AI Football Final 2010: An Corcaigh vs An Dún

[ross4life]

Another deflated cup celebrations thanks Cooney

Clarke is some player, Down will be back next year

[sammymaguire]

best team won in the end, Cork done another job on Down like they did on the Dubs

[Bogball XV]

O'Connor MOTM

has to be, player of the year - not a chance.

Down just not good enough, cleaned out in the middle of the field for the second half.  Cork did well in the end, but jaysus it took them a while to get going.  Better bench wins it again.

Pretty shite match I thought. Down had nothing in the second half and got absolutely cleaned out in midfield for the majority of the game.

RTE was out so was forced to endure:

Mark Sidebottom repeatedly referring to Nicholas Murphy as Graham Canty

Peter Canavan being an absolute knob

Martin McHugh giving out about McKernan being penalised a 45, eve though he readily admits it was a penalty. Generally saying Down have reason to be upset with the referee. My hole.

Congrats Cork.

I think watching the game on BBC made a huge difference to your opinion. I watched it on BBC as I had no choice and the atmosphere seemed awful. Interesting that most down south thought it was a cracker.

Well done to Cork. They certainly gave a great 2nd half. I didnt think they'd do it but they tore into Down when they had to in the 2nd half. They do have a great bench to empty and Counihan made good use of it. Good to see Sam will be residing next door to us for the next 12 months.

Thank f**k for that, Cork clearly the better team though I thought they were going to blow it.

I flicked between the two - atmosphere was miles better on RTÉ - the sound was totally muted on BBC.

[comethekingdom]

McHugh on BBC crying that Cork havent beat Kerry! - what a bollix.!!

[INDIANA]

it was a good game. It certainly wasn't a cracker.

[ardchieftain]

Really enjoyed that game. Glad Cork showed their true colours in the 2nd half. Marty Clarke is some player though, he will be a legend.
Would usually cheer on the Ulster county but i cheered on my wager instead.
And it's an anti climax without the supporters on the pitch.

Maybe. In fairness it was wet and slippy which didn't make it seem such a good spectacle.

Despite being woeful in the first half Cork still had plenty of the ball and were able to turn it into scores in the second.

I don't think Down will be at the top table too long but hopefully making the final can inspire them next year and make Ulster a bit more competitive.

[Throw ball]

Hard luck to Down although I think Cork deserved it. Seems a bit dull without the pitch invasion.

[gallsman]

McHugh now talking shite about Down wearing the yellow jerseys. He was on about it before the match as well.

BBC is a joke.

[ardmhachaabu]

"Down don't lose All Ireland Finals." RIP.
Fair f**ks to Cork. They had nothing in the first half but they had the bench.

To the bit in bold all I have to say is hahahahahahahaha

I know, I am being an annoying ****, can't help it, hope MCMLX sees it
