    People need to take step back and remember where we were this time last year

    We got within 1 point of very strong Tipp team in Munster and we have got to league final playing some lovely Hurling.

    These young lads need time. They still have lot to learn and still very green. This process will take time, maybe up to 3 years. I still have faith that we are going in right direction. Maybe few bumps along the way, but that is expected when trying out new players and playing younger players.

    Not good enough to beat KK and Tipp at moment, but we are far more near this year then we were 12 months ago.

    Some just seem to think JBM can put in magicwand and everything should be fine. Its not that simple.

    I still think we are going in the right direction. If we were up against bigger opposition I think the lads would have upped the intensity a lot! We can only play against the opposition given. I think JBM was using the last 2 games to try out a few things. Granted though I would like to see him settling on a team now to some degree. Very plus side is that we have a great bench to work with.

    Btw, am i right in saying that if Waterford win today we would automatically meet Limerick in the QF? Due to the fact that both ourselves and limerick have already met tipp. Which would mean tipp have to meet kilkenny? Correct me here if im totally wrong

    Well it's irrelevant anyway because Tipp won but Cork and Limerick could never have met. The qualifier winners have to face one of the provincial losers.

    Of which kilkenny are one :eek:

    If we get Waterford we have about 55-60% chance of winning

    Get Kilkenny we have about .01% chance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 174 ✭✭croker1


    Oh ok i wasn't too sure about how the draw could go. So basically its kilkenny or waterford. Both would be extremely tough but im sure everybody would prefer waterford!!

    Full back is the real question for us

    I'd obviously prefer waterford, I reckon we would give them a good game with the real possibility of a win. KK would be a different kettle of fish. We would be expected to be on the receiving end of a backlash. I reckon some of the cork players wouldn't mind another cut off kk after the shambles of the lge final, they'd have something to prove themselves. Either way, I'm looking forward to the qf.

    If ye get Waterford would you fancy your chances?

    Repeat of 07 even.

    Definitely.

    They might be slight favourites but I don't see any reason why we couldn't win it. Especially since we look able to score lots of goals, all of the forwards that might possibly get a start have scored goals in the Championship this year bar Downes who terrorised Waterford last year. Waterford's defence is obviously stronger but I think we'd score a few anyway. I couldn't see there being more than 3 points in it either way.

    I'd say it's a similar story with Cork, both teams would fancy their chances against Waterford...but I'm really scared of Kilkenny. I know Galway showed they can be beaten but...I think they're just an absolutely brilliant outfit and will bounce back.

    Waterford it is, happy days. Really looking forward to that one, should be a fairly even game, definitely one we can win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,706 ✭✭✭premierstone


    Fancy Cork myself, having played both teams, I think Cork have the more balance, Waterford are far too reliant on Mullane, aside from him Prendergast is the only other forward that can win ball and he can't score!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Connorzee


    Any word on train specials to thurles?? They were doin €20 return for d earlier round

    Team will be announced tomorrow night. I wonder will he mix it up again. Don't think there are any major injury worries - Joyce maybe.
    I really hope our forwards continue scoring as well as they have been and the defence tightens up. If that happens, I'd be confident of a win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 82 ✭✭sheao


    Think Cork have enough in them to beat Waterford. Going to be a good game .


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,170 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc

    3 different full backs in 3 games. We already have used cahalane, o'sullivan, joyce, egan, in the backs plus whats picked for sunday so much uncertainty. I am shocked sean og is starting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    What is shocking about Sean Og starting? They've been looking to drop Egan for weeks and Sean Og came on for him the last day.

    He has not featured all year bar last 8 mins against wexford. Fear for his legs if its a dry day. Feel conor o'sullivan is very unlucky to not start


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,170 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    I reckon Seán Óg will do ok. He's not the kind of player to go on 40yard runs. He will certainly bring a lot of experience with him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭Mountainlad


    So, confident?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio

    No.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Burke15


    great to see Seán Óg back in the starting 15. A real leader


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,170 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    So, confident?

    Yes, I think Cork will beat Waterford tomorrow - not by much, but they will win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    Two Cork lads out tomorrow apparently, if you haven't put money on Waterford do so now.

    Who exactly? Also Corks bench includes a number of players who could have started anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    Lehane is out anyway.

    Pity - if he is. Plenty of options in the forwards - including Cronin, allowing for further options at midfield.

    That would be a big loss. If it was one of the wing backs I wouldn't be too worried if I was ye, but any the loss of 1 or 2 forwards would be a big blow.

    Kildare it is then, bring them on!!!

    And then Kerry or Donegal in the semi!


  • Registered Users Posts: 37 christine08


    Definitely the tougher route to the All Ireland if we can make it... Just means if we can get there no one can say it was a "soft" AI!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭Rebel1977


    Dublin have a nice soft route on paper. Interesting to see how kerry cope with donegal

    Donegal will make it hard for Kerry but,thinl Kerry will win. Cork could very well fcuk up against Kildare.

    I'd love to play Kerry again this year.


    Thrilling win for Cork today - semi-final of the all Ireland, fúcking delighted.:D


    I was confident of a win beforehand. We really should have scored more goals in the first half. The subs Cork brought on were hugely impressive I thought.

    To come from 3 down and win like that is great for a team that are so inexperienced. In the last 10 mins it could have went either way, but it didn't:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭Tipperary animal lover


    Great to see ye beat the blaaas, Waterford have nothing on the bench, should make a good semi final to young teams


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 941 ✭✭✭yomtea98


    Great win.Deserved.Lehane was not missed as much as I thought and subs were excellent.

    Well his replacement did well enough:)

    Lehane is the kind of player who could really use the size of Croker to his advantage.

    Delighted Seán Óg did well yesterday. I was genuinely thrilled when he drilled over his point. Some people were probably waiting for him to be crap so they could roll out the too old, slow etc line. He might not get his game the next day, but I hope he plays in croker again at some stage this year.

    McDonnell did quite well at full back I thought and will probably get the nod for the semi. This is a problem position for us but he was far more assured than what we've had there in previous games.

    Our full forward line are so dangerous in posession, all we need to do is work out how to get the ball to them:D - if only that was easy!

    Kildare on Sunday will be an interesting game. A few cobwebs will surely have some effect on Cork but over 70 odd mins - we really should be winning this one. In 2 minds about going, pub is a tempting option. A win would mean travelling for both the hurling and football semis, but having the second game aswell might just mean rounding up a car load for Sunday morning.
    Decisions, decisions:D
