FOLLOWING HIS SIDES’ Championship exit at the weekend, Cork manager Brian Cuthbert stepped down from his role and his departure has sparked an angry response from some of the current panel.
The Rebels suffered an eight point defeat to Kildare in the All-Ireland qualifiers on Saturday and Cuthbert, who was in charge since 2013, decided not to seek another year in charge.
As the fallout continues, several players have taken to social media to express their gratitude for Cuthbert and his management team as well as blasting the critics.
Colm O’Driscoll didn’t hold back as he slammed the ‘cowardly people hiding behind technology’ while slamming the criticism levelled at Cuthbert as ‘bullshit’.
Goalkeeper Paddy O’Shea echoed those sentiments and admitted the players need to take a portion of the blame for Cork’s disappointing year.
Cuthbert’s indifferent reign ended with that ignominious reversal to Kildare and seven days previous, Cork were edged out by Kerry in the Munster football final replay.
As is pointed out by both O’Driscoll and O’Shea, Cork were seconds away from a provincial title and a ticket through to the All-Ireland quarter-finals until Fionn Fitzgerald kicked that last-gasp equaliser.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Ffs if Roy does a shit the press are asking Martin what kind of toilet paper is he using
Word of the day is “wedge” media trying to drive it between Ireland management team and goverment trying to give us the short end of it regarding irish water costs!
The media is bloody ridiculous, it’s gotten out of hand. This is some TMZ level nonsense.
Whether it’s a media thing or not, O’ Neill must have a pain in his arse answering questions about Keane
Who care ffs !! Write about something else will ya
Dear Journal,
Eagerly awaiting ma Roy Keane Press blackout.
Regards,
Don Juan.
Get rid of Keane he’s bad news
Wonder what Villa make of all this…………..
He hadn’t read them cos he’s sick of him! Get rid of him Martin
There were no “controversial remarks” – just another pathetic attempt by the media to create a rift in the Irish managerial setup.
The definition of a controversy is a ‘prolonged public disagreement or heated discussion’.
Regardless of whether you agree with Keane or not, his comments have clearly caused heated discussion, hence they’re controversial.
Absolute nonsense, this is the perfect example of a manufactured “controversy” and a continuation of the media “frenzy” surrounding the non-story “assault” at the team hotel before the Scotland game. Keane can’t move without the media blowing everything out of proportion. They know his name sells papers and doubly so if there is even the slightest hint of him getting annoyed. And can you blame him for asking “Who the hell do you think you are?” with the likes of this clickbait gibberish?
At what stage in the future will the Keane brigade start shouting about O’Neill not having a clue and telling us it’s time Roy took over. His consent forays into the headlines are tiresome and should do everyone a favour and go back to ITV. His time is nearly up at Villa anyway but I’m sure Lambert will get the blame there.
I thought the British media were bad. Our own lot are no better……These so called stories are non stories. Wouldnt be surprised if O’Neill walked away altogether.
Roy shocks the docile sheep by having a opinion and a pair of balls,!!!
It’s a perfect blend. Keane can go out and say what o Neill wants to say but can’t incase he offends. Great tactics.
I’d prefer our management team to be more concerned about tactics on the pitch – that Scotland side are no better than us man for man, but looked a much better side
Missed what keane said about grealish/grealish’s dad?
g shh hhh GB kk
