Hopefully on TV as well
I think youâre as delusional as the Cork management appear to be.

What age are you? Thatâs a big statement to make.
Youâd have to believe the player capable of beating you on your own. To be fair to Cork Lynch shredded them in AIF, they couldnât have that again. But they basically sacrificed midfield in order to hold him. They should have just gone with it and played 5 forwards if they really felt it was that vital. The 3 lads in the FF line got fuck all ball anyway.
Again TK is capable of ripping you assunder on his own, but if you want to keep some structure then I think you just bite the bullet and sacrifce a forward. Otherwise like you say your team will be dragged apart, without TK even touching a ball.
Hegarty made hay with the space left by Cork man marking Lynch.

At intercounty level, I donât think any player is actually able to win a match on his own, especially out around the middle of the field. Itâs not as if you ignore him completely; stand off him and let him do what he wants; you still close down the space, put him under pressure and disrupt him but you donât sacrifice your setup to do it.
Obviously you have to be wary of where the opposition threats lie, but itâs one thing I admire about the Limerick setup, they donât give a fuck about opposition individuals. Remember in 2020, Kelly was running riot whenever he did get the ball; everyone was screaming for him to be man marked by Finn. Or last year in the Munster Final, Forde was sitting off into space and popping points over. If everyone on the team was doing their job properly, that space wouldnât have been there. So it was just a case of copping on & doing the job they were told to rather than being given a man marking job.

Certainly makes our route very worrisome if Cork win. As you say in a later post we simply donât beat Clare in Ennis. Once we cross the Shannon at all weâre in bother.

I think Waterford beating Cork at home will be enough.
Corkâs score difference is terrible and bad and all as Tipp are (and we are desparate), I donât forsee Cork running up an absolute cricket score.
Clare could easily beat Limerick in Ennis too leaving it
Limerick - 6
Clare - 6
Waterford - 4
Cork - 4
Waterford would have the head2head on Cork too.
Waterford should be fine, so long as they beat Cork at home and donât get hammered by Clare.
If we donât beat Cork at home we deserve to be out.

Ye may throw yer hats at it if ye canât beat this Cork side.
Waterford will beat Cork a point a man in Waterford. Cork/Clare is basically a knock-out game for Cork, make no mistake - and the players will know it.
Hard to see Waterford beating Cork.
Cork have legendary pace. Waterford wonât have the legs for it unfortunately
Cork never feared Waterford
Tipp lads, whatâs holding back Paddy Cadell? I thought heâd be an important future building block.

You would think so
Late 20s. I donât think itâs really even a debate in that time. Maybe not worst player for player but definitely furthest away from the top teams
Even during the 2000âs we used be full sure going off to Munster Finalâs weâd beat Cork.
Now we are beat before a ball is thrown in.
