Purley tongue in cheek, i was the worst manager for giving out during a game, he was just caught a couple of times out by the camera with some, not fit for tv language.

Hes done a fantasic job to turn around Cork... I said it on the league thread that i liked the way Cork were playing during the league and that some of the players looked in fine form, it was the last 10 minutes of their league games that let them down

dry surface hurlers with pace will always come good for the Championship and bar the sending off they would have (in my view) got to the final.. Plenty to work on but they wont be taken lightly next year

TBH I thought Waterford had gotten to grips with Nash's puckouts and had the better of most of the Cork forwards barring Horgan and the odd Lehane cameo and were about to kick on as the sending off occurred. Granted they were two points down when Cahalane got the line but I just felt that bit more experience would have seen Waterford home.
The sending off obviously made that a formality as Cork inexplicably went 5 on 5 in their own defence and weren't winning any of the physical battles up the other end,

Whats Galway's best team selection for the final, based on Waterfords gameplan?

Galway are fairly settled at this stage. I'd say the only debate will be whether to start Jason Flynn or Niall Burke. Even though he's a real confidence player I'd be tempted to start Flynn as he's often good for a goal or two. Nearly got one after he came on against Tipp. Plus Niall Burke always seems to play better off the bench.

Glynn to start on the bench too but I think he'll have a big part to play in the final. I was impressed with him after he came on against Tipp. Looks in much better shape than he was for the league final.

Austin Gleson won't win hurler of the year unlesshe scores 2-08 in the final on half a leg and even then not guaranteed. Barron is probably the front runner although there will be a few Galway players in with a shout.

Syferus, you said not fair on Galway that Gleeson is available however Galway were also sweating over Tuohy (although his offense wasn't as blatant)

For me the most iportant players to Waterford are Moran and Brick as their guile, experience and workrate kept Waterford in it for the first 35 minutes. They are the real leaders in that Waterord team and without them Waterford wouldn't be in the AI never mind winning it. I thought they were both excellent in their roles last week. McGrath must have done his damnedest to make sure they stayed involved. 

Final is 50/50 for me and the media will really play up the Canning v Gleeson duel.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. VinceLombardi

how many since??

Was that one sending off in a qualifier against Galway in 2002 (I forget who the player was)?  Dónalogue against Galway in 2008, Pa Cronin against Offaly in 2011 were just two who were sent off since 2008.

Was that the strike on the helmet? If it was, it was a bit harsh, but he was lucky to get it overturned too.

I think it was. Clumsy but reckless.

Too many, so put in for a draw which is fair enough and the club does a draw also, managed to get both last time, tickets do become available, but its the usual waiting game!
