I actually feel sorry for them. This team will kill off football in Cork city. Unreal

I expected very little but I got less. First half absolutely brutal as you say Liam, I just feel sorry for the players. The only consolation is the winners face Kerry.

Truly shocked at their fall from grace. Considering all their underage success.

Their in the Munster final, and they are stilll more than capable of big performance in front of their own. Kerry or Clare will have a fight on their hands in 3 weeks

I agree the hermit, if we can beat Clare tomorrow then I'm sure we'll be up against it in the new PUC.

Cork I think finally hit rock bottom in the first half of today's game against tipp and hopefully they'll start to rise again.

Ya right lads, let's call it here they barely got passed a second string Tipp team. Kerry will have 10 to 15 points to spare in the final.

Shocking lack of respect for Cork football around here, that county has done far more in the game than most of ye combined.

Can't believe I actually just stood up for Cork football, I feel dirty...

There's only 6 counties in Munster but I suppose that's the GAA's fault too!

Kerry Cork games always take on a life of there own, if there's one thing that'll motivate a cork player its the sight of a Kerry jersey .

What the hell is going on in Cork football, the first half display was shocking, no heart, no commitment. Second half they woke up and played but the problem Tipp had was they were on the ball too long while thinking what to do with it, that's what playing div 3 and 4 football does to you, it's a faster game in div 1 and 2, quicker thinking, Cork were quicker in the thought process in the second half

I don't know what you just watched. It was the opposite. Cork were so slow and let Tipp get back into defensive shape before delivering to the forward line and Tipp were the opposite and moved from Defence to attack a lot quicker, hence they should have been 9 or 10 points up at half time.

Second half Tipp seemed to run out of gas as I think the injuries in the squad caught up with them, however a bit of a cynical nature would have stopped the Cork goal develop. Otherwise, the division 3 team had far more shape and speed about their play, until they ran out of gas.

Cork have players capable of mixing with nearly all counties, however the board need to disappear and somebody with vision put a progressive management team in place. At the moment, this team are light years away from the tactical nous required to be a middling county team.

no my point is that just because cork make the final does not make them a good side. kerry will destroy them.

Kerry are capable of playing the game at a much higher intensity than Cork.

If they were to reach somewhere close to that level then Cork will get hammered.

They won't need to get to that level. They will play within themselves and still win.

Hammering Cork might not suit them. Winning by a few points might be better for them. I don't know.

I do know that the niceties being spoken from 'concerned' Kerry folk means it is no longer a real rivalry. It is more Wenger/Ferguson 2010 than Wenger/Ferguson 2004.

Pat Gilroy or James Horan would get that team into AIFs

Ya ya next you will tell me Cork are Favourites for the final. Kerry subs would beat this Cork team, it's sad to say but the fear factor is well and truly gone from Cork football.
If Mickey Quin didn't get injured for Tipp yesterday Tipp would of won that game handy. Even some of the Cork supporters after the game yesterday were saying they would of being better of loosing that game after that display and fear what Kerry will do to them.

Kerry need a strong Cork Benny, we all know our mutual success has always been built on the other pushing us every step of the way down south.
