At least? 36 All-Irelands

They really need to address the lead in to the finals going forward. Its basically 5/6 days by the time the football semi finals are done. 3 weeks after the semi final weekend would be perfect then youd have a full 2 weeks to build up to the game once the football semi finals were done with.

Already looking forward to how bad up for the match will be again this year. but you cant not watch it!

Replying To Bon:  "Ah that's fair enough. Was reading there about Cody, reckons he'll be out of the country for it. Can't imagine it being his scene anyway."
Wouldnt it be nice f the Sunday game team and the commentators shut up for a few minutes and bring the atmosphere of the parade to the people at home.

It'd be even nicer if people sang the National Anthem to the end too.

That went totally over your head didn't it?

Replying To endgame:  "Yes. Not Cody's scene at all."
Out of the country? I'd say the man won't even be out of the county! Didn't he say once about warm weather training, when Cork were having annual overseas camps in the likes Spain and Portugal (Thailand even one year, AFAIR), that they were the same as the cold weather camps, and that they all happened in Nowlan Park? He might be in Nowlan Park on Sunday! Great man!

Mad to think Tipperary are written off when (1) Tipp have previous All Ireland winners in their set up (and Cork don't); (2) Cork have taken a bad beating earlier in the championship(shows they have some questions about them); (3) it's Tipperary, if they get a sniff they will have the confidence tradation brings; (4) Cork under a lot of pressure and (5) Tipp have a few good wins this year.

Some right good bets out there for Sunday, mainly around how Tipp are underdogs.

Tipp to lift the Cup is 12/5
Jake Morris to score a goal is 17/2
Eoin Downey to be man of the match is 33/1

I think its all outweighed by the two big beatings Cork have given Tipp this year. Tipp may be confident but if things start badly for them and Cork get a run on them will they wilt?
And I know one of those beatings was with 14 men but thats the closest form line
Plus Cork have been building for a few years now whereas Tipp have in an odd way come from nowhere (insofar as you can come from nowhere in a competition with only a handful of potential winners)

Given how good Cork look when things go their way, I'd say the betting is as close as it is for the reasons you mention, and nobody is writing off Tipps chances

Replying To katser:  "Cork beat Waterford and Dublin two poor teams and of course Tipperary and that defeat of Tipp could well be the rock you perish on come Sunday because Tipperary aren't going up to Croke Park to roll over and bend the knee to Cork....one word for you....Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip,Tip!!!"
It's amazing how twisted some peoples opinions are. I think we were closer to Cork than their opponents in the final. Also if the game was called according to the rules and let's be clear what that was, may be closer. Bennett hauled down by two Cork players as he was about to score a goal. A penalty and black card. So be it but saying we were a poor team without looking at the actual results and how they went.

Great to see Harnedy back.

Hopefully Hoggie finally gets his hands on the Liam McCarthy Cup.

Cork are 2/7 to lift cup with Paddy Power.

Yes but someone putting Waterford performance in the same category as a team who gave up 7 goals and took a beating of 20 points is twisting something. I would not reach that conclusion if it was the other way around.

Look Canuck, it's Katser. He loves denigrating other counties apart from his own and iirc Clare. And he's the same with clubs he doesnt like within his own county. Ignore and feel compassion for is the best approach.

Okay PoolSturgeon and he also seemed to miss we beat the current All-Ireland champions.
