appears.
