Very disappointing to see the continual creep of the soccer style pressuring of the referee in GAA. Cork football management at it this week trying to put pressure on Cormac Reilly. Pat McEneaney should be stepping in telling both the Cork and Mayo managements to keep shut and that Reilly will ref it impartially and as he sees fit.

I agree in that I don't like to see that either. However, I do want to see cynical fouling stamped out and somebody needs to be putting pressure on referees to implement rules. Pat McEnaney probably should tell Ronan McCarthy to close his mouth and then turn around to Cormac Reilly and say; "but he was right!"..

The Cork camp have done their analysis on Mayo and here is one of their conclusions. Very interesting.

Even if billy Morgan was named ref,Larry Tompkins and Connor Counihan as linesmen they still won't beat Mayo. They could take a Kerry team in transition if somehow they get to the semi final but the dubs would embarrass them in the final.I wouldn't blame Cuthbert for trying something but I would prefer if he concentrated on his decisions on the sideline for Sunday. Hopefully he won't wait til they are 10 points down before making a change.

Yeah and see the Cork selector getting in on the act singling out Mayo players. Comes across as desperation. Good to see the Mayo camp very quiet at present and hopefully stays that way until 4:00pm Sunday.

Cormac Reilly is a good referee.

He won't be listening to any of that rubbish, He will do his job to the very best of his ability.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Horan has been very vocal in the past trying to influence the ref in 2012 semi v dublin. Tis gonna give the game a bit of an edge I hope. Still Mayo ftw!

JH to be fair usually behaves himself but he did bring up Joe McQuillan's involvement with Dublin in 2012.

Think Cork are making a big mistake here. Do they really want to poke a Mayo team, that have just been cruising along so far, with a stick? Remember Donegal started having a go in the media last year? Mayo don't seem to appreciate that stuff...

In fairness Horan enjoys a good auld yap about the ref pre game as well.

ffs we were a county how tried hard and took our beatings with dignity

now we are a county who doesnt try hard for 70 mins and looking for excuses on bloody tuesday.
Counihan probably wasnt the best manager principally cause he was too nice and too loyal but had honour and dignity

Brian has brought discontentment to the camp and bull shite to the media. Jasus years ago we would have been tearing into mayo now were setting up our bitch fest on the previous tuesday jasus christ almight

Im sorry to mayo and the country on a whole this is not how we have ever acted and i sincerely hope brian either concentrates on preparing the team or else moves on

ritchie - Any truth to rumours of discontent in the Cork camp? Didn't a player who's name escapes me levae the panel who was one of yer best players throughout the league and also heard one of the selectors was due to walk....hardly the same fella in the papers today.

He did it once? And I've never heard him complain too much after the fact either. To be fair to the Dubs ye tend to mind your manners in the press for the most part as well. Don't think anybody could top Rory "Conspiracry Theorist" Gallagher from last year... Mayo told Monaghan to take our lads out. Did ye ever hear the like of it?

Jaysus lad....I agree with a lot of what you said but the first statement is ridiculous...refs can't even send a Cork player off with Frank Murphy waving the rule book in the faces of the Croke Park boyos...take our beating...the supporters maybe but our county board ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Counter-productive by McCarthy. It just gives Mayo an extra motivation (which we didn't need) and also possibly puts the referee against us (it is generally forgotten that referees are human, too).

Time enough to talk about the referees when the whole season is over.
