Absolutely astonishing confidence on show once more from Cork supporters

Youād be surprised so pal. Reminds me a lot of Cork in 2012. Theyāve a lot of really promising players stepping up.
2012?
A poor Cork team got to the final in 13 and could easily have won it but it was hardly a vintage era
Cork supporters are not confident. The team are too inconsistent. Cork have failed miserably against Limerick and Clare, two teams who bring huge workrate. Workrate is the foundation on any good team. Cork have a lot of promising players but knockout championship is the litmus test.

100%. Absolute insufferable animals. That crowd, that night, still remains the worst Iāve ever come across. They werenāt there in 2010. The ball had burst at that stage.
I was thinking of them when Limerick were giving them the mother and father of hammerings last August.

It was as good as ye got for a long time. Certainly would have lost by less in the final last year.
The current team for all their faults are superior to the 2013 team, it would have been incredible if that team had won an all Ireland, just one of those years.
Cork have been very poor since the last great team finished up, theyāre a work in progress now, harder to see the improvement when thereās a standout team like Limerick to measure yourself against

Itās fascinating to watch
Iām giving that a like. Like a wolf wearing an Eoin Cadogan cardboard mask.
Will ye bring yer selves back around for Wexford? A lot of talk going around about getting another crack at Limerickā¦dangerous stuff that with 2 hurdles to jump before that can happen.
Any word on TKs fitness down there?
It is very heartening to see that despite the success of KK, Tipp and Limerick since Cork had a decent team that nothing unites the forum like the hatred of Cork

The easiest AI in history. Limerick fucked away a semi and we git ahead of ourselves. A harsh lesson than we learnt but stood to us. Cork should have won 2013
Woah, woah, woahā¦ I believe it was you who waded in about Cork being the second best team in Ireland and beating Galway when you like.

I have heard very little talk of anyone thinking that we are going to waltz our way to an all Ireland rematch with limerick.
I think the suspension is a strange way may be a help this week, rather than sleep walk into a q/f with a Wexford team who will feel they owe us one and nothing to lose minds will be focused and Iād expect a reaction. The decision to start Cian Nolan v Waterford now looks a canny enough one.
If our energy levels are where they need to be I think we will have too much for them but if not then Wexford are more than capable of beating us.
Kelly is fine - was just severe cramp which forced him off.

No, I didnāt say Cork could beat Galway when they liked, I was responding to some posts about Galway winning historical matches as if that matters.
I do believe that Cork are as good as as anybody else, I think Clare are overrated, Galway and Kilkenny are all close enough.
But Limerick are streets ahead
@Pirlo, any word on why OāKeeffe didnāt play yesterday? Presume thatās Dunbar gone for the season too.
Tactical I think. He was warming up for most of the match.

Most Cork folk donāt trust the team enough to beat Galway at all. Then again, Galweigians will feel the same. I would have much preferred Kilkenny, theyāre far more limited.
It will be a fascinating contest between two of the most inconsistent teams Iāve ever seen. Genuinely, anything can happen.

Cork only scraped past Dublin due to some wrongful ref calls.
