They were 5/2 last weekend to win.

And they didn’t win.

They drew with the dubs last year and pushed them to the pin of their collar in the replay. Yet we’re rank outsiders versus an average kerry side.

Thats Kerry in the semi final though, you were speaking towards them being written off in an All Ireland Final against a Tyrone side they kept at arms length in last years semi final.

Your not factoring in the media reaction if tyrone beat the dubs.

Dont the media dislike Tyrone?

[Nembo_Kid]

Nope. They’ve came through every knockout tie to date.

[Nembo_Kid]

Ah this is only this side’s third year on the circuit as a serious contender. They’re at where Mayo were in 2013 so to speak.

[anon32894817]

That’s two big hurdles to overcome.

Did they win?

Kerrys preparation comtinues to be a question for me.

I did a bit of research for an article should them and Dublin meet and the injury records are stark. Dublin are pretty much always full strength bar Killkennys injury and a few niggles here and there.

Kerry are forever under Fitzmaurice playing undercooked players. JOD and Maher the most significant.

You’re overplaying Dublin’s lack of injuries.

Kilkenny obviously did his cruciate in 2014. O’Gara also did his cruciate.

James McCarthy, Paul Flynn, Michael Darragh Mc Auley and Jonny Cooper have all had pretty serious medium term or chronic injuries and/or have played when undercooked.

Injury effectively ended Ger Brennan’s inter-county career.

Cormac Costello is constantly injured.

Alan Brogan had injuries which basically kept him out of inter-county football from the 2012 Leinster final until 2015.

You play your best players in All-Ireland semi-finals. James O’Donoghue would have to be not fit to walk to not be starting for Kerry in such a match.

[caoimhaoin]

What a nonsense. They drew 2 of them you fucking twaat.

You are fooling nobody

[caoimhaoin]

Not if they are not of incredible value where them at 70% is better than anyone else.

JOD is not that.

And the rest is rubbish. Dublin have always got their players right for big games and they nearly always perform. They don’t play otherwise, unless at least close to fit.

And this is an absolute fact straight from a former management members mouth.

Anthony Maher played last year after i guessti.ate 1 &1/2 games played in the entire year. He has not had a huge lot more this year and its clear he has not been the same man since he went for that unecessary operation.

Its poor management and also tells the rest of them they are not good enough

And Kerry haven’t?

James O’Donoghue is the best forward in Ireland on his day.

You play him unless he can’t walk.

Any manager would.

Jim Gavin certainly would as he started Paul Flynn for the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons despite Flynn clearly being hampered by chronic injury.

[Nembo_Kid]

They are still in the Championship last 4.

[caoimhaoin]

Ah no you don’t. Thats the thinking of the 80’s.

And JOD is no more the best player in the country than you are ffs.

When did he last play a good full game?

Not since 2014

[caoimhaoin]

So.

You still got it wrong 3 times with them

[Sidney]

@caoimhaoin

Ah no you don’t. Thats the thinking of the 80’s.

It’s very much contemporary thinking, as shown by the lengths players will go to get themselves ready for All-Ireland semi-finals and finals.

And it’s far from unique to GAA as it happens regularly in other sports too.

@caoimhaoin

When did he last play a good full game?

You must have missed the Munster final this year.

@myboyblue

if they get past Kerry, and face Tyrone, they’ll be meeting a side they beat in the semi final 12 months previously.

Mayo beat Tyrone in the quarter final last year mate. #pointoforder

@Sidney

You know Brolly wrote an article for Sunday’s paper in which he specifically advocated putting Aodhan O’Se on Donaghy?

Seriously? What a twat.

Still what else would you expect from a pig but a grunt.

[glasagusban]

Link?

[Sidney]

Joe Brolly - Mayo should urinate on patronising newspaper columns of ex-Kerry...

[Nembo_Kid]

Incorrect, they won their ties, otherwise they would not have progressed this far.
