TOMORROW EVENING WITNESSES the resumption of an age-old rivalry in Ireland.
You see, we don’t really have that whole East Coast-West Coast beef. But that’s okay, because the Capital-People’s Republic tension has always been much more serious anyway.
There is no end to the bickering and the cliched ‘bragging rights’ doesn’t go halfway to describing the torture one city will inflict upon the other when victory is theirs.
So, come full-time tomorrow, we will finally have a definitive answer (for at least seven days) to this baker’s dozen of hot, hot topics.
You can be born anywhere, it’s where you are reared that matters. Rory Gallagher was reared in Cork and developed his love of music in that city. That fact he was born in Donegal is wholly irrelevant.
If Bernard Brogan plays well tomorrow, the Dubs shall win. If he does not, our young forwards shall struggle against the tall, fit and ready to play dirty Corkonians.
This is a major test for the young Dub cubs. The likes of Kilkenny, Andrews, Rock, Paul Mannion.
I remember the 2010 semi final loss to our Cork cousins. I was living abroad and watched it in a bar full of Corkies. We threw it away. A hard loss to watch. Ditto with the league final loss in 2011.
But, this is a very different Dublin team. Hopefully the bottler tag gets thrown into the battle bank.
Guinness is watery shite. And this isn’t a myth. Diageo actually add extra water to the stuff. If they put as much effort into the drink itself as they put into the marketing of it, they might have a decent stout.
@Lump – I’m from Cork and I or no one I know hates the Dubs. We go for matches and concerts and have a great craic. You can’t speak for a whole county. Just enjoy the game for what it is! Daycent.
Three years ago called. Wants its topic of conversation back. ROG may have had a better kicking percentage while their careers overlapped but remember when ROG took over from Humphreys. He couldn’t kick pi*s off a rope.
West Waterford would dispute that, Ireland’s only Michelin star Hotel/restaurant, The Cliff House in Ardmore + The Tannery, Nude Food, Merry’s & Co in Dungarvan.
Beamish is best in the South of the city and Murphys in the North. We also produce Shandon Stout. Never heard of “the berries”. Red FM is sh’ite, Shed FM much better (Radio Friendly for nostalgia) – but at least Red FM’s main anchor didn’t have a wank on the plane. Jack Lynch tunnel is free and was built first. Poor Phil Lynnot was tormented by racism and heroin, the Sultans were just mad.
BTW Cork airport is much better than Dublin: 5 minutes from check in to gate.
Ok well on a football front it would seem to me that cork are coming up against a Dublin team bang on form were as Cork have struggled to put in a good 20 min in any game. This Cork side fails to live up to their undoubted talent but put a Dublin team in front of them and hand them the under dog tag and that might just be the ticket
Ah now. Cork women will know how to look after ya. That’s one flaw with the auld dubs. The birds’ll never make you tea / a sambo on demand. I can still hear it. “Do you want a posh tayto sandwich… And what about some noooodles?” – “yes please… Does that come with tea? Barry’s? No Lyon’s? Ok then” J1s man. The business
Some Corkonians are like the Brits when it comes to claiming those that aren’t their own, Rory was born in Donegal as stated earlier, check it out man :-)

4 euro a pint vs 7 euro a pint
True but you’re paying for the company
I think all of us taxpayers are paying for the ‘company’ in quinns ciaran..
Try McSorleys
You were going well until the last one .Sultans of ping shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as Thin Lizzy.
Why put the sultans with Lizzy, sacrilege.
Why not Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy?
Because Rory’s from Ballyshannon Co. Donegal Jamie
You can be born anywhere, it’s where you are reared that matters. Rory Gallagher was reared in Cork and developed his love of music in that city. That fact he was born in Donegal is wholly irrelevant.
Also buried in Ballincollig, Cork.
How could this be settled tomorrow, they play again with sticks!
Eh rog wins one anyway
If Bernard Brogan plays well tomorrow, the Dubs shall win. If he does not, our young forwards shall struggle against the tall, fit and ready to play dirty Corkonians.
This is a major test for the young Dub cubs. The likes of Kilkenny, Andrews, Rock, Paul Mannion.

But, this is a very different Dublin team. Hopefully the bottler tag gets thrown into the battle bank.
Up the Dubs!
Please Dublin beat these jealous bitter parasites tomorrow….
Cork people truly hate dubs… Hopefully we give them another reason tomorrow night
Sounding a bit bitter there yerself lump..
Along with the rest of Ireland who hate the dubs
Sad jealous fools
Angry chap.
Everyone hates the fecking Dubs
Yeah because you want what you can’t have!
Dublin is the ONLY city in Ireland, while you Stone Age people are stuck with you’re depressing country life
Game set & match Lump Hammer
Well we don’t in Kerry, we are just as happy to beat Cork every year as much as Dublin :p
Reply fail ! Sorry
your
I don’t hate the Dubs & most people I know in Waterford don’t either. In fact everybody I know is hoping for a Dublin V Limerick hurling final.
What u smoking???
E’s off a pipe, what are you smoking?
Murphy’s is great. Wouldn’t use anything else to clean the jacks.
Don’t forget the Beamish…we make two stouts down here don’t ya know.:)
Neither holds a candle to the true drink
Dungarvan Brewing Company’s Black Rock is where the future lies when it comes to stout :)
Guinness is watery shite. And this isn’t a myth. Diageo actually add extra water to the stuff. If they put as much effort into the drink itself as they put into the marketing of it, they might have a decent stout.
I dunno….Ive drank a lot of Murphys and it never leaves the toilet too clean!
Guinness was first brewed in england . Check. Murphys is the real deal .
@Lump – I’m from Cork and I or no one I know hates the Dubs. We go for matches and concerts and have a great craic. You can’t speak for a whole county. Just enjoy the game for what it is! Daycent.
I get on very well with people from Cork. Seriously I do because they think the sun shines out of their arse too.
ROG the legend V a dumb looking choking gimp… Only one winner there I’m afraid!
Three years ago called. Wants its topic of conversation back. ROG may have had a better kicking percentage while their careers overlapped but remember when ROG took over from Humphreys. He couldn’t kick pi*s off a rope.
The man from Dublin or the man from San Diego California?
rog couldnt tackle for shit!!!
Cork supporters: beware, last train out of Heuston at 8pm tomorrow. Driver’s strike.
Sure what harm, just being a spare cork jersey for coppers tomorrow night..
Keane . Barry’s. And definitely beoires . FCK the rest
Lyons ya eejit ya ! :p
I’ll teabag you ya bowser
According to R.T.E. Cork wants to be the food capital of Ireland. They are getting really desperate now !
West Cork already is the food capital you mong.
West Waterford would dispute that, Ireland’s only Michelin star Hotel/restaurant, The Cliff House in Ardmore + The Tannery, Nude Food, Merry’s & Co in Dungarvan.
Beamish is best in the South of the city and Murphys in the North. We also produce Shandon Stout. Never heard of “the berries”.

Poor Phil Lynnot was tormented by racism and heroin, the Sultans were just mad.
BTW Cork airport is much better than Dublin: 5 minutes from check in to gate.
I don’t care what anyone says, I’m there and I cannot wait. GO ON THE DUBS!!!!!!
Sir Henrys V La Mirage
Henrys was daycintttt baiiiiii
Keane is a nacker
Murphys is on sale in cork only
Red fm is a poor clone of 104
Coppers is king
Barry’s tea is Protestant tea
Beoir is actually a tipp saying
Bleeding massive is ………bleeding massive
Mr.brennans is the best thing since , well slice bread
The jack lynch tunnel is a flood plain
There’s no such thing as “wrights of kinsale”
English market?? ………ill say no more
Sexton obviously , o gara never started a lions text never mind 3
Thin Lizzy and who ???????

I bought murphys in dublin last week and is guiness not protestant stout na?
A breast in a bun plzkthxbai!
In fairness to Dublin – it would be a beautiful City (perhaps up there with Cork) if it wasn’t full of Dubs
If this goes to Extra Time hopefully Cork have made alternative transport arrangements as we don’t want a repeat of this
http://youtu.be/dfbes7S26kE
Sultans of Ping v Thin Lizzy wtf like??????
Ok well on a football front it would seem to me that cork are coming up against a Dublin team bang on form were as Cork have struggled to put in a good 20 min in any game. This Cork side fails to live up to their undoubted talent but put a Dublin team in front of them and hand them the under dog tag and that might just be the ticket
The women! Nuff said, cya ya next year maybe, Cork :-P
Ah now. Cork women will know how to look after ya. That’s one flaw with the auld dubs. The birds’ll never make you tea / a sambo on demand. I can still hear it. “Do you want a posh tayto sandwich… And what about some noooodles?” – “yes please… Does that come with tea? Barry’s? No Lyon’s? Ok then” J1s man. The business
O’Gara v Sexton no contest, jonny every day
And you’re sports mad!?!
Haha good one
I was talking to sportsmad
You must like the odd bottler or two
And were off………
Where is the love?
Dubliner cheese is the best!!!! :) Cork made of course!!
Thin Lizzy v Sultans of Ping and Cork loses …. But go like with like and Thin Lizzy v Rory Gallagher and it’s Cork all the way boy!!!!!
Some Corkonians are like the Brits when it comes to claiming those that aren’t their own, Rory was born in Donegal as stated earlier, check it out man :-)
His parents lived there for a few months, then went back to Cork.
Next they’ll be trying to claim Johnathan Rhys Myers……
And Guinness is English ya thick jackeen
Ye can keep him. We have Cillian Murphy ;)
And we have Colin Far…..ok you win this one!
@William, Guinness is actually owned by Diageo which is a global conglomerate you cretinous mullah :-)
