Itâs all set up for Kerry to sneak into the final in cute hoor Aidan OâMahony-esque fashion.
I suggested that to a Kerryman today and it appeals to them like a dinner date with Gazza and Jimmy Five Bellies . They are going very poorly.
Yerra, weâre going fiersh poor alltigither. Weâd have no hope a tall aginst de Dubs, luike.

To be fair Dublin have been beating them since 2011 now so on this occasion the yerras are legal tender .
They didnât beat them 12 days ago.
There are teams that are going well in the league but will do fuck all in the championship - Wexford in hurling, Louth in football.
There are teams that are going shit in the league and will be shit in the championship - Limerick in hurling, Limerick in football.
Then there are teams that are going shit enough in the league but will be excellent in the championship - Clare in hurling, Kerry in football.

You forgot Dublin hurlers from your middle category.
True but in many ways that game was better for Dublin than if they won convincingly .
You could make the same argument for Kerry.
No âpsychological marker laid downâ bullshit like in 2015.
I think Limerick can beat Clare . That said I donât think we will win any more games but Clare are well beatable from a Limerick perspective .
The current Kerry team are pretty average . Kerry have been downsizing for the guts of seven years now . A lot of players are in decline or being replaced by inferior players .
Yerra, sure weâve nutting coming true, like. De Dubs will win de nixt tin in a row. Sure dereâs hardly any point in turning up a tall.
They have serious stuff coming through but a bit early . They will have two average years and 2019 they will be comtenders .
Yerra, sure look it, Iâd be happy with shtaying in Division 1 dish year and maybe a bit of a run in de back door, like. If we got to an All-Ireland quaaartur-foynal 'twud be a succesh.
Theyâve a handy path to the semi final, always seem to get lucky and get one of the weakest sides that come through the qualifiers in the quarters as well as the procession that is Munster.
From winning Munster the last 4 years they have had (in the quarters):
2013 - Cavan
2014 - Galway
2015 - Kildare
2016 - Clare
The Ulster Champions, in contrast, and after a grueling Ulster Championship have had.
2013 - Tyrone
2014 - Armagh
2015 - Tyrone
2016 - Mayo
Monaghan lost both times to Tyrone, Donegal just eked past Armagh by a point and Tyrone lost out to Mayo last year by a point.
About time Kerry were handed a bastard of a quarter final draw.
True enough but define a bastard of a draw ?? There arenât enough good teams to test them TBH .
You look at the sides that have came through the qualifier side of the draw the last 4 years for instance.
2013 Tyrone and Donegal came through the backdoor
2014 Monaghan and Armagh were there
2015 Tyrone and Donegal
2016 Mayo or Donegal
Limerick in the 2011 All-Ireland quarter-final.
We were a serious operation those years . We should have beat the cunts on 2010 Munster final.
Operation (Bow Down To Your) Overlord.
