One terrace empty.

Stand is less than full than it was for the Limerick-Tipp match and there was less than 20k there. I'd say <15k

19,049 official attendance.

Forget TV, that's understandable. But for christ sake we're in the internet age - stream the damn thing on GAA.ie, it's being recorded for highlights anyway :mad:

Are there are radio stations carrying it? I've only got live blogs and RTE Radio 1 which is flicking between all the matches.

Some of the stuff in this game is actually embarassing...for hurlers with the class they have, it's just hard to understand.

niallo27

****en joke of a ref.

marco_polo

How was that not a free?

Going to regret those goal misses

niallo27

How is it steps one end of the field and free in at the other. He is an embarrassment.

Fireball07

Cork 3 up...they're doing well.


Hard to tell how well they're going, Clare seem a bit aimless. But Cork are battling away well and have scored a few nice points. Dunno if I should be worried from a Limerick pov.

He might have made a few mistakes, but he's not costing Clare the game at the moment.

Bench Press

Cork could destroy Clare here

No they are shocking in fairness. No plan B from Davy. He is being found out badly today.

Mountainlad

Dublin level 6 mins left. Would really throw a spanner in the works.

Ref screwing Clare

II know, but I want to watch the munster semi final as well.

WumBuster

C'mon Dublin!

Copper_pipe

There's an all Ireland there for the taking.

Mountainlad

Ok in fairness to Clare now, Cork are getting every free. But they still aren't playing well enough.

68Murph68

Cork Clare game seemed a fair bit flat, if that makes any sense.

Not saying its a bad game but it just doesn't seem to have really caught fire.

Bit odd for a Munster Championship game.

Mountainlad

The Cats are on the rack Dublin are missing a lot of chances.

WumBuster

ffs RTE

RikkFlair

Dublin a point up!!!

DDC1990

level again!

EDIT: Dublin 1 up 2mins to go.

EDIT: Level again 1-14 to 0-17

TouchingVirus

Dublin winning by a point, at teh death

TouchingVirus

TJ levels for the cats, Nooooooo

niallo27

Oh sweet Jesus. Did he just give a free in.

marco_polo

Another soft free for Cork.

Still the lack of plan b is killing us even more than the ref

Mountainlad

Woops, slight mistake on dubmatch tracker.

Copper_pipe

Draw in the Dublin/kilkenny game

TouchingVirus

And it's all up for Kilkenny vs Dublin - 1-14 to 0-17 and it goes to replay.

garv123

Replay for dublin vs KK


Munster is looking very disappointing this year. Claire v cork is looking poor enough and no team are standing out as good this year.
Cork are running away in the second half but aren't looking like anything special.

Kilkenny will annihilate then in the replay, you don't get many chances against the cats and when you do you need to take them, just ask Galway.

Rightwing

Ended in a draw. Well done Dub

I personally agree with you. Dublin will rue those wides

Cork usually only do enough to win ,they are playing in second gear,they will finish well .

Mountainlad

Feel sorry for the Clare fans. This is a very disappointing performance from the Clare players and I know where I'd be laying the blame..

Nah theres nothing special about cork this year at all.
Its a terrible second half to watch. clare aren't up to scratch at all. Waterford threw away the game to clare with the amount of wides.

It wont be a cork team competing with KK this year.

niallo27

Cork are well in front but to say Clare could have had 5 goals is not that crazy. Plus Clare have gifted cork at least 5 points with this tippy tappy **** at the back.

Indeed !!!!! Pussyfooting out of defence could only come from one source:rolleyes:

Copper_pipe

Well lads Limerick or Cork for the Munster?

Mountainlad

Davy looked mad before the match, can only imagine what he'll be like now.

garv123

Clare absolutely fell to pieces in the second half. cork didnt play any better even, clare were just brutal. giving away so many silly points around the back line when they had possession

Vertigo100

Is the Munster final on in limerick or semple lads?

Gas, Cork player being interviewed on RTE radio, "We ****ing hit the ground running"

Very true Mountainlad...

I know some of the players on the team and they are gutted to have lost it. Sunday was a rollercoaster ride of emotions for them. What struck a chord with the team was the standing ovation from the crowd at half time... I even believe a "Mountain Lad" was teary-eyed at half time in the dressing room.

Some quarters look to the turn-around in form and say Laois have arrived on the big stage, but don't let the expectations get up I say... we still have alot of ground to make up and to ship a bad loss is still possible.

The work in the county over the past decade with very little resources has been excellent and the results can speak to themselves. We have handed out serious drubbings to divisional teams from the traditional stronghold counties... Laois 9-19 V 1-09 against mid-Tipp amongst a good few strong results stands out as an indication to the work done here.

These players are starting to feed into the minor setup now and we are especially keen to see how they get on, especially this Sunday when they face a strong WX line-up in Portlaoise before the Dublin-Kilkenny senior semi-final. If our minors win it will be a Leinster Final for them - the first since 1991 I believe.

Fair to say well done Laois on a superb win for their minors today. Best of luck in the Leinster minor final

Hard to tell. waterford through away the game against clare with horrible wides.

Limerick beat a terrible tip and now cork beat a terrible clare.

Limerick



Cork were impressive enough, I mean 0-15 in the 2nd half, without every hitting full flow. Can't take them lightly...shocked at Clare's performance

Ah look the whole team was way below the level they should be. You'd think Clare were the team that haven't played in 12 weeks.

A depleted team who've lost loads of players. Don't get me wrong, still some very talented players in that team but if you went through there team you'd find a list of players who had a lot of questions over them.

They were badly prepared, there tactics were awful. Do you blame Tony Kelly for that? Do you blame Honan for that? No, you blame the man who orchestrates it all, because it is his fault.
