In the end of season stats will that count as a header?? With his own assist?
Will someone please inform football commentators (I have emailed 5Live and the BBC on this to no avail) that the Spanish name Javier is pronounced "Hav ee er" not "Have ee ay". He's not French!!
You have too much time on your hands!!

We'll take from here AZ but thanks!QuoteThe strike leaders were saying that Ger's approach was holding them back but also that what they were doing was for the good of Cork hurling.
A lie, plain and simple. They were doing for the good of their own (the senior) Cork hurling team.QuoteThere were excuses made last year for not measuring up but now they have had a clear run. So where is Cork senior hurling now? Better off or in a worse place?
Cork played all the other AI semi finalists this year and they beat one, drew with the other (seconds away from a win and a Munster title) and lost to the other. IMO Cork are not as good as any of those 3 teams so that record is quite impressive. Considering that they are still backboned by the same players that were winning AI's 8-10 years ago that is quite an achievement. So I'd certainly say they are no worse off.
I also find it ironic that the defenders of the CCB are ignoring the fact that Kilkenny have been very successful at underage over the past 10 years while Cork haven't won a minor or U21 in that time, but in fairness that's Donal Og's fault too I suppose.QuoteLast year pro strike posters were using the 'first year syndrome' to deflect criticism and as Skull pointed out they're trying to deflect criticism now by implying some of us are obsessed, hateful or irrational.
I wouldn't label any of the others as that but you are and no, we didn't use first year syndrome as an excuse. There is always a bedding in process but we wouldn't have to point that out if you didn't blame every Cork defeat, league or championship on the strike.
I could go on but here are some facts.
1. Cork played Tipp, Waterford, Antrim and Kilkenny - won 2, drew 2 (losing in ET) and lost 1. Considering their opponents it isn't a bad record.
2. Reached their first Munster final since before Gerlad's reign.
3. Wouldn't have even been in the semi final if Gerlad had still be manager because most of teh players that played yesterday wouldn't have been there.
While I can accept any man might find players striking as distasteful, how anyone could try and suggest that Cork would be better off if they had faced down the players is beyond me. Have ye not seen how Limerick has panned out?

Cormac Donnelly of Antrim must be in with a shout. Huge fella. Sent Aisake flying on his arse a couple of weeks ago. I know Aisake isn't hugely built but had at least has 4 inches on Hippy
