Cork v Limerick Munster SHC Final 2014

Heā€™s a creepy INTERNET stalker.

Yerra Iā€™m barely Junior C class around here

Your man love knows no limits.

I would expect Tobin to be dropped alright, but Iā€™d rather see Allis come in.

Iā€™d like to see Dowling at full or at least in a two man ff line.

If they had the balls Hickey would be at six with either of the half backs to go.

Itā€™s not quite what iā€™d pick but itā€™s what I expect will start. (#TFKexclusive)
I wouldnā€™t mind it too much. I would still prefer to see Downes at centre forward. Hickey at 6 would be good, I still worry about Paudie at wing back.

We are a long long time without a competitive game. Must be a concern?

Paudie gets through alot of ball but heā€™s very loose on his man most games,Cork will look to put Pa Cronin on him.

Iā€™ve stepped up my drinking over the last few weeks to compensate, but the long break is a concern alright. There is no substitute for championship drinking.

Bus is booked for 12 hours :pint:

Is there still space on it?

Only if you ditch the woman :pint:

I have arranged for that to be the case. :pint:

Iā€™ll make a call and see what the story is

Way back up only. Unless ye want to collect me in Mallow or something.

Limerick will win this. Fact.

Sounds like thereā€™s going to be some Limerick heads busted if they invade the pitch when they win on Sunday

Cork GAA authorities are unhappy about the decision of the Munster Council to retain professional event security firm Frontline to supervise Sundayā€™s Munster football final between in PĆ”irc UĆ­ Chaoimh.

The Cork venue is due for demolition this year and its last big match will be next weekendā€™s Munster hurling final.

There were complaints some of the security had been heavy handed, for instance in the post-match sweep of the pitch to remove lingering spectators, and county chair Bob Ryan said yesterday he believed the deployment of the company to have been excessive.

ā€œWe have no control over anything like that; itā€™s a matter for the Munster Council but I thought the thing was totally over the top. Iā€™ve never seen it in Thurles or in [BCOLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Limerick[/BCOLOR] or Killarney nor have I ever see the need for it. We were just told that they would be there.

ā€œIt was so different from what weā€™re used to. I believe someone from Frontline was on the local media in Cork saying that they considered it a dry run for next Sunday. The only reason we were given was that it was a template for fixtures into the future.ā€

Crowd management at the venue would normally have been provided by voluntary stewards. Sundayā€™s Cork-Kerry match drew a modest attendance of 21,028 but the hurling final will be a sell-out. At present the capacity is 32,138.

The Munster Council declined to speak about the matter yesterday but it is believed that with health and safety regulations chipping away at the permitted capacity ā€“ there was controversy in Limerick at the number of supporters who would lose out on the opportunity to attend the final because of the contrast between the Cork venue and those in Limerick and Thurles, which can hold at least around 50,000 ā€“ officials have been trying to tick all boxes with a view to accommodating as many spectators as possible.

Part of this involves the retention of a professional security firm.

[SIZE=3]New stadium [/SIZE]
The proposed new stadium on the same site would have a capacity of 45,000 and is intended to feature greater comfort for spectators as well as premium facilities such as are available at Croke Park and Lansdowne Road.

ā€œWeā€™re waiting on the finalisation of planning and the BĆ³rd PleanĆ”la appeal,ā€ according to Ryan, ā€œbut weā€™d be hoping we can begin construction by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Weā€™d be hopeful that matches will be played there in the spring of 2017.ā€

Although the countyā€™s second ground, PĆ”irc UĆ­ Rinn, will be capable of accommodating national league matches and club fixtures, major championship occasions such as this monthā€™s wonā€™t be able to take place in the city until the redevelopment is complete.

Consequently in the next two years Cork will play away fixtures and accumulate home credits for when their new venue is available in three yearsā€™ time.

These boys will cause trouble in the terraces
