I think Tyrone will beat Dublin in the replay. They have a bit more in reserve, possibly an extra 10 minutes of Peter Canavan, Owen Mulligan at last coming into real form and Stephen O�Neill can he possibly miss as many sitters next time?
Armagh to spring an ambush in the semi final.
Cork played well against Kerry in the Munster final, (did the camera pick out Roy Keane in the crowd?) but I think Kerry can play better than that day and beat them again.

The final ..... depends on the day :-)

Tyrone to beat Dublin in the replay and get revenge against Armagh. Kerry to beat Cork easily and win the final against a knackered Tyrone team playing about their fiftieth game of the season.

Kilkenny to get past Galway and to beat Cork handily - Cork not playing as well as they did last year, should have been beaten by both Waterford and Clare. Kilkenny have the killer instinct that the Munster teams don't have.

Lads this is going to be the year of the Rebels. cork to do the double. The hurlers will play much better in the final and the footballers are going to get revenge over Kerry. COME ON THE REBELS!

When was the last time Cork did the double?
Who was the last team to do the double and when?

Mon the Rebels

Was it Galway? could have been Offaly. Ah you will have to give me a hint.

**geysir** · 17/08/2005, 12:33 AM

I was thinking that Armagh were just having it nice and easy until the semi final, but I see they are due to meet Laois in the quarter final this w/end.
Don't you think its about time the Ulster champions get a bye into the semi's?

1990. Cork beat Galway 5-15 to 2-21 in hurling and Meath 0-11 and 0-9 in football.

Double has not been done since.

**drinkfeckarse** · 17/08/2005, 8:04 AM

Anyone know the odds on a Cork double lads and what dates these games are on?

You could be onto something. Watching the semi-final now at the time of writing and the Maroons are matching the Black and Amber score for score
With an hour gone in the Game Galway are leading Kilkenny 5-17 to 4-13

**bigmac** · 21/08/2005, 4:01 PM

you'd have to fancy Galway really after today. The last good game Cork played was the munster final. haven't been playing well since then at all. Who was that muppet who said that Cork and KK were miles ahead of any other team. If Galway tighten up their defence a bit they could absolutely destroy Cork. O'Sullivan will be badly caught for pace in the back line.

**CollegeTillIDie** · 21/08/2005, 4:01 PM

Final Score Galway 5-18 Kilkenny 4-18. What a classic Hurling game.
Galway to win Liam McCarthy hopefully now.

**FarBeag** · 21/08/2005, 10:06 PM

Lad's that was some game but will Galway ever play that well again.I hope they beat Cork but i wont belive it until i see it,always being pessimistic
when it comes to Galway winning anything.Common the Tribesmen.

**Green Tribe** · 21/08/2005, 11:52 PM

Forza Galway!!!!!

**A face** · 21/08/2005, 11:56 PM

Probably biased but i think Cork will do it !!

**Eire06** · 22/08/2005, 8:35 AM

What a great match yesterday.. everyone writing Galway off in the lead up to the match even talking about the Kilkenny line up for the final

.. And then to see them all backtrack

I always had faith they'd do it

bring on coraigh and we'll show them just like we showed Kilkenny what real hurling is about

**Aberdonian Stu** · 22/08/2005, 11:18 AM

I would like to see Galway win but they face a different defensive prospect in Cork and the Rebels have a lot to prove after a stutteringh performance against Clare. My prediction...a narrow Cork win.

**Conor H** · 22/08/2005, 1:51 PM

Hopefully Galway will do it.The city always goes mad when we win an All Ireland.

**Galwayexile** · 22/08/2005, 2:28 PM

galway can indeed win if they sharpen up in defence. Great win all the same especially with so many young players in the team. The bookies had KK at 1/4 on to win and galway 11/4 to win.

Bring on Cork.After reading some of the comments from the site www.boards.ie some muppets think that cork have it wrapped up.

Maybe now this will stop the doubters who say we miss eugene scumbag cloonen, long live ger farragher, great game and a smashing talent.
