******** 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.

We have 6 forwards that can score and also half backs. We don't have the weak links in the full back line that we had either, namely Derek Kavanagh at full back and Kieran O'Connor at corner back. 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

Never in doubt, only one winner of Sam this year,

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.
