    How Dean Rock doesn't start is insane.

    Why are cork commiting fouls when ganging around Dublin players? They should gang around without making contact and force Dublin to hold the ball for too long, ala Meath

    I think it's pretty unfair to call Dublin's shots on goal glory hunting. Goals win games, forwards are supposed to have the confidence to take on difficult shots so I think they were justified in going for them. They've just had one of those days where the ball hasn't been going in due to good keeping, last ditch defending and some bad luck. I'm glad they haven't gone in though, makes for a great last 15 minutes or so.

    Dubs are number 1 county for creating goal chances. They have the pace for it

    Oldest adage in football. Take your points & the goals will come.
    McCluskey has been like a headless chicken in front of goal, a better team would have punished their wastefulness

    Some of Cork's players look disinterested.

    3 of those shots had far better placed players in scoring positions, you play the odds.

    They're having one of those days when they're playing cork, not some also-rans in leinster. Goals aren't going to come easy so make the best of the chances you get or rue them later

    Put either of these teams in against Tyrone & there would only be 1 winner.
    Game is played in good spirit, but a lack of clinical finishing on both sides will cost dearly in the semi final

    Bit harsh. Tired maybe but not poor. They're giving their all.
