Cork GAA Discussion Thread

As i said a few days ago let it rain. It didn't do us any harm in 1999 and 2004 after all! Rain, hail or shine this Cork team is more than good enough to get the job done tomorrow.

goosebumps lads!!!

I always think the players probably have fewer nerves than fans just because things are in their control to a far greater extent, at least if they're in the starting fifteen. Like in our semi final I was nervous from start to finish watching it (rightly so since we made a balls of it) but when I've been playing in a big match myself (at a much, much lower level, but it would still mean at least as much to me as an inter county match!) I have never felt nearly as much nerves, just because there are things you need to think about both in the run up to the match and during it: what your job is, who you're marking, what aspects of your game you need to focus on or improve etc. Whereas as fans all we can do is sit there and hope.

Anyway, all that aside, best of luck to Cork from a kk man. Never thought I'd be saying that but then again ye never played tipp in a final…mainly just hoping horgan retires with a medal, felt the same about Canning a few years back. Also like the brand of hurling ye play, and I spent my childhood summers in carrigtwohill where my mother grew up. But mainly it's just because you're playing tipp!

The nerves, best of luck to everyone travelling. Hope we do it this time. Corcaigh abu, rebels abu, up the rebels.

one being offered just now on the proc website

Thanks folks. Still not sorted for a ticket.

It was a case of loads of us thinking and expecting that cork will win, but nobody saying it out loud.

We've totally lost our heads here.

Totally lost the heads lads. This is incredible.

The Mayo of hurling

1 point in the second half. That's not actually explainable. WTF happened????

Serious questions have to be asked of Pat Ryan...what the hell did he do at ht

Hoggie will be retiring without that all Ireland medal. They've finally broken me. Cork hurlers no longer know how to win. We are just Waterford and Mayo with more of a history now. We are now losers, bottlers and chokers sadly.

He doesn't perform on the big day unfortunately...
