The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

Deliberate foul all the same though*.

Kerry choked. They'll never get a handier chance than that. 14 men and a ref who couldn't have given them much more.

Kerry are a team of kids basically.

The ref didn’t get much wrong. Cooper had to go and Tom o Sullivan’s was never a yellow

True. But he was heading off to Boston until visa issues, lads involved are training eight months, can’t be great for morale for lads to see him coming on ahead of them/included in 26 ahead of him.

Kerry missed chances too. Could have been going in all square. Think if they had started Tommy Walsh they might be going home the cup.

Sean O’Shea was outstanding some performance for a 21 year old. Great character from David Clifford too, twenty years old had as bad a start as possible and kept showing up.

Dublin naturally favourites for replay but don’t see them hammering that Kerry side.

Replay will be a different game if it's 70 minutes against 15. Kerry were hanging on up to the red, but you could sense Dublin were starting to build and pull away.

It's something else though that Dublin can still manage a draw with only a 4 point lead going into half time with a man down, especially when you look at the hurling final where Hogan was sent off around the same time and Tipp ended up pulling away to win by 14.

New fleet of 201-D cars for the lads anyway :P

That seemed like Kerry's best chance through with the red card.

ClanofLams

Kerry left it after them, trying to hold ball one point up with seven to go was lunacy.

Agreed. You have to feel that was Kerry's chance and they didn't get it done. Three missed goal chances including one awfully taken penalty (Cluxton coming off his line aside) as well as numerous missed points.

Enthralling contest overall but you'd fancy the Dubs to win by 6-9 points in the replay.

Not sure about that Hawkeye call, looked like the majority of the ball was inside the post.

****e. That goal kinda came out of nowhere. Thought Dublin were pulling away there.

Joe Brolly saying Cooper's 2nd yellow should have been a Dublin free out. The more you watch it the more a yellow seems harsh

It’s a blatant yellow. Total nonsense from
Brolly. Clifford moves in ahead of him and is dragged down - not debatable

Cooper's a liability. Could be a swing now for Kerry.

He really is. I wasn't sure about the penalty but that could have been a yellow too.

Mindless stuff from him when he knows he's being watched closely

Kerry have missed two goal opportunities and a few points. This is only going one way.

How much do the practice squad members make generally, do you know?

Minimum is 8k a week, if they stay on the practice squad roster for a full season it's around 136k for the year.

They can get paid more obviously if there's other teams interested etc, in some cases skill positions can get up to around 30k a week or 3-400k a year, but the most Wade is looking at is probably around 200k.

As expected Christian Wade didn't make the Bills' 53 man roster. Now another team can sign him or he goes onto the Bills' practice squad which means he's the equivalent of a tackle bag holder.

If you stumble upon a similar place, they probably won't show the rugby.

I'd love this for the world cup, but that's me being selfish. Drawing the regular posters off the main board would pretty much ruin it.

So ... It's been 31 hours since the topic was raised and no mod had said no ... is that a yes?

While I initially love the idea... it strikes me a something that might possibly stoke the fires of a poster's antagonistic streak. One might take a dislike to something said on the "neutral political thread" and it carries over to normal threads.

That being said the possibility of this is less likely here given we're civlised human beings and not absolute nutjobs like the lads on politics or after hours.
