All-Ireland Senior Football Quarter-Final: Dublin v Cork - 3/8/2013 7pm Croke Park

Frankie Lee

How Dean Rock doesn't start is insane.

Why are cork commiting fouls when ganging around Dublin players? They should gang around without making contact and force Dublin to hold the ball for too long, ala Meath

spiritcrusher

I think it's pretty unfair to call Dublin's shots on goal glory hunting. Goals win games, forwards are supposed to have the confidence to take on difficult shots so I think they were justified in going for them. They've just had one of those days where the ball hasn't been going in due to good keeping, last ditch defending and some bad luck. I'm glad they haven't gone in though, makes for a great last 15 minutes or so.

Think taking Canty off should have been sooner.Lacks pace at this stage.

Cork wasteful, kicking game away, next score important

Dubs are number 1 county for creating goal chances. They have the pace for it

Oldest adage in football. Take your points & the goals will come.
McCluskey has been like a headless chicken in front of goal, a better team would have punished their wastefulness

Quirke ...jaysus

Hammer Archer

Some of Cork's players look disinterested.

Goulding really could have went low there.

3 of those shots had far better placed players in scoring positions, you play the odds.

They're having one of those days when they're playing cork, not some also-rans in leinster. Goals aren't going to come easy so make the best of the chances you get or rue them later

Ffs wasteful from cork. Chance gone

Timmyctc

Diabolical miss Kissane.

Credit where credit is due, this is a great game of 'football' compared to the last shiote. Being played as it should.

But the attitude. No cynicism at all.

The shots in this game are shocking.

Thinkstoomuch

Everyting i said about kissane has been proven.Couinhan a disgrace as a manager.

Poor and tired attitude from cork. Chasing the game constantly

That's because they are behind.

Lelantos

Put either of these teams in against Tyrone & there would only be 1 winner.
Game is played in good spirit, but a lack of clinical finishing on both sides will cost dearly in the semi final

Bit harsh. Tired maybe but not poor. They're giving their all.

keith16

Another awful effort in front of goal by Cork.

Isn't this the time Cork got Galway.

Presumably Dublin or Cork?

Neeson

Dublin will be in trouble against a better defence who score like Cork.

Walsh is certainly wasted in that sweeper role. Lad big and powerful like that should be heading their attack especially with Sheehan and Hurley cleaning up there. Took him ages to bring on Donncha O'Connor too who is another very useful forward.

Jesus Dublin have some bench. Bastick, Eoghan O'Gara, Dean Rock, McManaman....phenomenal options to have

Dyr

jesus cork gave bastick some amount of room for that point

Guess again

A dublin v cavan game will be good I think

Good night Irene.

Not including players like Kevin Nolan and Paddy Andrews too.

Sunnyisland

See yis next week.

kupus

added time...........its like a default setting, 2 mins only????

McCaffrey deserved MOTM and Dublin deserving advancers. Why the fúck isnt anyone reading the breaks off Sheehan?

TeddyTedson

Fair play to Cork. They gave 110 percent and can hold there heads high going home tonight

ShamoBuc

Congrats Dublin - don't think they will win Sam though, not with their Keeper being their top scorer. If Brogan can find his form then that's another matter.
Dubs v Kerry - looking forward to that.

Thinkstoomuch

Congrats To Dublin,by far the better team.The score did not do ye justice.

Frankie Lee

The best Dublin team I've seen in my lifetime. Counihan might go after this.

Here Precious2

Dubs fully deserved it. Fcuking counihan hasn't a clue.. No paddy Kelly ?...hope that's the end of CC reign.

Last 10 mins from cork were sloppy it has to be said. Good first half

intellectual dosser

I think Spillane is making a good point....Dublin still mortal.
