Is it MAYO'S year? Hopefully Galway can do the same as Cork and pull of a shock next weekend.

This will open up the championship to no end. What a horrific game; but Cork kept going amidst clear fatigue; Kerry will be sick. Cruel game. Good old fashioned Cork, never ever write them off!

I said Cork could win it and I was mocked, Cork are like mushrooms they can pop up over night where are those fellas now?

Cork still on for the double.

Hon the rebels.

The biggest championship shock in years or was it in hindsight? Cork has got themselves together the last year or two and have significant underage success the last couple of years. Yes Kerry have great potential and almost caught Dublin last year; but apart from a small number have little seasoned campaigners in the senior inter county game which will obviously come with time.

Of course the conditions wouldn't have suited their type of player and they missed chances but I'd put that down more to the hits and pressure on them.

Cork football needs to stop living in fear of Kerry; Cork are more than capable of competing and beating them; like the 2011 All Ireland final this result might just give a new type of Cork player the confidence to kick on and start competing at the level they should be. Well Done Cork; a great result for the Munster and All Ireland championship. I'm sure there'll be some smirks in weaker counties/lower divisions tonight after what was said this week about their attitude towards the championship.

Great, great result... We are miles better than the 4-20 to 3-09 v Roscommon. We are miles better than the 2015 Munster Final (when James Donoghue scored 0-12). We are miles better than the qualifier hammering against Kildare in Thurles. We are not a Division 3 side. The last few years (upto 2019) have been very very tough. Ultra bleak. Tonight is brilliant though. We badly needed that!!!

Kerry tactics were all wrong, they played the game that Cork wanted, pat spillain got his puke football. Clifford was not at his best dispite his wonder point. Maybe the weight of Captain was two much for a young lad.

Congrats to Cork from a very disappointed Kerryman. We knew Cork were coming but was hoping it was nt today.

What a finish! I was really looking forward to a Kerry Dublin showdown this year but that was something else!

Absolutely well done cork. Unbelievable. Not the last top team to be beat this year hopefully.
How about a traditional cork v Meath all ire final ??

Unbelievable finish. Well done to cork. While it was a bad game generally speaking I think this is a great advert for knockout football, the excitement at the end was thrilling.

Some of the Kerry players will not like watching that game back, a total misfire on every level, Cork wanted it more too. Much work to do for Kerry but today belongs to Cork. This is quite a young Cork team, could we be seeing a change of order in Munster?

Best of luck to Cork and Tipperary in the final.

Well done to Cork. Hung in there and got their rewards. Can't understand Kerry playing defensively with the attacking talent they have. Clifford showed tonight that he's a good footballer, just a good footballer mind you and not yet the great footballer that some make him out to be.
Interesting to hear comments from some Kerry supporters on another platform saying that it's Dublins All Ireland now. Kingdom arrogance at its best. Well done again Cork but be wary of Tipp. Should be a good Munster Final.

Very sporting Kingdomboy. Is it Dublin's title now? Great win by Cork. Kerry disappointing, never put Cork away.
