Great game in Thurles today, level on sixteen occasions, thought it looked a cert to be a draw but fair play to Cork for getting the second goal that put Tipp away.

First of all.the Tipp Posters who post here are grand respectful lads, they don't gloat or boast. They have a great team and everyone involved in hurling knows that despite today's set back, they will still be favourites for Liam. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 21/05/2017 19:35:07 1988946 Link 4 |

That's why my great grandad keeps telling me that Cavan will win 6-in-row one of these years, in Ulster at least!!

I thought Tipp were a shambles. Problems, and or injured/missing players in every line of the field for TIpp. Am I wrong about that? Tipp were bad in the NHL final, and just four weeks later (today), I'm not sure that they were a whole lot better. Their Bonnerless half-forward line did a catastrophic disappearing act in the last 25mins there. An injured Callanan had to come from no14 to try to lift it, and O'Meara off the bench for 5-6 minutes, but it was unsustainable, and they caved in at the back before the finish. Cork's 5 young lads I'd never heard of, were spectacular.

Is the Cork V Waterford semi definitely set for Thurles? Is there any chance that Páirc Uí Chaoimh could be used if its ready on time? Marlon_JD (Tipperary) - Posts: 1823 - 21/05/2017 20:05:53 1988969 Link 0 |
Well done to Cork, delighted for the loyal supporters to see Cork back hurling like that again. I stick by my post last week that the losers of today will have a handy run in to the quarter final now. A Munster title would do wonder for this Cork team. therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 21/05/2017 20:10:14 1988973 Link 0 |
Don't know why you can't see this game coming. Too much pessimism maybe? This Cork forward sextet is as good as any I've seen.The newcomers were blended into this team seamlessly by management. The style of Luke Meade and Shane Kingston is a joy to watch. Damien Cahalane has progressed, and I for one, was not surprised he did well today on Callinan.Super display from both corner backs.Mark Coleman has the ability to become a great half back. Look back on my earlier post today. Regards to "Eaglehaslanded"..he posted a timely post in the midst of unheralded pessimism from other Cork posters here.

This is the reason why I think when someone sets up a gloating threat or that "such and such team are unbeatable" that it shouldn't be allowed by admin unless the poster concerned is from the county concerned. We have that annoying poster oakleafer from Derry setting up threads such as "Kerry for the League- Championship double" or "Galway to win the McCarthy Cup" etc. Would love to see posters like that banned because they contribute nothing apart from stupidity

What's wrong with Barry Heffernan. Yeah I am surprised how we let Forde's suspension become such a big deal. We should have a built a seize mentality around it as opposed to fighting the suspension tooth and nail.

Your dry wit has given me plenty of smiles on this site. The other one is pushing for a round robin in Munster. Complete BS. If we are going down the round robin route it should be in June and July and not some tokenism in May and June with this brilliant championship being diluted.

You can't ban posters for posting.. Great performance today. Just goes to show that when Cork are in a shoot out they have the class to make it 50/50 no matter who they are playing.. Tipperary might not recover easily from this. They've issues in the fullback line. It's porous and they are losing confidence with every outing. Its not easily fixed. But its a long season yet.

Rockies, I accept I was wrong and you and eagle were more on the ball. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 21/05/2017 20:52:24 1989012 Link 0 |
I agree....Munster round robin tournament will be death knell of GAA. Keep the traditional Munster Championship. Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 21/05/2017 20:55:35 1989014 Link 1 |
Wow, I didn't give Cork a chance in this one, especially in Thurles. Thought Tipp would win with 5 or 6 to spare. Looks like the Championship is wide open this year. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 21/05/2017 20:58:11 1989015 Link 0 |
First of all well done to cork. All they've been missing the last few years is the dogged intensity and work rate. They out fought and outhurked tipp all over the field today. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 21/05/2017 21:02:14 1989016 Link 0 |
Wow, didn't give Cork a chance. Heart warming and well done. Looking forward to the remainder of the championship. Glensboy (Antrim) - Posts: 286 - 21/05/2017 21:11:05 1989022 Link 0 |
