The Battle for Sam 2009

great play by Cork here
Back up to 4 in front

Some spot by the ref

Some amount of yellows today. Gooch is having another mare. Will he come good in last 10

He is probably the best around in fairness to him…calls it as he sees it and no ego…Johnny Healy and Kevin Walshe could learn a thing or two off him

Gooch should have got another yellow for that. Should be taken off.

Dara doesn’t have the legs for it

Cork look like they are clearing up at midfield
Masters has won a fair bit of ball as well suprisingly
Bad miss there- should have taken the point

Tis as good as over now, cork have weathered the storm, a decent game all the same…Think i predicted a 3 point cork win in the competition

Long way from over yet. Could be a goal in Kerry yet

think kerry made too many changes at the one time when they had got back into the game…Cork went down and got about 1-3…kerry half backs are giving their full back line no protection…

Cork a winning the midfield again and will close it out, can’t see them fucking it away twice in 6 days

Ok now its over. Does Jack O’Connor know what a centre back does?? How is Tommy Griffin still on the field

I’d say they’ll savour these last few minutes and hold onto the ball for as long as possibe

Michael Shields has the makings of a superb full back

Gooch badly needs a kick up the hole.

Counihan really had his work done.

Anthony Lynch man of match

Jesus Kerry are some shambles. Just watching the last 15 mins here but the space the Cork lads have on the ball is just ridiculous.

Surprised that Kerry appear to have thrown in the towel
COrk lads in the crowd taunting them would do well to remember that Kerry might be beaten but they’re not out of the competition

Agree with it all
Gooch looks completely disinterested
Lynch has some bogger head on him but is a class act alright

I think Kerry will be a little bigger than 13/8 after this. Tyrone must loving it.

Gooch is getting narky cos everything isn’t going his way. Didn’t kick a ball and should have been booked before he was and then should have got the line with 55 minutes gone. Jack O’Connor will need to get him back playing right. Theres no one like him when he’s interested.
Major revamp needed for the qualifiers. Why not try Kennelly at centre back. He has the breeding for it and the mobility. Has to be other options than Griifin or O’Mahony.
Donaghy back full forward, Aidan O’shea, Moran back in. Reidy out. He’s been a passanger for a long time now. Nearly cost them the all-ireland a few years ago against monaghan. Took them 60 minutes to take him off and then they started to play. Took Jack O’Connor all day to take him off today aswell.
