Counihan wrote his own resingation speech in his interview just there. When are people going to realise the game has changed.
His own quote "with 10 minutes to go I told them to calm down" Is that all he could come up with looking at his team running around aimlessly? I'll be honest I was never a fan of his and begrudgingly acknowledged his ability to get the team fit but as a Manager he is desperate. If you cant think on your feet in Croke Park you can forget about winning a tight game. At least Cork did not let down the Holy Trinity of Gambling for all Irish people |

Looking forward to seeing Donegal bringing the fav.,to Croker v Dublin, if its Mayo suir they can play it any Friday night in Sligo,or Tuam
Ref was ok and surprised me, should get the final after that |
|
By:
Well I'd rather Cork lose to Donegal than Dublin in the final so not all bad

Last year Donegal were turgid and grinded their way to a semi final, the system is much the same only this year they play with a lot more flair and attacking intent, their 2nd half display was reminiscent of Tyrone at their peak without the forwards stars that Tyrone possessed, attacked with numbers that Cork simply couldn't cope with.
Unless either Dublin or Mayo produce something out of this world next week its hard to picture anything other than a Donegal All Ireland victory, if Dublin win the bookies might offer very tempting odds on Donegal?. |
|
By:
donegal will start favs regardless of the semi-final result
|
|
By:
I'm sure they will cup, but they won't be prohibitive odds as the bookies are inclined to overrate the dubs.

ah lust,typical attitude of a cork man
 pathetic!i honestly taught counihan would direct his players to hang back,conserve energy,shoot on sight from 40 yards and probe into the full foward line when the opportunity arises.but you have to hand it to jim macguinness ,a gentleman,has an absolute passion for the game and its obvious to me his players would go through a wall for him,i think he deserves this. |

I backed Cork but i have to say that performance by Donegal was the best i have seen since Tyrone beat Kerry in the semi final 10 years ago. Cork were forced into going sideways and backwards the same way Kerry were 10 years ago.
I cant see Donegal winning multiple all irelands with this style of play as its hard to see them having the same motivation if they win one as its a style based on an immense work ethic and collective spirit rather than individual brilliance. I think they will win whoever they meet in the final this year. I doubt there has ever been a gaelic team in such physical condition as this Donegal side. In terms of fitness and phsyical conditioning it was like watching a professional team of athletes against an amateur team today. |

4/6 Donegal
2/1 The Dubs 6/1 Mayo bits of 7s Have Donegal ever been favs for Sam before ? I Fancy Dubs for back to back All-Irelands Cork were very poor,a few heads dropped early, In fairness G Canty and Nick Murphy have given great service but past it now,forwards in general were poor......... |

I am not proud of myself for deserting them KingRat and it only came after 30 years of heartbreak. I used to go to League games and everything and was a moderately successful footballer in my day so football is my primary game.
It is one thing to lose to Kerry every year and be brought up on a diet of it (particularly hard for me being from North Cork) but to lose almost every time there is expectation of winning became too much (I guess not unlike how the Mayo fans feel) I know what it is from and that is from being brought up on a lifetime of success from the hurlers. Comparatively speaking with 90% of other footballing Counties Cork footballers have been wildly successful but I accept it is a failing on my part. There have been 2 periods of my life when the Cork Footballers were on top of Kerry, the late 80s and mid to late 90's. Even then when Cork won their 3 recent All Irelands they found ways to lose to Kerry and to a lesser degree Dublin. I'll stick with the hurlers who by and large perform as expected. I don't think I have been to a football match since Tompkins retired (as a player that is)where I knew for certain how Cork would play. I stopped going to Football matches in 2003 and have not regretted it since (not even after the lucky win against Down 2 years ago |

Just read Jackos assessment in Sunday Times of the outcome of this match today ( with the benefit of hindsight ) . Normally I respect Jackos opinion , but nearly every point he made about the match was turned on its head .
Seriously overestimated the prowess of the Cork team , maybe because they beat Kerry , attributing powers to some of their players I was unaware of . The Down team they beat in 2010 was very average , and some people on here called it a lucky victory . Donegal have upped their game since last year when they would have bored you to death , not sure what they have done , but it works in football terms , and they have been good to watch . Think it could be a cracking final , no matter who provide the opposition . |
