Damn good question that!
Sitting here for hours now trying to decide. So far, im swaying in the kerry win direction.
Why? I just enjoy gambling on kerry.:pac:
Even thought the cork lads have a fair chance, if they dont hold the game fast and confidently from the off, they may be in bother.

Still, saying that, im not putting cash on until after the throw in.

Feck ya anyway...sitting here for hours trying to decide and I'm swaying in the CORK win direction

Ah I dunno if I'm comin or going.................

8-10

3/1 on The Gooch to score a goal anytime. Also fancy 4/1 Kerry -4.0.

Juwwi

15/2 the draw might'nt be too bad a bet.

theres nothing between the teams.

I love Cork, but I fancy Kerry. Thin margin, I shall bet on neither.

Feel free to slag me later if I'm wrong.

I've had Cork done since the start of the campaign at 9 or 10/1 and I'm still sticking by them. Cork played well in most games up to the final. Where Kerry didn't have the smoothest of runs. But, it'll certainly be a tight match and we all know what Kerry can do when they're in a final at Croke Park. It really could go either way though.

Gone for Kerry by 1-5 @ 9/4 and a few quid on the draw @ 10/1 (theyve drawn this year's Munster Final and last years AI semi in recent memory and they look more closely matched than ever now).

Kerry -3 @3/1 and Kerry to win by 4-6 @5/1 both look good imo

thee glitz

PP have come up with a few I fancy :pac:
Cork first to kick the ball - 9/10
First goal to be scored from a header - 200/1

also
17 or less wides - 5/6
Galvin for RTE motm - 10/1
Gooch for a goal and Kerry to win 5/1
Cork/Kerry HT/FT - 9/2
I only slightly fancy Kerry for this but the above look good value.

I fancy Kerry by 3.Anyone have any ideas how the minor match will go as I am tempted to go for a double with Kerry and Armagh

Freudian slip I hope. Limerick played Cork in the Munster Final down in cork and only lost by a point. Cork played awful stuff that day and the Limerick half forwards did an unreal amount of trackin back on the cork wing backs. Cork forwards then struggled big time and only scored 2-5 in 70 mins of football. Galvin and Kenelley have the engines to keep goin all day and I feel they will shut down Miskella and co.

Kerry to win by three

Cork were useless that day, not to take away too much from Limerick.
They held Cork to 1-2 after 50 mins incl a peno.

NavyandBlue

I'm going for a double result of draw-draw. 50/1 with William Hill.

Well, with the mayo back line playing like a sieve, its looking like an armagh victory here.

Dabko

Mayo - ye will never win anything, ever. Useless bunch of butter fingers.

Dabko

ok, this is turning into my own personal thread!

Kerry, kerry kerry. Doing what they do best.

Ship both bets

Rev. BlueJeans

Cool. The better team won through on the day (sez a Corkman). I bit the bullet and threw a fiver on Cork (last of the big spenders I hear you say).

In_tuition

Had Kerry -4 at 9/2 just for a score expected a far better game but I suppose it was impossible after watching the Man U - City spectacle.

As the saying goes 'never back Galway hurlers or Cork footballers'. I backed Cork footballers again and once again they were a massive let down on the big day. I don't want to single out any particular player but Donnacha O'Connor is unable to take the pressure so should not be playing the big games. The missed frees killed any chance Cork had. James Masters might not run but at least he'll score a few points on the big occasion.

So my conclusion... never back Cork footballers when the pressure is on. The hurlers are the opposite.

x in the city

cork, fully supportive of NAMA anyway

No All Ireland Medal Again.....
