Munster Final 2011

[Dinny Breen]

If there is not at least 5 mins exta time I'll scream...

[haze]

Should be at least 6 minutes injury time

[Capt Pat]

Kerry win by 3. Cork would have won if that goal went in.

Credit where it's due Coldrick reffed that reasonably well! Donaghy should probably have been sent off but the linesman gave him bad information.

I fancy Kerry to win this by 2-3 pts

Reading back this man was spot on. Cork gave themselves to much to do with that first half performance. Cork should have no problem getting through the back door we might get to see another Cork v Kerry All Ireland final.

What a relief! Poor second half by us but neverthless experience showed. Fairplay to Brosnan with that point towards the end. when Cork started to run at Kerry we were in trouble.

Some play acting by the Kerry boys the whole 2nd half. I counted 4 times in a row where they went down injured from a free. I wonder what Spillane will say?? He talked about 'puke' football previously. At least Tyrone were trying to play football. All Kerry were doing was stopping the game and not playing football. Very cute obviously and it probably won them the game but I'm not listening to RTE talking about a great spectacle and football at its best when it clearly wasn't.

Coldrick is a poor excuse for a IC referee. How many times did he throw the ball up? 10?? Very bad sign of a ref.

Was it really that bad though, an awful Hollywood from O'Leary I thought.

[Dinny Breen]

Kerry really felt the lack of squad dept in that 2nd half. Would fancy Cork and Dublin later in the year as they seem to have stronger squads.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Kerry will have Tomás Ó Sé and Galvin back for August. Hard to imagine Cooper being as quiet again either.

It wasn't as bad as O'Leary made out, but isn't a kick a kick, just like a strike is a strike, regardless of force, in terms of a red card?

We're crying for out common sense and I thought common sense prevailed in this instance.

Gooch's handbags in injury time killed Corks momentum.Cork were the better team in the second half and I still feel we'll win the All Ireland.Just hope now we don't get Kildare in the qualifiers.

Yes Cork could repeat last year by coming through the qualifiers to win the All Ireland. They have a nice rest now compared to the Ulster or Connacht loser.

How is that a sign of a bad ref?
I thought he contributed to a very good game today, particularly with his handling of the first ten minutes, letting a few good hits go and not giving in to Donncha O'Connor looking for a soft free/penalty. Thank God someone finally gave more than 2 minutes of injury time as well, though most of it was wasted.
We can't keep laying into referees every week.
