[Rossfan]

Better not buy any tickets from Prenty and co. in Smellyhaunis 
€10 Commission !!!!!
I presume they were Semi Final prices she was quoting you.
Better wait till we bate Cork first

Getting ready to eat humble pie as Roscommon will do better than Cavan did against Cork.

Do it for us.

[Chris agus Snoop]

Cadogan has commited to the hurlers until they get beaten. Shields will probably mark Shine, Canty will be wing back.

Correct Chris, sorry. I should have said Shields. Who will play centre back if Canty is on the wing?

Kissane probably. If Miskella is fit he'll start instead of Noel


Pa Kelly was tried on frees during the league and did OK, they'll stick with him I think. If Roscommon have to foul, don't do it on Gouldings side he's kicking well.

I think Roscommon was the last side to beat Cork in championship other than Kerry, in 2004.

[ross4life]

Conor Counihan has managed cork in 16 championship matches so far..only 3 defeats all to Kerry

His First match in charge of Cork was v us in Kiltoom (league game) & if he gets beaten by us on Sunday it will be his last game!

Fermanagh beat cork in 2004

By Japers lads, Zulu will have every bit of delph smashed in the house if he hears what Joe Brolly just said about Cork on the Sunday Game. "If Tyrone are purveyors of smart football, Cork are purveyors of dumb football," and so forth and so on.

I'd have to admit there is truth in what he is saying. I do expect Cork to win this with a bit to spare but I can't see them beat the winners of Tyrone/Dub and Kerry (probably) in the final anymore. I'll stick with them but some of teh things they do on the pitch has me asking questions about them and the management. I hope Roscommon do well but I think Cork are the type of team that can really put weaker teams to the sword. Roscommon are developing but I don't think they are anything more than a division 3 team at the moment and Cork, in CP, have too much size and power for teams of that standard.

Thats quite a swing in opinion regarding a team improving every game? What kind of things are making you ask questions?

[Zulu]

The Limerick game, in terms of the result, hasn't changed my opinion of Cork. I always thought that it would be a tough, close game but I feel Counihan isn't picking the best team or hasn't them playing the type of football that suits them best. IMO Cork are too slow to transfer the ball from one end of the field to the other and with the forwards they have got that is not the way to go.

I'll still put my money on cork to win the AI but I don't think they are developing as much as I thought they would and I think Counihan may be the problem.

Cork defence and midfield fine . Forwards are the problem. Not sure what the solution is . All very fine players but just not clicking as a unit. Just feel that there are still not sure of the first 15 and a result the guys that are playing are afraid of being taken off . They may be trying too hard and doing things as individuals rather than as  a team.
The conditions for Cavan and Wexford were woeful so they were hard to judge. Felt they looked tired against Limerick but it was a 6 day turnover and thats hard.

[tyrone86]

Rossies unchanged:

Geoffrey Claffey, Sean McDermott, Peter Domican (cpt), Stephen Ormsby, Sean Purcell, Cathal Dineen, David Casey, Michael Finneran, Karol Mannion, David Keenan, David O'Gara, Cathal Cregg, John Rogers, Donal Shine, Ger Heneghan.

Miskella is a massive loss to the team when he's not playing, really drives them on. If I was Counihan I'd give O'Neill the 13 jersey this Sunday, ridiculous having a citeog playing left full forward... I think they have to start Nicholas Walsh as well, if they don't return to last year's form on Sun they'll be caught in the semis...
