What a hugely disappointing day for Cork and their supporters, after the match their manger Pat Ryan was interviewed and once again the Glanmire man was hugely respectful to Tipperary and gracious in defeat.
You have to have huge respect for Pat Ryan and the tough year his gone through.

Well said that man. Gracious in defeat. A credit to himself , Cork and the GAA .
An absolute sporting Gentleman. Gracious in Victory and Defeat. Pat Ryan is a great man.
