Amateur stuff from Cork- 2 breaches.

Football IQ non existent.

The hurlers were the main hope this year.

Full time Mayo 0-23 Cork 0-18.  Much the better team won, Cork shooting efficiency woeful.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

This has been criminally inept and abject from Cork.

OakLeaf

The better team won but both were poor enough.

They have good footballers though just make terrible decisions

Angus MacGyver

Martin McNally excellent referee performance. He let good tackles happen and didnt reward lads looking for frees.
Conor Lane tale note.

Great to see an 18 yo and 19yo whacking points in Croker. Mayo good value.

Hope Kerry using the same rifle scope as Cork men today

Andy Moran had defence clued in for Sherlock in 2nd half,  rarely got off shot without someone breathing down hos neck

twohands!!!

Horrific performance by Cork.

Mayo got the win but I'd say a lot of teams wouldn't mind meeting them in the semi-final especially given how many shooting chances they gave Cork.

Precisely this. Tallest midget etc.

Nobody will be overly scared of Mayo after that. They do have the players and capacity to catch fire though.

Main Street

Mayo's wholesome persistent tackling hardly gave an inch to the Cork attack.

cavanmaniac

Between wides, turnovers and generally butchered attacks, Cork left a swipe of scores behind them there today. As only Cork can do, they pull out some huge wins to make it to this stage and then play like a team that had no business being there in the first place.

SouthOfThe Bann

Both teams poor but the big Difference between the teams is Mayo now have forwards.

Something their all ireland final losing teams didnt have.

19 points from their FF line.

They will have a chance in every game they play with that return.

Aaron Boone

Cork do have an exceptional minor team so plenty of hard work going on in the football areas.
