Or what about some of the scottish redtops.

"Dooher oul game a Croker whin Cork canty beat red hans."

So lads come on lets get talking teams and not this childish nonsense.

Has there been any more injury worries over the weekend?
Did they have a training camp somewhere?

Is it just me or has this season flown by as it doesn't seem that long since the talk of SoN coming back for last years final?

I'm actually hoping Mickey makes a few radical changes for this game but wouldnt be surprised if he takes the high ground stance that his current team dont need to change for Cork. I'd say there has been a lot of talk about breaking ball and strict clean tackling without fouling.
I just hope we don't hear the term puke football again if we decide to let their MF win clean ball and then surround them.

I could not care less if we hear 'puke football' as long as we are in Croke Park for the final!

Haven't heard of any injuries over the weekend Fuzzman. I'm wondering what the latest is on Enda. I know Mickey was hopefully last week, but has there been any further development?

I'm looking forward to Thursday night. There has been a sort of formality this year when it has been coming to naming the starting 15 for the games, I think though that Mickey will be shaking it up a little for Sunday's game.

As for a craic Fuzzman, you must be getting old

agreed, although there is real potential for a megabehemoth stonker of a game. This game has so much potential and lets hope it fulifils it. This Cork team look ripe for a breakthrough, they dont carry any baggage against Tyrone although they might have against Meath or Kerry in the final. They will try to run at Tyrone and if they get through they will win the game, they will beat any team that lets them run. Tactically Tyrone are individuall and as a team more aware than any team left, I have concerns though on some pace levels this year, but some of these guys are much better footballers than their rivals despite the loss of a yard or two. I also have a greater belief that Harte will have this team at a much higher level than versus kildare, I think we might see a little puke on the day, but hopefully that will only be Donal Og up to cheer on his fellow picketline.

Thanks in advance

Heard that B beat the A's in cork in a hectic hard hitting match played at a frantic pace. There could well be changes in the Cork team. Also heard Eoin Cadogan is meant to be flying it in training.

heard the same before dublin played kerry. Always sceptical when I hear teams "flying" in training and when B teams beat A teams. Usually means the A team is off form and not going well. Cork are playing a force on sunday they've never faced before- no training session is going to help them on Sunday its a question of their mental state.

Lads try and get in early to give Armagh minors plenty of support.

Completely agree. We were in last time to give Donegal our support and we'll be doing the same for Armagh.

Indiana, you make a lot os sense. I will give my two cents on the game later in the week. Will go back and look at the Tyrone V Kildare game, I was at both q/finals but want to go back and see how Kildare overwhelmed Tyone in first half. First thought, Cork should get a lot more clean possession around the middle third, would be concerned about their full forward line not as clinical as Tyrone's.

My early thought is that Cork will squeak a win. Will elaborate later if I get time.

potential game of the year.i think cork have a great chance of winning sam dis year. ok maybe cork didn't maul limerick( with their all men behind the ball tatic) earliear this year but tyrone didn't destroy kildare either and in the donegal match cork racked up a good scoreline but u can only play whats in front of u. both of these top teams have not played each other in championship for a number of years. i can't wait to see if tyrone can cope with the cork forwards donncha o'connor daneil goulding paul kerrigan to name just a few. and can cork's backs hold tyrone's forwards i thinks so with players like canty lynch shields and miskella. i don't think it will be a sell out but cracking none the less .cork by 3points i'd say. kerry
want cork in the final cork would enjoy giving kerry some pay back for the final in 07

Tyrone have always coped since 2003 without having a midfield giant. Take the 2/3 big lads out of Cork and they are no bigger than most inter county teams. I think tyrone will do fine at midfield and the variety of systems they have will eventually bamboozle cork. I see tyrone winning by 5/6 points. Donegal still scored 2-10 playing poorly and michael murphy despite being marked by 3 players went to town on their full back line.
