    Dublin to win this handy enough. I think 6+ points.

    I had a look at the betting on Friday, and again just now 4.20 pm Saturday, no change. Kerry are slight favourites. Best odds on Kerry 11/10 with Boyle, and best Dublin 5/4 with Paddy Power.

    I do kit think you even get physical tickets from clubs.....not ones outside the competing counties anyway

    Got a ticket out of the local club for the match. It was a e Printed ticket.

    Is row UU in cusack restricted viewing due to the ceiling or not. Long time since I’ve been back that far. I think it is where they’ve got the tv



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,735 ✭✭✭Grats


    It's only restricted viewing of the big screens from what I know. You'll be under cover from any rain!!!

    Don't care who wins, I like most neutrals will be hoping for a competitive contest that goes down to the wire. The bookies and their punters are suggesting that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,275 ✭✭✭Trampas


    Wasn’t sure if you can see the far side of pitch or not. That’s if my eyes can see that far. I’ll be dry is a positive bar getting to the ground



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,735 ✭✭✭Grats


    There's no problem seeing the far side of the pitch. Well, with decent eyesight! Enjoy.

    Two pairs of club men up against each other in midfield (Raheny- Fenton and Howard. Na Gaeil- O'Connor and Barry). Surely a first?

    That might be slightly remarkable, but not as remarkable as brothers playing against each other in an All Ireland Final.

    "The ultimate example, of course, was that of the Maguire brothers. In the 1952 All-Ireland final, Des and Liam played for Cavan and their younger brother Brendan lined out for Meath."

    Dublin by 4 to 6 points at 6/1 looks value.

    I doubt it,....... especially as the first twenty years years ish of AI's were virtually club championship's

    Up for the match is cringe central too. Time turn over already

    Out of the bookies and gone with a random one of Gavin White man of the match at 25/1. I had the same bet in the semi and thought I was on to a winner when he got the early goal.

    Also, anyone with any last minute miracle spares and looking to shift it , would happily buy a single as still looking for myself! In the unlikely scenario, send me a PM! Thanks!

    Wasn't going to bother watching it but stuck it on, same ould, same ould, wouldn't mind winning those tickets thought.

    I wonder will it be a Kerryman called for a drugs test this year?


    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I think Kerry will win.

    whatever the result I just hope to fûck that Gough is not the focus of the discussion and derision for either set of supporters or indeed neutrals…

    that from the throw in he’s fair, doesn’t bottle the tough decisions and by proxy if he needs to make them he’s not in the aftermath going all out GAA style to give the other team a break or to shaft anyone to even it up…. Forget, the scoreboard the history, the players, the occasion and just referee the match as it unfolds as per the book. His refereeing of the semi was controversial, this was a penalty…>>

    Yes, Gough content to award Kerry a second half penalty for a foul that occurred four to five meters outside the square, a genuine challenge, not a deliberate foul but was a foul ok certainly, but one that he went on record in the media after to say he believed was a denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity and was a pull down… a swinging arm towards the ball to dispossess the attacker, a pull down or deliberately done it wasn’t…initial contact gives proper perspective as to where and when the foul occurs, the Powter though swings and reaches at the ball.

    It wasn’t a deliberate ‘pull down’ or deliberate foul he tried to dispossess him, he played the ball attempting to dislodge with a swinging right arm and in attempting to do so did commit the foul and there was cover converging which would have likely intercepted the path of the attacker …. So both the awarding of the black and the penalty was incorrect. A foul 100% a free should have been awarded. Neither commentator even allude to the possibility of a penalty….He received other criticism for many more say minor oversights during the match.

    more high profile routine errors in the game as noted by media and other observers… Yet here he is, for the big one.

    You are spot on I think. Dublin won't get near them and will be the end of an era for alot of them. Great team but now past it and Kerry will win at there ease tomorrow.

    Getting the ole excuses in early I see, at least the yerra tries to be a bit more subtle



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 704 ✭✭✭Tomaldo


    I can't see us losing, we lost by a point last year in the semi without Con, Jack Mac, Mannion and Clucko. David Clifford's talent can't be dismissed, but he played last year and 2019. I was over confident in 1978, but we were going for 3 in a row. We're slight underdogs with PP. Dublin to score most goals and points 9/2 or Fenton to score in both halves and Dublin to win 7/1, are worth a small wager, IMO.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 156 ✭✭Magic Midget


    Dublin by 3. I don't think Clifford will have enough support. Geaney, Dara Moynihan etc are mediocre at this level. Kerry midfield are weak enough. Dublin better subs. Kerry need a Clifford miracle, and he's the one man could.

    Kerry remind me a little of Limerick hurlers in 2019. They are still vulnerable as shown v Cork and v Mayo.

    There not as hardened mentally and physically as Limerick would be now. That ability to change tactics themselves on the pitch. That ultra professionalism. They will probably do a 3 in a row but I think it will be 2024-2026.

    Dublin were the same in 2014, beatable and a bit of hubris about them. But learned lessons.
