WhatsApp rumour mill has been in overdrive but that's not why the Cork hurlers came up well short on All-Ireland Sunday... Looking at the calls and moments that created the perfect storm against Tipp.
WhatsApp rumours can't explain away how Cork hurlers imploded at Croke Park. What really happened the Rebels against Tipp? echolive.ie/corksport/arid…
I came out of my writing hiatus to express my PTSD post Sunday... Thanks @echolivecork for allowing me to depress a county once again!
Joanne O'Riordan on the devastating impact of All-Ireland defeat: 'There is no instruction manual for this kind of grief. It’s not death. It’s not illness. Yet it clings to you. It stiffens your jaw, hollows your chest, tightens your throat...' echolive.ie/corksport/arid…
Outstanding from @JoanneOR_Ox Absolutely nails how utterly painful a defeat like last Sunday for Cork. It's 'only sport' but also far more than just that...

Not really true but they know they can say it and it won't be challenged. But let's challenge it. We provided more "football" coaches for workshops than we did hurling for the few years I was involved with Coach Education. Also @GrowCoach_ @evanalmighty85 @GaelicSense

Looked at a few post-game issues after the All-Ireland loss to Tipp from the makeup of next year's Cork panel to freezing on the big day... #RebelsAbú
Who will retire? Which young players are ready to come in? Will Pat Ryan opt for another term? Do Cork have a mental block in All-Ireland finals? Éamonn Murphy on the big questions after a harrowing loss in Croke Park. echolive.ie/corksport/arid…
Joined today by @RnRor, John Horgan and @Denis_Hurley to pick through a disastrous display by Cork. We also look at what changes to expect to the set-up and panel in 2025 and the mental side of all the failures. echolive.ie/corksport/arid…
Few thoughts from that debacle. More to come on the Echo Podcast on Monday morning.

Not sure where they got all the tickets but it looks like it will be a sea of red at Croker again today
'The rest of the country have been very eager all year to tell Corkonians how they should act. They've been warned about the 'hype train' derailing. 'But championship campaigns are shorter than ever so no one should be afraid of enjoying the ride' echolive.ie/corksport/arid…
Trying to stay confident ahead of Cork v Tipp, despite the underlying nerves. #RebelsAbú #CorkvTipperary

Few thoughts on Cork v Tipp for those of you awake and wired about the All-Ireland. Whatever happens, don't listen to the begrudgers telling us how to act, celebrate or feel about Cork hurling. #RebelsAbú
