Sporting Collapses

In my lifetime I haven’t seen a hurling team as Jekyll and Hyde as this Cork group. They are sensational on the front foot. Blistering pace with outstanding execution on the simple things. But absolutely reliant on easy possession. So many of their best players, cannot get into a game if the ball isn’t being handed to them. They are so good on the ball that some days this doesn’t matter, but today it mattered.

They went up like Limerick used to. Writing songs and full of hype and hope. Like that ape getting the tattoo.

Now you’d imagine the players stay away from the noise but it must be hard for it not to creep in to the camp

Tipp on the other hand came into it lovely. Written off before a ball was picked, nothing to lose

Tipp arrived knowing who they were, what they were about and what they had to live up to.

That was it.

Liam Cahill is a dog of war.
Pat Ryan is a kind and gentle soul.
Sin e.

We may well be watching the mother and father of all sporting collapses before our eyes.

It’s up there with this years incarnation of Down ‘footballers’ and Greg Norman’s calamitous performance when Faldo upped the ante at Augusta…

The seeds of the clubs demise can be traced back to the day @Fran introduced Jockstrap McHaggis into the conversation. Things were never the same after.

Austria are a much better footballing country than Scotland

The respective co-efficeints of Austria and Scotland is a debate for Footixes like yourself to have elsewhere. This is the sporting collapse thread. Having a 4 goal lead and cushion nearly three quarters of the way through a home and away European tie and contriving to lose from there is a sporting collapse for the ages.

You’re the footix here mate
