No match at this stage is a forgone conclusion, every team there is so on merit. I just feel Cork will go at Dublin far more direct than Limerick did and I think they will score goals which Limerick didn't. That said, Cork put so much energy into going for the kill at times, that can subsequently fade out of games for a period and that could be dangerous if Dublin can produce the same performance they did against Limerick. I think Tipperary may turn over Kilkenny.

Writing off the cats

I think our lads will win handy enough. Harnedy will be back for final. Priority tomorrow is no red cards and injuries. CorkAllIrelandChampions2016 (Cork) - Posts: 4 - 04/07/2025 22:31:58 2623678 Link 1 |
Hate this nonsense of "never write off the Cats", as if they're traditionally the top team. I've wrote them off for years, as I am this year, and have been right every time. They've no chance. Cork have been traditionally the most successful county, for most of hurlings existence, so surely the saying should be "never write off Cork", no? If Kilkenny somehow manage to beat Tipp, they'll be walloped in the final by Cork. If I was a KK fan, id want to lose to Tipp, to avoid the battering that will be waiting for them in the final. Tipp might fair slightly better in the final. I'm not saying this as a joke, as things stand right now, KK are miles behind Cork, and that doesn't look like changing anytime soon! Cork will embarrass KK in the final if they meet, that's the reality, and all this "don't write off the cats" nonsense will be put to bed once and for all hopefully! 32_4_1 (Meath) - Posts: 4177 - 05/07/2025 00:06:55 2623690 Link 0 |
So it's All Ireland Semi Final day and the only interest I have is the handicap of 8pts! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2653 - 05/07/2025 12:53:16 2623724 Link 0 |
Well, you can't write off Kilkenny, simply because they never give up or give you a moment's rest, no matter the standard of their players. They were like this before Brian Cody ever got hold of them. However all that's for another day. Today it's Dublin who gave a very Kilkenny-like performance against Limerick, although a man down for three-quarters of the game. Cork won't have it easy today; they are still unproven and I'm just hoping they have enough to win Midleton (Cork) - Posts: 646 - 05/07/2025 13:20:19 2623730 Link 0 |

I've had a couple of small bets, Dublin at +7 points, and Hetherton to score a goal 'Anytime'.

You went in hope to the GG...but did you get a performance or bonus from the men in Maroon?

Goodbye Leinster Hello Munster!! Sit back and enjoy a classic All Ireland Final between Cork and Tipperary......Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2653 - 05/07/2025 18:28:40 2623786 Link 0 |
I am going to stick with the cats to win it all. They will never give that muck room to Cork. Especially in a final if they dispose of Tipp. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3120 - 05/07/2025 19:44:32 2623795 Link 0 |
You could be right, Canuck. I think KK would be better equipped to take on Cork. Tipp have too many inexperienced players at this stage of their development.

What is it about Dublin? Good one day and hopeless the next. CnocÁine (Limerick) - Posts: 6 - 05/07/2025 20:03:56 2623798 Link 0 |
Cats to win tomorrow but Cork to win the All Ireland. Yes there'll be a lot of hype by the Lee after today but the pain of losing last year's final will keep Cork grounded.

I think it is your team's own attitude you need to question as to why ye are not in the semi finals instead of them. "Dublin got well beaten by Galway and got hammered by Kilkenny for most of the game" was probably in your team's heads a bit too much.
