corcaighcailin9

Can't see another thread on this so thought I'd start one

What do people think? I'm quietly confident that the Rebels will win this one...

Why?

I think they've been playing well and Counihan has them well prepared for tomorrow. There isn't as much between Cork and Kerry as there has been in recent years and the gap is closing all the time.

Mr. Incognito

Kerry's weakness was full back last year- Griffin has been nailed in there under Jack.

He would have done a number on Cavanagh but Pat didn't play him in there for some reason known only to himself.

Kerry are just too strong. I can't see any sector Cork could have an edge.

Kerry's forward line is better than Corks back line.
Kennelly is an unknown but I reckon a ten year vetern professional should be able to hold his own.
Griffin providing a solid platform from the backs.

No way Cork will be able to pull this one out- also Kerry are undefeated this season. No one seems to be mentioning this- one draw to Dublin I believe and the rest were wins in the league.

No chance. There is at least three players starting on the Cork team who shouldn't be there, Gooch will have a field day on the completely inexperienced Carey and we can't rely on Dara O'Se getting sent off.

We will lose by a few, the hype will disapear and hopefully Conor will finally pick the right team through the qualifiers, one that includes Colm O'Neill, Paudie Kissane and Noel O'Leary, and Kelly and O'Neill playing in their right places.

For tomorrow, I'm just hoping Conor put out a duff team to humour the Cork and Kerry fans. Kerry by three at a canter.

Lot of people Gave Cork No chance last yr in the Munster Final and looked what happened in the second Half.

Think conor is picking players on form and have a bit of faith in the Man.

Cork have a great chance to go all the way this yr and for one would like to see it.

That saying if Limerick play cork in the Munster Final i would want us to beat the rebels:)

Orizio

Oh I have no doubt he is playing lads on form, what he sees in training and during the league, which is why we don't have our best 15 out, or even something close to it. Quirke, Alan O'Connor, Spillane? :rolleyes:

I think Kerry will probably win this one, but really does it matter? Yes I know it matters in terms of a Munster title, but I mean in terms of an All-Ireland probably not.

We know Cork can beat Kerry in Munster, it's in Croke Park they have to do it. Whoever wins/loses this game I don't think it will make a huge difference, Kerry will still be All-Ireland favourites and Cork will still be there or thereabouts as contenders. But Kerry won't want to lose to Cork in Munster two years in a row so I can see Kerry winning this by about 4 points.

Kerry supporter here, going to Killarney tomorrow with a very open mind, would be delighted naturally for Kerry to win but would not be one bit surprised if Cork win. It will go to the absolute wire and if the day pours rain (like today here) then Cork will edge it.

Can't wait for the game. Couldn't go as im studiying for my LC

Unfortunatly we have to sit through TV3's coverage!

-Eugeen "Kerry are Useless" Magee- He just said Kerry Don't know how to win the big games. Right, because we lost to Tyrone, 35 AI's mean nothing!
-Peter "Im only going to talk about Tyrone even though they are not playing" Canavan- Expalains itself really
-Matt Cooper- No personality and no clue about football but doing ok at making sure everyone gets their shout in.
-Senan Connell - The only one not talking S**te. Really impressed. Now if they got rid of the other two!

EDIT: Ok just muted the tv, or i'll smash it. Magee has started his Kerry bashing early... I hate him!

Orizio

Kieran O'Connor is starting...it gets even worse.

DDC1990

Ah come off it, you were moanin about Carey earlier...
Why aren't you at the match. I have an excuse :P

eoin99

I know it's probably a long shot, but TV3 aren't streaming this are they?

Other then walking to it, wouldn't have been able to go. No spin.

Carey is a rookie, O'Connor is a squad player. Both would have/are going to struggle on the gooch. Lynch seems to have picked him up, not sure he really has the legs.

What a disgraceful attempt at a penalty...:D:D:D Gwan' Cork

Orizio

Spillane off, O'Leary on thankfully.

Stealdo

There's an incredible number of first half substitutions. Is that 3 or 4?

Orizio

It will only be a matter of time, can't keep the Kerrymen down.

homerjay2005

he has missed every penalty i have seen him take. why oh why does he keep taking them, surely we have somebody else.

free to cork, its 1-4 to 5, this to put them a goal ahead.

O'Leary marking Galvin....how long before that kicks off??

2 for Cork, 1 for Kerry.

This is why Cussen shouldn't be full forward, clueless passes that waste possession.

I thought to myself they'd be level on yellow cards before halftime but it's only a matter of time...

The commentators are brutal

Orizio

Senan Connell is awful.

Orizio

Who came on for Cork?

corcaighcailin9

In the first half do you mean? Cussen for Masters and Noel O Leary for Ger Spillane.

Atomic Pineapple

kerry shooting has been very bad

Orizio

They said someone was coming on at HT, presumebly they were wrong.

Shock horror!

I don't think anyone came on.

Orizio

I don't think anyone will be worried by either team watching this.
