4 changes to Cork minor team for Munster showdown with Kerry

The teams clash in Tralee on Wednesday.

CORK HAVE MADE four changes for Wednesday’s Electric Ireland Munster minor football semi-final against Kerry in Austin Stack Park in Tralee.

Tom Bushe and Shane Kingston are both back from injury after missing out their opening round success over Limerick. Their return at wing-back and centre-forward respectively is a boost to Cork as both were involved in last year’s minor team.

Elsewhere Mark White gets the nod to start in goal while Seamus Madigan comes in at left half-back. Positional changes see Kevin Dwyer and captain Sean Powter switch to the corner-back positions.

Chris Kelly, Conor Dennehy, Nathan Walsh and Conor Hughes all drop to the bench.

    Chelsea fans are an embarrassment saying there is a campaign against them. seriously it’s amazing how mourinho has brainwashed them.

    The ‘campaign’ stuff is nonsense alright. Wouldn’t be taking that seriously though

    The FA’s rules here are mind-bogglingly stupid. Not surprised that this has happened, the rules are a joke. This kind of rubbish has really put me off watching football in recent seasons.

    What the hell was Matic supposed to do in the aftermath of the challenge? Barnes almost snapped his leg in two!

    It shouldn’t have been a red, he shouldn’t be banned at all and Barnes should be getting a lengthy ban.

    (And to clarify, I’m a Liverpool fan)

    “What the Hell was Matic meant to do”???
    Obviously not react the way he did which got him a three match ban reduced down to two…..
    (Barnes ‘tackle’ is irrelevant in all this)

    Regardless of the cause he shouldn’t have reacted with violence. I dont think the ban should have been reduced at all

    Costa was banned for the stamp on Skrtel because it is as violent conduct and skrtel didn’t push him to the ground after. If matic had had a normal reaction like skrtel then maybe Barnes would have been punished later

    FA called it a “violent response”. As Ger Loughnane said, you’d get worse coming out of Mass on a Sunday!

    This is it Thomas, the lack of proportionality in the punishments handed out are a massive part of the problem.

    Even if Barnes had been sent off as well, they’d have both got in or around the same length of ban, give or take a game or two. It makes no sense.

    I suggest you all take a look at Sean Dyche 10 min interview in relation to the game , he makes some very interesting points with video analysis.
