[Cunny Funt]

A draw game, decent result for Cavan considering they were away and had weakened side out.

Look at Cavan this week. They've had a turnover of ten players. Ten of their best players, after careers lasting about 3-4 years, have decided to call an end to playing county football. Look at their team for (the draw with Clare). It's a team of kids. And in three or four years, they'll say 'what is the point of this?'

Cavan did not lose 10 of our best. Our top 7 or 8 players are still all there. There is an issue with the lads dropping off but let's not make it out to be something it's not.

Odd game in Ennis. Could have won it despite being second best for much of the game. We fielded a lot of lads that just aren't near Division 2 standard. Badly need Martin Reilly and Gearoid back. Our attack is completely rudderless when Mackey isn't on the field.

And as for the referee. One of the worst displays I have seen in a few years. Throwing the ball up because Galligan gave the ground a few tips to place the ball before taking a free was probably the highlight. Missed a punch to the face by the Clare number 9 that everyone in the ground saw. A performance so bad that it influenced the result of the game.

Fine game in Cork. Tipp kicking for home but a Cork goal keeps them in it.

[Blowitupref]

Cork 1-13 Tipp 2-13 56 mins played. end to end stuff now no blankets to be seen in this game

[Blowitupref]

FT Cork 1-16 Tipp 3-16. Well done to Tipp they stepped it up big time 2nd half.  Cork won't be pushing for promotion if they are to defend that poorly in the rest of their games.

[Syferus]

All the Munster teams have defensive troubles.. should be a good game at Semple next weekend.

[theticklemister]

Great game

[Captain Obvious]

Lack of experience in that Cork defence couldn't handle Quinlivan,Sweeney and McGrath at all.

[seafoid]

Very good win for Tipp

What was their excuse for the poor defence the last five years then, Cap?

Agree with most of that. That referree was one of the worst I ever saw. He single handedly gave Clare 3 points from frees which were crazy. Our lads almost needed to be murdered to get a free. Allowing a Clare man take 10 steps for a shot at goal while earlier doing a cavan man for over carrying despite him not even having the ball in his hand was my highlight. A lot of passengers on that cavan team and Clare will be unhappy not to have taken all 2 points. Thought killian Clarke had a great game as did the holla. FF blunt as s butter knife.
