letting teams go for the levelling score even when the time is up has happened on numerous occasions. for example the AI Final 2013. even though the time was up and cork were a point up, the ref let clare play on and well, we all know what happened. every team benefits and likewise, looses a win because of this. just be happy it happened during a round robin rather than the AI final! alls well thats ends well HonCork (Cork) - Posts: 6 - 21/04/2025 17:35:27 2603446 Link 0 |

I agree with Bon. There should be a hooter, then everyone knows that that is the last play. It cuts both ways, I can think of a couple of occasions where a ref blew up a game when a player had the ball in hand and was just about to shoot for the winning score.

It was in some way better for Clare that Cork got that equalising point. It was very satisfying, and took a phenomenal effort, that Clare got back level and even took the lead but they really did not deserve to win based on their performance overall. And likewise Cork did not deserve to lose. This means that while there is still hurt in the Clare lads as they travel to Waterford next week their self-belief is still intact after that recovery. There is no doubt the size of the task that awaits them in Waterford but I believe if they do not come away with a win they will still struggle to get out of Munster.

Agree. Definitely when the play went dead the game was over except there was deliberate time wasting. If that was the case the team captains should be told so and how much extra will be played. It was just two seconds short of two extra minutes from the official posted time to actually when the final whistle went. This is not fair to have this discretionary time in the hands of the ref when this decision may end up with a team being out. The clock and hooter would put and end to this with the clock running when the ball is in play.

Yere big men in the forwards will cause us nightmares. It has to be defending by committee or disaster. All the talk about Cork forwards true but those Clare guys can trample on you.

I will tell you one thing now Clare posters and you won't like it but only for Cork your Clare team would not beat Limerick last year and haven't beaten them for a long time. Cork still have 30 All Irelands to Clares 5 All Irelands and Clare havent won Munster title since 1998. Cork have won munster 8 times since 1998 and we are supposed to be playing catchup to Clare, get out of here ffs. Clare have won munster 4 titles ever in their history, get out of here.

I can't get 'em all right. I'm only averaging 87% correct these days. In my younger days I'd a 95% correct record. I actually got the English Grand National winner correct. I didn't even know that Ireland had a GN, so obviously I didn't get that one right. I didn't get it wrong either. I was actually sickened to see Cork footballers lose that game. And sickened also that Cork hurlers didn't lose. So, you can't say that I'm anti-Cork. I'm a balanced person. Three powerful games in Munster though. The two in hurling and CK/Yerras in football. But if we had that every weekend, wouldn't we be spoiled (with different winners and drawers of course)! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2194 - 21/04/2025 23:44:06 2603524 Link 0 |

They have 2 AIs to your none in the last 20 odd years. I'm pretty sure Hoggy would rather have what some of the Clare lads have, and would gladly swap his Munster medals for them. We won a Football 4 in a row, we have as many if not more Football AIs than any county in Ulster. No Wexford poster would claim that means we are a better Football county than any Ulster county. It's up to your lads to change that, but it's actually shocking when you consider how many hurlers you have from underage upwards in your county, and how hurling mad vast areas of your county are, that you haven't won an AI in so long. There's massive support for your hurlers in West Cork also, I watched your round robin win over Limerick in a packed bar in Inchegeelagh last year.

Cork do seem to get a lot of players sent off… probably more than the other counties. It's surprising really as they certainly are not a "dirty" team, and have probably the most skillful players in the country. Presumably, they need to learn not to react to provocation, and that's something that needs to be instilled into them!

You're right, I think both teams are happy enough with the point, will park this game and look ahead to this weekend. The games come thick and fast in the Munster round robin, and teams have to dust down, regroup,and go again. Cork have a tough joust against Tipperary, whilst Waterford are waiting for Clare in Walsh Park . A lot to look forward to!

I tell you one thing and you won't like it. Only for a hairy decision or two ye would not have come out of Munster and on top of that we beat ye.

Some hurling people complain about changing the color of the ball. Imagine what would happen if this was brought in....

We beat Limerick in Munster in 2023, is that a long time in your eyes? I'm 38 and have seen Clare win 4 All Irelands. Cork have also won 4 since I was born. When you start having a go at a county for their perceived lack of silverware you have really lost the argument. I prefer my own lived experience like 2013, 2024 and the last 5 championship matches we have played in which ye have failed to win 1. There was a large contingent of young cork supports in Ennis who have never seen Cork win an All Ireland LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2696 - 22/04/2025 21:59:28 2603766 Link 0 |

Best in mind also ye have 4 times our population. Your lack of success is laughable to be fair.

In Fairness if they had the most skillful players in the country, they would be twenty years wothout an All Ireland. You have to prove that repeatedly on the field. By

Check your facts. 1889, 1914,1932, 1995, 1997 and 1998. How that us that add up to four??

I'm surprised people take the poster "cork for Liam" seriously..,, he's obviously winding people up. Looks like he disturbed a hornet's nest. There's another poster "Limerick for Liam" who makes the same wind up comments. Have to laugh! Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 529 - 23/04/2025 11:23:15 2603827 Link 0 |

Don't forget Clare were under the Biddy Early curse from 1914 to 1995. She was bad.. almost in the same league as the widow woman who cursed Mayo!
