Cork GAA Discussion Thread

What's all this giving about the Strike for? They had a worse Strike in Limerick in 2010 and they have gone from strength to strength since. Best thing that ever happened down there.

Cork Gaa Board getting a bit of abuse after not allowing Water Break this weekend.

A statement via Twitter read: "CCC Ciarraí have instructed referees for this weekend's games to allow for a water-break (approx. one minute) at or about the 15th minute of each half, due to very warm weather conditions." 

Users on Twitter backed Kerry's decision. 

One user said " Sanity prevails. Central council and other co boards follow. Ciarrai abu" 

"Great call by the Kerry County board, "said another. 

Whilst some weren't happy with the lack of action taken by other country boards 

"Great decision. No sign of Cork GAA making an announcement. Must be too busy with the concert in Páirc Ui Chaoimh. #Priorities" 

Couldn't disagree more on something. Wrecked every aspect of the game. I'd understand a token pause for bottles to be brought on in heatwave conditions but that's it.

Yeah they literally say they're selling the land to make money, why else would they do it? They owe money on the stadium, selling land raises money, I'm not sure what's wrong with that.

Who'd be considered the 2 surprise quarter finalists in their place? I'm guessing newtown who would i be right to say haven't figured strongly since the heyday of o'connors, pat mulcahy etc ? and maybe the barrs who weren't that strong in recent times, i know they've plenty of young lads coming through.

looks like a rare butterfly and mushroom may scupper any development

All star nominations for Sean Powter and Stephen Sherlock in football and Robbie O Flynn, Darragh Fitzgibbon and Ciaran Joyce in hurling. Joyce also nominated for young hurler of the year

Who do yee fancy for thr Hurling,?

Happy double day everyone! Thirty two years on, and we remain the last county (and the only county since 1900) to achieve such a rare and unique feat. Four senior all Irelands in both codes since 1990, is a very poor return alright, but this county has the history, the playing numbers, and the potential, to be a force in both senior codes again in the hopefully not too distant future. In football we need to get up to division one in the league, and start beating Kerry in Munster again before we start worrying about winning all Irelands.

As for the hurling we've spent the last sixteen going on seventeen years, giving out about how rough and physical Kilkenny and Limerick are. Sports evolve and change and both senior intercounty hurling and gaelic football, have evolved and changed to huge degrees since both 2005 and 2010 respectively.

We in Cork as of the current moment in time, have failed dismally to readjust to this changing landscape. I do think we have good management teams in place now in both senior codes. In fact John Cleary should have been Conor Counihans successor as manager of the footballers.

I would argue that considering the players we had in both panels, we possibly could and should have won a few more hurling and football all Irelands in that period from 1984 until around 1993. Mind you Tipp and Galway in hurling and Meath in football, probably feel that they could have won more all Irelands in that period of time as well.
