[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 7425661, member: 28532"] "Slight favourites Galway" not "raging hot favourites" as you claim. And put in context of the Munster Final where at 4:1 we were allegedly only going up to see Tipp lift the cup it's a nonsense that Cork's victory against Galway (who'd never beaten us in a Final before) was "very unexpected" It was a game of two halves. And I don't think anyone doubted Cork were the better team over the 70+ minutes - certainly never heard anyone (apart from you) claiming that Galway were robbed - even in a sporting sense. I work with a Galway hurling nut and while he loves rubbing our noses in Cork's current long famine and the fact that Galway won only a few years ago, even he never ever suggested Galway were robbed in 1990. Interesting that you think scoreline back then were lower than what they are now relevant given that that one was a particularly high scoring All Ireland Final - with both teams over the 70 going for a shoot out rather than a cagey game. The scoreline was 5-15 to 2-21. That combined score equivalent of 57 points is more than the 2022, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015 etc finals even though it was from a different era. Don't bother reading someone's match report you can see it here again [MEDIA=youtube]TEkrDX00bRg[/MEDIA] and realise Galway weren't robbed at all, no matter how you try to dress it up. Watch the game. Try to enjoy it. And realise that Galway weren't robbed at all even in a sporting sense, they were beaten by a better team on the day. It happens. [/QUOTE]
