Waterford will want this more. Lost last 2 semis, beaten by Cork already and Galway waiting for a memorable final. Cork to wait for another year. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 10/08/2017 19:51:58 2032133 Link
They are expecting all the seating tickets to sell out for this. With a good crowd on hill 16 i'd expect 75k+ at this. Should b a cracker. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 10/08/2017 20:07:08 2032138 Link
Replying To ZUL10: "Waterford will want this more. Lost last 2 semis, beaten by Cork already and Galway waiting for a memorable final. Cork to wait for another year." http://www.hoganstand.com/Forum/MessagePage.aspx?PageNumber=0&TopicID=101468 ill refer you to this very thread in regards to a team who "wants " it more or whatever...these players are basically professional athletes... From the dublin footballers to the leitrim hurlers any player representing their county want to win each game and dedicate a large percentage of their lives to this goal...the fact that waterford have played here and have lost twice in the last two years should and will have no bearing on this game..it will all come down to the team best prepared and whoever performs on the day as i'm 100% sure the hunger to win is absolutely equal on both sides,as it should be..its an all ireland semi final to say one team wants it more than the other is rediculous pidge (Cork) - Posts: 543 - 11/08/2017 19:26:50 2032442 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "I would love it love it if Waterford win Sunday, I can't help it I'll always have a soft spot for the Waterford senior hurling team from Big Dan to Maurice to Mullane (i's love my county) to Austin Glesson (potentially the greatest hurler of all time) I just love something about Waterford hurling team. Also I've seen Cork win All Ireland's a good few times in my lift time I've never seen Waterford or Galway win so it would be great to see new winners this year." Hold on, this went 6 days without someone challenging that Austin Gleeson is potentially the greatest hurler ever! That had to be a joke right? bronxirish (USA) - Posts: 17 - 11/08/2017 21:13:58 2032461 Link
Will Waterford really start Kieran Bennett??? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 12/08/2017 00:49:44 2032506 Link
This could go either way. Waterford will be hungrier but Cork have gained back that belief. It's hard to know whether the KK match showed waterford as being mentally weak or strong but I think if Cork are within touching distance with ten minutes left then waterford will fold. Waterford are better suited to chasing a game. I guess Fives will take up the De Búrca role and Bennett will play as an orthodox wing back. If he does start, it will be a baptism of fire against that cork half forward line. Can't see anything other than a Cork victory here but I wouldn't begrudge waterford if they got on up on us, would make for an incredible final. hurlinspuds (Cork) - Posts: 1494 - 12/08/2017 10:57:29 2032551 Link

Could go either way but you can't see anything other than a Cork victory.That doesn't quite add up. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2156 - 12/08/2017 12:30:42 2032572 Link
Replying To endgame: "Could go either way but you can't see anything other than a Cork victory.That doesn't quite add up." I think Cork will win but wouldn't be blown away with surprise if Waterford were to do it. Like most hurling AI semi finals. Simples. hurlinspuds (Cork) - Posts: 1494 - 12/08/2017 13:51:36 2032583 Link

Replying To Canuck: "What ever way it goes hopefully it is good game. Though neighbourly rivals its is a respectful one, both players and fans. Prediction that it will not reassembly the msf in anyway and Waterford to win comfortable." I see it differently; a comfortable win for Cork.

Another helmet interfearance...bloody clown yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 13/08/2017 16:22:48 2032777 Link
Austin Gleeson grab the face mask and pulled the helmet off. Should miss Waterfords miss match if the rules are implemented fairly. lowandhard (Galway) - Posts: 33 - 13/08/2017 16:29:01 2032778 Link
Officiating is shocking with so many mistakes. The helmet incident is going to be interesting. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 13/08/2017 16:37:20 2032779 Link
Gleeson is some clown. If they win he's almost guaranteed to be suspended. Agree with the rule or not it was blatant and the rule and sanction are clear. And is not like he can claim he didn't know the rule. Touhy for away with it coz the way the helmet was pushed off u couldn't be sure it was deliberate. He was lucky. Gleeson gripped the bars. Not a chance of getting off. You would have to question the mentality of players that do that. Putting team at risk for nothing. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1826 - 13/08/2017 16:41:18 2032780 Link
And now a moment of absolute stupidity by Conor Gleason to get himself sent off when the game was already wrapped up. Unbelievable. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 13/08/2017 17:01:25 2032783 Link
