Stopping the Limerick powerhorses through the tackle is bring results, reducing the throws handpasses have brought results too, thought Cork for most parts brought that to the game..

Easier said than done considering the size of these lads, and they have a fair bit of skill too.

Not sure if Aaron Gillane scored from play, and that is a huge ask also, so a few things went well for Cork on the day..

It is, but Cork had no choice as their own championship life depended on getting the win, they were full blooded in that regard, but the question is, were Limerick?

Even with this defeat they're still favourites for the Munster final with Waterford left in their sights in two weeks time.

Clare beat Waterford and there's the Munster final pairings sorted.

Tipp need to beat Cork or they're out also.

Both are on RTE so that'll please everyone including Donal Óg and any OAP's who've no internet up a mountain somewhere who'd never been able to see the game anyway before GAAGO.

If there's a silver-lining to yesterday's performance it's that Armagh put on an exhibition on why the attacking mark should be ditched. Such a stupid rule.

Odd take. I think the attacking mark works. I also don't know why you would get rid of it because 2 Armagh players didn't have a shot.

not really, ive seen it happen a lot now esp in club games. Players are told take the mark regardless. it's pointless, it actually stops attacking play. it's the safe option, taking a mark and playing it backwards just stupid. it should have been binned but its getting to a mockery stage now. if they are going to keep it it should be tweaked that you must take a shot or that the ball must go forward.

Aye , but  sure  the start  of this thread was for the Pogues , and I'm sure some picked  The Irish Rover and Waltzing Matilda .

Anyway , I'm not much of a Nirvana fan , but I did like the unplugged album ,  hence the inclusion of 1 and 3

That is an absolutely outstanding interview by Burns, cutting through the waffle.

This line from Jarlath Burns sums up the like of Simon Harris getting involved:

You would almost think there was an election coming up."
