The wife loves the old tennis.....she has 2 hopes of getting near the telly. she may get the computer to watch it online

From a Cork perspective do ye think it will be Shields picking up Gooch and Canty on Donaghy or a different tactic? Kerry's midfield looks very weak especially without Galvin picking up the breaks. Aidan Walsh has come on leaps and bounds recently and the fact he is keeping Nicholas Murphy out of the team is a testament to that. I also think Paddy Kelly could have a big game as I'm not convinced of Brosnan at centre-back.

I'd be very optimistic heading up to Kilarney on Sunday but you have to always be mindful that Kerry's forward line are outstanding. Even still I'll go for Cork by 5pts.

I also expect that the hype about Dublin will be firmly put back in check. A wounded Kilkenny side might not be the team they once were but i think on the big championship day, they'll run out comfortable winners.

Canty has done well on Donaghy before, so I'd think he'll be taking him. Shields will be in for a tough time on Cooper, as anyone would be. If he can break near enough even, then you'd have to be happy at that. I think they must have something in mind for coping with being outgunned in the middle of the park. Sans the dentist, they are maybe not as well equipped to put another man in there to shore things up. That means Paddy Kelly being in at CF to play more ball instead of Pearce O'Neill in to help the midfield and drive at Brosnan. It has given us the option to do that at any rate.

The PP's beating the Junkies may be no bad thing for either side.

also the ulster hurling final is on;

Tennis Schmennis!!! I hope you've put your foot down there Rebel.

Gwaaan the Dubs!!! You can do it with ye sticks!

@ Bog ball. Is firey Eoin C. playing?

Run at Kerry and we will cause them problems. Games like this are where the likes of Kerrigan,Pa Kelly and even Pearse earn their stripes. I believe Walsh will grow into one of the top midfielders of his generation and hope he lays down a marker on Sunday. Only one choice for me on Sunday,the tennis will be watched later!

Cads is at a crossroads. He's on the bench. I think he'll be sprung in the HB line if and when needed. Ciaran Sheehan is the lad to really up it this year and make a mark for himself I think

At a crossroads? Does that mean he'll have to pick between the two codes one day?

I reckon so. He'd surely be a starter on the football panel if he went at it full time. It isn't really fair on the likes of Eoin Cotter who are in and around the panel the whole time to see Cads getting hot shotted in. His form with the small ball has dipped too.

Hmmm I wonder which he'd pick. I thought he was better with a hurley but I'm probably incorrect. Might be beneficial to him to focus on one code anyway.

I think he'd choose small balls.
There is a clamour for Aidan Walsh and Ciaran SHeehan to play dual as well but I think they have made it clear they prefer big balls.....or at least the set up of the big balls.

Just watched last weeks Sunday Game, and I don't think Brogan's free should've been given. It should've been a draw.

Cari,I would stay quiet now. You won't fit on Hill 16 if you're honest.(or if you're not drunk and snorting something )

Seriously though, I'm really not sure what the free was for, but that could be that the cameras didn't catch everything or it was a just a very harsh call, who knows? Anyway it's done now....and the Dubs will be at the QFs

I probably won't be allowed on Hill 16 cause I'm not a proper Dub Besides I just want to be sat where there's a fab view of everything!!
That reminds me, can one of you explain what the yellow sign with "John 3:7" on it means? I always see one held up behind the goals at different matches, I just wondered what that was about?

"Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’"

Thanks Rebel...I thought it was biblical, but I wasn't sure. What's the significance of that bit with GAA? Did someone quote it?

You should try and get upper tier tickets so Cari. They might be a bit costly but worth it for an amazing view.

Some God botherer started it

It has always just been there

Ive met him before.............a fierce pain in the a**e who knows nothing about sport..................

Someone else is sorting the tickets out for me Thom so I'll be sitting wherever he gets the tickets for. In the pit would be nice with the lads, like

Thanks for that link Rebel - interesting. I like the Eugene one better!! he must get about then or someone with the same sign does cause I've seen it at a few games not just Croke.

Get ready for Sickado so

I went out, so I am offering thoughts on the Tribesmen against Clare ages after the action has finished....Canning got a brilliant goal....A BRILLIANT goal off his left side. just incredible skill. he took the ball into contact, flung his man off, back onto the stick, flicked it inside another man, changing his grip in the process and thrashed it in from an angle.

Just one of a couple of nice goals from the tribesmen. Clare defended like dummies.
Hayes scores a nice one earlier on. Farragher and Kerins got goals also.

Kerins pulled a lovely shot on the left after pulling it out of the sky on his caman.

Clare had a man sent off for a stupid stupid pull across Canning. the game had gone, but i'd literally knock him up and down the dressing room for letting his team mates down.

good performance from gaillimh....they can do that...or be like they were against Dublin.

On the match the morra, I knew the focus was going to be on who wouldn't be playing for the animals as opposed to those who we will be without,

The bould Marty 'goochy goochy star star' Morrisey in plugging the action tomorrow informed us that Kerry would be sans "Paul Galvin, Tomas O'Se and Dara O'Se".......holy god.

bonnar leaves wexford in after loss to limerick

Here's something for Thomond when he comes in:

Ah, so that's the reason for the attitude problem in Cork.

Breaking news: No Mauriuce Fitzgerald for Kerry today......................

Had a good evening in the Gaelic Grounds last night. What impressed me was that Limerick never let Wexford get on top and even though we still made a few mistakes, we won comfortably. The small Wexford support deserved a bit better from their team though...........................................

Looking forward to Cork or Antrim now.......................................

Dub - aye they're all frustrated!

John - glad you enjoyed the match last night. Good win for Limerick. I'm really looking forward to the biggie this afternoon. Come on the Dubs!!

Speaking of which, I'm wearing my Dubs shirt today and I was just in the supermarket. I heard an Irish voice behind me say "There's a Dubs shirt, up the Dubs!" and I got chatting to a couple of Irish lads.

Bomber Liston ruled out after failing a late fitness test........20 years late fitness test.

There has to be a bar to watch that game in Cari.... has to be!

its another TV3 offering. I hate small ball on TV3!!!

For those of y'all out foreign, give our friend justin a call. He'll let you into his gaff to look at the game. just send him a message to;

/the_city_end

and he'll give you directions to his house.

Donaghy starts in the middle

Marty m is sickening me already

Kerry off to a good start

11 minutes

4 points to no score

Kerry flying.

The little english boy scored a lovely running goal. Typical of him.

Really lovely stuff.

Cork not going at all. A Couple of chances passed up. Kerry missed one too.
1-5 to 0-2

Rebel - are you saying someone's streaming it live? You can put the link up here now cause we're not on the BBC anymore

There are pubs in town that will show it but I feel a bit lost on me own going to watch it there.

Kerry getting things right. leading by 7

yeah, Justin tv/the_city_end

Cork 1977.

cork getting a bit of a doing.

a point disallowed harshly imo but that doesn't mask a poor performance

That doesn't work Rebel.

an luck?

Ah that's why...you need an access code. It's OK, I'll listen in on the radio.

Cork1977

great. I can't even listen in on the radio. The GAA Media Player's not working properly. this is a disaster.

that passcode should work

donaghy stamps on noellie.....yella.
sheehan over on the knee. goold on

cads on for kissane. Kissane injured

What passcode? It says you have to message someone for it. I don't understand why the GAa media player doesn't work. I don't get any messages or anything, it's just frozen. Can't even download Realplayer or some other means to access the radio. This is disaster for me. So unfair.
