Cork v Waterford - All Ireland Hurling Semi-Final 2'17

Waterford have cork the brick and Moran brill

It’ll go down to the wire, you’d think. Waterford the better side but I think they need another forward… They’re relying on potshots when they are on top.

The way they play makes it very hard for Waterford to put up a lead. They’ll need another goal or two

Waterford had an opportunity in the middle of that half when the were on top to really go for it, but retreated back into their shells. Must be very frustrating for Waterford supporters, when you get on top you simply have to put the boot to the throat.

Interpretation. :grin:

If I never have to suffer through another match involving a Derek McGrath trained team I’ll die a happy man.

It’s not a bad match.

Donal Og is an annoying cunt

Waterford pushed up on Nash but cork are just not at full tilt uet

Ger Lock won’t look at Donal og

Eh the scoreline is fine. Horgan missed a few sitters and Lehane missed a handy one by his standards (nevermind the fact that he was fouled) five minutes from the end.

Like most Cork people I’d imagine.

Not a free flowing spectacle but it’s enjoyable in its own way

Its awful mate. The last ten minutes almost put me into a coma.

Fair to say the all Ireland final was played last Sunday

Waterford have hit some terrible wides & it’s a pity as their Hurling has deserved more. System is working well defensively but you’d think an extra forward like Curran would do well today.

Cork still there though after losing momentum half through half. Lack of class replacements could scupper them but I think they’ll improve second half.

Draw looks a real possibility as things stand.

Waterford on top but not doing enough on the scoreboard. Ref will do all in his power to swing it to Cork in the second half.

Sky showed a replay I didn’t see if the gleeson incident. It was 100% red card imo after seeing it again.

This will be very close.

Waterford will feel they should be more ahead than they are, but tactically they are winning for sure. The pressure is ramping up and up on the Cork puckout and Cork aren’t liking it. Waterford’s long balls are causing problems for the Cork backs too.

Cork’s midfield and half-forwards are going to have to step up in a big way as their full forward line are really being swallowed up. Harnedy has not been mapped. They’re going to have to find a different way to win from their previous matches.

At the other end you feel there’s another goal in Waterford and more to come from Gleeson and Barron.

Shanahan could decide this match.

Tha t cork defends will have to improve if they win today Galway will won’t miss goals
