What a great Munster Final, unlucky Cork should have won it. Kerry showed great character but is it just me or is there a myth about them. The intimidation of the refereee which included constant mouthing seems to go unpunished. Well Done Joe Brolly for calling it correct, penalty was a shocking decision.. Refs seem to be intimidated by them and see no wrong in them hence a lot goes compared to how refs clamp down on others. But a great game, best of the year, no reason why Cork cannot lift it again the next day.

Dunno Sam, but today and last year against Mayo does seem to back your theory.

James H..maybe they will but as usual you will be watching from your armchair after another gutsy but unsuccesfull 5oth year in a row year from chokers from the west.

KY4SAM2015 - This generation of Mayo players ain't no chockers. Enjoy yer "home" replay and I hope ye get a nice referee again.

This generation of mayo players are no chokers.cmon you must be having a laugh..they have been in the last four consistently over the last six or seven years and failed again and again to get over the line. If anything defines a choker then its this generation of Mayo players. Cork are given the next two years at home against Kerry so im afraid it all evens itself out in the end im afraid..no advantage there.

Cork the better team throughout. Their midfield annihilated Kerry. Alan O'Connor was immense also Kerrigan was well on top before his foolish foul. How Donaghey gets away with so much I will never know. Great point to equalize by Kerry too.

KY4SAM2015 - so going by your logic we have been the better team in those lost finals and should have won them? If the bookies fav wins its hardly chocking by the other team. The only game we should have won was the drawn game against Kerry last year. We will keep coming back though, sure as the sun rises Mayo will keep trying and I hope I live to see the day we have Sam in Castlebar.

Bryan Sheehan strikes a player 2 or 3 times straight in front of the ref yet absolutely no action is taken yet we have had players sent off for alot less this year.

Whether ye were favourites or not is irrelevant..many an underdog has won games on the big day and yes ye have come close on many occasions but never seen it through. Yes i agree many a football fan would love to see SAM in castlebar and I too hope its sooner rather then later.

Would have..should have..could have Hugh Hunt, but never did..thats the bottom line my friend

The venue is not really a home venue ask any Cork footbalLer they possibly prefer to play in Killarney over PUC. This idea that Kerry influence referees is nonsense. David Moran our must important player today missed the bulk of the 2nde half with a very harsh black card. Did not see any mention that, its all a bit one sided.

Traleenative It was definite black card. Ref had limited choice there to be fair.
I dont believe there is an intentional bias toward Kerry but it does seem alot of 50/50 calls go their way.

Penalty decision the last day was case in point. I actually thought watching on tv it would be a free out. The cork player had eyes on the ball. Jod jumped with (into) him and they both fell over.

I think JOD can be a brilliant player but I do dislike the diving and trying to win frees. If he got away from this I think he could be one of the best and most respected players around.
