Is it the same in other clubs?

of course ya'll have to pay.

Every county board gets a certain amount of tickets which is then allocated amongst all clubs, so every GAA club in the country has access to some tickets ( at least 4 or 5) which is usually raffled off to members who put their name forward.

Ya there has, quite a few actually, more honest players too. He's a dirty little **** and should have walked on more then one occasion this year, if he was rightly sent off against us in the Leinster semi, then KK could well be sitting on a ''3 in a row-all out''...... ability wise though he's a good player and could play any position really bar FB or FF.

He WASN'T over the line for the second goal, that was my immediate reaction at the time, coupled with a possible push from his resulting clearance, i went back and re-watched the clip several times on the RTE website, the ball wasn't over(if it was it was marginal) but there was a blatant push by one of the KK forwards on the Tipp back as he was about to catch the ball, that put him on his arse and left buckets of space for KK to progress into for an easy second goal.

Cody came out this week hitting back at analyst's and the media for stating his team were dirty, saying it was a vendetta, and singled out Walsh for praise after he suffered a ''witch hunt'' from the media.
.............It's true though, (although i wouldn't call them dirty in the sense that they'd try take a player out of the game) they consistently foul, yet there players don't receive reds for persistent fouling, this has to change, they kill off many goal chances by fouling yet receive no cards.

Dig out the stats for free's for and against in KK's games this year, i'd be surprised if in any game they had more free's then their opponents.

Against us in the semi they fouled, time and time again, killing off a number of goal chances. The Dubs kept in touch through McCrabbe's free taking from what i remember. I missed most of the Waterford game so couldn't comment there, and i think the numbers were(in or around) 18/8 in favour of Tipp in the final

Good article by Colm O'Rourke about this here

Decent article alright. I like O'Rourke anyway, his views are balanced and he's not interested in the shock factor that Spillane and Brolly engage in.

Not really but he talks a lot of sh1te all the same. Im not too gone on any GAA commentator to be honest, they change their opinions more often than a hoor changes her knickers. Every pre match speak is about a team being past their best and over-hyped etc etc, generally only for them to eat their words at the end. They are full of even more soundbites than in soccer.

you obviously don't watch much of el tel & co on itv or super sundays on sky with jamie. Aside from giles/dunphy & co, soccer punditry is fairly dire.
In defence of sky/itv, even they wouldn't stoop to inflicting ger canning on theior viewers.

Thats said, alot of the pundits on Sunday game are of the wallpaper variety - needed to fill the gaps but very bland. O'Rourke one of the better ones.

As a Corkman I concur, and incredibly balanced as well for a Kerryman.

The nerves are settin in now. Too many bad experiences of Kerry in Croke Park to take anything for granted. Think we'll need goals to win it, something like 2-12 should be enough.

Well I backed Cork at 8/1 in May, so obviously I'm hoping that they do it. Gonna back Kerry to win between 1-5 now to try and cover my bet.

******** anyway - Cork didn't show up on the day.

They can't expect to win when they hit that many wides.

The game was there for the taking with the start that Cork had.

Donncha O'Connor was pretty much flying the flag on his own in 07 in the scoring stakes with Masters never really a man for the big day, plus he had a broken jaw. O'Neill and Goulding are huge scoring threats in the full forward line and Kerrigan and Kelly are playing well in the half forwards, none of those players started the 07 final. You could be right in that it might be the same old story, but there's no question but that there's more to be optimistic about.

Umberside and Delorean, dream on

Were there any Kerry fans at the ground today?!

Kerry defended well and capitalised on Cork's poor display in front of goal. Cork looked lost out there and lacked leadership on the field.

I hope the GAA instruct refs to start flashing yellows for any player who kicks the ball away when a free is awarded to the opposition. It drove me insane today.

What are you on about? My posts were balanced and I didn't once predict a Cork win. I just stated they had a much better chance than previous years as they have improved a lot. A blind man could see that is the case. They were very poor the last day, mainly because Kerry got their tactics right, but they were still in the game for the most part. A tiny bit less wasteful and there'd have been nothing in it on the scoreboard.

T Kennelly

Has T Kennelly done a R Keane by writing his book and telling what he planned to do to a Cork player in the final?
What action if any will GAA take?
