Would agree with this
Peter Keane has shown no mercy to former players who possibly would still be useful on many inter county teams
He is building a new era in the kingdom around those minor teams

Agree, Keane is doing what many criticised Fitzmaurice for not doing. It’s not a managers job to be loyal that’s the fans job.

The way a few in media ran with this story as a Kerry conspiracy story was very poor form.

Fans day was lovely today, kids delighted. What the GAA is all about.

A lot of the kerry footballers were at the Lixnaw v kilmoyley county final last year too.

Suppose the hurling is usually hard fought with massive rivalry in north kerry. Good for spectators

That account is protected now, can’t view the tweet. What was the general gist of the story behind it?

Mr. Incognito

Kerry 2-18 Dublin 1-15

I can see Kerry tearing them apart in the first 20 minutes and Dublin falling apart but eeking their way back into it before Kerry get a goal at the death.

Kerry are improving and Dublin havent played anyone other than a Mayo team Kerry took apart.

The ref will ensure that there are a lot of frees. This guy is always at the centre of some drama or other. Would have preferred a low key appointment.

And who have Kerry played that makes them so feared ?

Tyrone team that Dublin have hammered the last 2 years ?

The Donegal team who they drew with ?

The Cork team ?

Who ever Kerry have played Dublin have played and played better.

I dont think you understand football. It's a knock out not a league.

Kerry are younger, faster, and more skillfull.

Dublin have a lot of big guys that run at you and one or two skill players like Rock but basically they are 26 of the same physical guys that run around and handpass to each other until a hole opens that they power through.

Kerry move the ball into space better and have better forwards.

It'll be close but Kerry look better to me.

I fear the ref though. A kerry player basically had to get murdered in the semi against Mayo in 2017 under this lad to get a free.

FYI Dublin didnt hammer Tyrone. It was a comfortable 6 point win. Kerry blew them away in the second half.

Kerry for me.

Why Rock as the skillful player?

Sure, he can kick a dead ball, but he doesn't have the outrageous point-scoring skill of Mannion, neither can he kick off either foot to the same level as Kilkenny or Andrews. O'Callaghan has a shimmy that Rock would die for, and Fenton's catching skills are far better. McCaffrey's skill at travelling at pace with the ball is unrivalled nationally, while there are few more skilled tacklers than Cooper and McCarthy.

Kerry more skillful. Your joking right. Simply compare like for like 15 v 15.

Ryan - Stephen Cluxton
Foley - byrne
Morley - O sullivan
O Sullivan - Fitzy
Murphy - McCaffrey
Crowley - Mccarthy
Enright - Small
Moran - Fenton
Spillane - MDMA
Beaog - Scully
O shea - O Callaghan
O Brien - Howard
Clifford - Mannion
Geaney - Rock
Spillane - Kilkenny

If you make out that Kerry have a more skillul 15 there then Dublin have I retire.

Don't use one of your basis for your argument then as Kerry having played better teams than Dublin ?! Cause that ain't true.

He's winding ye up. Skilful is bad enough but faster?:eek:

What sort of method do you use for predicting the exact score?

i think that Mr. InCognito is winding up ye Dubs suggesting a Kerry win..... im from Kerry and tbh if we are within 10pts at the end i'll be happy enuf another yr of conditioning and experience will bring on our lads a ton and maybe next yr we might have some hope of turning ye over... anyways tbh i think the next 10 championships will belong to either Kerry or Dublin....

Dublin supporters have to b delighted with the sending off in the hurling and the coverage it has attracted... has taken serious limelight away from the 5-in-a-row bid

Yeah. Agree with this. If we lose by 9, itll be a bearable loss. If you're looking at 10+ that's not good but that's the benchmark this Dublin team has set.

I think the only thing certain, is a Dublin win, question is just by how much. Anyone calling a Kerry win needs to have a word with themselves.

I think it has the makings of the start of a great rivary a real rivalry - not like the Kerry v Dublin 70's 80's myth (Kerry was by far in away the top dogs then)

People seem to have forgotten already that Kerry beat Dublin in the 2017 league final
Kerry also beat Dublin in this year's league
If I was a Kerry supporter I would be quietly thinking 'maybe' - we have clifford and Walsh could cause havoc to that Dublin backline

---
The bould Pat from templenoe (forget his second name) said that when Kerry were going for five in row they froze, stopped playing, started to do things they would not normally do.
---

But personally I hope the Dublin team does not panic like a novice swimmer who were doing grand until they realise they are in the deep end.

Jim Gavin has to keep all those minds switched on.
The players have to avoid the questions/comments from the locals - 'five in a row - wha'?'

---

I would have preferred a hurling final replay that would have been great.
A hurling sending off will have to do!

I think its irrelevant tbh. The group of players have pretty much proved they're immune to such noise.

gormdubhgorm

When I think about it the Kerry lads will be really pumped up for this.
The history of stopping Dublin doing five in a row.

All the former Kerry greats giving nods to team - adding to the sense of history

All those super confident fellas from those Kerry minor teams,

No real pressure on Kerry - it is Dublin's to lose etc

Unless his names begins with Diarmuid :rolleyes:

Its going to be very hard to see past a Dublin win.

If Kerry play out of their skin, but only if Dublin play poorly, maybe they have a chance. If, but and maybe.

Dublin by 6 points at least.

I'm not sure why my post was deleted but hey ho. If ye win, I hope ye enjoy it anyway. I'm sure ye wish the same for us.

The level of vitriol gets a bit depressing at times, it's only football, we all want to enjoy supporting our teams.

Dublin by 7 or 8 points.

We'll probably have a first 20 or 30 minutes with little in it, with Dublin taking it handy and then when they want to win it they'll win it.

Ah sure people should enjoy the game.
I actually think it will be a great game of football - tension, skill, drama all that stuff.
But it's great that we have a Kerry v Dublin final.
It will make winning it all the sweeter for whoever wins it given it's context.

I always found Kerry supporters very knowledgeable about thier GAA and very fair in thier analysis.

For some reason it sticks in my memory way back in 2006.
Saw a fella in a Kerry jersey walking along the night of the final

I said 'You must be a happy man?'
But he said 'ah sure that wasn't a game of football at all' - he didn't enjoy it.
Hammered Mayo.
You would swear Kerry lost the game!

SoundsRight

Kerry 1-15 Dublin 3-18

I really hope it's a cracker of a game, but everything we've seen so far this championship points to a comfortable Dublin win. If Kerry can make it to half time and still be within a goal of Dublin, they'll be doing well. I agree with Colm Parkinson about Kerry coming out in the second half and completely changing their gameplan to try and bamboozle Dublin. Easier said than done though.

Tickets came this morning. Nice to see it only cost us 90euro up here in the Schmoke.

I've exams and a wedding this week so I haven't managed to get the "buzz". Just yet.

It will come. Hopefully the lack of buzz will show HQ that this needs to go back to the 3rd weekend of September.

Very muted buildup to this but I suppose while they may tune in for a few minutes, most neutral people don't really care anymore as it's a foregone conclusion. Dublin will definitely win and probably win easily, an 8 point minimum I'd predict.

The analysis isn't that hard- while the forward lines probably have the same amount of firepower, the Dublin goalkeeper defenders are brilliant and the Kerry ones are average.

Even if it does somehow end up being a tight game, playing at home will be worth a few points to Dublin and will likely help them over the line.
