2018 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

It is a surprise to have Kerry out before the semi finals. Kerry are the aristocrats of Gaelic football with 37 All Ireland titles. Prior to this season, Kerry had made 15 out of 17 semi finals since the re-structuring of the Championship in 2001.

They’ve made 0 out of 1 since the restructuring of the Football Championship in 2018.

This might have happened, can’t remember.

I’d love to see Monaghan in the AI final.

Kieran Hughes is just on a bit of mediocre form and hasn’t made much impact off the bench lately.

The plus side is we have decent subs with Hughes, Duffy and McCarron in the forwards, although McCarthy would be the closest thing to an impact sub we’d have if he didn’t start.

Chucks_Nwoko · August 5, 2018, 9:17am

Can’t see McCarthy starting the next day.
Isn’t Malone Nudie’s nephew? Or is that Woods? I think all 3 are related. Malone is the kinda lad that’d go to war for you.

The only team they lost to from outside Munster this year was the only team they beat from outside Munster last year. It’s the slipping standards in Kerry that have caught them, not the change in format. Unfortunately for the rest of the country this looks like merely a temporary blip and they will be back dominating within a few years.

How’s your so-called top 4 getting on this year mate?

Cicero_Dandi · August 5, 2018, 11:50am

What?

Matty_Hislop · August 5, 2018, 11:51am

The top 4 you are constantly telling us about. How are they getting on?

Cicero_Dandi · August 5, 2018, 11:51am

I think it’s others who constantly bring up the top 4.

Matty_Hislop · August 5, 2018, 11:52am

No it’s you mate, can you not recall who your top 4 are?

Cicero_Dandi · August 5, 2018, 12:03pm

I’m afraid you must be confusing me with someone else.

I told people to be cautious about Kerry as they had beaten nobody yet this year. I also predicted the demise of Mayo this year.

GeoffreyBoycott · August 5, 2018, 12:07pm

After winning 5 All Ireland’s in the 2000’s with the team of the decade, it was inevitable there would be a bit of a tail off. Kerry will be back at the top table soon, stronger than ever.

Matty_Hislop · August 5, 2018, 12:26pm

Then why did you repeatedly place Kerry and Mayo in your top 4?

Cicero_Dandi · August 5, 2018, 12:28pm

It wasn’t my top 4, mate.

Matty_Hislop · August 5, 2018, 12:33pm

It was

Kerry are now seeing the consequences of a decade of poor underage teams up to 2014 . The departure of the noughties teams have revealed a lot of very average players .
