Remember the league game this year in Walsh Park? Cork crowded out midfield and beat Waterford handily. I thought that was their best game this year. I think Cork can grow in confidence...some tightening up and more man marking in half back line, and I can see real progress with this team. Very good depth in the bench. ...Lorcan McLoughlin, Luke Farrell and Michael Cahalane. I see Galway coming out of Leinster.....In fact will be hard to beat this year. The Qualifiers will be a minefield. Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 22/05/2017 14:09:44 1989369 Link 0 |
Waterford are waiting for this semi. If Tipp won yesterday I don't think they would of beaten Waterford to be honest. I think Cork will need a new game plan to beat them. It's hard going now for Cork, beat Tipp only to play Waterford, if they win that it's Limerick or Clare it's some hard route.

Totally agree. The ball needs to be 30% heavier. People will eventually cotton on to this. 2 pucks for a score is surely 1 puck too few. No points should physically be able to be scored from your own half. It's a modern phenomenon and that's progress but the equipment i.e the ball needs changing.

Yes totally different day against Waterford but then how good are Waterford. That Cork performance yesterday would beat anyone.

Same as 1966. Cork had 3 games in Munster back then. 1954-1966 12 years wait for Liam McCarthy. 2005-2017....same gap. Place your bets now Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 22/05/2017 16:15:31 1989449 Link 0 |
1966...with essentially an under 21 team...Cork beat Clare after replay in first round (3-8/3-8 then 5-11 to 1-7) Cork beat Limerick in semi final (2-6 to 1-7)...limerick had beaten Tipp Cork beat Waterford in final (4-9 to 2-9) Cork were lucky in first round against Clare...21 yard free by Justin McCarthy tied up game Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 22/05/2017 16:21:18 1989453 Link 0 |
A strange complaint that there's too many scores! I remember A Munster final which which finished Cork 011; Clare 0-9. On the same day the takings were robbed by armed raiders (and Clare claimed they were robbed, as well!) I don't yearn for those days at all. Thank God we have better marksmen now.

Remember '66 well was at all the games. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 22/05/2017 20:02:26 1989557 Link 0 |
Get your facts right midleton. The robbery, both of them, took place in 1977 when Ray Cummins should have won an oscar. 1978 was the low scoring one.

The writing was on the wall after the league final when only poor shooting stopped Galway beating Tipp by 20+ points.No way should a team lose a National Final by such a margin.There was no intensity to yesterdays game, no physicality for want of a better word.Don't get me wrong it was very entertaining and some of the point taking was out of this world but there was no 'hitting' in it.

The GAA hierarchy have being pursuing a 'sanitisation' policy for years in Hurling. Shoulders are a once in blue moon occurrence. I feel there should be way more physical challenges in Hurling and dare I say it the third man tackle should be brought back.

Fantastic game yesterday. Was disappointed with our inability to vary the puck outs a bit more. Just bombing them down on the 20m line where Cork outnumbered us didn't work. Nash was excellent, both his saves and distribution. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 22/05/2017 22:47:16 1989628 Link 0 |
Seemed to be reasonably physical from what I saw on the highlights last night. Serious pace to the game...much harder to hit a fast-moving target than a slow one! Also, the ref seemed to 'let the game to flow'. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 22/05/2017 22:47:43 1989629 Link 0 |
Are we playing hurling or WWF??? The hurling on Sunday was sublime with neutrals enthralled by the pace and skills on show.....games like that are what encourage lads to start hurling not the physical exchanges which are a secondary part of our great game

Are you related to Ger Canning by any chance? Finally found another person who uses the word "latitude" when talking about hurling!

I suggest you watch the 09 final between KK &Tipp again. Then try telling me last Sundays game was physical. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 23/05/2017 18:39:33 1989948 Link 0 |
I was a neutral at this game. gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 23/05/2017 18:53:47 1989955 Link 1 |
That's the barometer for physicality, yeah?

Surprised and a bit disgusted to read Brendan Cummins comments regarding Carlow and Tipp only having a panel of 18 players. Similar to Eoin Larkins view on KK earlier in the year I think these lads should show a bit more respect rather than trying to stay in the limelight. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 24/05/2017 10:05:54 1990129 Link 0 |
