Kerry V Cork 2pm Killarney

[larryin89]

It appears Armagh refereeing is just as poor as their footballers.

Would love it if the footballers only made one or two bad decisions in a game.

Are you PH or a relative. EVerybody makes a mistake. No doubting that.
Can you deny that even when he is a linesman that he is on on the field to the ref more than any other linesman.
My personal opinion is that I hate when the ref or the linesman becomes the story.

You obviously have a personal beef with this referee. We all have refs we do not like particularly. For me that is Joe McQuillan. Others complain about Marty Duffy etc.. A general view of the match today will show most decisions were unbiased and correct.

Ahh for crying out loud man will you and the rest ever see the bigger picture, Kerry have a special ride with a lot of officials a lot of the time.My best example today , Sheehan lashed out three times whilst the ref was inbetween the cork player and Sheehan , he seen it , watched it and didn't give him a yellow .

Still nobody has ever answere the very simple question as regards Shane enright last year against Mayo , Reilly gave a penalty for a drag down to the ground , how on earth can you explain how a card wasn't given. You can't , it's f ooking Kerry and they can do what they want.

Donaghy never bloody stops with the aggressive verbals to umpires, refs and linesmen , yet he doesn't give a fook , he is doing it years without punishment.

While I see were you are coming from about Kerry - Armagh suffered in the 2006 quarter final when Coldrick was referee - I do not believe referees set out deliberately to favour Kerry. With Eoin Cadigan on the Cork team he could easily have been seen to favour Cork. Cadigan helped out Armagh hurlers - and Crossmaglen footballers I believe - this year.

Jez, Donaghy is a dose alright with the complaining and arm waving. O'Donoghue is not far behind him. Did the player who (in the eyes of the Ref) took O'Donoghue down get a Card? If not why not? Shades of Cafferkey in the semi last year!

God,

listening to marty squad, that Brenda whoever she is one patronizing clown.
fu*k me. Where does RTE unearth these people from.
she sounds like some Dublin(no offense to dublin folk) bird who came down the country to interview people fifty years ago.  terrible

Yer wan Brenda is from Kildare, hardly a football county.

True, the Geezer would never get to Manage a Football power!

Go suck on your one All-Ireland.

It's a game Cork should have won comfortably, they were in too for 3/4's of the game. I'd like to think this will give them confidence for the ends day as opposed to 'they've missed their chance'.

Interesting to see Kerrigan play where he did, he stared well and his black card clearly affected Cork for the rest of he half. I'd put Donaghy's goal down to a lack of experience from Cronin, he should have passed it to Kerrigan and not to Shields who had his back to Buckey. I thought Cadogan was superb on Donaghy's as was most of the Cork team, only Hurley dissapointed. I don't think there's 70 minutes in D O'Connor, he looked very tired 10 minutes before he came off. Alan O'Connor was my man of the match, he dominated the second half long before Moran's black card.

Amazing how Cork have become s weak county that refereeing decisions go against. I did not think a penalty but only after second viewing. That said I thought Geaney was fouled twice in the 67 min chance he shot wide. Cork player ran into him and then accidentally tripped him but Geaney ploughed through both fouls like a bullock. Very enjoyable game and will be great to see the replay.

[highorlow]

The penalty was not a penalty but Cork will look back at this and be more sick at the chances they wasted. They were f**king the ball about on the half forward line and not making any positive decisive runs. The match was there for the taking in the last ten minutes and they didn't grab the chance, they played too conservatively.

The Cork goalie must not be able to take a deadball kick without the 'T'. We had a similar chance to win in Limerick with a long range free and didn't take it. I think tactically a short kick is the only option in those last minute situations unless you have an 80% man taking the kick with the missed 20% at least going dead. A deadball there and Kerry were left with no choice but to go for a short kick out which would likely have been stifled.

Cork won't win the next time.

[larryin89]

Kerry have Ye all fooled , they're not as good as people make them out to be at all. Cork will win the replay.

[yellowcard]

Don't buy this nonsense that Cork missed the boat. The bottom line is that they were the better team today and but for a bad decision they would be Munster champions today. Cork showed bottle today that I doubted if they had before the game and I think they still have a good chance in the replay given the fact that the they will feel they were majorly wronged today and have to go back to Kerry's home pitch again for the replay. I'd still favour Kerry slightly but wouldn't be writing off Cork again as much based on today's match.

[Main Street]

Why can't they do the replay in Thurles?
