A repeat of the 2013 All Ireland Semi Final. How do people see this going? Cork will obviously be favourites, but do people give Dublin a chance? One thing is for certain, Dublin will need to start strong and hurl well from minute one to minute seventy. We cannot wait till the 50th minute to start hurling like we did at the weekend against KK. Anyway, really looking forward to this one. Ill go Dubs by 1 ;) ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 02/11/2020 11:43:25 2304325 Link

Cork look way off the pace, like they'd written the year off and then were suddenly told to play. Too many talented forwards that are coasting through the motions when the game is in the melting pot. Cork need a performance from cadogan and Harnedy. Meade has to start. BaldyBadger (Cork) - Posts: 311 - 02/11/2020 11:57:31 2304343 Link

Granted we haven't beaten you in championship hurling since 1927, i think you lot are favourites to be fair. ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 02/11/2020 12:56:30 2304382 Link
Most of the players from 1927 have retired now so that match doesn't have any significance. If any of those Cork players were around they would probably be in with a shout of playing. Once you get on that Cork team it is near on impossible to get dropped. There is no evidence that even ONE player will get dropped from panel. Number should be higher. No player from our county championship winning side. 3 forwards from a club knocked out in last 16. Player form is irrelevance in Cork. Farcical set up. Going no where this year or any time soon. Dublin will be warm favourites. I will would expect Tipp or Wexford to comfortably beat the winners bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 02/11/2020 13:50:57 2304413 Link

No competition here in this draw...... Cork and Clare to win easily. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2207 - 02/11/2020 15:58:26 2304473 Link
I'd be expecting Clare to win handy and cork to get over Dublin,even though I'd love to see s dubs win..;the problem Mattie Kenny has he doesn't know his best starting 15..cork were awful at weekend,certainly need s few new faces because some are just not good enough.however if cork do win next weekend they'll be s danger for tipp or Wexford..I'm wondering to how no player from blackrock good enough to start..think it's time goalkeeper was changed,can't figure how cahalane makes starting team and same with Joyce...where is o mahonys best position?where does Cooper play if good enough?can Downey fill centreback?who are the best 6 forwards to start?can all that be sorted in seven days?i also think a manager should never go back..people will say it worked for tipp with sheedy but he has o Shea and tommie dunne with him..

If Mattie Kenny doesn't know his best 15 after playing Kilkenny he may as well pack it in. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 02/11/2020 17:57:07 2304538 Link
Replying To keeper7: "If Mattie Kenny doesn't know his best 15 after playing Kilkenny he may as well pack it in." Exactly, their panel isn't that good so it's easy enough to pick the starting 15! 3 weekends in a row and also not in the cushy surroundings of Croke Park, I reckon Cork will blow them to the moon in Semple Stadium katser (Galway) - Posts: 2207 - 02/11/2020 18:26:23 2304551 Link
An example is surely Eamon Dillon,every time I see him he impressese..yet Kenny can't seem to find a reason to start him...Dillon also scores on a regular basis... CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2219 - 02/11/2020 19:56:08 2304592 Link
Replying To CTGAA10: "An example is surely Eamon Dillon,every time I see him he impressese..yet Kenny can't seem to find a reason to start him...Dillon also scores on a regular basis..." I guess if you had a tight game & were able to throw Dillon into the fray with 15/20 minutes left it could potentially be a masterstroke. I think I'd prefer Dillon to start & have Rushe or Schutte in reserve. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 02/11/2020 21:42:04 2304627 Link
Clare to beat Laois. Cork might just get past Dublin, but it won't be easy. Important game for Cork. MicktheMiller (Offaly) - Posts: 421 - 02/11/2020 21:49:40 2304630 Link

If Dublin start the team they finished with I can see no reason why they cant win this. Hard to know where Cork player's heads will be after their insipid display so on that basis I'll go for Dublin to win by 3 points.

Cork wont play as poorly again. Cork by 4. lilylanger (Kildare) - Posts: 758 - 03/11/2020 07:51:08 2304672 Link
Replying To keeper7: "I guess if you had a tight game & were able to throw Dillon into the fray with 15/20 minutes left it could potentially be a masterstroke. I think I'd prefer Dillon to start & have Rushe or Schutte in reserve." Dillon needs to start. Period. Its all well and good bringing him on to change the game, but what if its too late. We need our best to start. This isn't the Dublin football team where we can afford to leave better players on the bench in order to see a game out in the last 20 mins. In the hurling we just want to make sure we are still in the game at that stage, and the best way of ensuring that is starting with your best players. Dillon is our mot dangerous forward. Its a no brainer, he HAS to start!! ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 03/11/2020 08:55:50 2304679 Link

Are Dublin as good as their comeback v the Cats or as bad as their first half performance. Are Cork as poor as they were v the Deise. I don't think so on all counts. I think we l see a more stable Dublin and an improved Cork and it has the makings of a right good game. For me though Cork to win. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3676 - 07/11/2020 12:10:33 2305781 Link
