Munster Final 2011

[Kerry Mike]

It the Kingdom of Kerry against the Langers from the Lee next Sunday in Killarney, the 36 time winners against Munster's 2nd best team with a credible but laughable 7 titles. Am really looking forward to this. I am expecting a close game with plenty of decent scores and football. Lets just hope we don't get some ape of a referee who is going to make a bollix of another game this summer.

Refs making for a whole lot of headlines today alone. Let's hope that this game escapes unscathed but given that both of these teams will push the limits, there could well be some fall out.

[CorkMan]

Second best team! You have to be joking. You're setting yourself up for a big fall if kerry lose. Cork to win by 4 or 5 points 

[Blowitupref]

David Goldrick will be the Ref. i fancy Kerry to win this by 2-3 pts

Whats the predictions?

Head would say Cork if they play near their current potential might sneak it by the odd point, but If Kerry could somehow scramble enough possession to keep the supply to the forward line going it could be close....Its a cliché at this stage but I think these 2 will prove on sunday why they are the 2 main contenders for Sam....

3rd page? I can't be looking down that far! I assume the mods or someone can integrate the threads or whatever.

Is Killarney the most scenic county ground in the country? I love the view of the reeks.

[Kerry Mike]

Kerry team out tomorrow night , don't expect Galvin to start given his recent hamstring and Seamus Scanlon looks like being out for a longer spell. Tomas O'Se is suspended so we will need ball winners around the middle of the field, still enough quality in Kerry to take the game to Cork and we will hopefully do that. Should be a cracking game.

Two sides that canceled each other out last Year. Scores were at a premium, but in the end Kerry shaded it.

I do believe the reason Cork won last Year's All-Ireland was due to Down knocking out Kerry and Dublin knocking out Tyrone. Cork can beat the Kingdom at any ground that isn't Croke Park.

[Kerry Mike]

Cork can beat the Kingdom at any ground that isn't Croke Park or Killarney, 16 years since they won there. And that will be a factor on Sunday.

The more I think about it the more I think Cork will sneak it on Sunday. This should be a more intense affair than the usual shadow boxing you get between the two in Munster. Cork will see victory here as an important physiological boost ahead of a near inevitable meeting later on in Croke Park. The Kingdom won't want to lose that Killarney record but without O Sé, Galvin probably not starting and issues in midfield and defense I think one of them records will go. Looking forward to a cracking game.

[lynchbhoy]

Kerry have the better forward division imo
but with Galvin out and a dodgy midfield and weakest backs section since I can remember, Kerry couldnt be expected to win imo.

look forward to it though.
