Well. Who would have thought we be still in it?
Lookin for some Cork thoughts on this one.
Hello..........hello.......anyone from Cork?
Perhaps Hardy could give us the view from Leeside, seeing as he may have now committed himself to the Longford cause.
Just for the record it would seem we have only played Cork twice in the League in living memory.
Mid 80s and early 00s
Lost both down in Cork.
Be some craic if Longford win....... :)
Longford should spend the week developing an Iceland style 'huh' clap in case they win.

Brilliant - but hard to see it happening.............. ;D
As for Rossfan - I don't think a win for Longford would have the same seismic effect as last Sat has had. Cork won't care. They have no real support (not one poster here) it would seem and if they lose there will be a general "meh" down in Langerland.
I assume we will have 31 counties with us for this one. Kerry wouldn't support Cork now cos of Munster affiliation.....would they? ::)

The mood in Cork GAA is terrible at the moment - I know a couple of Cork GAA people and things are very bad there - it's getting to the stage you'd almost be reluctant to mention anything about the GAA with them - there's very little faith in the football management team's ability and the latest I've heard is the dark humour joke that the footballers were hoping to have Cuthbert reappointed when Healy goes. - That was after the Tipp game where the selections and tactics got a lot of criticism. Reading the reports on the Limerick game I'd expect a lot of high ball into Kelleher in attack. Cork don't seem to have a lot in midfield - if Alan O'Connor isn't in great shape the next day with the quick turnaround because he was out injured for almost a year I could see Longford get joy there, especially as he is a big leader on the pitch. The keeper position is one where there has been a lot of chopping and changing and Longford definitely might get a return out of putting the Cork kickouts under pressure.
Limerick scored 0-10 against the Cork defence, which considering they scored 2-6 against Antrim and 0-13 against Clare and got a total of 4-73(85 points) in 7 league games (an average of 12 points) would lead me to believe the Cork defence isn't that secure, especially when you remember Tipp's score of 3-15 [Tipp's highest total of the year despite being in Division 3] The 2-12 Cork scored sounds decent but Limerick conceded 11-87 in the league (average of 17 points) against Division 3 opposition
Limerick,Clare, and Sligo are the only 3 teams the Cork footballers have beaten in this and the last 2 championships.
Connerton should force the Longford lads to watch the Connacht final and remind his lads that Roscommon scored 4-25 against Cork in the league.
I've been keeping an eye on Cork as regards betting especially after the bookies had the handicap versus Limerick as +11 - only went for small stakes as felt Limerick couldn't be relied on after a poor league. For this game it's +4 which is more of quandry.
Great to have home advantage, surely worth a few points rather than being in Mullingar like Kildare game last year.
Don't think Longford have anything to fear whatsoever form Cork, seem to be in somewhat of a transitional phase, we have nothing to lose so bring it on!
Is the throw in 3pm or 5pm ......Gaa.ie has a 3pm start
http://www.gaa.ie/news/this-weekend-and-next-weekend-inter-county-fixture-guide/
I think Longford could well beat cork with the momentum they have.
Now 3pm throw in.
Cork may be looking at train timetables........ :P

I suppose they have a stadium to pay for and can't afford the overnight in the Longford Arms
Two of their hurlers - Aidan Walsh and Alan Cadogan - have rejoined the football panel for this. Walsh is a former Young Footballer of the Year. Cadogan was a handy footballer at U21. However, it's hard to see them having much of an impact, if they haven't so much as kicked a football in a couple of years.

Someone sent me on this link below.
Says a lot about where Cork GAA is at the moment
http://captiongenerator.com/97450/Laughing-man-gives-his-verdict-on-Cork-GAA
In this the centenary of 1916 , isn't it fitting that Micheal Collins (Ck) is reacquainted with Kitty Kiernan (LD). The magic of the qualifiers it seems only a handful really grab an opportunity to go on a run people actually remember. Despite some significant wins against supposedly superior opposition we have only once gone to Round 4 , that being the infamous trip to Kilarney or the rise of Donaghy game. And no we didn't give Kerry that close of a game.
So the rebels it is , without confidence without support without management of anything close to senior inter county standard They Are Still Cork & I believe if we pull this one off it will be our greatest success since the back door was introduced.
i can't wait but 5/1 with BV is too big to miss. Lump on.....

Would never trust my hard earned dinari on Longford. Tis only 12 months since Kildare hommered us and 24 months since Tipp did the same.
That said, has there ever been a better time, in theory, to be playing Cork? But, like a wounded animal, they may come out fighting tooth and nail.
Light the candles lads, light the candles. Would love a round 4 joust with Leinster final certain losers (i.e. Westmeath). I think the other choice would be the Ulster losers ( :'( )
2,300 tickets sold already 8)
Feck sake it's a shame it will look awful on the highlighrs on the telly cos of the empty stands. All the crowd will be behind the cameras, more or less.
All the limited seating is gone so it's standing room only.
Weather looks grand.
Cork have named the same 15 as started against Limerick.
1. Ryan Price (O'Donovan Rossa)
2. Colm O'Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)
3. Eoin Cadogan (Douglas)
4. Noel Galvin (Ballincollig)
5. Tomas Clancy (Fermoy)
6. James Loughrey (Mallow)

Longford +4 at 11/10 is very tempting

No doubt they do not have the commentary rights for this game, so RTÉ are not allowed just "go to it". If you don't agree with this then perhaps tell the GAA.

They don't have the rights and needless to say can only give summary updates!

Score anyone?
Cork 2-9 Longford 1-6 FT
Cork have not gone away and will be an awkward fixture for some team in the latter rounds. They always have the footballers. Question is do they have the desire?
Ah well. Second half showing killed us. Cork took ages to settle but did when they brought on some old timers.
No disgrace. Disappointed to end up with only 13 men
Only 1-6 for Longford today. Did Longford run out of steam or did Cork play defensive?
We ran out of steam really. Only 2 pts in second half. Wind was a factor but same wind was there in first half so no excuses.
Cork won't set world alight
Good man Shamrock. I was in Salzburg the other day and was in Hellbrunn Palace. They have a globe there dating from the 17th century. The only towns in Ireland on it are Longford, Dublin and Kynfak, which I assume is Cork. I took a photo and I'll WhatsApp it to you later.

Kinsale?
Exactly! Thanks for that.

No mention of Belfast. Willie Frazer will go mad when he finds out
Hard not to feel disappointed with the outcome and our lack of ability to get back on top at some stage of the second half. Even if we had left Robbie Smyth higher up the pitch rather than Kavanagh for that period we had a chance but the middle 3rd belonged to Cork and we couldn't handle their subs at all. We should have been 6 to 9 points in front going in at the break, they should've been down to 14 at half time also.
