The 2025 All Ireland Senior Football Championship (Sam Maguire Cup)

Tony Brosnan too. Started the Armagh game last year.

that’s not unique to Kerry, plenty of young lads do that in other counties

McCambridge was marking Clifford on his own most of the game.

But even if you watch the highlights, SOS is lining up a shot and the Armagh lads are just standing off him. They should be diving on his boot or just putting him off at least.

Watch SOS's first 2 pointer even. 2 Armagh lads just watching him.

It makes no sense.

SOS will kick those over all day long. It's just shooting practice for him.

You don't need to double mark him.

He's a very good footballer but isn't lightning quick, so isn't that hard to mark.

We got a split dublin into 10.

Munster having hurling counties is no real advantage.

Mayo only have Galway as rivals to win Connaught yet they win nothing.

Our neighbors are a dual county with more than 3 times our population.

It's culture and tradition and obsession which makes us good.

If you are talking about GAA tradition 4 games could win you an all ireland( 3 in some cases) no matter what provence you were in.

On the flipside of being in munster. We have often gotten to croker & being cold as a result.

Nothing beats matches & would imagine its far harder to peak in training without competitive games esp in the 00's. Hopefully not as much now but yesterday was our first Div1 side to play against since the league

Tyrone will definitely lean on their wins over kerry in History etc. But kerry in fairness have settled a few scores mainly in 19 and 23, easy enough wins. 21 was a bad loss. I dare say it but I'd say kerry are delighted dublin are gone, they have a shockingly poor record since 2011 with them. The new rules are a game changer for kerry, mainly because of space and kicking ability. It very much suits their style. Having Niall Morgan in goal will help Tyrone, Rafferty imploded yesterday, Morgan is a more rounded keeper. I don't think kerry will win as much as they did yesterday but I'd say 4 or 5 points will be enough.

It's not but lots of finals and semi finals though.

2013 - semi

2014 - won

2015 - final

2016 - semi

2017 - semi

2018 - bad year

2019 - final

2020 - bad year

2021- semi

2022- won

2023 - final

2024 - semi

2025 - semi so far.

So in last 13 years, we've reached the semis at least 11 times. Only won twice though.

The 2 pointer from SOS on the 29th minute. It is just bizarre how casual the Armagh defenders are in trying to stop it. At this point I think he has six points scored and surely by that stage they have copped that he is a bit of a threat. I think it is Conaty that is happily watching him from 5 yards inside the arc,

Yeah to be fair, it's just your writing about kerry doesn't really correlate with any mad recent success

It's not a huge advantage.

I'd prefer more competition.

Roscommon has football tradition but they've a population of 70,000.

Cork's nearly 600,000.

Has more GAA clubs that any other county.

Kerry's still being ravaged by emigration.

Yeah I know. Makes no sense.

Everyone knows he's good from distance. 2 pointers will kill you in a tight game.

I don't understand it. It's not fatigue

Money means nothing when it suits. When it's Dublin football or Limerick hurling it seems to suddenly matter.

Look at population numbers in Ireland by county. All the top ones are because of the cities and then you get to Tipp, Kerry and Wexford. They all have 160k+ populations because of money. Grassroots need people and money.
