You really are a top businessman.
Cork will win this by 4-5 pts,I will be backing them HT/FT at 23/10.
not sure where that leaves you believing cian McCarthy is a ball winning intercounty hurler. Is there footage of him anywhere in any match for cork catching a high ball under pressure?
those lads mentioned are nor serious options. moylan is decent, coughlan is completely ordinary and farrell is very quick but limited hurling wise. cork have a very good first 15 developed painstakingly by murphy who has imbued them with a deep respect for the jersey they wear but he is searching very very hard for alternatives up front becasue the players in there are not what he needs.
will he continue if tipp beat cork this weekend. If he doesn`t will the next cork manager get as much out of the same group of players.
There are goals there for Tipp.
Tipp 2-19
Cork 0-22.

McCarthy did well against Clare last year in Munster - he can add physicality but he wonât play because Cronin is fit
it it was a wet and windy day McCarthy could be brought in to defend a lead from the front too
JBM has a great eye for a player but I think Kingston deserves a lot of credit for how Cork are playing and setting up versus last year. Cork team is much stronger than last year. Time will tell if they are good enough but I think they will be.

I dont recall him doing much that day but i wont argue the point with you as i would have to look at it again before i would comment there
there was a sh1t load of Mythology over his performance in the drawn final last year which maybe colours peoples thoughts on him
on the much stronger than last year that remains to be seen.
they beat us well in munster two years in a row and they got over the line this year against limerick where last year they didnt. limerick had enough possession in the first 15 minutes to kill cork but they didnt do it. if they had shot points against ye the way they did against kilkenny in the first half it would have been interesting
you can`t say for certain they are better this year than last until 20 minutes in on sunday.

the first day out he came on as a sub and was beaten for a high ball which bugler then lost and it fell to mccarthy who was fouled. he then got injured and had to go off again.
this was translated into a huge performance breaking clares dominance in the half back line in the intervening weeks. he started the replay , got on a bit of loose ball and hit it wide.
the end.[/QUOTE]
Munster semi finalâŚ:rolleyes:
he started centre forward because Cronin was not fit - Cronin came on after about an hour
it was the reason he started in the replay in the AI final

what, all 2 of them!!..
cork will walk this
Good God, I hope not.
We will know definitely by Saturday evening. At that stage the game will have been played on here so we should have a result before throw in on Sunday.
Why do you bother boring us?
Is that a rhetorical question.
Easy on the big words with Harry
I expect Shane OâNeil to be targeted here with success for Tipperary⌠They will need Cahill themselves at the other end, which my man on the ground tells me it doesnât look like he is gonna make it. He will be a big loss for Tipp if so.
Cahill will start.
Tipp are rattled if they seriously believe Dublin not scoring a goal has âstopped the rotâ
Kilkenny hit them for five in Nowlan Park in February, Clare stuck four past them in Thurles and Cork did the same in a league quarter-final at the same venue later that month.
They addressed it with a sequence of positional adjustments that worked well initially, Padraic Maherâs switch to full-back appearing to create the greatest stability.
But just when they thought they had reduced the flow to a comparative trickle, conceding two goals in each of their subsequent games against Clare and Kilkenny in the League play-offs and Limerick in the Munster semi-final, it flared up again with Galwayâs quartet in the first-round qualifier. For Paddy Stapleton, it was a bittersweet evening in Thurles.
There was relief to get a first championship win in almost two years but great frustration too that the goal concession tally had risen to 26 in 10 competitive games in 2014. Tipperary were leaking goals at a rate of over two and a half per game. For a team with serious Championship ambitions, it was an alarming level to reach
My top secret mole who I refuse to name at any cost isnât so confident- Tho he is stoned most of the day so fuck knows if he even knows what day the game is on.
