Cork great had no time for Canning’s ‘train’ comments on TV

The story rages on!

While on punditry duty for RTÉ, Joe Canning and Dónal Óg Cusack got into a heated argument over Canning's suggestion that the hype around Cork seeps into the mentality of the team, and is one of the reasons why they underperform in big games at Croke Park.

The specific example Canning gave was about the trains for All-Ireland final day being booked out, despite the semi-final not having been played, and Cusack did not take too kindly to it, as you can read here.

Ahead of today's second semi-final between Limerick and Clare, Rebel legend Patrick Horgan touched on the subject but made it clear he would rather speak about happenings on the pitch rather than trains.

He said: "He brought up trains, so we'll talk about that.

"We were there yesterday, we're here today, and the best analysis we could come up with the best talking point was a train being sold out.

"We want to talk about something that actually happens between the white lines and what happened yesterday as to why a team won or lost.

"Today we probably shouldn't talk about trains."
