Tomas O Se is very popular in Cork and I'm sure if Nemo win the final he will get a bit of good-natured ribbing that he had to join a Cork team to win an All-Ireland club final medal :-).

Some achievement for Tomas to get man of the match in a 90 minute game at 40 years of age at this level of the game. Class is permanent, the best of luck to Tomas & Nemo in the final. Nemo? Of all teams! I loved Tomas when he played for Kerry but I’d not wish them luck for all the literal and metaphorical tripe in Cork (neither of which have supply side issues). Parish pump rivalry wont get in the way of my joy at seeing Tomas one more time in Croker. His family live and work in Cork.

Yeah - like a Cork team will beat a team wearing Green and Gold in Croke Park Nemo have a different mentality to the Cork senior football team. Cork have a soft centre and tend to fold when the pressure comes on them in big games. Nemo don't do that too often. I'm not saying they'll beat Corofin but they have beaten stronger opposition than them on the way to the final.

I would wish Tómas and all belonging to him the best of luck where ever they choose to express themselves. We are eternally indebted to them for what they did for us and the least we can do is to reciprocate that same spirit.

I know they do and it will get in the way of mine- parish pump rivalry is what the GAA is all about! I loved watching Paul Galvin in a Kerry jersey but I'd not cheer him on if he was wearing the blue of Dublin

If we cannot begrudge our nearest neighbours success, what is the gaa all about! And for the record, I am pretty neutral on this.

I hope Slaughtneil win. It would be horrible to see Tomas lining out for a Cork team in an All Ireland final in Croke Park. I see the Nemo manager say if they reach their Munster Final level they should win - at least he's honest. Personaly I'm delighted that Tomas gets to play in another All Ireland. He has given us years of enjoyment and his committment has been immense. I wish him best of luck in the final.

After everything Tomas has given the county, I find it hard to believe people would begrudge him winning an all ireland club medal, no matter who it is with.

I follow neither nemo nor corofin- if it came down to a choice between Galway and cork then I’d go with the former. Surely it’s An easily understandable viewpoint

What does this mean exactly? Genuinely surprised at some of the sentiments on here. I'm trying to put myself in the same situation, say, if Graham Canty moved to Killarney and was about to play for Crokes in an AI club final. It probably wouldn't make me want Crokes to win, but it would at least offer a big silver lining if they did. I'd be nothing but delighted for Canty himself. I wouldn't find him playing for a Kerry club galling in the slightest either, like Ó Sé, it would be just circumstantial. Ó Sé's performance on Saturday at nearly 40 will be talked about for a long time.

With respect, that's not even an attempt at answering my question. And nobody is suggesting that we (or ye) need to be of the one opinion.

I wanted slaughtneil to win this years all ireland as their efforts in both codes for a club not much bigger than Dromid is extraordinary.
But now that they are out and given that corofin won it a few years ago, i hope nemo win this one for the sake of tomas.

Literal tripe is the tripe that is sold as a traditional cork dish, metaphorical is referring to the arrogant boasting and nonsense that I would generally associate with nemo.

Moving Tomas & Greaney from St Pats aside, personally I’d have no issue with Nemo winning it, I might even have a punt on them just to relieve any doubts that I might have!!! Corofin are a tough outfit though.

Stacks played the Nire a few years ago - a small club in Waterford from what I know. I cheered for the Rock but a small club like the Nire going all the way makes this competition worth watching. Tomas drove 1000's of miles up and down to Killarney for Kerry over the years and I wish him well in this final regardless of who he is playing with. Nemo do not equate with the Cork football team.

I still have no idea what you're specifically talking about with regards the traditional Cork dish stuff, but it basically comes across as a generalisation of the gibberish variety to be honest. As for Nemo's arrogant boasting, well, they are the most successful club in the country. Expecting humility would be like asking ye lot not to mention your 37 All Ireland's.

I cannot understand the antipathy to Nemo on this forum by some people. If you appreciate good football you have to admire. The way they dismantled Crokes was football of the first rank. They always attempt to play proper football , not just now but down the decades. I wishe them well and not just for,the sake of Tomas.

In the past twelve months Nemo have changed their style of play from their traditional long kicking game to a more running game with more bodies behind the ball and counter attacking. The turning point was their semi final loss to Ballincollig in 2016. Sadly a case of if you can't beat them, join them. Looking forward to their final against Corofin who I rate as one of the best kick passing teams in the country. Hopefully its a fine day and we get treated to a shoot out.

Well there’s a few elements to that question- hypothetically yes but my own biases overtake any dedication to the beautiful game. If Kerry beat Dublin in the AI final this year by 3 points to 2 in a horrendously dull affair then I’ll not be seen in work for the week. Maybe it’s the way my brain is wired but the end result is all that matters. I didn’t see too many of us complaining that Dublin’s free flowing attacking football should have won the AI in 2014 while we were squeezing the life out of a Donegal team in a drab final

Twas difficult enough to get some posters on here to support Kerry club teams (featuring pillars of the county football successes such as KD and Colm Cooper) let alone row in with a Cork team featuring another of those pillars!
