You are correct but kerry always seem to be up it for dublin. I look at last years semi and Kerry were fairly average against a mediocre tyrone. They played really well in both finals ultimately lost but Dublin seems to bring out the best in Kerry

Dublin are laughing at this.

The commentators are dying for cards here

Most of us neutrals are thinking the same, tactical foul after foul around the 45 by Kerry... shîte play.

They had a man advantage for most of the first game and couldn't win. Got soundly beaten in the replay.

Tristram

Just how bad are the conditions?

Hup the ****ing rebels, I'll take that

Cork ahead at ht.


Love it!

The ref needs to dish out some cards at the start of second half if this fouling carries on. It’s taking the piss.

Kerry's defensive plan is what's taking the piss, ruining football

robbiezero

Poor game, but the onus is on Kerry to go out and do the job as Dublin did so clinically and efficiently last night.
They have been really poor and those saying Mayo/Galway would have no chance against them in a semi-final might need to think again.

PARlance

Lovely stuff, Cork HT Kerry FT was too good to pass.

Itssoeasy

I need to remember to record that John Delaney thing tomorrow night. That oireachtas committee carry on was a disgrace.

Not great, but certainly not the reason Kerry are losing. Their tactics are to blame.
Cork are playing slow, patient, possession football, like they've done for years.
Kerry are trying the tactics they think are needed to beat Dublin.

Kerry will change tactics and be more direct in the second half but if Cork can muster a green flag or two, you never know.

Shocking half of football. I've said it before. This winter championship is a tough watch. Regardless of today's result. Conditions not helping the spectacle but Kerry have been extremely poor. Only for cork being equally poor, this could be embarrassing for Kerry, still could be.

Hes right too. These are supposed "elite" athletes and conditions are the same for both sides. Fair balls to cork so far

ShamoBuc

You'd swear they never trained or played in the rain before.

This is like an Ulster Championship game. 5 scores in 22mins!

Nothing as pure as Munster football...

BIG time, he’s riding Cork, a pretty incompetent showing from him.

snowgal

Would expect Kerry to come out, up a gear, make a few changes and take it...still with knockout were surely going to get a shocker or 2?!

RoscommonTom

pure rotten game, the jacks will win it this year with no challenge by the looks of it, matches in this weather are cat,

Kerry defensive tactical game plan is to foul the Cork forwards once they are in and around the 45 or closer. Very cynical, ref needs to be quicker with the cards. AGAIN!!

They wouldn't ever be that cynical surely.

Only find that in Ulster.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

I really don't think it's difficult to see that bad conditions favour some teams over others. I'm not saying it's favouring Cork more today, just that some teams are clearly more suited to wet weather.

zetecescort

still think we (cork) are going to need a goal, maybe two to win this

Sure if you say it enough it must be true.

Walsh making a lot of mistakes for Cork. I'd bring in Connolly.

The rain smacking against my windows here in Cork City is insane

Lundstram

The camera man even got sick of watching that game.
