I bet if it was Finbarr Murphy he'd probably give a spotter if Avondale were playing

he probably wouldn't know what to do, surprise, surprise.

the goal kick has to be retaken if the ball doesnt go outisde the box you see

Got ya! Sounds so simple now, but I thought it being the same player had some thing to do with it. Let's say we think the ball went out of the area in this instance, then the keeper kicked it again. What's the deal then? Free in or retake? Only asking as I've not seen either happen before and it was a talking point of sorts.

As it happens, I heard today what the ref's actual explanation was and it beggars belief.

If the ball goes out of the box and the goalkeeper plays it a second time it is an indirect freekick to the attacking team. I thought all you experts knew the laws of the game

Best of luck Sunday Clifford - set up an all-Cork final. The 'Hall are shaping up for a right good tussle, following their shaky spell - form re-discovered.

Any news on how the replay went?

Rockmount won 2-0 According to Aertel

Rockmount won 2-0 after extra time. Well done Clifford!!

Roll on 11 May, the 'Hall will be waiting, willing and ready. Should make for a great day.

Great to have another Cork final, I heard Wayside were a man down very early on, we'll have to wait for Cliffy for the full report.

Evening all, bit worse for wear tonight, but from what I can remember:

They had man sent off after about 15 mins, the first yellow could have been red. The second about two min later led to a red. Same tactic as in Dublin when they singled out Ken Hoey for unbelievable treatment. Ref in first game allowed it, ref today stood up to it. Delighted for Hoey to see him back fully fit after a terrible 12 months with injuries. The guy marking him will wake up in the middle of the night and scream as Kenneth flys past him yet again.

Anyway, game after the red was dominated by Mount without creating too many chances. Wayside threw all their eggs in the penalties basket never troubled Slatts. They got it to extra time, but in extra time the pressure told and Robbie Deasy glanced in a near post header to give Mount the lead and then just before half time in extra time he sent his brother Micky Deasy through to round the keeper and pull it back for Ross O Callaghan to roll home. Cruise control from there on in and happy days to be back in a final. It promises to be some final, bring it on is what I say - it'll deffo be one to remember.

Prays Mount win for me bet from earlier this season!! And for other obvious reasons!

i went out 2 the rockmount and wayside game in the first half wayside were the better team till they had a man sent off clifford ight the wayside guy could have been sent off for either tackle after that rockmount came more and more into the game and should have won it in 90 mintues alan weldon were darren doyle class jammer was very poor and was rightly taken off a few mintues into the 2nd half robbie deasy done well when he came on for him and got a very good goal.i can't wait for the final hopefully the weather is a lot better that yesterday c'mon the mount

Clifford, best of luck in the final! Travelled down to support wayside yesterday and as you can imagine they heart sunk a little after the sending off but in fairness I thought that wayside were the better side for the sixty minutes - the heavy pitch and numerical advantage started to take its toll and rockmount started to dominate. Always thought it would be a set piece to decide this one. Second goal had more than a suspicion of offside about it! I'm sure Rocmount were delighted to reach the final but the manner in which it was celebrated in eth dressing room afterwards was nothing more than disgraceful.. In my opinion, there is only one thing worse than a bad loser in sport and that is a bad winner! Again best of luck in the final!

Was at the game myself.
Wouldn't say Wayside were on top for sixty mins though. I thought Wayside controlled the first and were the dominate team and tried to push for opening goal. Rockmount were quite poor in the 1st half. Rockmount probably had the best chance when Beechiner made a great run onto a back pass.
Wayside looked quite a team with 11 but were reduced to 10 and I don’t think anyone would argue with the sending off.
Once the 2nd half started it was all Rockmount. The dominated most of the second half and all of extra time. I don't think Wayside created one chance
From what I heard the aftermath celebrations goes back to the previous encounter when Wayside beat Rockmount, it's all part of the game.

was at the final in both bray and turners cross , dont think the wayside players celebrated in the manner Rockmount did!
