Tipperary V Cork -Quarter Final Munster Senior Championship 2016

Fuck sake, one of the greatest weeks of the year - start of the Munster Championship - and not a peep out of anyone. For Fucks Sakeses.

I’m hearing a few injury doubts in Tipp camp, but i’m sure they will all be fine - Brendan Maher, Ronan Maher, Cahill, McGrath.

Cork are too quiet - I fully expect them to tear into Tipp and I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat them.

Cork 1-21 Tipp 2-17.

This has all the hallmarks of an ambush.

Cork by 2.

Both were poor enough in the league, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see Cork turn them over.

We’d beat the pick of em.

Cork are shit and yet lads are tipping cork… The baseless limerick optimism could take off yet.

… and Cody gives a functional little smirk

I’ll box the smirk off his face

You’re shit.

I saw enough in Cork v KK and Galway to suggest they are turning things around, tho to what degree is uncertain… they have a coach and are trying to develop a game plan tho. We are doing neither. Tipp are no great shakes and continue to lose tight encounters - They could very well come out and blow Cork away early but I think Cork are a little wounded and will come out fighting here.

Game plan? We have a sweeper now. What do you call that?

I think Cork will be really up for this but I think the Tipp half backline will be too strong in the air and if they do get on top there it is hard to see the Cork backs holding things together. Cork probably need a shootout and goals to win this. I just don’t see it.

I think a Cork win would be great for the championship though. Tipp being sent to the qualifiers and if one of Dublin or Galway could get the better of Kilkenny in Leinster it would blow things right open and lead to a great championship

Harnedy can cause problems at full forward for any team and if they can get ball to him will score goals. McDonnell is out so they are running out of options in defence. Call for Cork is does Ellis drop back into full back as he has been struggling a bit with injury and put Joyce out centre half.

If the pitch in Thurles is still heavy it won’t suit Cork who are going to try and use Lehane and Cadogan pace.

Cork don’t look like a team who can win scoring less than 2-20. Need it to be a shootout and not concede more goals than they score.

How many cliches in that post? You should be on the Sunday Game.

Tipp should win this one handy. Likely to be a couple of surprises in the Cork line-up.

We’ll hammer them in the intermediate though. :clap:

Tipp by 7. I think Cork are shite

Frank Flannery will have Cork primed. Cork to win.
