    im not a cork man but the amount of off the ball incidents and thuggery that kerry have perfected over the years is incredible.

    cooper diving yesterday and the ref still falls for it.galvin nearly takes someones head off and yet we have c"""" like eoin liston and the kerry pr machine defending them to the last.

    if it was a normal club side doing this 15 players would be sent off.

    Dont forget Thomas O'Se yesterday and Daragh O'She over the years.

    Kennelly should have been sent off for a blatant shoulder to the face. Cld have seriously injured the Cork player.

    As someone pointed out, you never see dog at the circus with a hurley and sliotar.

    Let them have their Bog Ball title...:rolleyes:

    The number of fouls by Gooch on Lynch, yet when Lynch went anywhere near him he was on the ground, O Se's kick into Canty, Kennelly's high tackle on Murphy in the first few seconds - if that had happened 10/15 minutes in, then Kennelly would have walked. The high tackles around the neck not being punished, and then the ref punishing petty things


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    Yeah the refs take the high moral ground on jersey pulling but try to break a guys jaw/cheekbone or kick a player on the ground and thats fair enough...:rolleyes:

    Did we give ye a false since of hope:P, you must remember our propaganda machine was on overtime all year, playing ourselves down and spreading wild rumours of pints and infighting. Cork thought they had it in the bag, while Kerry went to Croker and swiped the title without getting out of 2nd gear :D:D I thought Cork surely by this stage should be up to our tricks but they fell straight into our trap laid by some of the "cutest hoors" in the Kingdom.

    Just aswell a ref didn't wrong Kerry with by sending off Paul Galvin (after O'Leary tried killing him) in the Replay or giving Cork a penalty that was none in the replay. The ref gave everything to Cork in the 1st half but was more consistent in the second.

    An Ciarraí ABU, the Rebel uprising quashed again and so long as Kerry have a team we will ensure that no Cork team will ever beat Kerry in Croke Park and will never ever take the Sam when the mighty Kingdom are their opposition.

    2000, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009. Team of the Decade.

    The Kingdom of Kerry and the Kingdom of Heaven and for 70 minutes in Croke Park both Kingdoms merged and we even gave Cork a taste of Success within ten minutes before taking it away and the look on their faces was worth every penny. Nothing like giving Cork a "batin" in Croke Park with the greatest footballing machine to ever emerge from the depths of the mighty Kingdom.

    UP THE KINGDOM

    Kerry deserved to win the all ireland, they we're the best footballing team. Every single match this year has had an incident where players could and shouldve been sent off whelan v kerry ohare v kerry both very serious incidents and both against kerry but you dont see jack oconner or kerry fans talking about them.

    I was at the match yesterday and i fully believe corks plan was get lynch to wind up cooper if he picks up a yellow switch lynch over. I was at the game lynch never took his hands of cooper regardless of where the ball was, he set out to play a negative style of football because i feel he knows cooper could give him the run around.

    With regards to tadgh it was never a sending off he didnt connect fully, if he had of thats another story.

    And i am from dublin

    Only point I see is that Cork did not have the bottle to win, any team that cannot kick a point from 35m cannot become AI champs.

    You came up to Croke Park full of "what we are going to do to you ba****ds" so now accept your defeat like we accepted them from Tyrone and get on with finding the players you need to win the AI.

    Yes Kerry deserved to win..without a doubt. Cork didnt have the confidence (balls!!) to press home their possession and Kerry did what they had to do.

    That statement in bold by you is absolutely mind boogling. He didnt fully connect with what exactly??:confused:

    Thats the type of attitude in the GAA that allows tackles like that to go unpunished but yet a player gets booked for jersey pulling. Waiting for someone to get a serious injury..broken neck perhaps?

    Who? me?

    Thats the one thing annoying here. When Cork get a good win they all of a sudden think they are world beaters and get carried away...bit like the Irish rugby team or the English soccer team.

    My money was on Kerry to win which I look forward to collecting..:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭sslazio11


    Kennelly's challenge was poor, it's up to the ref to make the decision on a card. He felt it was a free, no more. He probably got it wrong. Not the first time a referee made a mistake, not the last.

    As for Cooper diving? You clearly weren't at the match. I was on the Hill, so I can only comment on the first half, but Lynch spent 35 minutes with his arms wrapped around Cooper so he couldn't make any runs off the ball, and clipped him on the heels on more than one occasion when he was running for the ball. His sense of indignation whenever a free was awarded against him was laughable.

    Galvin did not nearly take someone's head off. It was certainly higher than it should have been, but in all honesty, not that bad a challenge.

    I'm not making Kerry out to be angels, but to portray them as some sort of monsters who flagrantly flout the rules of the game without punishment is wrong.

    Beating Mayo (and everyone beats them in an All-Irland) and beating Cork (at their 3rd or 4th sport) is nothing to get too excited about.

    Until Kerry beat Tyrone in an All Ireland final, they will never be the "Team of the Decade"..:D

    Sure isnt that why Jack O'Connor came back..?

    this thread will not end well. some people on here are showing themselves up to be bitter bitter people. the ref got decisions wrong for both teams yesterday but lynch was hanging off of cooper all day.

    Tadhg incidient was an acccident, not a dirty player at all. As already pointed out, Kerry were on the receiving end of a few bad tackles this year. and Canty struck out the end also yesterday and there were 1 or 2 more rash tackles that were part of the game.

    this is GAA, not basketball.

    Kerry were the better team. They may have got a way with a bit from the ref but let's not fool ourselves. cork were awful in second half. cost me a bit of money too :(

    its called BOG BALL because people in Dublin only watch the final on TV and never get involved in it so due to jealousy/mindless ignorance/poking fun at ...its all people from outside Dublin (ie. Boggers)

    similarly ... Hurling is regarded as "Stick ball" .

    NOTE: If yer not from the city yer either from "the Bogs" or "the Sticks" .... :D

    Ps. Corkman - living in Dublin

    watched the game on TV - both teams were going in hard...was an alright game not the best - Cork started well...Kerry got into the game and didnt allow Cork to play.... actually it looked more like Cork were trying to upset individual Kerry players instead of concentrating on the game.

    Well Done Kerry - see ya next year.

    Fingers crossed for a hurling and football double (For Cork) .... Kilkenny look like they wont win it again next year.

    A laughable statement if ever there was one, your hurlers don't have a hope in hell of winning Munster, let alone an AI next year and believe me KK will be looking to cement their place in history next year by being the first team to win 5 in a row and I wouldn't be surprised to see them doing it.

    To all Cork fans. Just dont bother with any of them.

    Look as Cork fan best team won yesterday. But if they think that elbowing a player in face or stamping on player is ok well let them. Cork people are bigger and better then that. Yes we were poor yesterday but its the second sport in Cork dont forget it be long time before other team second sport get to the final. We may be waiting a while like few Kerry people told us yesterday but as one Corkman said the best way to reply to them is to say nothing at all.

    No shame in saying we are second best.

    As to Cork players im happy at least ye had dignity to not stamp or elbow players into the face. I know it ends up with no medal in your pocket but at end of day the geniune GAA fan will always rememeber the real teams who accept defeat as well as victory with sense of dignity. One those teams being Tyrone.

    im not bitter.kerry were the best team yesterday and are great to watch but they are the biggest bunch of cheats to ever play the game.and also the media (o'cinneide,the bomber,weeshie, et al) are the worst hypocrites you could ever meet.could you imagine if that tadhg kennelly incident happened to one of their players.they would never ever shut up about it and would claim to be above all that s"""" when they are the ones who invented it.

    And what do you want....

    "Excuses me ref, I think you got it wrong, you should send me off, i have been a bad boy"

    "Ah no ref he didn't tug my jersey and you should give him the free"

    Every game has its incidents, the ref makes a call, sometimes wrong, more times right, it can be annoying and frustrating but just pick up the pieces and get on with it...

    well thats fair enough comment. I respect that and no problem in that at all.

    luckily ye told me year i taught ye won a hurling in 1960-61 or round that(think ye were beaten in final)

    It doesnt matter whether or not he fully connected. Rules state "To strike, or attempt to strike" another player should result in an instant sending off.

    Bitterness and bulls**t, take a bow.

    As a genuine neutral (can't stand Cork or Kerry:D), the best team on the field yesterday won the game without haveing to play well. Did Kennelly connect - yes. Was Galvin higher than he should have been - yes. Is that why Kerry won the All ireland at a canter, no its not. Tough teams win All Irelands. Maybe not always within the letter of the law, but thats why officials are there. Ask any geneuine GAA man, which is more annoying - a fella leaving in a high elbow once in a blue moon, or a player not up to the task in hand who has to play 70 minutes wrapped around his opponent. I'm just referring to incidents raised by the Cork and Kerry people on this thread.

    To finish, I would not class Kerry as a dirty team. Tough? Physical? Bordering on the edge? yes. And until Cork learn to the same (not one Kerry lad got hit yesterday, legally or illegally, with any degree of physicality) they will always flatter to deceive during the summer and fall like the leaves from the tree in Autumn.

    Bending the rules and reaping the rewards seems acceptable to the 'rebels' to win a hurling all ireland or two but not to lose in football? Grow up lads.

    :D

    Clutching at straws.

    Kerry play on the edge. Cork do it too, Miskella could dish it out against Tyrone. They just don't do it against Kerry in Dublin because they freeze, not because they are clean. GAA fans all over the country will laugh at your idea that someone like O'Leary plays with a sense of dignity, he can be as thuggish as the worst of them.

    Oh and every GAA fan will remember the sight of Cork GAA fans streaming for the exits with minutes to go. Class and dignity? Not shown by a lot of Cork fans I'm afraid. The better team won, gaelic football is not a game for wimps, that is all

    And what aboout John Miskella thumping a Tyrone player in the semi final? Was he bigger and better then? Or Graham Canty landing on one of the Meath lads with his boot in their chest?

    This thread is laughable because this type of criticism is usually held for the Ulster teams when they win something.

    Its good to see though that teams from other provinces are also being hit with the mud slinging now. Why is it that supporters just can't admit their own team weren't good enough?

    For years I've been hearing that the Ulster teams won because of cynical play but one thing has to be recognised lads - every team engage in their own bit of cynical play. Kerry or Cork or Dublin are every bit as cynical as Armagh or Tyrone.

    Kerry won yesterday because they were the better team. Cork supporters can fool themselves all they like but your chance was there and ye kicked 14 or 15 wides. That's what lost the game for ye. Not anything Kerry did.

    Anyway, it makes a nice change not to hear this being said about the Ulster teams.

    well first of all I praised an Ulster team (Tyrone). So dont know why your having go at me here being honest.

    Yes better team I also said that.

    actually the more I read on the the more Im going what you on about getting at me for.

    I agree with most what you said in my post.

    Ok Miskella was lucky no question against Tyrone no doubt. But your overall point is going round and round lad

    Best team won yesterday but Cork won it for them. imo Jack o Connor got a lot right in the selection of the forwards, the only thing the Cork backs could do to stop the Kerry forwards was foul... Towards the end of the first half when Canty and Miskella were back in the full back line you knew it wasn't going to be Cork's day. It's pretty bizare to label Kerry as being a dirty team, they're tough and physical but you don't win 5 ais in 10 years without that trait. They certainly aren't on the same planet as Tyrone, Armagh, Monaghan, Derry or pretty much any Ulster team for dirtiness... Was at the match yesterday and I didn't see the Kennelly incident, maybe he should have gone but then Lynch should have walked by half time for persistent fouling.

    EDIT: this whole thing about football being Cork's second sport does not really hold much water given that Cork has more clubs than any other county and definitely has more clubs playing football than Kerry...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,311 ✭✭✭youtheman


    I'm from Kerry so I'm biased. Tadhg, according to the law, should have been sent off, though it would be a brave referee to send somebdy off after 1 second in a final.

    But I'd really like to comment on the Thomas O' Shea 'kicking' incident. The Cork lad tried to hold O' Shea by the two ankles to stop him from carryiing on with the play. As far as I'm concerned he deserved to have the head kicked off him. If you grab a fellow by the arm he's allowed to swing it to get you to release it. Same goes for trying to grab a fellow by the ankles. Thomas was just trying to free himself, and though luck if the Cork gombeen got in the way.

    Jelousy won't get ye anywhere. Off the ball incidents???
    Gooch was raped for the whole first half by Lynch... Diving??? He didn't get time to dive before Lynch was on his back.
    Galvin was take out twice off the ball, but didn't react, once by a viscious elbow from Alan O'Connor.
    Donaghy was kicked in the foot by Derek Kavenagh 2 minutes after coming back from a broken bone in his foot.
    Mícheál Quirke was punched straight in the face by Canty, caught clearly on camera.

    Tomás kicked Canty on the ground as well, so we're no angels but Cork were far far worse in terms of off the ball stuff.

    Ciarraí Abú

    EDIT: A note on Kennelly. The challenge was not malicious. He clearly was going for a shoulder, but the technique was off, and the elbow lifted, and caught Nicholas Murphy. A yellow card for a high/dangerous challenge would have sufficed, as the intention to injure Murphy was clearly not there.

    Grow up...the best team won...both teams had questionable incidents but talking about it is not going to change the result. Sam is back in its righful home. I'm sure it won't be long before we hear the word "strike" bandied around Cork again....you wouldn't see Kerry or Kilkenny resort to that kind of childish behaviour.
