Bring a friend option moves me to 314 - stuck in the corner :mad:

Well in fairness, I can see how it would be unfair if your friend got as good a seat as the season ticket holders or did one out of a good seat. However, it'll be interesting to see just how good the seats are for the season ticket holders when they issue.

your friend

Its the wife and she's from Galway !!

If you book the "2014 Football Feast Package - Quarter & Semi-Final Days" at the moment you get 307 so it will be interesting to see where season ticket holders are seated.

Hope cork aren't a banana skin, still can't understand how they have fallen back so far, so would be wary of them. We would need to see another improvement on Sunday.
I wonder could Galway surprise Kerry, I didn't see the full game on Saturday but they are well fit to score.

I don't think Cork should be a banana skin, if Mayo were to lose this one it would confirm my concern that they did not have it in them for 2014,
But I think they will win it, and without too much drama.
Cork are very unsettled, Mayo are in a much better place.

As for Galway v Kerry, I think Galway will help Mayo by exposing some of the weakness in Kerry, the Cork game gave no clues to how good or bad they actually are.

A detailed look at the stats from the Cork Mayo game

Also Andrew O'Sullivan has quit the Cork panel - when you consider he started 7 out of the 8 games Cork played in the league and came on in sub in the other one. Was subbed before half-time in the Tipperary game, as an unused sub in the Kerry game and was named as a sub for the Sligo game but was replaced by Cathal Vaughan on the subs bench pretty much just before throw-in.

Some fall from grace and while his performances were fairly mixed but you would have to question the whole man-management side of things. Heard whisperings from over the county bounds that there is a fair bit of tension in the camp - assuming that Cuthbert is still there next year to see out his 2nd year (and all indications are that he will) -don't be too surprised if there are a few more who pack in inter-county football

As regards Mayo's game I expect Mayo to progress - the Cork midfield is a disaster zone which will mean that their quality forwards will struggle to get sufficient ball to do enough damage - I'd expect Hurley to be moved back into the square and the notion of him playing around the 40 to be thrown out the window - he's not in form now, but as seen during the league when he does hit form he can/will be lethal - He's still only a young'un at this level but I expect him to come good before too long.

Don't be surprised if Cork's tactics are pretty much identical to how they played against Sligo, in terms of their defensive setup. Their lineup is likely to be fairly similar too - might see Gould get the nod over Maguire and wouldnt be shocked to see Kelly get back in, but changes are likely to be pretty minimal.

booked last night 😀

306 Lower cusack. Grand job

304 Row G

Am pretty sure that Section 333 is the Ard Comhairle section, where all the posh VIPs sit. You'll be bang on the half way line. Tell El Presidente we say hi.

Edit: 331 is the Ard Comhairle, not 333. You are just one section over from it. Still great seats though.

Fair bit of ball to be played yet but after lumping a decent stake @ 11/8 on COC to win an All Star. Surely by the end of the year especially on his current form he'll earn a long awaited award regardless how we do from Sunday onwards
