All-Ireland SFC Quarter Final Mayo v Cork

[Blowitupref]

This will be a lot closer game than most expect, Cork are missing some key players & Mayo off the back of their Connacht success will be in no mood to just make up the numbers.

I think Cork will win a tight game however i have a feeling a lot of the Mayo fans will have a lot of ifs buts & maybes after the game.

I think Cork will win a tight game

The only tight thing about this game will be the hould Cadigan will have of his opponents geansai (and other things)

Not sure if this is it. Not so sure about Nicholas Murphy has ha a long running back problem. Otherwise as expected.

Is my memory deceiving me or did he play there in one of the International Rules tests in 2002?

Cork are certainly down to the bare bones in the forward division if they have to play Nicholas Murphy in the forward line.

Shur imitation is the best form of flattery. Take a bow Moynihan and Mike Mac.

[Chris agus Snoop]

Murphy knocked the ball down to colm oNeil to win the penalty against the dubs last year. I think he could do huge damage laying it off to kerrigan running thru, also will take the Mayo focus off Donnacha who's bound to get some special treatment given his form.

[ross matt]

Genuine best wishes Mayo. Keep the Connacht flame burning. This Mayo side have improved in every match this season and have learnt how to win ugly. They have yet to hit top form. Horan will have them set up in such a way Cork wont just run though them. If Mcgarrity can be sprung early Mayo might sneak this one. They are very composed and organised plus alot physically stronger than people realise. Cork with the recent run of injuries may struggle to get scores.

Caff and Varley in from the start. Ronaldo on the bench...

I like that selection; it's the best one Horan can field.
The days of chopping and changing are over and thank God for that.
I think the two changes he has made since the last game are justified and he is fielding the most settled side available to him.
I'd be happier if we had McGar and Conoreen fit and rarin' to go but that's only "If me auntie...." stuff.
Bring on the langers and we'll take our chances!

[sans pessimism]

Murphy's ongoing back problems  is directly related to Dara o Shea's knee problems(if he has knee problems-he should have,he used them often enough!!!!!)

[ross4life]

Cork are certainly down to the bare bones in the forward division if they have to play Nicholas Murphy in the forward line.

Hint Hint

Maybe but i don't see the point of playing a three man midfield in this game. The Cork heads reckon come throw in Murphy won't start & Fiachra Lynch will instead.

From today's De Paper

The serious strain that has been put on Cork's attacking resources by a succession of recent injuries has been reflected in the selection of Murphy at full-forward. A recognised midfielder over the last decade, Murphy has endured his own injury travails in recent seasons and has not started a championship game for Cork since the 2009 All-Ireland final defeat to Kerry. His injury struggles have persisted and fitness problems may yet cause the Cork management to reconsider his selection before throw-in against Mayo on Sunday. In that eventuality, Fiachra Lynch would be in pole position for inclusion from the off.
