Cork v Kerry - Munster SFC Final - RTÉ 2

Nib

Looking forward to this.

Aidan Walsh starts for Cork and James O'Donoghue returns for Kerry.

Think Kerry will win by 3.

Diabhal Beag

Lovely point from Buckley there

darragh_haven

Kerry by 2 I reckon. Kerry will have a halter on Hurley this time.... unlike the league

Mantis Toboggan

Surely that was a penalty.

D'Agger

Good start by Enright

Nib

Great start from O'Donoghue. He's going to be a great player for years to come. His pace is frightening.

CurryFlavoured

O'Donoghue is class, love watching him play. Kerry are marking Hurley very well so far.

umop.episdn

Surprised at how easily Kerry are finding space & running rings around the Cork defence at the moment.

ref giving cork nothing

nice_guy80

Cork are a poor 'footballing' team
its all handpass and carry the ball.

Mantis Toboggan

Jeez Cork are horrendous without the ball.

Tom Joad

O'Donoghue is a joy to watch - cracking footballer. Kerry and Enright in particular have Hurley well marshalled. Would still expect him to come into the game though.

Hammar

Michael Shiels is a very good full back,but he is the wrong type of player to match up against James O' Donoghue, Ridiculous tactics from the Cork management,leaving him on him for so long.

Neeson

Cork are in the top 3 teams in the country.

Al_Coholic

Kerry should be more than 8 points ahead,Cork after the first 10 minutes have lost every battle all over the pitch,especially in midfield.

Not on today's showing.

D'Agger

Fully expected Cork to dominate the middle 8, theyre getting cleaned out

Enright, Murphy, Donoghue & Geaney are all comfortably winning their battles

Nib

Hard to see Cork pulling back a 10 point lead in the second half. Kerry have the better footballers, Cork forwards being well minded.

KevIRL

Cork absolutely useless

roshje

Cork manager needs to earn his crust now at half time

Mantis Toboggan

Serious work needed in the second half from Cork in the second half to have any chance. Full back line is getting cleaned out but they are not winning any ball around the middle of the park and letting kerry through too easy. No intensity or work rate from Cork.

CurryFlavoured

The trend of Dublin sucking the life out of teams continues. First Derry after their league hammering, now Cork as well. Watch out Meath.

Dirty Dingus McGee

A crucial 2 late scores for Cork before half time have kept them in it, its a boost for them after being dominated for the previous 25 minutes.Kerry have cleaned Cork out in midfield and Kerry's forward play has been great to watch.

Looks to be a reasonable breeze and I'd expect Cork to make a comeback like last year.

Mr. Incognito

Looks like the ref has changed jerseys at half time

Nib

Christ, 13 metres my hole. That was moved up at least 20 metres.

Ref is playing with the wind in this half.

get the vanishing foam ref

nice_guy80

referee can move the ball twice

roshje

midfield gone hiding for cork

Nib

Bryan Sheehan is a joy to watch. Effortless. The Andrea Pirlo of the GAA.

CurryFlavoured

Remember when Cork were good in midfield?

O'Donoghue is toying around with Shields, top class forward.

roshje

sheilds is getting destroy

tayto lover

Cork like rabbits in the headlights today. Very poor and little urgency.

Nib

What a braindead push from Loughrey. Good to see the referee pulling him for it, they usually don't.

nice_guy80

some free

CurryFlavoured

Tke Kerry defence is savagely underrated and has been for a while. Even the new young lads like Fionn Fitz, Enright etc. have looked very good.

Say Your Number

It was stupid free to give away but what a point from that angle by Sheehan.

Mr. Incognito

Cork management are terrible. Backs and midfield getting cleaned so change two forwards.

Awful stuff

CurryFlavoured

Why is Shields still on O'Donoghue? He needs to be changed, double up on him or something.

Shades of Kildare last week against Meath.

Diabhal Beag

James O'Donoghue is unplayable

tayto lover

For such a big lads there's something very soft about this Cork team.

roshje

Cork not even doing the basics right

I agree, best corner forward in the country right now. Unless you have a top quality corner back who you have great confidence in you need to double up on him. Shields is having a nightmare.

You have to have 50 or more posts.

Brutal brutal brutal.

Cadogan is over rated.

Totally.

CurryFlavoured

Never been a Cadogan fan either. He's too bulky and slow to be a corner back, Mannion made mince meat of him last season as well.

Cork have no fire in the belly today

Looks like they all did the Ring of Kerry cycle yesterday. Tired, sluggish & not interested.
