If cork lose tonight I can't see them getting anything off a desperate for the points pats side at the weekend.
All down to the final game !!??
Maybe, but I wouldn't want to be taking that chance. We want Cork nice and disinterested on Friday. Oh, and Limerick to beat Galway, if you're up there Superman.Quote:

That cork team being league champions is like the time david arquette was wcw champion.
Hard to decide which is grating most - Ger "Quehane" Canning or Corks lack of cutting edge
The ridiculous Ger Canning is the only commentator I've ever heard refer to attacking players as "raiders". He's used the term about five or six already this game and I've often heard him use it before. Always makes me laugh.
It reminds me of goalkeepers being referred to as "custodians of the goal" in football articles where the journalist has evidently run out of synonyms to use after "net keeper" or "net minder".
And where did Canning get "Drew" Jarvis out of?! :rolleyes:
Canning referring to Rory Patterson as "Ronan" now... He'd be better sticking to commentating on croquet or dressage, or whatever it is he's into.
The league about to be won by a team showing relegation form?
Cork looking like they might just about pull themselves over the line in reverse-gear tonight.
This is painful to watch, how we relinquished a league title to Wimbledon
Well done Cork
The atmosphere is really poor for a team who are a minute away from winning the league title. The crowd seem positively underwhelmed. Cork's stuttering form and performance might have just about sucked all enthusiasm out of their poor supporters.
Congratulations to the RTE broadcasting crew who will no longer have to travel the country watching this poison.
Haha, Campion is absolutely not a "flair player"!
Canning, hi... :rolleyes:
I wonder how many other people on here understood this immediately.Quote:

No trophy presentation on the night the league was won this year either? Poor form from the FAI again. They've had months to plan for this.
Anyway, congrats to Cork. Got there in the end.
I'd assume Cork asked for it to be held off, get another decent crowd for the last day of the season.Quote:

Maribor 0 Liverpool 7.
Rarely have I regretted choosing to watch a loi match
What a surreal feeling this is. The absolute blistering first 2 thirds of the season and the hard slog to get it over the line. Never experienced such a nervous atmosphere at the cross but such a great feeling to run out on the pitch and celebrate with the players and fellow supporters. CHAMPIONS
The Confederate flag has controversial connotations; it was the banner under which the Confederate pro-slavery states fought in the American Civil War and, in a modern-day US context, it is associated with neo-Nazis, far-right nationalists and unashamed racists in the deep south.Quote:

I dunno if Cork GAA fans still wave it as there was a lot of debate (and official condemnation) in respect of its use during the summer, probably as the flag's more toxic and unsavoury associations gained a bit more notoriety on account of increased media exposure and coverage of right-wing reactions to and protests against the Black Lives Matter movement in the US. The GAA might well have banned the flag actually.
I think the supposed "connection" between Cork GAA and the flag has always been fairly superficial really; it was due to the flag's red and white colouring, along with the fact the Confederate flag is also known as the "rebel flag". Cork is known as the "Rebel County", of course. I don't think there was anything deeper or more significant to it than that apparent shared sense of rebelhood.
I'm not certain either whether or not the well-intentioned "rebel" thing is why those lads in the photo up-thread are displaying it, or if they're just being intentionally antagonistic and trying to provoke a reaction from someone whilst knowing full well the flag's contentious nature. I'll guess it's the latter, judging by their gestures.
Is the flag often seen in Turners Cross?
Good summary. Personally, I've never seen it.Quote:
