    Munster final went as expected today and its incredible what Limerick have achieved. They are a truly great team but the differences between the teams are a lot closer than they used to be. Clare disappointed but Limerick were not blowing them away either.

    It felt like Shane O Donnell was isolated all the time when the ball came near him and he had Limerick players all around him. I said it in the main thread that to beat them, you have to get goals or at least be a goal threat throughout. Clare get one goal in the first half and it was a draw at half time. They missed another chance that wasn't hit very well.

    The reason I talk about this is obviously from our point of view. It looks like a Clare v Kilkenny semi with Cork v Limerick in the other. Limerick will want another crack at us but it felt like that win against them showed us that we can beat them in a very tight game. I think we will improve now with the games coming up and there is more gears we can get to. We are the top or at least among the top scorers in this Championship so thats a huge plus. Our bench is very strong and that with our fitness levels/pace gives us an advantage as we have continually finished games very well this year. The only negative is that we have a poor keeper who is prone to howlers.

    Looking forward now to Offaly next week!

    Try Supervalu. Ticketmaster are just being annoying about it.

    I risked the shop because I wanted a physical ticket to give to someone and also to avoid tm fees

    “The selections are made at the start of the year, and you’re kind of guessing or estimating what the standings of the round robin will be like when Cork will be playing Limerick — there was a chance that game could have been a dead rubber, people didn’t know how important that game would be,” 

    How is this possible? Sure Cork lost their first two games and it still wasn't a dead rubber. Even had both won their first two gaems it wouldn't be the case would it?

    Yeah that’s such a bullshit claim. You could write off any game after round 2 on that basis.

    Edit; let’s take it at face value. Looking at it in January when games are being picked.
    At that time you’d have expected a Cork over Waterford win and probably a Clare win over Limerick in round 1.
    Round 2 a Limerick win over Tipp and the Cork Clare game would have been tough to call. Round 3 - Waterford Tipp tough to call.

    Based on pre season expectations the Cork v Limerick game could reasonably have been expected as a scenario where the winner effectively seals top 3 and the loser must win their final game to go through.

    Sorry Jarlath but your hypothesis doesn’t stand up.

    Munster match is probably not helping and this game will be over before half time

    It's not a great location from a Cork viewpoint. Footbal game will be fairly interesting, hopefully competitive throughout.

    Hurlers should hopefully get the job done early and get the subs in.

    Offaly crowd aren't exactly snapping tickets up.

    could be a long day on the couch for anyone not in Tullamore, Ladies football on TG4 at 1 followed by the football and hurling on GAAGO

    Match will be a sellout or close to it!! No stand tickets left and terrace selling well. 2 more days to go. Trains also selling out

    Full strength hurling team just named, and rightly so! This match should be everyone's focus. Afterall the loser goes out

    Really looking forward to this now. Making a weekend of it up in Tullamore. Feel like the football game could be a cracker

    Brian Hurley is a major injury worry for tomorrow with a hamstring problem. Big loss if he doesn't play

    Watching the women's football team currently on tg4...standard of football is terrible but that makes it fascinating to watch...

    In ladies football, Cork 1-12 Galway 0-10

    Very exciting end to the game. Both teams had chances for goals near the end. It was real end to end stuff! Maybe the skill wasn't top notch today but the athleticism from both teams was very good. Non stop running from each side.

    For the men today, Brian Hurley not playing and Steven Sherlock starts.

    Very true and could have been a bit more in front really. A few bad shots but playing well!

    That goal chance should have been put away. Shocking miss

    Big turnaround here. Missed goal chance followed by the black card and then Tyrone goal. Huge momentum swings.

    Typical Cork football style ****. Cleary is a rubbish manager. Extra man now and all and we can't make it pay.

    Need a goal badly now to have any chance. Tyrone down to 14

    As I type, you would think Cork had 14 and Tyrone 15 on field. We look to have run out of steam again

    Went totally flat after the missed goal chance. Dreadful second half altogether.

    In the lead up to the black card, simple handpass to the left and we were away. Instead a poor long pass, black card and conceed 1-02 in the following 10nins.
