Suprised Cork did not throw in a few more panel players at this stage. Cork are definatley favourites but with Mayo you just never know what will turn-up. Cork will have their hands full against a fully tuned in Mayo. Cork by 4 or 5
I think Cork will be better this year than last but could probably do with a few more lads getting a run out.
As for Anthony Lynch. Injury free he could be vital. At this stage the world and his mother know he is a top drawer defender and I would be saving him for bigger days during the championship.
Do you know how many players we've used in the league this year?!? 25+ at least, and more after Sunday.
I'm suprised I haven't gotten a run out yet.

Evidently Conor Counihan tortured the lads over on Bere Island last weekend with a military style boot camp, 5 hours of sleep per night, mounting climbing, lake wading and 45km running along with club matches on the Monday back. (info courtesy of RebelGAA)
One thinks Conor still hasn't excused them for last years All-Ireland final. 0 -

Yeah thats all fine but with Cork in such a good position its a good oppertunity to give others a little more game time.
Maybe tho' Couinahan knows his starting championship 14;) and the 15th man being yourself of course.
I d say you would give a mighty speech in Croke Park, Connolly, Mussen, Daly, Downey and Paidi all rolled into 10 -

Classy.
We'll win easy in the league final, when we actually give a ****, break a sweat and have more then 5 of our first team playing.
Famous last words.
Remember that Cork are playing the team that came FIRST in the league, a team that defeated Cork, Kerry and Tyrone away from home. You guys have no idea what's in store0 -

As a Corkman i'm looking forward to the final and meeting up with my good Mayo friend from Bangor Erris for a good session of drink and the craic! May the best team win!
Yeah, should be a good game, two proper footballing teams. With the two-thirds of our first team back and the lads not half dead before they went out on to the pitch I'd imagine we would push Mayo fairly close.
Goold, Nic Murphy and Canty are the only Cork's players who played anywhere near their usual standard. Kavanagh is in no way a full-back, Aidan O'Shea destroyed him - the latter is the one player we need to stop in two weeks, Mayo were average enough otherwise.
Looked like a team that was knackered from the training pitch, no intensity of any kind. Even the pre-match drills were lazy and half assed.0 -

No chance that like yourself they thought that they had it in the bag and would cruise it "by a fair few"?.0 -

Nope, they've come off some extremely hard training (as I already said, Bere Island and all that) and only had about 5-6 first team players. Cork simply didn't give a ****, as everyone at the match would have noted, the Mayo players and management included. 0 -

A league final where 1st team plays the 3rd team...only in the GAA and only in Ireland as a friend of mine said.:rolleyes:
Disappointed for us not to make it but I'm glad this backfired on the GAA.For far too long they have been arsing and flutering around with the rules that it now has bit them in the ass financially and cost them €600,000+.
Now as for the league final,what I am expecting is a combined wides tally of 40, little to no atmosphere,plenty of yellow cards and an attendance of 27,000 between 4 counties (of which 2 will have no impact in the championship) and a lot of hype surrounding Cork/Mayo before the championship.We've seen it all before,Mayo will probably lose the league without actually losing the league..if you get my drift.
Luckily I will be on a beach flaked out as I knew that these rules would effectively cost Dublin.I knew I could count on the GAA.
This is a load of bollocks BB, no offense.
Mayo/Cork were the two best teams in the league, and are now in the league final. Simples.0 -

No it isn't as simple as that.Cork and Dublin both lost two games,Mayo lost one game thus meaning Mayo should be league winners.In the premier league,if Chelsea and Man Utd finish level on points and Man Utd have a better goal difference,they win the title despite the fact they may have lost to Chelsea.It has been the same in all other years and why have the GAA suddenly changed it without informing managers and teams?It should be Mayo-Dublin.Fact is,Dublin scored more points/goals and conceded less goals/points than Cork did.
Regardless of the above points on the above matter,this idea of a playoff for the "league" is ridiculous and defeats the purpose of the format of the competition.Why do Mayo have to play Cork again to win the "league"?I think our Mayo friends are jumping the gun at me when I say Mayo can lose the league without losing the league.It is stupid.0 -

I think it is fair to say that having seen Cork throughout the league, today the foot was certainly not on the pedal. Conor I am sure wanted to play Mayo in Croker rather than the Dubs. I mean if Cork won why would they have to play the Dubs again? A team they had recently tore apart! I am sure Cork are not too put out about losing today, the next time Cork play Mayo I expect a very different Cork team, a very different Cork performance and a different result! Only time will tell.
Stop using Blackbelt's nonsense logic against him ShamoBuc, it just isn't nice.
Leo, I'm basing the remark of the 3-4 games I've seen of Dublin this year (I didn't see today's match), not just the Cork game.0 -

On my point fair enough. You made the point before a while back. In fairness tho I think Dublin are a little more direct than that muck of 12 behind the ball but it can be argued they play a defensive game. This has spead up somewhat recently but we wont know how effective it is until July, provided we are still playing then. I cant understand why any team sit back and invite the opposition on to them (especially come latter stage of championship when there are so many good forwards out there who will punish you.
On shamoBuc THO', he might have a point. I think Cork will be happy to play Mayo again. I.M.O Cork would have a better chance/or feel they have a better chance of beating Mayo at this stage than Dublin, taking into account the Croke Pk factor that seems to haunt Mayo, Cork like us have their nightmares there also but this is an exceptionally good Cork squad. Dublin would fill Croke Park for a joust with Cork whereas Cork v Mayo might get 40,000 if its a double header. Cork will want a win in Croke Pk before they play championship there and Counihan MIGHT just not want Dublin at this stage.0 -
