Worst performance by a team ever in an All Ireland Final post 1900

Football Laois 1936
Hurling ?

Looks like an epic weekend for Waterford hurling. First the minor victory now this.

Galway 1887. Still the only county to record a score of 0-0 in an All-Ireland hurling final.

in my lifetime
Antrim 1989 and offaly in 2000 were bad.
Antrim had an obese man in goal
cork today is probably like Limerick 07 and waterford 08 in that they were annihilated by a sensational team…

actually galway 2015
shit game and they were woeful

Cork don’t deserve this tread. Kingston will have it on the wall from January.

Fuck tipp

He’ll have his phone nailed to the wall?

Blue tack maybe or these things

Not Corks fault, Limerick would have demolished any team today

I’d disagree.That was THE most complete collapse by a team in a final since 2008.Zero marking,Junior B full back line,Lads fumbling ball all over the shop and the rank stupidity of launching ball into a 3 on 2 Limerick full back line.Utterly shambolic.

Antrim would have done better.
Roll on 2022.

The difference in intent between both sets of forwards when a short puck out was taken summed it up. Limerick’s forwards swarmed to the ball and hit the man in possession hard, Cork forwards stood around watching as Byrnes, Nash, Gannon or Hayes received the ball and drilled it into the full forward line.

Limerick would have beaten any team in the country but most sides would have at least put in some hits and honest effort for 30 minutes and made it some bit of a contest

Cork started a row with ten minutes left. Bit late to suplex lynch at that stage and he after destroying them

Huge difference in desire and workrate between the 2 sets of forwards for sure.

It was like Cork were standing back admiring the Limerick backs.I don’t recall one decent tackle from them either.
Mind boggling at that level.

There is no shame coming off second best to a far superior side. Go out and burst your bollocks and if that keeps you in the game for 30/40/50 odd minutes before the class really tells then fair enough.

But when you collectively bottle it like that you may as well forget about it. A very long winter ahead to dwell over it too.

Take nothing away from Limerick who will walk all over you if you show that type of weakness but that was an abject effort from Cork, all the more considering it was a final

They did indeed. Cork didn’t even put up a fight. Limerick were excellent and should have won by a lot more such was the dominance
