Can Cork do the hurling and football double this year ? I guess that we will win either the hurling or the football but it is still possible that we could de the double . That said Dublin might have something to say about the double also

Can you , of course, will you I doubt it , which is the more likely well hard to say , regards hurling from what Ive seen this year you have not progressed , still have savage talent but devoid of a system that will bring a Liam , the football probably gives the best opportunity for silverware but youve some big mountains to shift along the way near neighbours and ourselves ,
If I were a rebel based on this years play Id be happy whatever the Sept Santa brings , but I wouldnt be expecting the whole bag .

Jesus imagine when Cork win a championship match this summer, the hype machine will go into overdrive :-)

After the match against Waterford last Sunday, the question might be, will we win anything this year?

As for Hype, that's a bit rich coming from a Dub. Nobody does hype like Dublin. It's one thing we will never beat ye in.

Our Airport is also better

As is our city in general

There's another thing

Of course your airport is better, how else are people supposed to escape the big smoke?

They've a decent chance in the football but can't see them winning in the hurling. They missed their chance last year when things fell right for them but I don't think they'll get that chance again unless they improve dramatically.

I reckon Cork will do better at hurling than the football, I'd fancy them to be there or there abouts. However Dublin will win football without even breaking a sweat.

The Munster hurling and football double is now on for Cork Limerick in the hurling and Kerry in the football I guess that we will do that part of the double and then we will talk about the AI double

Cork wont do the double in my view.

jasus christ i dont know where to start ????

Firstly why the hell are we talking about the double. We havent even won a munster title in either code lets get us to the TWO all ireland finals first then lets discuss the potential double

damothedub Cork have improved significantly since september stronger backs better spine and more free flowing forward what else are you expecting from the team. Dublin how ever looked shaky against the might of wexford and needed a wayward wexford and a might keaney to get them accross the line .In terms of improvement on last years cork certainly gone forward and dublin backwards

jayp ??? hype im not even going to discuss this point lol

jimbodub this is a site to discuss gaa matters not slag each others cities. And based on the number of dub that used to frequent galway while i lived there its fair to say that ye think galway is the best city

arock Dublin didnt retain sam in 11 when they fluked a win against kerry the better team on the day. The beat mayo by 1 point in last years final.I agree ye are worthy champions but where ye are getting this notion that ye are unbeatable is completely beyond me . Every team is beatable on the day and dublin are no different. With out the cynical fouling in the end of last years final the result could have been different and while you wont admit it to me i think you know it your self

To win a double when cork did it in 1990 what an absolutely huge achievement but to do one in the modern era of back doors and more matches would be unbelievable and i cant see any team ever doing it. If we can keep the dual stars fit then we have a slight hope but cant see it my self too many games too many variables.

But there is no need for nonsense comments either. Dublin wont coast to an all ireland . Whose airport is better jasus leave it out. and corks improvement well so far well the proof is in the pudding they dominated waterford in replay they dominated clare last sunday and that to me so far is a marked improvement hopefully they will keep it up

Ritchie

Again with '11 final, fluking, the better team lost etc, get real, we were the better team for the 1st half and for the start and finish of the 2nd half, get over it!

What yous really want to argue about boys is - where is the rel capital of Ireland, Dublin boys a bit sensitive when it comes to all things Cork.

I believe Cork will contest both the hurling and football AI Finals this year, but I also believe they will lose both.... IMO

Any chance of both final scorelines ben77?

Dublin gone backward in hurling Ritchie! How you make that out? Comfortable win against Wexford compared to last year, and will be well ready for Cats... or Galway :-)

I actually think both finals might be Dublin/Cork. Trying unsuccessfully so far to get a bookie to price that for me.

I can't see Cork winning either this year. Kilkenny for the hurling (whether through the backdoor or front), Dublin the football.

I would take that now Hurlingdub but somehow don't think our Hurlers will make it.
Hope to be proven wrong though.... :o)
Still difficult to forget the Great chance we had last year.....

Cant see Cork winning a double - the Hurling maybe but I cant see Cork winning SAM this year.

We (Cork) have got no chance of winning the double. Dublin are the county most likely to do it in the near future (even though it pains me to say it)
