He's right about the support though in fairness.

Foley isn't a tight enough marker. He allows his opponent to win possession too often and then spends his efforts trying to close him down. He rarely wins 50:50 contests and is not inter county standard. Absolutely destroyed by O' Callaghan. Not strong enough, not quick enough and chasing shadows all night. Kerry need to find a fullback pronto.

whatever jason foleys deficiencies are.. one of them is not his speed or lack of it... he is lightning quick

Saying Clifford has only produced a good performance in 1 meaningful game since he started and claiming that JOD was a better forward means I just cant take anything you say seriously at all. Not doubting JOD, he was sensational in 2014.

Also this isn't Cliffords 8th year playing senior football

Its just so hard to debate rationally with someone who clearly has their mind made up. You're just picking out games that Kerry have lost in the last few years, its also possible that the team just played poorly on those days, can hardly pin the blame on one person, plus didn't he score 8 points against Tyrone in that semi in 2021?

The first article when I google David Clifford motm

6 points from play and fouled for a few more and thats not a great game?

Pull the other one.

He actually wasnt great against Tyrone last year I thought apart from that famous pass and a strong finish.

The link works just fine Piskin, probably easier for you to say it doesn't anyway.

I cant be arsed debating with you, you're clearly on the windup at this stage, just cutting everyone

@Piskin

All players have work to do & Clifford is no different....I would like to see him kick the point when it's on rather than advancing/goal attempts esp when we need to steady the ship at times

I'd love for the media to stop glorifying him constantly, Small kicked a point hogan st side sat nite that was top drawer, if twas Clifford twould be the highlight of the Sunday game.

Comparing him to Gooch M Fitz et al can be done when he's retired,

By his 7th senior season M Fitz didn't have an all ireland medal.....just to put a bit if perspective on it

Since when has a league game in February been a big match or a meaningful game??

It's a league game.

In February.

Some amount of way OTT rubbish posted here since Saturday.

Nice to see a bit of fight and direct football from Kerry today after rolling over and having their tummies tickled last week.

Couple of nice counter attacks and that little row midway through the half is no harm either.

I was hoping for a reaction at home so nice to get it, regardless of what way this finishes.

Yeah there needed to be some sort of a bite back after last sat nite & thankfully there was

Joe o connor growing into the midfield role

V reliant again on the Clifford's but again when paudie gets motoring everything else comes together

Bit disappointed with tyrone tbh, lost drive & direction when Harte went off

If Derry and Dublinwin there provinces and there groups and continue through they meet in the SF AFAIK

None of that is guaranteed.

Semifinals are done via a draw after the quarter finals.

Ya looks that way and they both have the head to head on Kerry even if we are on the same points as one of them. Derry are probably guaranteed a final spot they have Mayo away and Roscommon at home. They should get to 10 or 11 points and have a good scoring difference.

Dublin are away to Galway and at home to Tyrone both of them may need the points to stay up.

We are away to Roscommon and at home to Galway in the final game

Sorry forgot about the SF being an open draw unless there was clashes

Joe O Connor is not the answer at midfield. Felt he was average at best today. Defensively he is very poor and will be targeted by teams come championship. Now maybe he’s still the best of a bad bunch as Okunbur didn’t show anything in the short time he was on.

Will you ever take a break winding people up. The man of the match isn’t good enough 😂. Actually I thought Dara Moynihan was man of the match but sure you don’t think he should be on the panel at all. Sean O Shea had a great game at 14, that’s an awful worry 😝

Raoul Duke

Can someone tell me why our goal was disallowed in the 1st half? Looked ok to me.
