Cork V Mayo - What odds on a draw?

[Mayo4Sam]

Great day in cork yesterday, weather was fantastic & the day was brightened up no end by Feeneys fan club down the river end.
Cork weren't at the races today at all.
Thought AOS was MOTM, cleaned out 2 men, tormented them. Thought Vaughan did v well & caff had a fine game. There's no way i'd let peadar back in the team. Was v disappointed in Conor, his runs were pathetic, token efforts and more getting in the way than anything else. In contrast to Ronaldo who was busting a gut to make runs, he wouldn't make my championship 15.
What really worries me is that we have no place kicker, it switches between Dillon, mort, varley. Cld one of them not spend an hour a day kicking frees a la Maurice Sheridan, practice makes perfect and all that.
Think the criticism of parsons was a bit harsh, I didn't think he had a stinker.

Enjoyed the few pints in cork last nite & was nice to be able to say a 5 pt win when people asked how the match went

and
they played in the wrong studs and the grass was too long the sun was shining too bright so couldn't see mayo in the white shirts
yada yada yada

I hope JOM is a bit more self-critical than yourself, there is nothing wrong with acknowledging the fact your opponents were understrength and that this has to be considered when evaluating your own performance. In saying that it was still a very good win for Mayo and they seem to be coming along nicely, still the league final will tell us more.

For the next day O Shea willl probably be marked by either   Cadogan or Canty.

Did we miss something?

Just a bunch of kids that had a big Feeney flag, Feeney is fantastic or something and were quite cheery, did plenty of shouting and even had a cheer for the MacDanger and myself when we came in

that was written in response to a long whinge of excuses . mayo Easily  beat the cork team that put out last sunday . what more could they do?
if Cork don't have enough respect for themselves their fans or the competition to even try .they should have warned people to keep their money in their pockets and saved a lot of people a lot of time. including My 8 year old Corkonian Nephew at His 1st GAA game . will some one please think of the children.
Cork were pathetic as soon as they went a few points down they even the crap team they pick stopped trying and made the whole day fell like an A V B match in a county with 15 good players. 
I know the game has No bearing on the league final but please spare us the Excuses
Most worrying for mayo i see some on reckons Cafferkey had a good game despite the fact the he again failed to catch a single ball first time and was marked absent any time cork ran on the mayo goal in the 1st half. This is a disaster waiting to happen let just hope its not in Croker.

Vaughan was  born in Cork but the family moved to Ballinrobe a few years ago (not sure how long ago). I wouldn't say he was bred in Cork though... he played underage for Mayo

Just listened to this Mayo News podcast of Mike Finnerty talking to Donie Vaughan after the match on Sunday.

Finnerty mentioned that it must be nice to come down to the county of his birth and win. Got to love Vaughan's reply, paraphrasing a well known Cork man:
"Cork by birth, Mayo by the grace of God"
