The move to midfield has really benefited him. Been one of our best players the past two seasons. When he first broke into the senior team as a forward I wasn’t sure was he going to cut it but has really stepped upHe is good, and always was.

What counts is the number of provincial finalists that are lower in the league than us..if we lose to Kerry.. one in Munster for certain..probably Clare..high chance of one in Leinster as the standard is so bad..unlikely in Connacht and Ulster but not unheard of..if 3 out of 4 happens are we out?If that's your idea of straightforward fair play, I'd like to see what you consider convoluted
I understand the thought @Norrback, but ...if we lose to Kerry..
True…try not to fall into that trap but there I did..distracted by the permutationsI understand the thought @Norrback, but ...
Limerick aren't coming to the Pairc for a Tailteann Cup warmup - they are coming to the Pairc to shove that down our throats and beat us. First thing is to overcome them.
My apologies for calling you out on it @Norrback. It took everything we had to get over them in the Pairc two years ago. Imagine you are a Limerick footballer - the Limerick hurlers get all the attention - you're a fully committed guy and you have a chance to take Cork down, and especially motivating given all the chat about the supposed Cork-Kerry match in Killarney. Limerick footballers have my massive respect - we have to beat these guys.True…try not to fall into that trap but there I did..distracted by the permutations
No it's not the same actually. If Limerick beat us, then they earn a chance to beat Kerry - if they do then the chances of us getting bumped to Tailteann increase dramatically. We have to send these guys to the Tailteann.Actually situation is the same anyway whether beaten by Limerick/Kerry..you don’t make a provincial final and your league position matters..either way won’t be making Killarney plans until after the Limerick match if at all
We are currently 13th given Meath automatically qualify. For us to be knocked out apart from Limerick beating both us and Kerry is Sligo or Leitrim to beat Galway. Galway not going great but surely would beat either of those.What counts is the number of provincial finalists that are lower in the league than us..if we lose to Kerry.. one in Munster for certain..probably Clare..high chance of one in Leinster as the standard is so bad..unlikely in Connacht and Ulster but not unheard of..if 3 out of 4 happens are we out?
I don't see how the chances of Cork being consigned to the Tailteann increase dramatically if Limerick win. Surely they would increase only marginally, since in that scenario Kerry would be overwhelming favourites to beat them? Everything else which is relevant (Cork's league position, results from other provinces) would be exactly the same.My apologies for calling you out on it @Norrback.
