Hopefully Laois beat them. So much easier to get to.

Portlaoise would be outstanding. Great news either way, looking forward to the trip

Cork2021

it should lead to a sell out too. About time the GAA used their heads!

When and where would details of this be announced? I actually went and booked both just in case! one return trip to Tullamore and one return trip to Portlaoise (with much better times). I'll cancel whatever one I need to

Booked the train to Portlaoise for next Saturday to beat the crowd. Biting my nails at this thing!!

Atrocious start by the minors 1-03 v 0-01 down after 10 minutes.

Playing against the stiff breeze but we look aimless and missing a free from 30 yeards straight in front of the goal is simply awful at any grade.

The White Feather

Still only 1 point scored. Terrible stuff alright

namloc1980

1-7 to 0-1. Embarrassing.

ShamoBuc

2-08 v 0-03

Nothing short of a disgrace.

Very good footballers at this age but as a team they are Brutal. Blame squarely on those in charge and their set up.

Not getting the best out of the players available.

The White Feather

What a truly awful first half. Not sure how it could be worse.

Offaly just won so it is them we play next in the hurling.

ShamoBuc

Offaly it is.

A pity as Portlaoise is so much handier to get to.

The White Feather

Laois should really have won that game though

namloc1980

3-14 to 0-6. That's beyond disgraceful.

ShamoBuc

Diabolical minor team.

The players are good enough to do a lot better so I am throwing the blame on the management and their setup.

At no stage this year did the really play like a team. First half v Clare they showed promise but that was literally it.

The White Feather

Yes that margin means there's something very wrong with those in charge. This is another crushing defeat . The players are clearly not responding to what they are saying and/or they can't fix it

I'm sure they gave it their best and we can be happy with their efforts.

The minute I have said it in the past you said Im negative but all good when you say it. Double standards but Il leave it at that.

I had a good chuckle at that in fairness.

The very vast majority of your posts in the past have been negative, after nearly every game of football or hurling at any and every grade that we've lost.

But I'll leave it at that.

The White Feather

This has worked out nicely for us now in the hurling. Offaly next should be straight forward and then Dublin after being hammered today will be in fairly low spirits.

Anything can happen but its good to be in our position now.

Hurlers should be winning the next 2 games in fairness. No excuses.

If we beat Offaly where do we think the Dublin game could be? Probably Clare v wexford the same day. Croker or thurles?

The Dublin v (cork/offaly) game has already been decided weeks back. Thurles

That was truly the worst Cork minor football performance I've ever had the misfortune to watch. Totally outclassed by Mayo. No doubt Micheal O Sulivan will again blame the players like he did after the munster final without taking any responsibility for his own hopeless management. He needs to have the decency to step down immediately with his entire management team and scouts or be sacked if he doesn't do so. All the stories coming out of the camp came to fruition today. Too much S & C. Not enough skills and shooting practice. Favouritism in picking players from West Cork instead of picking the best players in the county. There must be better coaches in the county. A complete waste of time for those young lads and what they have sacrificed in training squads over the last few years

Couldn't agree more.

I've been at many Rebel Óg training sessions over the past 3 years at this age group. So little football and an emphasis on SandC, gym work, how many pullups you can do and all that stuff. I've seen Miskella etc over the past 3 or 4 years and there are some lovely footballers at this grade but that team and how they are set up was absolutely Devoid of any footballing foundation from what they are used to. Go to a minor game in the weeks ahead, Ballincolling v Douglas for example and you will see footballers playing very good football - the Cork setup was not conducive for young fellas who simply want to play foootball.

The players are definitely capable of better and that is an absolute fact, the management must take the blame.

What time is Cork v Dublin on at in hurling quartet final??

Assuming Cork beat offaly which I accept is not to be underestimated...

Will probably know once the Munster final is over. GAA.ie are fast enough to update fixtures.

zetecescort

would hate to see it but our game v Galway a few years ago had a 1 o'clock throw in so anything possible.
