Same issue as the Limerick match, cleaned out at midfield and half forward. No platform to do anything whatsoever. Our backs have held up fine when we have forced Cork to go direct but we have allowed Cork to play through the lines time and time again.
Plenty of sloppy hurling too which Cork have punished us.
The fucking state of the Clare 23.
Tipp 6-4 Laois
Clare are shite. Who’s surprised?
That mouthy cunt @The Puke has gone fierce fucking quiet, so he has.
Cork’s all ireland to lose you would think
Denis Maher doing a bit of damage in at FF. Seems to be breaking a lot of ball. Tipp pen.
Penalty saved by Rowland
Cork are back
8-4
Johnny Murphy starting to impose himself on this match.
Laois hitting some fucking shocking wides with the wind at their back. Soul destroying.
Tipp playing through the lines according to FOTF big Ken.
Sums it up, Cork player wanders forward and nobody tracking. Took it well in fairness to him
They might get 3-32 yet
Ger Canning correcting his own mistake twice. Unlike him
Cusack called him Joe a while ago.
Cork 2-30 Clare 2-21 FT
Scoreline flatters Clare. Hard to draw too much on either side. Cork won the game in the 15 before half time. Clare too many passengers from midfield up. Disappointing there was zero response second half - which was a complete non event for both sides.
Tipp 0-11
Laois 0-7
Could be more. Could be less. Will be a considerably more by the end of the game. Laois shouldn’t be that toothless up front.
