Tommy K..Your post is ridiculous re-it would be a disaster if Cork won due to the fact they hand pass the ball so much..Kerry have hand passed the ball more than any team and have won plenty of all irelands,i believe Seamus Moynihan won an all ireland a few years ago playing centre back and in the final he never once kicked the ball during the game...Your talking nonsense kid.....

759780 For the sake of football I hope Down win as they play the game like it should be played (like Galway in the late 90's / early 00's). It would be a bad day for football if Cork's "handballers" won out.

Good to read sum sensible comments!

Cork has no hope now in the opinion of the informed GAA experts!

rebeltrev so you think your backdoor passage to the All Irelands and a skin-off-your-teeth progress to the final demonstrates that Cork are better than Down or in fact any other team for that matter?

WestRules (Galway) - Posts: 271 - 30/08/2010 16:37:06    760418

rebeltrev the Cork minors won with a lot of help from the ref and all the soft frees but any team that concedes 5 goals in one match and 19 points in another is hardly great. In fairness the Cork minors are a little better to watch than their senior counterparts and they at least kick the ball occasionally!

Did Down not come through the backdoor? Your arguement is clueless and lacks direction. We have a great chance of beating Down. Their are very good. Im not disputing that. I just think that we will have 2 much for them. Its all about winning man. No one ever remembers how the team preformed, just the team that wins. Playing not to our ability and still winning is a great sign of a team. Manchester united won many a title from picking up points while not playing well. Where in the final kid. Say you boys can hardly remember the last time you played football in sept :)

Would you stop ya mad thing. Your pathetic blaming the ref. The ref did nothing wrong. Sure you Galway boys always have some excuse. Your comment is just full of bitterness and truly shows that you cant take your beating. 9 points down kid and we came roaring back. I wouldnt worry about what we concede. Where like barcelona....we will score more then what we will concede :)

Now, I know they're only amatuers but are you actually trying to tell me

Iniesta= Pierce O Neill
Xavi= Paul Kerrigan
Lionel Messi= Daniel Goulding
David Villa= Donnacha O Connor

Only in Cork!!

Anyone who writes off either side is probably biased. Cork people will try and convince themselves that they'll walk away with it and ulster supporters will believe that Down are infinitely better than they are and suppose that they will trounce Cork.

Everyone else is probably expecting a close game decided in the final minutes.
Cork have the better overall panel but none of the form.
Midfield is a draw.
Down have a better functioning forward unit with more star performers.

Either side by a couple of points. Hopefully Down!

Corrxxx did you watch barcelona at the weekend.?

I'd advise you to watch iniesta's goal at the weekend on youtube and then come back to me if you think pierce would be able to replicate iniesta's goal. Down are the aristocrats as joe brolly says and cork won't stop them

A kerryman comparing Iniesta to O Neill? Think about it?

Down. Cor.k are not playing well enough

Cork for me. Kildare played poorly on Sunday and still should have won

I really dont know which one of you boys are more stupid. I said Cork are like Barcelona cause it doesnt matter how much the oppisition score. we will score more :)

As for your kerryman thinking that Cork people reckon we will run away with the final. You really dont have a clue. No one on this from Cork has suggested anything of the sort. I reckon the red of Cork makes your blood boil. You seem to have alot of issues man with us. Did a woman from Cork break your heart or maybe a man :)

For the sake of FOOTball not HANDball I hope and expect it will be Down plus the fact that Cork have a very poor record in AI football finals!!

yes most people would agree with that!

Hard to believe but Down are NOT universally liked in Ulster. Some Antrim, Armagh and Tyrone Gaels accuse Down of being the prime movers in the removal of Rules 21 & 42 and there is a bitterness towards them in parts of Ulster. I am not speaking for myself but was talking to a few others after their win on Sunday and they were shouting for Kildare.
