Cork only scored 2 points in that period?

It will be a new year and neither of those two teams are a shoe in to come out of Munster. My opinion is that if you look at the counties top 25 player choices Limerick are still strongest. No disrespect to Dublin but that was a day out of the mode for them. Limerick only need minor retooling. They are spoken of as if pensioners when in fact a mid aged team. Clare will also be a force but often hard to know what drives the tactics at times. Playing with guts and gusto seems to be their strength. I am predicting that in 2026 only one out of Cork and Tipp will advance. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3162 - 09/08/2025 01:25:07 2630683 Link 0 |

Tipp were all over Cork from early in the second half. After Horgan's missed free, Tipp outplayed Cork all over the field and were completely on top for 38 of the 39 minutes in the second period. True, Cork hit the posts with some long-range efforts, but significantly there was no Cork player on hand for the rebounds. At the other end, John McGrath showed what any good forward should do, and was ready to pounce on the rebound from the Cork goalie. That epitomised the difference between the two teams for the whole second half, not just for 28 minutes. There is no room for argument and no hard luck stories when a team loses by 15 points and score just two points in 39 minutes.

You could well be right, Canuck. Limerick and Clare will be chomping at the bit and both will be serious contenders next year. Tipp should be thereabouts but nothing is guaranteed, while it's impossible to forecast what Cork will be like. They could go all the way if they get things right. And nobody should write off your own county. Your brilliant minors will take another couple of years to blossom at senior level but, like the Tipp minors of 2024, they will have given the whole county a lift.

Have to laugh at all this anti Cork posts on this forum. It's hilarious and reflective of inadequate people posting on an irrelevant forum. Still, get it all out there, it's quite funny!! Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 586 - 09/08/2025 11:14:54 2630699 Link 1 |

I don't see too many people having a laugh at Cork, and certainly nobody that I know are writing them off for next year. Those who are posting genuine views on this or any other forum aren't necessarily "inadequate", unless by that you mean they are inferior to Cork people.

The last 28 mins of the second half (give or take a few seconds after which Tipp drew level." I'll admit I didn't word that post of mine very well, so What I'm saying is Cork score 1-16 in the first half and went in at half time leading by 00-06, they brought that lead into the second until Tipp took the lead in the 10th minute and never looked back. All I'm saying is Cork were worthy participants going out to start the second half until the 10th minute, at that point in time the game went belly up for Cork and Tipp took full advantage, Tipp then went on to clinch that all Ireland without breaking into a sweat. I will stick with my view that Tipp did not beat Cork over the 70 mins, rather they clinched the all-Ireland title over 25 mins plus injury time without breaking into a sweat and good luck to them in winning that all-Ireland final. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3238 - 09/08/2025 11:40:32 2630704 Link 0 |

Inclined to agree with you Canuck. You're placing Limerick close to the top of the pile, have given an honourable mention to Clare, and saying only one out of Cork and Tipp will advance. Do I take it from that you are dismissing your own county Waterford's chances of getting out of Munster? It will be an uphill task for sure...

Whatever! Post what you want! It's irrelevant to me!

Tipperary are always a serious team in an All Ireland hurling final. They have a great record in them. 29 wins and only 13 defeats. When Tipp caught fire in that second half, they were not going to be stopped. Cork will be back though maybe even next year.

I see that this Cork poster is displaying the exact fragile sensitivity that his hurling team displays. He is unable to take even one ounce of objective criticism. Poor little fella! Most comments on here are valid and objective; issues that the Cork team and management could well do with reflecting upon and trying to rectify! I have openly admitted on this forum well before they became known as "the two-point wonders" that I don't like this team. It is this exact flakiness of poster's like Ryan team (or crying team as it should be) and the Cork hurlers who cannot man up and be counted and face reality that drives that dislike! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2358 - 09/08/2025 14:18:05 2630723 Link 2 |

I dont think many, if any, of the posts on this thread are anti Cork Ryanteam. Think you are being a little paranoid there.

I'll second that. I scrolled through all the posts and couldn't find anything even resembling anyone laughing at Cork. I did this because I respect Ryanteams posts. In fact the opposite. The vast majority of posts were supportive of Cork hurling, if not all aspects of it. They are many's tip to be there or thereabouts next year in fact. Having said that, there was an incident at half time, and player power took over or at least influenced team selection in the second half. No amount of denial or wishing it away will alter this and it is an incident that needs sorting if Cork want to fulfill their undoubted potential. Just my opinion, even if from an irrelevant forum. We are all entitled to have an opinion, relevant or otherwise.

I think we would need a break. Like a bad call against the opposition like we have had on at least three occasions that are indisputable. However I also believe that too many of these great players are too close to the finishing line. The next generation that we get about every 10 years are 6 or 7 away. Hopefully the young players of today like the Fitzgeralds will be still there when the troops arrive. The story of our lives. I don't think we will disappear like the 70's and 80's though. I suspect your team will get there before us as having the ability to find good players quickly and go from 0 to 60 in a flash.

What was up with Austin Gleeson this year? When he did get a run he didn't look fit in the slightest, he should be playing a far bigger roll in that Waterford team. I think most people thought the year off might have done him the world of good. Hopefully they can get something from him next year.

He certainly looked way out of shape. Injury kept him from training properly. Next year might be a year too many. Not even the main man on Mount Sion who are not loaded with talent. Ballygunner can wait years for the train of talent. No hurry with getting Spain and others up. Cuddihy hitting frees over at will without Mahoney and adding in a few goals also. Never heard of until now. No end to their dominance in sight except they blow up in a game like Limerick. Not sure it is good but not their fault. The continuity from toddlers to senior is unreal.

I don't think anyone is digging the boot in as such. I get it though. I was out at the fleadh the other night with a friend of mine from Cork and he asked me before hand if we could just not talk about hurling. I'm still sore over 2019 semi final. I can't imagine how you feel. Probably won't go away until you win another one, which I'm guessing will be much sooner for you than for me. You will certainly see it. Nothing certain for me. There's only been one in my lifetime. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3882 - 10/08/2025 10:22:40 2630823 Link 0 |

Its a shame not to see him fulfill all his talent, a class act undoubtedly. Yeah saw a bit of bally gunner yesterday, frightening the amount of good young fellas coming up and they are well able to hurl too, Hartley looks to be the business. Think they won by 17 yesterday, commentator mentioned they had won their previous games in the Waterford SHC by a combined 80 points....

Do you think that if Wexford had beaten Tipperary in the 2019 semi final, Wexford would have beaten Kilkenny in the Final.? I think Kilkenny would have won a final against Wexford.
