Kerry GAA discussion thread #2

Agree about Okunbor, it would be very much a "bring him on for five minutes if we're 4+ points ahead near the end" substitution in his case. At least the rain appears to have cleared now, was worried it would be a repeat of the Mayo game in terms of ball-handling if it continued until throw-in. Both sides will undoubtedly set up fairly defensively to begin with, but if we reach the 20 point/1-18 mark, I can't see Galway matching that tally (pun intended).

Moran and Geaney off. Thank god.

Well done to Kerry. Certainly deserved the win despite having loads of wides. Foley kept Comer anonymous all day.

But Stephen O Brien comes in for criticism and had a great game. Worked all day.

History has repeated itself.. Jack has done it again... after 3 disastrous results in 01 02 & 03, Jack came in after Paidi was basically sacked and won the all ireland in 2004.... and here we are 20 years later after 3 disastrous years under Peter Keane Jack wins the all Ireland..

while Clifford will take a lot of the plaudits for his score taking in the 1st half.... without doubt the substitution of Geaney especially who yet again in a big game was ineffective and Moran basically won the game for Kerry....

the best team in the country is now officially the best team in the country.... would have to say I have sympathy for Peter Keane who must be wondering why he didn’t enjoy some of the luck that Jack has enjoyed this year.... played a Mayo team without there best players... a Dublin team without there best player.... Tyrone knocked out... and Galway in a final... a team that Kerry would feel comfortable playing against... but those are the breaks....

His two blocks were immence

Well done Kerry. Great team and got over line in style.

Congratulations Kerry. I think overall it was a team panel and management effort that won this All Ireland.

Feels good lads. Enjoy the celebrations wherever you are.

I see the homecoming organised for tomorrow in Tralee and onto Fitzgerald Stadium then and INEC Killarney later that night, tenner on the door which goes towards the team holiday

I do not want to be harsh about PK. He had his chance. Jack lost 2 first choice backs to injury and another second choice. He lost DM this week as well. DM, SOB and PG were all.another year ove 30. OK had a winning team at the end of the league last year and took it apart. Jack nearly did the same. But he was ruthless enough to make the changes at HT

Napoleon used to always ask if he was appointing a general

''was he lucky''

Leaders always make there own luck Jack is the same

Congratulations to Kerry marvelous to see a player like Clifford get his all Ireland. Privileged to see a man with such talent. Also happy for jack O’Connor who seems a decent fella by all accounts. It’s a very thin line between success and failure but. Hailed a genius for half time changes when the dogs on the street said Moran and geanny were finished

PK was probably unlucky with the result against Tyrone last year, but the sword of Damacles hung over him after the Cork defeat the year before.

Trump will be back for more, I hope Moran isn’t 🙈 no offense, great servant, pace is gone. Good game against Dublin, bar the handling issue that cost a goal, time has come.
