We'll probably hit every tolled motorway in the country on the way down.... but sure it'll be worth it

Cork nearly lost the Munster final last year to Limerick. They obviously were a little complacent and Limerick really got in their faces and stopped them making those famous bursting powerful runs from deep. That is a video that Tommy Carr should look at and base a plan of action around. They say this is the best time to get a team like Cork, its only a pity it is down there. God be with the days when the "weak" county got home advantage until the GAA did away with that rule (remember we lost in extra time to Derry in Derry years ago, well amazingly Derry were supposedly the weak team in that draw against us and so got home draw).
We will need to play a 2 man FF line of Mackey and Johnson, Nesty on the 45 and everyone else behind the ball. Short kick outs and kicks to the wings will be needed cos sticking high ball into Corks midfield diamond will be suicide. f**k it the lads showed some balls last day, the pressure is off and no one expects anything so why not give it a shot, bust a gut and see what happens.

The worst thing about this draw is the distance. Who would have been a god draw?

The plus point is that we are not playing neighbours (a dogfight) or  a Northern team (familiarity and a dogfight).

If we wanted the players to be motivated how can you not be motivated playing last year's finalist?

It will be a good benchmark for the player to see what level they have to achieve if they want to give it a good rattle next year.


So onward go our destiny!

Jesus talk about David and Goliath and that time is a joke for fans looking to travel. It should have been earlier than that..Unless I make a weekend of it

Not out supporting the club today PIU?

I was working in Dublin BooJ. Injuries and old age have caught up with my playing days  I hear the goals were the difference.
