Championship statistics

Miscellaneous

  • Cork's victory in the championship decider is the county's fourth All-Ireland title in succession and fifth in six years. The 'four-in-a-row' is a record which still stands as of 2010.
  • Wexford become the first team to lose three All-Ireland finals in-a-row.

4 goals in a final and 4 goals and a point in semi-final at U21 by John (Rocky) Rothwell are high scoring records which still stand as of 2013.

gollark: A search query which returns lots of results is going to take longer than one which returns none, mostly, thus you have access to some data you shouldn't.
gollark: For example, send a request to `https://interweb.site/search-some-private-data?query=thing` using a form or `img` or `script` or whatever, and see how long it takes (using `onload`/`onerror` handlers and such).
gollark: The timing attacks thing: since you can send GET requests to domains you probably shouldn't be able to, and time how long they take, you can infer some data you shouldn't be able to from other domains.
gollark: It is not okay, it is bees.
gollark: Because you can access cross-domain scripts and images without explicit optin by the site they're from, guess what? TIMING ATTACKS, *and* you can check whether there's an image or not at some arbitrary URL because while CORS weirdness won't let your code read the *content* of an image you include with `<img>` unless the site it's from opts in, you can check the width/height and whether it loaded or not.
