That channel is only "free" on certain platforms.
Virgin Media for example.

Its not free on Sky.

It's on the channel that's not free at all. But as its not championship that's OK for some reason.

Very enjoyable game so far anyway.

Some terrible finishing from both sides but great effort being put in.

Criminal wastefulness in front of goal from Dublin ,hells there been no goal yet

Dick Turnip

0-7 each at half time.

Dublin went 5 points to 1 up early enough but Kerry pegged them back and were much better in the last 15 minutes there. Dublin missed around 4 goal chances, Kerry missed a couple themselves.

Andrews & Mannion looking sharp for Dublin.

Tommy Walsh & O'Sullivan getting on a good bit of ball. Ó'Beaglaoich having a great battle with Mannion.

Dubs very sharp so far in the second half,

Mcaffrey comes on and the tempo and gear just moved up completely from Dublin

iDave

Some marker laid by Dublin. Very worrying for the rest of us.

V.early days ,Kerry were missing plenty, bringing last years Player of the year off the bench their strength in depth is crazy,from watching the first half I expected that to happen after the break

It was a very entertaining game.Dublin were very impressive for an early season outing.They had several opportunities to close the game out earlier and a 6 point margin flattered Kerry.Dublin were surprisingly lacking in ruthlessness in converting some gilt edged goal chances.
Paddy Andrews was outstanding,MOTM.His ability to convert those around the corner opportunities is second nature.Paul Mannion was superb,so surprised the Kerry full back line was left so isolated when they are times were struggling so badly one on one with the pace of Andrews... It was a hard night out for the young corner back from an Ghaelthacht.Griffin struggled on Rock too who had one of his better night's out.
Not a great night out for the Kerry defence,the half backs were decent in their individual contests.It is amazing how much Connolly slows up play when he gets possession with his tendency to have demonstrate his undoubtedly abilities.
Up front the kingdom struggling,Tommy Walsh was quality in the first half when he got decent ball causing Much Fitzsimmon's problems.He looked far sharper and athletic than last year.There is definite potential there.Darran O Sullivan kept the scoreboard ticking over nicely but there wasn't a while lot else.
That O Byrne cup defeat appears to have nothing more than a blip as Dublin will be exceptionally hard to beat this year.Numerous players to come back and a scary depth of reserve.

Kudos to Eddie Kinsella who officiated exceptionally well.

Agree. Kerry's tackling technique was awful and cost us a good few frees. Fionn Fitzgeralds go to tackle is a two handed push in the back. I think Kinsella missed one hand trip on a Kerry player in the corner, but other then that he was fair, kept the match flowing and got all the major calls correct.
