Replying To catch22: "Cork in control all over the pitch.Playing the game on their terms. Dubs are in bad need of goals or it's all over and there doesn't look to be much hope of goals. Dublin never really looked like winning this one." 5 bad wides for the Dubs late on but Cork deserved their victory. 1-25 to 0-22 Crummey & Dillon were snuffed out all game. Danny and EOD and Conor Burke were excellent for us but the Cork backs were in control throughout. EOD is an absolute colossus...! Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3309 - 07/11/2020 17:27:42 2305862 Link
Replying To katser: "Exactly, their panel isn't that good so it's easy enough to pick the starting 15! 3 weekends in a row and also not in the cushy surroundings of Croke Park, I reckon Cork will blow them to the moon in Semple Stadium" No surprise, comfortable win for Cork as expected. katser (Galway) - Posts: 1058 - 07/11/2020 17:28:03 2305863 Link
Beaten in almost every line. Lost individual battles and weren't able to get ball into the forwards. Cork played us very well, congratulations to them they needed a result and performance after last week and got it. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 3671 - 07/11/2020 17:28:13 2305864 Link
Replying To SaffronDon: "Has anybody told Dublin they need goals to win this now??" Should have brought on David Tracey to beef up the forward line... Cork backs were in full control. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3309 - 07/11/2020 17:29:36 2305865 Link
Replying To PoolSturgeon: "They missed an easy 20m free in the first half!" Great display by Laois. Pity they didn't get the win. MicktheMiller (Offaly) - Posts: 112 - 07/11/2020 18:02:50 2305873 Link
Very poor touch, dreadful ball out of defence, over hit, under hit. Ball skills in backline not up to this level. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4434 - 07/11/2020 18:14:48 2305881 Link
Replying To Fionn: "Should have brought on David Tracey to beef up the forward line... Cork backs were in full control." I'm not sure it would've made a difference. The ball wasn't going in around the square at all. Lads hitting efforts wide when they shouldve been working it in low or even high into the square. It looked almost as though Dublin had accepted defeat and were happy to chip away at the lead towards the end. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2020 - 07/11/2020 18:39:46 2305887 Link
Dublin are always going to be the nearly men of Hurling. Going round in circles year after year. I don't care what anybody says tradition definitly counts in GAA. Cork believed all day long they'd beat Dublin. Dublin on the other hand never believed they beat Cork . Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 979 - 07/11/2020 18:55:21 2305889 Link

They're not far off and they will make a break through. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 1082 - 07/11/2020 21:47:52 2305943 Link

Ah look its always easy to write off a team after a loss but I think Dubs will be in the mix again shortly.A few tweaks here and there and who knows. I honestly think it will happen for them sooner rather than later. I admit they seem to be gioing backwards a little the last few years but that can change again. I remember Clare being spoken of the same way before 95. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 630 - 07/11/2020 22:15:03 2305952 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "While I agree with you 100% I hope they stick together and keep trying. They're not far off and they will make a break through." Absolutely, as hurling fans we'd love to see Dublin win something. They never kicked on from 2013 which is a shame. There's an awful lot of talented players there but they just seem to lack the belief. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 979 - 07/11/2020 22:15:29 2305953 Link
Replying To joeteor: "How come there is a hurling back door but none for football? When you add in the round robins in the lower tiers there must be a lot more games being played in the hurling." No round robin in the lower tiers this year...good man do try keep up if you are going to moan about things ArmaghCat (Armagh) - Posts: 61 - 07/11/2020 23:00:26 2305971 Link

Probably have a better chance than Trump has in 2020 or 2024! Cork were very good today, and Robbie O Flynn excelled. Weather was better and these Cork players game was suited to that! Roll on Cork and best of luck to Dublin in future. No such good wishes for Donald J Chump Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 535 - 08/11/2020 00:03:08 2305979 Link
The only time the Dubs were really competitive was under Daly. They weren't the finished article but they were dangerous. The Ger Cunningham term in charge was a disaster for them and it went downhill and hasn't really recovered. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 1647 - 08/11/2020 08:30:24 2305990 Link

It knocked them right back after the brilliant foundations laid by Daly Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3309 - 08/11/2020 10:49:28 2306017 Link

Especially Daly coming from a background in Clare where they were being hammered by everyone before loughnane took over them and he in turn hammered self belief into them. Then Get Cunningham comes in a kicked a lot of their good Hurlers into touch. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 979 - 08/11/2020 12:16:00 2306039 Link
