Angry Fans

There’s a veritable tsunami of criticism of the standard of umpiring during both senior hurling quarter finals at Semple Stadium at the weekend. The fans’ wrath is palpable and – to be honest – understandable

Cork hurling fans are still clutching at straws and in denial about the reality of them facing a long road back.   Their angry response to their beloved Rebels’ exit from the championship now surfaces in the form of snide comments about the remaining teams, especially Dublin.

The famous ‘folksy’ atmosphere of Thurles on big match days may not be all it’s cracked up to be, judging by fans’ criticisms of increasingly loutish behaviour in the famous Square.
