Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Plenty on sale now, though likely to be snapped up. As I mentioned in a previous post semis rarely sellout though this one might!

Almost gone

EDIT- SOLD

I'm selling two Upper Hogan tickets at face value, if anybody is interested. Section 727

Are they likely to appear again later in week?

Hill and Nally up now.

Cork team announced for Sunday. Can't wait!!

Bit of a negative lineup with cloning the goalkeeper 25 times 🤣

total sell out

Really looking forward to the game now. It is an 82,300 sellout!!!

The main thing is that we play to our potential and leave it all on the field. I think we have the firepower to hurt them but we give them a run and it will be over before you know it.

It would be nice to have us get a bit of luck or bounce of the ball. But I do believe in making your own luck as well. Before I was going in hope that we play well and they have an off day. Now I still hope for that but I think we can still beat them if they are not. The earlier game doesn't really matter now but it does matter only in the sense we know its possible to beat them. Things like that count when it comes down to the wire.

If there is one thing we have learned from this Pat Ryan team is that they finish games strong but we also know Limerick will never give up! Both benches are very strong and I think its whose subs make the biggest impact will win. It depends on early injuries and yellow cards too. A defender getting roasted on either team or an early yellow card means he needs to be replaced early than what was thought and this leads to a cascade effect with impact subs coming on way earlier.

I'm not confident about the game but also not pessimistic. It is a weird feeling of if we perform, I think we will win. Will we perform though? Chances are yes as I think we targeted this game a while back. Yes we know how good Limerick are but one should always look to within and your own performance. The biggest issue we have is a poor goalkeeper. In fairness, he did do well against Dublin and Offaly but with respect this is a higher level.

If the game goes along with a trend of Limerick leading by a point or two all the time then we are basically hoping for another Grandstand finish again. This will be very hard to replicate but as I have said all year, we do finish well. If however, we go up by a few and the lead changes a lot then I think we have a great chance. This would mean the teams are basically level. If we have to chase the game, I think its a losing bet as Limerick are too good to reel in. If they have to chase the game suddenly they are under pressure. This is unlikely but possible. More than likely we stay with them and hopefully go ahead a few times. The importance of going ahead is vital as it shows them we aren't just hanging onto their coattails. In that situation, once they get a goal and a few points tacked on it could be over.

Totally agree with Straight talker above, a complete performance is needed and I do think Croke Park will suit us. I thought the exact same thing about the Dublin football result. Everyone looks unbeatable until they are beaten. Then everyone will say the signs were there. If we can get our pacey style game going then we will look unstoppable all of a sudden. Its getting up to that level is the key. This is why I say we need to look to ourselves and our own performance.

Great to see 3 players from the Senior panel stop by a club before an important game.

Awful last 15 mins. Haven't scored and given away 1-1

Cork pulling away as expected. Waterford struggling to get out of their own half against the wind.

Clare's win against Kilkenny should inspire Cork tomorrow to go out give it a lash and see what happens.

Time really is running out for Hoggie and Seamus Harnedy here.

Hopefully (i think there is) there is a big performance in Cork, and who knows with a bit of luck we might slay the Limerick giant!

I think we have it in us to give them a bit of trouble. Please god 🙏 we'll pull it off. Rebels Abu!🔴⚪

That was some win.

Didnt think we would beat Limerick but delighted Cork turned up and played as good as we could. We could have won by more.
