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.

Clubs have been issued a championship pack to encourage surrounding areas to be decked out. It was done by the Lord mayor.

Last year the Khmer Vert were stopping City Council putting up banners on bridges.

They are biggest or second biggest party on DCC now. I presume they have changed their tune?


Cabra already looking well from transit last week. Pity it was spoiled by the royal blue and white ones :-)

I got my tickets just now.
Can't wait now.
The bookies have the Dubs at -6
Think it could be closer.

Minor should be good as well.
Will feel a bit strange watching a minor game without Kerry in it.
Cork v Galway will be a difficult one to call.

Apparently alot of areas are being decked this weekend. It is bad that its the same people each time getting out and doing their own area it needs to come from all of the GAA community and not just the few commited.

So already tickets are being sold online for profit, why go to hassle of moving them on for the sake of an extra few quid. Absolute soulless hounds

Fair play to ya - three things about selling tickets for massive profit that really annoys me.

1) This means it is more likely the rich people buy them

2) Those who buy the ticket are less likely to be proper supporters and are just there for the 'event'

3) Those who sell the tickets at mad prices are greedy ****ers - who are no worse than drug dealers.

Im joking mate. Its not worth me job and any tout is a scumbag, Croke park are clamping down on people selling tickets on. If they get pictures of the tickets with the 3 digits trans code the tickets are cancelled for reselling as its not allowed. If you go through me posts you will see i handed out premiums hurling finals for free morning of the game as I did witu Dublin mayo game
Diagusting seeing tickets resold

That came across wrong - what I meant was that you have the decency to not flog your tickets to the highest bidder

Prestonites

Oh yeah i understand absolutely no chance obviously the spares wont be going to anyone who frequents Tralee Killarney or any other Kerry town, But sure plenty to go around. Should be a bulk of tickets arrived today to people

Prestonites

Well done to Pumper who won player of the month for august. Well deserved Con.

Have 2 Hill tickets if someone wants to swap stand tickets for them plus cash your way. Would need to be lower tier stand, don't mind where after that.
Swap on the Sunday morning or in Dingle before that.

Not for sale at any price. Thanks.

Any presupposing the result is not coming from Dublin.

Mainly, if here is any indication, from non Kerry people who hate Dublin and are on win/win:

Dublin winning is proof of their Cassandra like predictions of the death of gaelic football.

Kerry win, then it be like one of happiest days of their lives.


they'll enjoy it either way. In their own little way.

I wonder will certain 'journalists' have separate copies ready? -
One if Dublin win
Another if Kerry win
The narrative would have to be completely different - the agenda would stay the same.

Of course if it turns out to be a draw a pulsating game, that would be devastation to some, because there will not be clear line of attack.

They might have to praise Gaelic football and admit they enjoyed it.
The shame of it!

I was having a nose around you tube and there was this programme called 'Kerry the Green and Gold' about Kerry GAA

It covers the history of Kerry GAA right up until 2006.
I found it funny that many of the things said could be applied now.
Kerry have to adapt thier game changing times etc etc

Who will you be shouting for on next Sunday anyway?
I'd say you are really looking forward to it as a neutral?

I hope kerry win it for the reason that it would be nice for dublin not to beat their 4 in a row record. The cash has kinda sullied the thing so kerry keeping their record would be maybe a bit of poetic justice.

I think this is going be closer then some expect. Kerry never lie down easy and I expect it to be right tussle for long time.

Dublin by 3 or 4 points in end as they just never seem to panic

But how much will this 5 in a row play in the minds of the Dubs?

If they can handle it they will win, but same was said of Cats in 2010

Nothing ive said there is unreasonable or unfair. It is just the truth. You wanting it to be bitter, doesnt mean it is.

Don't mind me. Just amusing myself.

Was cheering for your women today. Thought they'd gotten a draw at the end, but right call from the ref. Great goal in second half.

There was a huge circus going on when KK going for 5 with the miracle of Shefflin defying a cruciate injury to play and 8000 people at onowlan park watching him training..... i doubt if there was even 8 people watching the Dubs train this yr not to mind in the last wk or 2...

Shefflin didnt last long which would be like the Dubs losing C Kilkenny or Con would b a huge blow.... not likely to happen of course....

5-in-a-row wont feature as these lads are way too focused for that.... if Kerry are within 10pts we'll be happy enuf

But wouldn't Kerry winning be the ultimate contraction to your oft stated beliefs that cash equals success?

I think you are in a lose - lose.
You have backed yourself into a corner.

Dublin win = they get the five in a row which has been never achieved in the game. And most fair-minded people will view them as the greatest team of all time - style of play, mental strength, level of player, once in a generation players etc (which will really stick in your craw)
11 survivors of the 2011 final and another 7 come from the 2013 team.

Kerry win = they disprove the cash equals success theory in THE penultimate MUST WIN GAME for the Dubs.
(which means all you have believed up to this point is utterly untrue)
Kerry the new breed of young vibrant footballers the next generation. Enright the only survivor of the 2011 final with EOD on the panel. So it is basically a near complete clear out.

It is going to be a long year for you either way!
I wouldn't watch the game if I were you.

Then there is Mayo.....
Yes, then there is Mayo.....

Why penultimate?

Don't think the heart would stand a draw gormdubh!
