The Dublin vs Cork All Ireland semi-final replay was played at Pairc Ui Chaoimh, Cork was the last to be outside Croke Park, Dublin until 2014. It was also the first All-Ireland semi-final replay to be played outside Croke Park since 1941.Seán Moran https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/remembering-when-kerry-kicked-ahead-of-dublin-78-years-ago-1.4014161 Remembering when Kerry kicked ahead of Dublin 78 years ago: This year will be only the third replay between the counties, and the first in Croke Park The Irish Times 11 September 2019 11 September 2019 By this stage [the 1930s] the tendency to spread the [All-Ireland] semi-finals around the country was dying, and the 1941 replay in Tralee would be the last played outside Croke Park until 1983, when Dublin memorably went to Páirc Uí Chaoimh to take on Cork in an All-Ireland semi-final replay. The All-Ireland final has gone down as the most ill-disciplined decider in championship history. Dubbed the Game of Shame, four players were sent off – three from the Dublin team and one from Galway. Although the official attendance was 71,988 there was overcrowding on both terraces with many supporters failing to get into the ground. Same scoreline as 1942 All Ireland final 41 years later.
