Should've been a black card for Cian O'Sullivan. Very strange game. Dublin just strolling around the field at times. They don't seem tuned in at all.

Replying To MadgeKing:  "The blackest of black cards for cian o sullivan.
Deliberate pull down in front of goal. But sure look...."
Absolutely

Replying To Thelonesomegoose:  "RTE's bias towards Dublin is so embarrassing. Dolan calling all their players by their first name. Moloney commentating on every single Dublin game and mentioning they've changed sponsors today as if that is relevant to anything. It's meant to be impartial."
Nonsense. Theres no other word for your post. Get rid of your anti blue bias and you might even see that yourself.

cork doing well.
They need to stay with them now and take the game into the final 10 minutes, if anything to see how Dublin react.
Its been 2 years sine Dublin last had a proper game,

Replying To Ulsterman:  "Black card for Dublin No.6 surely?? Dragging an opponent down."
We'll see what Brolly has to say about it, 'drag him down' rem him slating Sean Cavanagh for it, he'll say nothing much this evening I reckon,
Dubs are some side though, going to take some stopping.

no sign of the Blue Army on the hill.
Chelsea are in town so id presume Richmond was a sellout.

If ever a score didn't fully reflect a match it was this match. Cork have some seriously good players and if they didn't miss some relatively easy chances in the second half it could have been a different story. That said, although Dublin haven't looked as invincible as in previous years (so far) physically, they don't make many mistakes mentally and any mistakes made by Cork Dublin capitalised on them and that trait will ensure they remain very hard to beat.

Fair play to Cork, played very well but weren't able to match us over the 70. Great to see the hunger in our side after all these years.
Yes we're fitter and have a better panel but the execution of some of our scores was top class.

Very easy for them to be that way when they don't have a 3-4 hour journey to do beforehand

Cork did as much as they could and stayed with them until Dublin's superior conditioning and experience inevitably told. The scoreline looks bad but they played well in a game they were never going to win no matter what they did. I hope they get at least one win to round off their year.

Dublin looking strong. Brolly's Dublin love in on RTE is embarrassing, Whelan is in stitches beside him.

Yes can't disagree with that, Dublin are a hell of a team, if they get pushed there's a lot more there too, great performance by Cork but they were playing probably the greatest team of all time.

Scary how good dublin are...and even at that they can play so much better. Great for Dublin fans but boring for the rest of the country. Rest of us playing for second place.

Btw - very poor attendance despite what looked like a decent crowd from cork there (by their standards).

Margin of victory flattered Dublin. It should only have been 6 or 7 points. I thought I was being extra cautious backing Cork +13 on the handicap but didnt expect their goalkeeper to gift one to Dublin. If they didnt give away that goal I dont think they'd have conceded the next one either and the margin would have been at the 6 or 7 point mark.

Whelan was the only non biased person on that entire broadcast which is kind of ironic.

Oh jaysus, a new angle or did teams always have to travel to get to Croker? Maybe teleportation?

Was that Dublin's home game or neutral venue one?

Only winding ye up lads.

Sad that what turned into an absolute hammering has been accepted as a great game and a strong showing from Cork. Dublin's dominance has been completely normalized and taken for granted.

What was the official attendance? Looked pretty small. Any idea why the Dub supporters didn't 'travel'???
