cork will be going into the final now abit likeourselves in '05 have beaten not much of significance,meath confirmed what i thought about tyrone this summer and last summer,a fair bit of the pace,
league ratings and form was proberly realined yesterday with a div.1side beating a div 2 team. the leinster teams have been a fair bit of the pace in recent years,the question is now,how far ahead of the leinster teams are dublin?.
congrats to cork on reaching the final,it throws into quetion a small bit brehenys claims that kerry have it soft in munster,cork always have to beaten first to win an all-ireland and in recent times twice in the one year,cork are always a hard nut for kerry to crack.

You know what makes me most proud of Cork? [glow=red,2,300]The way they fought even at the end to keep the ball out of the goal, when really at that late stage it wouldn't have made any difference.[/glow] They really need to do it again for the final. Still haven't decided who I'd like Cork to be facing. Take note, thehighfield... Aaaah Peig! these guys are intercounty footballers, some of them playing for a place in the starting 15 next month. They were hardly going to stand aside. I still maintain the primary thrust of the initial post that Cork were not given a test yesterday and that a closely fought match would serve them better in September. See Kerry 2002, 2005 and Meath 2001

[quote author=mrtierneyesq board=general thread=1186253798 post=1187601144 Care to make a good argument as to why they wouldnt? Their backs are a better unit than yours, midfield is as good and is more mobile, up front they are hitting form at just the right time. They could have won by 15 points at least yesterday if theyd really gone for it The question ,as you well know, doesn't arise today and may well not do so any more this season. I hope to return to the subject in earnest next monday morning and if not then, next year. With the super dubs likely to roll over us, we need to concentrate on doing our best on sunday and not think about what might be etc.[/quote] Are you playing on Sunday?? This is a discussion board, and this thread is about Cork, so chill de feck out & join in the chat! If there wasnt speculation, we'd have little to talk about, I'm already talked out about sunday's game So come on Joxer, who do you think is better, Kerry or Cork, a serious analysis now please.............I'll buy you a 7-up in Joxer Daly's if you are honest.....

Nice try KG, Kerry are favourites and you know it. I'm calling it a 50-50 game personally, but the truth is that all Kerry folk expect a win, they do not believe that Dublin have what it takes., The bookies are seldom wrong, and even so, according to many on here, it's only daft Dubs who dont know anything about GAA lumping on the blues that has Dublin's odds so low

kerry were light years off the pace rashers v monaghan a div.2 side whereas cork comfortable beat the div.2 side that beat monaghan in that div.2 final.kerry will have too much to do in 2 weeks rashers and you know that also.
kerry are behind cork and dublin now in the pecking order,we have slip from no.1 of the big three to no.3,whereas cork and dublin have replaced armagh and tyrone at no 1 and 2,we will be lucky to get out of dublin with a draw the next day.

As you know, comparisons of form in GAA are so often odious. Coming into the quarter final last year, Kerry were living off reputation, or less - didnt stop them doing the business Cork's worth could only be truly measured by their performances against Kerry, and in that regard they have almsot matched the All-I champs over the past 2 years Monaghan? Not as good as some say, but better than the Kerry revisionistas (you!) would have people believe. However the main factor about that game, which you have conveniently chosen to omit, is that there was an outrageous 6-week break for Kerry. Yet they still did the business when it mattered, signs of a team that has the stomach for the long road, has a point to prove, and has alot of belief in themselves. Kerry did not go out to win Munster this year for nothing, they want to be All-I kingpinss as Munster champs, and they want to beat the likes of Dublin & Cork to put the icing on the cake We havent forgotten 84, 85, 86 when Kerry managed to get themselves written off, each time.........the bookies dont lie KG, if they have Kerry as favourites, then they mean it, because more peoiple would be lumping silly bets on Dublin & Cork right now

Where is Mickmack gone ? Up to beat the bejaysus out of the Meath lads for making an eijit out of him. Joxer - questions about Corks support yesterday - thats a bit rich coming from a Kerryman.

Well done Cork. Really stepped up to the mark despite missing Masters.
Was v. annoyed at Tony Davis saying that O'Leary shouldn't be suspended as he's playing well. What the hell does that mean. You can lamp people and get away with it provided you play well. (I know Kerry have pulled similar strokes with Daragh O Se and that wasn't on either).

the big question is will Neol O Leary be able to play in the final can the gaa revisit an incident once it has been dealt with ie his yellow card

While both Dublin and Kerry would prefer Cork to have full strenght sides, as would their supporters, and while it can be easy to rile Noel up in the heat of the battle (an advantage to any side), he should go for that puck. No doubt about it.
Good to see Frank Murphy will have something to do before the All Ireland final.....and the picture in the Irish Times today says what we all think.

Thought it was more of a jab than a punch meself Noely looks like he could be a good southpaw, I'd say himself & Galvin will be much more of a proper bout, with the victor on points, or a technical, rather than the easy GG knockout

lads frankie has it sorted out all ready,deal done before they even left croker yesterday i'd say.
anyway its not nice to see any lad miss out on an all-ireland final.If kerry get through at the weekend the spot light will be on neol to behave himself.

Maybe Geraghty is getting lessons from the Premiership.

Fair play to Geraghty for not making a fuss.
Was there more to the incident when Kieran O' Connor bundled Geraghty into the net. From what I saw it lookes that he (o'Connor) horsed him into the net and then had a little dig at him while he was on the ground. It totally loked OTT

By the way I'm not defending Noel, but there was a lot of other incidence in the game. You could be there all day if you tried to get the CCCC to look at all of them. (Such as the O' Connor Geraghty one at the end) But is it a case of what RTE decide to highlight? Compare it to what the Dublin hurler got away with it wasn't much.
Around the minute mark.

I know that Cork people love to give out about Dara and Galvin who they say are dirty but look at Noel. Hes been sent off against Kerry in league this year. Suspsended for kicking Galvin in Munster Final and has now been caught again punching a player. I would hope that Cork people now realise that people in glass houses should not throw stones.
At the same time I would not like to see him miss the final. The guy wears his heart on his sleeve if he played for Kerry we would love him. He like Galvin would go through a wall for you.
Also there's a good article about him in yesterday's Tribune. The guy had a few bad breaks in his life but he keeps a positive attitude and foot ball and his county mean a lot to him. You couldn't begrudge him a chance to play in an AI final (I would begrugde him a win if Kerry get there!)

O leary is a bit of a headcase but is becoming quite an influential player for cork. he was very good yesterday. The punch was a very half hearted effort. As for the geraghty in the goal incident, he had as much a hold of O connor as the other way round.

Mick, what happened to your Meath worshipping, and the "top class quality" of the Dublin-Meath games? Just back from a few days in the deep south........ First of all congrats to owenabue...... Colm o Rourke wrote before the game that the same confidence was in Meath as was there before the 2001 final v Galway. The loss of Masters meant that the rest of the Cork forwards were brought into play to great effect. Cork have shown their hand now and probably peaked...... not a good way to be in the final. This reflects well on Kerry........ a shot in the arm before Dublin. Meath had the sort of day that Kerry had in the 2001 semi final v Meath. They are better than that. Are Cork that good. The movement by the forwards and the scores taken was sublime, Were Cork shadow boxing all along......... remember the grin on billys face after the munster final. The munster final next year should be fun......... both sides trying to lose it

Nah, Meath folk clearly didnt believe in their team this year
