    Maybe I can give the facebook group that I set up a bit of a plug here.

    I'm sure there are a few who remember this song and for those who don't consider yourself lucky.

    I think in all fairness after that abomination of a prediction,the least you can do is edit the thread title in honour of the 2010 Munster Hurling Champions.:D

    The fact that a replay was given to you last week when ye were in fact beaten makes my grapes rather sour on this one.

    In fairness, look at the balance of play over the 160 minutes of hurling and Waterford were the better team for far longer periods of both matches. I firmly believe we are a better team and more importantly have a far deeper panel, which at the end of the day was the major difference between the two teams. We looked fitter too in the closing minutes and seemed to have far more in the legs, which is a credit to Davy Fitz.

    If any county has major worries for the future is Cork, not Waterford. I love how year in year out Waterford get written off as "past it", yet no one mentions that the Cork team desperately needs new talent all over the pitch. The fact that ye are reliant on a club hurler like Cussen says it all for me: he was useless last night and the long ball into Aiskake was atactic that was only going to really work once , against Tipp. Once your opponent knows what that tactic is its relatively easy to counter and a mediocre fullback like Lawlor ( also a club player IMO tbh) did fine on him over the two games.

    You can talk about the lucky free ( and replays show there was a foul on the hurl) if you like, but that only masks the bigger problems that Cork hurling faces.

    Oh and Tony Browne - dear God what a man. The greatest I've ever seen.

    Waterford deserving the win. I agree on everything you say about Cussen and Aisake. Cork forward line is poor.

    Tipp are still the best team in Munster though as far as I'm concerned. The bad thing about Waterfords victory is that if Tipp beat Offaly today (I'm confident they will) then they will meet us next week. Would be a big game for Galway and we have alot to prove after our performances so far in this Championship.

    In fairness many considered it a free, and if you want to go that road you also have to look at the Cork point that never was.

    Don't blame my boy Aisake. 3 men on him whenever he tried to power his way to goal.

    Blame people like Niall McCarthy and Pa Horgan.

    Waterford were great. Dan the Man will always do something to steal the spotlight no matter how long he stays on the bench. Great hurler!

    I wouldn't necessarily blame Aiskae, but the truth is if you crowd him out or force him out the field he's next to useless as he's pretty limited as a hurler. I'd blame the Cork management for totally abandoning the running game that used to work so well for them. Why didn't they combine the two, play the running game but mix it up with the long ball to Aisake? Surely that'd be much more diffiult to defend against as you'd be keeping the poopsition guessing?

    As for Dan, I've been his harshest critic lately but he is still one of the most lethal finishrs of modern times. The entire stand was roaring at him to take his point, but he only had eyes for a goal. His goalscoring record over the years is sensational. What an option to have on the bench.

    Really? I dont rate Aisake at all. I dont think he's a good full forward at all. The only thing he has going for him is his height and awkwardness.

    I'm delighted Waterford won anyway, I would be so disgusted if Aisake ever wins a senior hurling medal. He is a travesty to the sport, cant stand the sight of him. He cant hurl, he is a tactic and nothing else. Cork will need a plan b if they want to win anything.

    People are too hard on him. He isn't the worst Cork forward but he is shown up a lot by the stupid high balls that Naughton and co give him while 3 players are marking him.

    Can't argue with that Flav, I am just annoyed in the manner it happened.

    As for Corks tactics, it fecking blew my mind yesterday, in the closing stages, when Donal Og kept on pucking it long into midfield, making it essentially a 50/50 ball. Play the bastard thing short, work it up the field, take your point, and win the blasted match. 3 times in the last few minutes of regulation time yesterday. 3!!!

    Lets see what Galway are really made of now next week

    Not so bad so. Tipp v Galway next week so.

    I live near the border and went to school with many Tipp lads, that and the fact of the bit of rivalry between both counties I hate losing to Tipp even more than Kilkenny. :D

    Should be a good game if Tipp see off Offaly so. Think its our first Championship meeting since 2005.
