In my view...

Only Kerry can beat Cork however a few other teams can beat Kerry. Tyrone or Kildare could rattle Kerry - not sure Dublin could.

I agree with you.
Right now, I'd imagine that Cork's sheer power and athleticism would prove too much for any team in the country bar Kerry.  I can't see Kerry entertaining any fear of their neighbours and I don't think Cork have the same degree of cuteness on the field or on the sideline.
I'd say a game between them would go down to the wire and I'd bet on Kerry to shade it. Injuries to key players on either side could be a big factor but, all things else being equal, I think Jack O'Connor a better tactician than Counihan and it's here the battle will be won or lost.
A few teams just might beat Kerry alright and I'd give an outside chance to the three you've mentioned. Dublin is the one I'd be least confident about because they've yet to prove that they have mental toughness when the stakes are high.

Cork 2/11
Mayo 5/1
Draw 11/1

(is it hurling?)

Double Result:
Cork/Cork 2/5
Mayo/Mayo 14/1

Bet of the weekned is you can get Mayo - 4 points at 22/1 (the paddy power site dosn't allow mayo to be a higher minus margin?).

Mayo by exactly 5 is 50/1 and exactly 6 is 66/1. A tenner on each allows odds of aggregate 30/1, this is another good one but you would be sickened if Mayo got a last minute point to win by 7.

p.s.
They are 80/1 to win by 7.

They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

What are the odds on Cork refusing to come after half time?

I presume you mean 'come out'? Low enough based on their hurling lads if you get my drift.... :D

Some great clips here from 1994-1996:

Easy to forget how good the likes of Linden, wee James, James Nallen, Geraghty, the Dubs of the early 1990s etc all were. Great scores in those clips.

In 09 Mayo would have won if Kilcoyne hadn't got injured. He was playing well but f**k it what's done is done. Meath wanted the win more in the last 15 minutes.

Jeez I stirred the pot there. I merely think that we got absolutely zero luck that day between two very bad calls - which cost us 6 points - and shipped a couple of injuries during the game. I agree that our heads dropped in the last 15 mins of that game which shouldn't have happened. However we should have won that game much more than the Longford game last yr or against Tyrone in '08 or pretty much any game in the last few yrs.

We also scored more than you.

That aimed at me? If I recall correctly, Mayo scored a goal but wasn't given that day.

I cannot see a good crowd going up from Mayo at all. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Oh a separate note, Noel O'leary's blood injury was caused by two boxes from Marty Clarke, not an elbow as I would have presumed, not picked up by the linesmen or TV3, fair enough the linemen but TV3 should have enough cameras there to catch this, would be worried about the cork backs laying into the mayo forwards with impunity if they can avoid the umpires and linesmen

Why was it not given?
If you were any use you'd be playing.
