After their hurlers' heroics, Cork's footballers enter the All-Ireland championship race this weekend when they take on Waterford in Dungarvan. The Deise men are 11/1 to spring what would be a massive upset, but can they do it? This thread will be used to discuss Saturday evening's Munster SFC quarter-final.

Like Tipp last year Cork have a chance to get a game under their belt and can't see a shock here. Waterford don't have the fire power to make it even a close contest and anything less than a 10 point win for Cork would surprise me. No disrespect to Waterford but I know Tom McGlinchy well and he will prepare Waterford as best as possible but you can only fear for them playing a Cork team who will be aiming for a better campgain than last year.

Have to agree with WildPundit. We are not exactly flying it at the moment. Neither are Waterford though. They have home advantage. We have probably have the tradition, the relative form (Division 2 v 4), resources etc. Should be a handy win for Cork. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 24/05/2017 11:05:32 1990154 Link

RTE are a disgrace with barely any coverage on line on the radio of the games this eve. Anyways what a result? Cork survive by the skin of their teeth winning by a point Belclare1 (Galway) - Posts: 1626 - 27/05/2017 20:46:41 1991298 Link
Only in the Munster Football Championship would you see David truly put it up to a Goliath of Gaelic Football and not cower and lose by an avalanche before a ball is kicked Bualadh Bos Port Lairge KYTotalFootball (Kerry) - Posts: 280 - 27/05/2017 20:49:36 1991300 Link
Fair play to Waterford, would have been a massive result for them if they held out. But as for Kerry laughing, believe it or not this is crap for Kerry. I expect to be heading up to Thurles for the munster football final in july woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 27/05/2017 20:58:52 1991306 Link
Replying To KYTotalFootball: "Only in the Munster Football Championship would you see David truly put it up to a Goliath of Gaelic Football and not cower and lose by an avalanche before a ball is kicked Bualadh Bos Port Lairge" Are you f***g joking! The most one sided championship there is!?! Kerry nearly double the titles of all the rest COMBINED!! Kerry and Cork have won every championship bar one since world war 2, and you're making out the Munster championship is some kind of hyper-competitive, random-winner, footballing eutopia??? Go away home out of it!!! (...and aside from that, hard luck to our longsuffering football neighbours in Waterford, keep the faith lads and hopefully one day you'll get a big scalp in Munster) extranjero (Wexford)** - Posts: 375 - 27/05/2017 21:58:26 1991315 Link
Seeing Cork's footballers scrape past Waterford is like watching Offaly hurlers losing to Laois or Westmeath. While it's great to see the underdog thriving it's a reminder how far the mighty have fallen and how much the game needs them... Who knows with this Cork team- form suggests they're in the same realm as ourselves and Clare and yet I can still imagine them taking a big scalp later in the summer. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 28/05/2017 02:08:35 1991340 Link

However they might lose Walsh and O,Connor but Tipps defence is always leaking scores and with the game in PUR I think Cork have serious advantage. You might get to see the new PUC this year afterall! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 28/05/2017 07:53:35 1991345 Link
I maybe wrong, but I think both Munster Finals are in Cork this year regardless of who is in them. we this big old stadium now you see and it needs filling. If it is Tipp and Kerry, make sure ye come in your droves and spend loads of money here..we have 40 bars in the ground so fill your boots.. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 28/05/2017 11:33:59 1991379 Link

(...and aside from that, hard luck to our longsuffering football neighbours in Waterford, keep the faith lads and hopefully one day you'll get a big scalp in Munster)" Well said Extranjero. Take Kerry and Cork for example. This is the most played fixture and the only one that goes over hundred matches in Championship history. They have played 114 times with Kerry winning 71 times, Cork winning 30 times and there have been 13 draws. Kerry have twice as many wins as Cork. It makes a mockery of a competitive province.

Other counties in other provinces just see a Goliath and bow down in awe and don't give their heart and soul. It seems to be a case of being afraid to give 100% and fail it's so disappointing to see.
