Mugged off in a three piece suit in pissing rain

Great banter about Anthony Daly getting wet fulfilling his pitch side analyst role. So good they did the same quips during commentary and the post-match analysis.

Ger didnā€™t like it when Dalo mentioned the whiskey.

Daly is one money-hungry cunt. Got hisself wet last night too.
His innate braying/laughing/guffawing is irksome at beat. The cunt canā€™t utter a sentence without some sort of a snigger/witty? chuckle. Heā€™s a cunt and a hungry one at that.

Daly and @Smark 's pal Sheedy were at a championship preview night in the Clarion in Cork last Thursday night.

A few of these lads are making a killing on the professional circuit. Guest appearances, newspaper columns, tv punditry gigs, radio analysts, bullshit Director of Hurling Roles in other counties, appointing managers for other counties whereby they pick their workmate pals, heading up mickey mouse Dail committees etc.

Youā€™ve got to grudgingly admire the brass neck on the cunts.

ā€œReal gaa menā€

I forgot to mention the obligatory PR exercise otherwise known as the autobiography too.

Shefflin is going down the same road already and he is only retired five minutes.

Must be the worst Tipp team in 19 years. Pure shite.

In Dalyā€™s defence he gives an awful lot back to the local bookmaking industry.

Really?

:grin:

Another clown who predicted a Cork win signing in. Iā€™m sure itā€™s been said already but the two most shocking aspects were areas where Cork historically excelled. The touch and stick passing were simply appalling for this level, lads with no pressure on them missing their target by 10 yards or more. Even more shocking was the utter ineptitude of the sideline, completely clueless and basically handing the game to Tipp. Shefflin with his ā€œthe two Mahers were excellentā€, ffs any hurler at any level would look excellent given that space and time on the ball.

Was in his bollix. He is partly to blame for the entire mess.

Like that fucking eejit with the mohican in the darts and the snooker player (McManus??)
Shefflin is as dull as it gets.

Corkā€™s workrate and structure seems to have disappeared completely. One of the things they were doing fairly well with reliability in the last few years was moving the ball smartly. They used the ball incredibly stupidly today.

The sweeper setup helped negate the Tipp goal threat, but the distribution side of that setup was totally absent. The strange thing was that Tipp werenā€™t working particularly hard around the middle. Cork could have carried the ball and created overlaps if they wanted, but they rarely did. Time and time again the easy option of lashing the ball forward was taken when there wasnā€™t a hope in hell of it finding a Cork forward. Before, they were working hard to get the likes of Horgan and Lehane on the end of chances. Today there was none of that.

Maybe today will be a wake-up call for them but if it isnā€™t Iā€™d say theyā€™re fucked. And unlike the mid-90s slump, there isnā€™t a wave of top notch underage players coming through the revive their fortunes this time. While the last five years havenā€™t been that much fun for Cork but if anything it looks like itā€™s going to get worse.

Wan on wan. :grin:

Cummins, Shefflin and the rest of them are always going on about ā€œcolleaguesā€. ā€œHe gives the ball to a colleagueā€.

A ā€œcolleagueā€ is a lad you ring on the IT help desk in work. FFS itā€™s a ā€œteam mateā€ or ā€œhe found a man in spaceā€.
