But as I said before, the goals look there for Tipp. Don't see the same Cork threat.

Cork havent even had the whiff of a goal chance, whereas Tipp have had a fair few.

Wonder if Tipp should have taken their points as opposed to concentrating on all those goal chances.

Reckon Cody is a happy cat watching these two teams.

Maybe, but Lars he just didn't pick up. Bonner hadn't much space for his one. They might rue missed chances, but you have to create em to score em. Cork haven't managed that.

Ignorant etc.

Tipperary have completely dominated the first half but are only two points ahead. Cork won't be as bad in the second half and I see them winning. I don't think either are showing enough to beat the Cats though.

Boom__Boom

Did it seem to anyone else that the players had a lot more difficulty rising the ball than usual?

Tipp look better but Cork have had a bucket load of wides and the Ref on their side..

Tipp are unlucky not to have had more luck in front of goal, as they arnt getting the break of the ball since the first goal...

I dont know what to make of it other than i dont mind who wins playing like that. That long ball will suit us(kk) down to the ground..

Great goal by Callanan the highlight of the half. Some really awful aimless play by both teams, both teams have a lot of men back and are playing into each other's time by hitting high, hopeful balls into the half-back lines.

Callanan has a huge height advantage over O'Neill, but O'Neill is coping better now. Lar is playing poorly, his fumbled rise was a glorious opportunity.


Cork struggling really, but Harnedy & Lehane are starting to pick up a few breaks and they are only 2 points down.


Cork did get some very very soft frees, Nash's first one wasn't a free imo and neither was the last one Horgan got. Walsh/Kearney have been disappointing so far, Woodlock the dominant midfielder. Paudie Maher cleaning up at the back, but then so are Ellis & Joyce.

Surely a free to Tipp as well?

Spudmonkey

Has Lar done anything. He's more a liability at this stage.

Mantis Toboggan

Some of corks play is terrible. If tipp are any good they should be winning this handy!

Ompala

Tipp need to bring on subs now, Lar should have been off at half time

Mountainlad

UNREAL

Boom__Boom

Do Cork know this is a knock-out game?

Mantis Toboggan

Cork are so bad it's unbelievable!

Dan Chipowski

Hard to credit how appalling Cork have been here. Embarrassingly bad all over the field.

Shocking performance from them - completely lifeless.

How long was JBM's term supposed to be?

Dan Chipowski

Typical Cork, Cooper looking for a stupid short pass instead of roofing the thing.

Digitalism

Nothing better that seeing the "rebels" get a tidy pasting, even if it's by tipp. Cork are absolutely dreadful today, some of the worst passing I've ever seen.

Stevecw

That cud be that, what a goal chance messed up

Justin Credible Darts

haha this is beautiful, the city will be full of people crying in their drink tonight.

tipp teaching them a severe lesson

Talib Fiasco

O Dwyer is the best point scorer in the country. Such a talented player

Boom__Boom

Cork lucky Tipp didnt take advantage of all those goal chances in the first half or it could have been an absolute battering.

Tinie

Tipp won't get away with all these goal chances cork are missing against Kilkenny that's for sure.

Stevecw

That's a shocking miss

Say Your Number

Third year in a row that the Munster Champions haven't shown up for the Semi Final.

Amprodude

JBM must go after this.

Suits Cody to a tee.

Just the situation you'd want as a manager with Tipp destroying Cork in a semi as opposed to Kilkenny sneaking past Limerick.

Talib Fiasco

Yeah Jimmy will go after this and I insetm God he takes Pa Cronin with him. He ruins a potential great Cork attack. He's a useless player.

Boom__Boom

Severe lack of fight/intensity by the rebels.

And yet Kilkenny will be favourites and the choice of the pundits. So I don't think that'll have a bearing.

You clearly have no understanding of championship games between munsters big 2 to come out with this remark. Neither team has or will blow the other out of the water ffs.

Tipp have the weakest midfield of the four semi finalist - weakest by a good but. Tipp also have a very weak keeper as highlighted by donal og in his article this week. If cahill is out a huge loss, cork will win this match by 3-5 points as they have a far more settled team, far superior midfield, far superior keeper and better forwards. And despite having an appalling underage record over the last 15 years will end up winning this all Ireland, proving once again in hurling in particular tradition trumps underage development every time

Prophetic stuff right there. The arrogance put right back in its box.

Lapin

The smug head on Cody.

How many times to they need to show Cody in the stands? Leave the man alone for god sake

Tipp could have won by far far more such was their dominance

I took a lot of stick from Cork fans when I said Tipp would wipe the floor with them. I remain utterly unconvinced by Cork. Tipp did look quite good at times.

Ignorant etc.

Cork were awful. Don't think Tipp are good enough to beat Kilkenny tbh because it took them an awful lot of time to build up a good lead. The Cats won't be anywhere near as soft as the Rebels.

Well Limerick were just as pathetic as Cork this time last year.

I've no intention to put the boot into Cork. I'm sorry it turned out the way it did.

But today is Tipp's day, and they will trouble KK. No question about that.

Probably jealous and bitter about the success that Cody has had and how hes so respected, and how he will go down in history as the greatest hurling manager if all time.
