I've seen it all now. Complaining about too long a break between matches and too short a break between matches in the same post. You're lucky that there's a back door there for ye, you'll most likely be in an all Ireland semi final at least.

Little or no chance. Theres no home and away between Cork and Waterford. The only way that the final is on in Cork is if Clare play Waterford or Limerick v waterford and they are usually Thurles but can be played in Cork. Limerick v Cork is Gaelic Grounds this year.

Waterford v Limerick Munster final boys. You heard it here first. That's the beauty of the Munster cup. It's actually a bit better than the All Ireland series when it's played like yesterday.

Too many scores in it. 15 all in one half is too much. It's a tennis scoreline. The standard of the hurling was great , but there were too many defenders being cleaned on both sides for it to be a classic. 27 points to 26 points is at least 10 scores too many for a match to retain any modicum of defensive credibility. Cork did appear to play well defensively at times, especially second half, which would be kind of worrying in a way, when you ship 1-26 playing 'so well'.

Well Done Corrk. Once again Tipp showed them too much respect. They have a fetish for being beaten by Cork. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 22/05/2017 11:24:53 1989241 Link 0 |

An enjoyable game to watch for neutrals, hurling is a great sport, better than the crap we had to put up with in Castlebar yesterday, the loudest cheer in Castlebar was at the end of the National Anthem before the ref started the game riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 22/05/2017 11:41:42 1989251 Link 0 |

Cork will have to come up with a complete different game plan for Waterford. The middle will be so packed the next day they won't be able to get the free puck outs they got yesterday. looking forward to the semi finals already Limerick and Clare should be a great game also therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 22/05/2017 11:53:10 1989264 Link 0 |

Football is finished as a sport, unless the GAA implements a rule to prevent 'x' amount of players retreating into their own halves on 'deeefense'. You know that football is finished, when you hear the all too frequent GAA commentary cliche these days about 'off the shoulder runners', 'breaking the line', 'full court press' etc. Rugby is rugby, and basketball is basketball, and gaa football is not rugby or basketball, which imo is why the current popular incarnation of gaa football is so goddamn dreadful to look at, more often than not.

People are always putting the boot in on Gaelic Football. I though the game in Castlebar wasn't bad at all. Sligo did very well to hang in there for so long. There were some good scores on both sides. The Carlow's win was fantastic. some outstanding scores there. Fair enough these games don't compare to one for the most entertaining sporting occasions I have witnessed in years but they were more entertaining than the average premier league soccer game. Anyone watch Munster vs the Ospreys at the weekend? There was nothing remotely special about that but Munster won and people are happy to talk about the result. Why can't football get the same respect. Gaelic Football is a great sport it is sad to see it being used as a punch bag, something the media have encouraged for years. dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 337 - 22/05/2017 12:35:21 1989301 Link 0 |

Epic game. Some class scores, great stuff to watch. More games like that this summer hopefully. Ludovic_Giuly (Leitrim) - Posts: 111 - 22/05/2017 12:48:25 1989310 Link 1 |

I'm not complaining, just highlighting yet another flaw in the current fixtures list.' The qualifiers have been very good to us in 2010 and 2014. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 22/05/2017 13:18:13 1989326 Link 0 |

Exactly, thanks Kavvie. If we win our round 1 qualifier we will play our round 2 qualifier against a team who played their round 1 game on the same day as us. If anything the 6 week gap is a benefit to us cos we have a big injury list at the moment so we will have most of those lads back by July.

a brilliant game of hurling no doubt but the scoring now (of points anyway) is gone robotic almost...one score goes over a quick puck out down the wing a bit of a run and a handpass and another score..god be with the days when 3-14 to 2-13 was deemed to be a cracker of a match..which they were...the scoring I think is ridiculous now with loosing scores capable of winning any match (and winning it well) in times gone by...

First things first, Great game in Tom Semples field yesterday, loads of great scores and individual displays by the Cork lads in particular. There's quite a bit being made out about Tipp's lack of hunger and there may be a bit of truth in that, but Cork were very cute. They played a very expansive, open game avoiding the physical aspect when possible (but not shirking it when it arose) and they moved the bigger, slower Tipp defence around well and created a lot of space for the likes of Lehane, Harnedy, Cadogan and Horgan to work in, very little aimless high ball either, drilled passes into the hands of their teams mates where possible. Well done Cork. BUT, Tipp were poor by their own standards and still failed to bury three good goal chances and were in the game right to the end. Sort out the hunger/work rate and my money will be on Tipp if they meet later on in the year. BUT, Waterford won't be as open the next day out and will deny Cork forwards such latitude and the physical aspect won't be avoided as easy as yesterday. Waterford won't fear Cork and will be glad to see the back of Tipp who they struggle with. The Deise will fancy Munster as a real opportunity for silverware and will go out all guns blazing. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 22/05/2017 14:03:32 1989363 Link 1 |
