Dublin V Cork All Ireland Hurling SmeiFinal

Sport
161

Yeah. That’d be big for a hurling semi too.

162

Prediction:
Cork 1-19
Dublin 0-18

163

Cork supporters are very arrogant, The Dubs will teach them a lesson

164

Just back from Dublin, there is some serious amount of Cork support on the way up. The Rebel roar will be savage in Croker today.

165

They’ll have more support than Dublin, but that’s only to be expected as today’s match clashes with the Community Shield and also comes too soon after yesterday’s Dublin Decider for many people here.

For shame.

Conor Lehane will be Man of the Match.

166

Kinda hope so would be a bit disappointing if the year of shocks ended with Cork as champs

167

my mate rang me with a spare ticket 5 mins ago so I think I´ll head to Croker…its for the hogan stand so I´m looking forward to exchanging words with a few Cork cunts…hope the Dubs give a good account of themslevs…but you just don´t know with this dublin team how they´ll go…realistically if they get off to a good start I could see them winning pulling up…but if cork get a good start Dublin could fold…I´m going to go with the former…dubs by 5+:pint::pint:

Just realized Setanta are showing the Community Shield and a Championship game instead of the All Ireland hurling semi final.

Subscription cancelled. I’m somewhere between angry and upset.

169

Atmosphere building nicely around Croke Park now. Obviously been a serious recruitment drive for the rebel army as the place is swarming with Corkonians. Heading in now for the minor. Predicting a Waterford Cork double.

To be fair to Setanta they may be obligated to show the soccer. Some broadcast contracts stipulate that you have to show every designated match and can’t elect not to show one. This is how the selling party ensures they’re exposed properly to the market.

Don’t know if that is a factor for today’s soccer but it may explain what seems a ludicrous decision otherwise.

171

So you were not going to attend until you got a free ticket?

172

not sure how we are going to handle Keaney…im still thinking about it
Ive a feeling Luke O Farrell could click today
if we somehow mange to nullify Keaney, may need Shane O Neill to keep him quiet and the lads inside use their speed i can see us running a drag with their FB line
Cork by 7+, Luke O Farrell with 1-4
absolute champagne hurling throughout with very little frees
something along the lines of Cork 1-25 Dublin 0-17

173

Obviously, stick stick is a bogger sport for de doobs.

In unrelated news, great to see so many Dublin jerseys around leafy Malahide this morning.

kev,
you are perfectly within your rights here to leave your house now in the truck and drive into a WA pub and throttle the first cunt you see from Cork or Dublin in a United shirt watching and cheering that shit on Setanta

Ya, I’d say you are right. The sooner they do a deal with just Celtic and Rangers the better for the Scottish shit. There is no way the other teams in Scotland command a bigger audience than Irish GAA fans. It’s Hearts-Hibs now. It’s Community Shield then (which Is on at least one other channel)followed by the Championship game.

They sell the GAA hard as part of the Setanta package. It’s infuriating.

Anyone got a link lads, Turenne, what has been working for you.
