And AFS, is dropping your knees onto a fella, now all of a sudden 'stamping'?  Or are you refering to a different incident?

He isn't.  Didn't happen. 

But if there are questions being put to MOR, ask him is he proud of himself after his display Sunday.  Did he really need to dig fellas full force into the back (ala Ciaran Whelan, and the Dublin #3, last weekend in Parnell Park)?  Cowardly acts.

Macker, I'd appreciate it if you ceased with the false accusations, regarding Cork players spitting in Armagh faces.  Thanks.

Wait till ya see in a few years he'll have his autobiography ghostwritten by a journo and then he will be expecting them all at a launch night!

You'd like to think! 

This book will never be written.  Pity, because it would be a great read.  But it's not Billy's way.

No, I understand it's your opinion, but I'm just wondering what it would take to change your opinion?  If Cork win by 10 points, would Cork then supersede Kerry as top, most skillfull team, in the country.  Or is your mind set?

Or, if Cork hold Kerry scoreless for the entire game, when would you concede that this Cork team are good too?  And not dismiss them as having come from the 'easy side of the draw'.

So if Cork hammer Kerry, are they the best team then.  By what margin do Cork have to win, for you to consider them the better team? 

But if Cork win, are they not the best team in the country?

kerry mike, cork may only have scored 2 points that day, but we still only lost by 3, so it doesnt say much for ye either, does it?

re. your question timmy:

dermot hurley showed on saturday that he is definately worth his inclusion in the panel.  will surely lose out to the midfield pairing of nicholas and derek kavanagh, come championship though.  i would've faulted him previously for poor distribution, but i can't recall any of his kick passes going astray the other night.  i was impressed with how he glued himself to Sean Cavanagh.  Remember him at one stage when the ball was breaking around midfield, how when a tyrone fella eventually won posession, and Dermot straight away turned, found sean cavanagh, and sprinted around 50 yards to be at his side.  (all the lazy cork yokes, living 10 minutes from pairc ui rinn, watching on tele, wouldn't have seen any of that)  He tracked goal side of Sean all the time, not allowing him make his trade mark bursts forward, setting up play.

Kevin O'Sullivan, if he plays consistently, couldn't be far off it.  lost his place last year after an off day v limerick.

[Can not kick with the right.]

Masters likes to be handed the ball. Neither having the physique or the speed to win his own ball. When he gets it, if he is given an inch on his left he can swing it over from the right hand corner flag. Can not kick with the right. Entrusted with the free taking, he can have good days but 45s are outside his range.

james did take a nice point from play, off his right.

yes this was one cork had to win, with relegation looming and all that.  plus after the bollicking they got in the dressing room following the kerry game, each one of them was out to prove a point.

with all the talk of tyrone being down in numbers, missing brian mcguigan, brian dooher, ryan mcmeniman, &Co......there's no mention that cork are in a similar boat.  no nicholas murphy (MF - flu), graham canty (FB - not yet back from cruciate), alan quirke (G - still on crutches after keyhole surgery)........all all-star nominees last year, with nicholas obviously getting the midfield spot.........pearse o'neill (CF/MF - broke bone in hand in last outing v kerry), add to that, the injured pair of fintan gould and john hayes, and david niblock away in the states, and you've a fair chunk of last years starting 15 missing!

agh cusack are you a langer my friend?

yes.  i was one of the few rebels in omagh this time last year.  presume ye'll bring a bigger crew to pairc ui rinn?

try The Orchard on Ballinlough Rd, or Silver Key on top of Ballinlough Rd (near Cork Con.)
