Another superb semi-final win by Cork just like last year. Lets hope the final has a different outcome. Same number of titles, Christ I wont be able to take it if Kilkenny overtake us.
 
Wexford were very dead, feck knows why, they had a long time to prepare. Same happened to Waterford in the other semi.

I wouldn't back against Kilkenny at this stage to be honest. I'd say you may have to swallow the 'oul pride after the final Lynott. You'd never know though.
 
Rebels here, Rebels there, Rebels every fcuking where and we love you we love you we do........
We'll do them cats!
 
I hope cork beat Kilkenny and i reckon they will.
Kilkenny havnt impressed me at all this yr while cork walked all over us yesterday. I didnt see the game for obvious reasons but the scoreline suggests that Cork are on fire.

Sent to me earlier this year from a fellow Corkman......

A couple of people in work who I have a lot of respect for expressed some
concerns about the readiness of the Cork hurlers this year.
"Christ we have nothing, the lads aren't playing as a unit, Joe Deane has
lost all form, Timmy is very sluggish, we have no forwards, midfield is
still a huge problem, where will we play Diarmuid, we have no free taker"

My dear friends relax; enjoy the next few weeks and the long evenings.
Immerse yourself in all things Cork and feel good.

Have a stroll down the Mardyke, have a wander up to Shandon, even ring the
bells if you want to .

Have a lovely ramble down the Lee fields with the dogs and have a quart in
The Anglers Rest. Then drive down to Cloyne for a spin and say a few
prayers at Rings statue.

Drive to Allihies in West Cork some day, one of the most beautiful places on
the planet. It'll change your life.

Maybe pop into Moks pub on Bandon Rd some night and have a pint with Jimmy Barry Murphy. Just sit there, you don't have to say anything, he'll know
that you know.
Then run across to Lennox's for a cheese and onion pie and chips with peas
and curry

Start saying "me dazza" , and start asking for a glass of "raasa" in your local

Go to a road bowling match out in Blackpool, then walk back into town around
3pm, hopefully it'll piss rain. Grab a breast in a bun in HillBillies if you
get the munchies, then head to the Hi B for a lash of pints until you get
thrown out for reading the paper ?

Head into the English market on the way home Go to the old meat counters;
buy some offal, a couple of half heads, some liver, heart and kidneys. Make
sure you pick up a nice bit of hake and conger from O'Connells fish stall.

Buy a couple of stale skull loafs while you're there and stroll out of town,
you'll pass where Henry's once stood, up Barrack St, pass The Enterprise and
out Bandon Rd.
Pop into "Gallies" for a few cans and The Echo and head over to The Lough.

Be sure to bring your walkman, (not your discman ya snob) and play The
Stargazers, Gallagher, the Franks and Sultans while you feed bread to the
swans.

Hopefully there'll be soft sweet rain falling, the kind of rain you only get
in Cork on summer evenings and on the Friday before big hurling matches.
Drift off into a beautiful dream, a dream of balmy Sundays in Thurles,
singing De Banks with friends, family and loved ones ?


When you wake up, get your "mam" to collect you and make you tea and toast at home while you dry your jeans, monkey hat and parka jacket in front of the fire and talk all night about music and nights out and savage drinking
sessions and old games and the games to come.

You'll make a few calls to the lads on Saturday about arranging a lift and
who's bringing the sambos and tinnies.
You'll be nervous Saturday night so you'll get hammered and travel to the
game next day with a cruel hangover - nothing worse, nothing better.

You know Sunday will be sunny, they always are in Thurles and you'll meet
people you went to school with outside The County Bar and haven't seen for
15 years and they'll look the very same.
You'll meet some really quiet guy in work who you never knew was into Cork
and he'll be demented drunk with an old Barry's Tea jersey on him.
Some of them will be nervous but the real Cork "heads" expect to win, and win "handy like", even against verwhelming odds

Some will say, "era we haven't a chance this year. The papers are laughing
at us; we have no forwards or midfield, we choked last year."

But you know we have something, something indefinable.


You remember what JBM told you that night in Moks in May:

"You can never write us off. We are beautiful. We will be there when all
the others are long gone, we are forever baby, we are Cork.."

The new 'Hill' is going to be opened partially for the game. Actually the Hill should be fully opened I think, but the part that used to have the old Nally Stand will house a big screen. The capacity for the final will be 79,000 odd.
Should be class this weekend, have a good one.
 
Ye Rebels,ye beauties,ye dancers of the dance!!!!
Oh how sweet was that.
Rebels here,Rebels there, Rebels everyfcukinwhere and we love you, we love you, we do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
great result for Cork. I was surprised how easily they managed Kilkenny in the 2nd half.

btw: the minor game was great too. what happens there - do they replay that?
 
I watched the game in Ganleys pub at Morden Station (near Wimbledon). Great place with an excellent roast dinner.
'twas my first time there but hopefully not the last.
any of you lot ever been?
