Dublin by a couple.

LOL, playing your thinking Cork are rubbish card. I think Cork are very good this year. Dublin at home gives them a few points of a boost, maybe 5 points. But on neutral ground, Cork would win by 7 or 8 so I'm saying Cork by 2 or 3.

Can only see a Cork win here, probably by around 2-3 points. Tomo Brady will definitely have his work cut out with Cussen and will need to be on his game.

Is Gardiner carrying a knock? If he's not injured, then I'd be very surprised not to see him in the starting 15 on Sunday.

I can only see a Cork win here. It is strange about Ga, as he was in great scoring form , both from play and placed balls. The most interesting thing for me is to see how the twin towers get on. Aisake won alot of clean ball in the game against KK but did not use it well. The extra space at 11 might suit him better. Cussen will I'm sure bag a goal and chip in with 3 or 4 points but will lay alot of ball to the corners - both of which are very capable when ball is in hand.
I would like to think Cork would be capable of going to Dublin, against an ever improving team, and still beat them by 5 or 6 points. Cork are motoring very well and should do it.

Where in the ****ing christ did I say Cork were rubbish?

Dublin are far stronger at home, hence a Dublin win by a couple of points.

You always say it. In the 3 years I've been on here you've always been saying it. I am pretty sure everyone here a while will back me up too.

You must think you are a jinx to your own team and predict the other team to win so your team wins.

Dublin won by 9 last year so now theyre at home they'll win by even more.

ShamoBuc

You could be onto something there .... history might repeat itself.... then again this year they are playing a proper Cork team so...... might be time for payback... Cork by 9 would do me, anthing more would just be rubbing it in !!

Orizio

Cadogan and Niall Mac out for tomorrow apparently.

ShamoBuc

Not too worried about that, Cadogan will be a loss but we can cover it while we know what Niall can do so opportunity knocks for maybe Callnan or Farrell.

Orizio

Presumebly Mark O'Sullivan and Gardiner will start, **** knows who we are going to play full back. Sean Og presumebly.

Another good win for Cork today - horgan had a very good game - 6 points from play.
Dublin got a late goal to make the score board more respectable.
Both the hurlers and footballers had good wins today - both are well on course to get to their respective finals, with the footballers especially , favourites to win it.

Everyone does, although it doesn't bother a student like myself.

dicky82

its not the route to be going to encourage attendance, i for one would love to see a decent turn of supporters for the dublin hurlers but in these times charging those prices is not going to do the gaa any favours. .

I assume juveniles were free?

Cork have been doing a decent enough deal, 1 adult free with every ten children, plus all juvenile teams get entered into a draw.
