Cork Senior Hurling 2024

Who's marking Tony Kelly? He's started well, needs sorting asap

Bump. Woops

Cork rattled here big time, needed HT badly.

Clare are better and I've a very bad feeling here. Too many passengers.

MIA from play - Darragh Fitz who is playing far too deep, Tim, Deccy Dalton. Where is Alan Connolly playing? Hoggie quiet enough.

Hayes is winning loads ball but wheres the support?

Bad feeling bout this. Gone very one dimensional, need to shake it up a bit

Ciarán Joyce caught badly for the goal which followed a Hoggie free miss howler. 5 point swing there

Just what I feared; leaky defence letting us down again. We are going to concede a big score again today. We might still win but I have a terrible feeling we won't get away with it this time.

Connolly wld wanna change his studs.
Clare playing with a swagger today and will deserve it. We're back to the Waterford style performance. Full circle.

Only hope is the subs to do something special

Just waiting for Conor Lehane to come on to complete our entire 19 year fucking misery

Right, cool heads needed.
We finished stronger, need to carry that forward, momentum has swung.

Mark Colman, Tim and the 2 Downey outstanding in the last 15 there. Problem is in the MF up. Jacko won't do unless he gets it on a plate. Harnedy a warrior. Hoggie on frees likewise. Where we gonna get a goal.

Its there for us

How apt

Tippy Tappy hurling cost us with 2 fucking minutes to go in extra time. I thought we rid ourselves of this shit.

Clare were better and that's it. We were complacent end of story,. Talks of a homecoming last Tue on the Proc? MUPPETTS

See you in 19 years time

Hate to say it, but not working hard enough in the end. You cannot hand the other team easy scores.

Just to mention, but of all the players who came on, Tommy O'Connell was the only one to win dirty ball, but a perennial sub after the Waterford game.

I think this is the most gutting Cork defeat since the footballers lost in 1988.

His 2nd half goal killed us

Was at the game. We couldn't win dirty ball to save our lives.

What was peoples view on the ref? At the game it felt like Clare were able to pull and drag without punishment

Was thinking we could of done with him in extra time.

Felt like Clare out muscled us all over the pitch.. our puck outs were extremely slow compared with Limerick also.

No problem with the ref.

We were out coached and outplayed. No complaints.
Jack O Connor for Connolly??? Cmon

Let's be honest, it was a poor performance from Cork. Nobody fired. The Forwards besides Harnedy were shit. Clare shut us down.

What was plan B?

I am not being wise after the event here when I say this but I didn't fancy us to do it today. We are not good enough at the back. It's not reasonable to concede 30 plus scores in every game and expect your forwards to dig you out every time. Clare scored three goals against us in Munster this year and they did again today. That's unforgivable to be truthful.

Tipp, in fairness Clare won and it’s over but if you have no problem with the ref then god help us, the last free that wasn’t was so clear and he was looking at it, if that was Clare he would have needed a Garda escort.
Our defending is lovely and nice and tidy, fuck me it was shocking, the defending for the McCarthy go was absolutely diabolical
Long way back

Johnny Murphy also head-butted Ethan Twomey. Should have given himself a red card.

After our first two games against Waterford and Clare, who thought we would be contesting an All Ireland final today. No doubt about it the two games against Limerick took an awful lot out of that team,both mentally and physically. Lady luck deserted us today and a few decisions did not go our way. We played the championship with two backs that are not up to inter county standard and as a result we leaked huge scores in every game. We have to dust ourselves down and go again in 2025. I feel gutted for the players and management and for the huge support that followed this team to every game. Hopefully let 2025 be our year.

I'm so sorry for Hoggie

Ah Jesus. Let's not slip into the Proc style bullshit levels of delerium.

Clare were the better team. We played without Darragh driving forward, Barrett taken off, Dalton, Connolly, Hoggie nothing from play, Ehtan Twomey stupid wides.

For the last 3 winning points, where was the midfield? Cleaned out

Clare out coached us simple as that and the Cork famine lives on

I know it's a bad day, Tipp-Ex, for me as much as for yourself, but can you not take a joke?

Clare won and that is all that matters. If they want to congratulate themselves they have every right. I can't say fairer than that. I am only concerned with Cork and they came withing a whisker of the feckers, while not playing all that well.

We got caught up in out own hype, fellas on Proc last Tuesday talking about whether we'd be on the South Mall or in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Rebel Óg cancelled their Monday night programme (U16) start of championship for the homecoming.

Some homecoming thatll be

It is possible to have been beaten by the better team and feel aggrieved by a terrible ref performance.

At the game it was obvious that Clares defenders were hanging off our forwards,they got away with a lot and we were not clever enough to cop that and our defenders were giving Clares forwards way too much space. We could of done with some cynical defenders today. We were not touch tight

We had nobody in the calibre of Kelly and O Donnell.
Those two won the All Ireland for Clare.
