Another Cork goal......Get in !!

O'Flynn looks to be in real pain being stretchered off. Such a nice hurler with an unreal turn of speed.

Yeah..... we sure are 😁😁

Good comeback and win.

Hope ROF is ok.

Straight Talker

We win it right at the death. Of course Limerick will be a different animal come the championship, but sure we'll enjoy this win anyway! Hopefully the footballers can keep the positive vibes going tomorrow!

Great entertainment

I noticed you sucking up to the Limerick crowd over on their thread!😁 Your opinion is not worth anything really. You just love putting Cork down win lose or draw. I have no doubt that Limerick will be a different team come the championship, but we have no reason to fear the rest of the teams out there.

Good display to come back and win. Some played well, some not so well but under no illusions about the strength of Limericks challenge last night.

Best wishes to Robbie, was one of our better players in a terrible 1st half. Hopefully it's not too serious, he could be vital for us this year

The booing of cian lynch was an absolute disgrace...

Agreed, or was it for Hegarty who he was replacing? Either way it was embarrassing and it's an element I hope not to see creeping in.

Wasn't Lynch involved in a nasty incident near the end of the final a few years back?

It's still a small element of the crowd that are it.

But booing has crept into the game the last few years and more and more so. Jeering the free taker and jeering wides is also another element. The throwing of the bottle at Tony Kelly while taking a sideline last year was too quickly forgotten and not pursued. There needed to be a public outing of that person. I noticed in the Walsh cup final down in Cork, a fairly meaningless game, cork supporters were jeering Forde while he was taking frees. Some people say it's only kids, but if they grow up doing it now, they'll keep at it. It's up to the supporters clubs and people sitting beside their own crowd to sort it out. Otherwise it will grow and grow. The attitude is too lax towards it. This is how things start.

Long may the below continue.

With Tim o Mahoney yes.. o’mahoney wasn’t exactly an innocent party either... lots of incidents occur in games... unfortunately great players like cian lynch receive extra attention.... now and again they will react... hard to blame them... Patrick Horgan was sent off in a Munster final for connecting with a guys head with his hurl.... does it make him a dirty hurler... absolutely not.. on a side note.. the questioning by the reporter when interviewing Horgan after last nights game was petty.. trying to get him to say more about Kingston’s management fair play to him for not getting sucked into it... the guy gave an honest answer to a question and the media blow it up and then wonder why players won’t talk to them..... the mind boggles

I guess the above was the reason he was booed last night. Unlike Hoggie who was mentioned above, Lynch did not receive a red and went unpunished for the cowardly tackle and he knew exactly what he was doing. The video would make you shiver at what could have resulted in a very serious injury.

I can understand why there is a negative view of Lynch but I don't think the reception should be repeated although it probably will, I just don't think the booing of a player is the correct thing to do.

I wasn't sucking up to them; I gave them plenty of stick about Gillane's recent carry-on if you read my other posts. I was just stating the obvious; last night's result means nothing in the context of the championship. In case you'd forgotten, we beat Limerick in the league last year too. But when we played them in the championship we didn't turn up. A lot of Cork people are living in a fool's paradise regarding this team.

Equally, a lot of people keep referencing losses after Cork win a game giving no credit at all for a win. Strange that.

Cork people know it was only a league game and yet some folk believe it necessary to remind us. Very strange indeed.

Unbelievable showing from the footballers so far.

I've been impressed with them so far, a better style of football.... some might reference how we got on in the championship last year etc but I'm just happy to see a Cork football team play football with a more direct style and might actually get a few wins.

1-08 v 0-02 ahead at ht

ACitizenErased

All over, won 2-14 to 0-7

Thats an outstanding result

Kildare 0-07 v 2-14 Cork

I remember reading after last weeks loss that we looked like relegation fodder. Today Cork put in a very good footballing perfornamce away from home and won in some style by 13 points in the end.

While it is only the league, as Cork supporters, we have to be very happy ( some of us anyway) with the 2 great wins this weekend and hope the ladies can do well tomorrow too.

That was a good win over limerick last night.

I still think Cork need do bit more physical work in gym but we do seem be bit physically stronger over the winter.

Least we showed spirit last night after half time and also near end when they knocked off 4 points in a row. The response both times was encouraging.

We wont win all Ireland this year but if we work on it and work on the tenacious and physical side of things I don't see any reason why Cork Hurling cant finally get to Holy grail in coming years.

Mindset of Cork hurling had to change and I think finally it is.

Straight Talker

Great win by the footballers today. To beat Kildare in the manner that we did away from home, is a very encouraging result going forwards! All in all it's been a great weekend for Cork!😀

I don't approve of that, but to be honest with you i've seen Limerick fans acting the maggot as well over the years. Two wrongs don't make a right obviously, but all in all i don't think our fans are any worse than any other counties supporters.

As well as that we need to develop a settled spine to the team. We haven't had one since the mid noughties after all! We haven't had a proper full back since Sully, centre back since Ronan Curran, centre forward since Niall Mac and we haven't had a proper full forward since Brian Corcoran. We never really replaced Tom Kenny and Jerry O'Connor in midfield either.

So no wonder we haven't won a senior all Ireland in nearly twenty years. Of course with the way the Munster championship is structured nowadays it's harder to win an all Ireland.

You need to play five games to win Munster now, and with the semi final and final that's seven games to win the all Ireland. You can add another couple of games to that, if you have to go through the backdoor. God be with the days when you'd only have to play four games to win the all Ireland!

In fairness the ball was thirty yards away and Tim O'Mahony grabbed Lynch on the blind side, who was not even going after the ball at the time. as he was obviously suffering from a knock. Would Tim not have been better off going after the ball, as cork were about five goals down at the time. Look at the wider tape of this incident again. Anyway, Lynch rose above it last night by staying forty minutes, in his playing gear, on the pitch signing autographs etc for young supporters from both counties.
