well they won't win based on today's performance. Tipp will hammer them and Galway could beat KK as they only seem to play well against the Cats

Great stuff

YES!

Well done Galway, can't remember the last game with no goals in it, there wasn't even that many goal chances.

You're not seeing things!

Hopefully Cork will be rue-ing these chances come the end of the game.

think i was U-14 the last time i saw them, when they were given to the subs to keep warm.
cracking game though, hopefully galway can keep the run going.

Well done Galway.

So delighted.

Can you let Galway have a few minutes in the sun.

Once Galway didn't flop, I suppose it was likely they'd pull away.


But if they hit that many aimless balls against Tipp/KK, they'll lose.

Great game to watch. Congrats to Galway on the win.

Good win but Cork were very poor in the last ten. Big improvement needed

Well done Galway Joe Canning was out on his feet at the end of the game. I taught Andy Smith had a great game. Now roll on next week to see who your opponents will be.

Johnny Coen has an all-star in the bag now, class again in the 2nd half. Fergal Moore was good in some ways, made some fantastic blocks, but O'Sullivan did cause him some trouble especially in the first half.

The Good

Galway, backs especially, and in general all over the field, showed heart that I've not seen them show in a while.

In the end, despite being on edge in the first half, started stringing some good passes together.



The Bad

Where the hell were the forward lines for the most of the second half? That's dangerous and means that, as happened for long spells today, the half back line killing themselves out clearing the ball only for it to come straight back to them.

Galway trying the more difficult pass or the more difficult shot, hitting the ball on the run when they had time to steady up and make sure -> countless wides.

Hayes. Again. Scored towards the end when things were going good. He needs to get more involved when games are closer affairs.

The basics such as sideline cuts being hit 10 yards will not be forgiven in the final.

In summary, delighted to win. Not often we beat Cork. But a BIG improvement needed for the final.

We really have no bench bar Glynn disappointingly. Donnellan and Regan to start in final imv

I am just thinking of Waterford last year. Galway huge favourites and they bottle it big time. I reckon Cork will sneak it tomorro and Canning will be neutralised. Watch this space.

Oh dear, typical Cork cockiness, I'm surprised there wasn't waffle about the double. Well done to Galway, better hurlers and they defeated Cork who were lucky to get as many frees as they did which made the result much closer than it really was.

Cause he predicted Cork? Not cocky, galway are well known for bottling it unfortunately.

We did what we had to today, a win is a win.. and all that craic!

good to get a Kerry perspective on a hurling game.top class analysis there. Now go back to that Donegal humble pie you were munching at.

never said Cork would win All Ireland, I was talking about Galway and if they could produce a performance again. They did today and I hope they can go on now and win the All Ireland. Best of luck Galway.

What. A. Game. My heart must have been beating about 350 times a minute through periods of that match! We didn't play nearly as well as we did against Kk, but thankfully it was enough to beat Cork, we've every chance now in the final. Also, Joe is a fcuking immense player, best player in the country in either code, simply unplayable. Player of the year is his if he puts in an anyway decent performance in the final. Oh and....

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Unlucky lad, ye have some awful dirty players by the way, 2 red card offences in that game, and all because they couldn't handle getting beat. That chop on Canning was shocking. I suppose the boys from Cork must be having nightmares about him at this stage:D:D:D:D

not as bad as some of the nightmares im having of not seeing Canning or Galway winning a Celtic cross, its 22 years and counting. I hope it isn't 2005 revisited.

It just exposes the way in which the greatest thing that can happen to a Cork person is to see Kerry get beaten. It really exposes their superiority complex to be nothing more than a hollow and frightened inferiority complex. Schadenfreude much?
