Kerry GAA Discussion Thread Mod Warning Post #4167

Well done Kerry, it will take a good team to stop them again. I am amazed at some of the trolling on here from some posters, whose inability to recognise a top class football team is laughable.
As for the rolling around feigning injury rubbish one poster seems to be spouting, I think he is forgetting that Tyrone have had this tactic in their armoury for a number of years now. In fact in 96, when Meath beat them, God himself took a dive in the square by the canal end looking to get Darran Fay sent off, although he got his comeuppance later on when he did get a belt from Fay. Its a given fact that when Tyrone players are not hitting you, spitting at you, feigning injury trying to get players sent off, or for that matter biting players (ask the Gooch) that they do actually know how to play football.
Again, well done Kerry

and by the way, you did beat them when it mattered

Did it not matter in 2003, 2005 or 2008??

Tyrone would beat most teams in the championship.

The only teams better than Kerry are Cork and Donegal.

Tyrone would not beat most teams in the championship....seriously did you see them today or against donegal or armagh or roscommon....they are average at best and have fallen back badly from the top teams.

I kept telling Kerry friends and supporters over the years that The Tyrone hoodoo wasn't going to last forever. Kerry were going to beat them sometime and Tyrone have gone downhill big time since 2009.

Most Kerry fans will laugh when they face Cork in Croke Park but one day Cork will beat Kerry in Croke park when it matters. The Kerry hoodoo wont last forever but I hope it ends sooner rather than later.

Too true....most statistics don't last forever.

Cork will beat kerry in croke park. (this year? who knows?)

Tyrone will be back at the big table because of the talent coming through at underage levels but right now they have fallen back badly.

Proof of that?

Seriously kerry beat a hopeless tyrone team on their home pitch in front of an almost 100% home crowd. It's hardly a reason to be looking for hotel rooms in dublin in september:rolleyes:

That did happen my friend, that it was not reported in the media shows the difference between some counties, what happens on the pitch is left on the pitch. A good friend of mine met the Gooch in hosital the day after a Tyrone/Kerry game, getting treated for a bite on his forearm, that happened during the match. Aledgedly he bit by another player, maybe it was a Kerry one, Paudie said they were animals
Win at all costs is a mantra much associated with Tyrone football, and it looks like that when the boot is on the other foot, as in today, Murphys dog comes to the fore.
In saying that, I admire some fascets of Tyrone football, and I really thought they had an outside chance of winning Sam at the start of the championship season, and they are a team that with their underage structure and senior organisation are always in with a shout every year IMO.
But one other thing to remember is that Kerry set the bar, every year, they are the Kingdom as regards football, whether you like it or not.

Thanks for opening an account to share that with us, We would never have known :rolleyes:



So what price are you willing to lay Kerry getting to the final at??

If i knew that i'd post under the username paddy power.

What difference does it make that kerry beat a poor tyrone team today...

That they are certs for croke park in september?

Yes it mattered then and Tyrone won and deserved to win on each occasion,in fact Kerry could not say they should have won any of those three clashes.
But, It also mattered today, as Kerry were been written off, especially after losing to Cork (which although Kerry played poorly, if they had taken their goal chances they would have won) and a lacklustre performance in Mullingar, they were facing tonight into a game against their bogey team of the last 10 years, so there was a lot to lose, and it did matter.

Since you've so much faith in Paddy Power you'll be pleased to know that he's made us second favourites for the All Ireland. Dry your eyes champ.

Why would i dry my eyes? Check my post history before the game....i said it would be a game we could "hope" to win and not "expect" to win like some of the media pundits had been claiming.

A good kerry team at home beats a poor tyrone team and suddenly you are in the all ireland final :rolleyes:

And if you're second favourites with paddy power then he obviously reckons there's someone better than you and that's why he's worth millions and we're posting on boards.

No dooher, canavan, cavanagh, cavlan, hughes.....and a few new lads who'd never faced kerry before....it was really only the tyrone team in name and not the same force of 2003-2008
Think a few posters here would have been happy to beat any tyrone team rather than a tyrone fan get annoyed at losing to kerry in the championship for the first time in over 25 years.

You do know that two teams will be in the AI?? I know its been a while

Yeah and if you're second favourite it means you'll have a losers medal in your arse pocket...:p

Not really.....if you engage in discussion in a forum then your posts will reflect that.

Don't know about inferiority because the only time the kerry fans got any way annoyed was when they started to slip up against tyrone in the last 10 years.

Delighted with most of that performance and not surprised , never really feared Tyrone this time , definitely a team in transition/rebuilding. Poor game overall and downright cynical in parts. I was/am very disappointed that at times today that we/Kerry lowered ourselves to the standards of cynicism/play acting etc that we have complained about and condemned when it happens against us . I truly hope it was just against todays opponents and was a result of attitudes built up towards Tyrone during the 00's. Please we are better than that sort of SHI*E

Probably the best line of the day...
