@myboyblue can you do something about the GAA Hour webpage for next year? When you click onto the GAA Hour tab on that website, there is no link to the podcast anywhere. Itâs ridiculous.
Instead, in order to listen to the All-Ireland final review podcast you have to click on some article about Kieran McGeeney and Sean Cavanagh.
Also, can you get them to stop using the word âbloodyâ in their headlines. It looks retarded in print.
She can Fuck off.
Keegan is class
Donât be talking about Tyrone in the same breath as Dublin and Kerry so when it comes to a culture of winning ruthlessness if thatâs the criteria used in Tyrone to get another 3 year term.
Whatâs Kerryâs recent culture like? Second fiddle to Dublin?
Applauding convicted rapists, complaining about drink driving laws, poisoning eagles and being gormless simpletons at the Rose of Tralee.
If by ârecentâ, youâre referring to the 5 year tenure of Eamonn Fitzmaurice, its 5 Munster Championships, 1 All Ireland and 1 National League. Thatâs just not good enough in Kerry and thatâs why there is such a clamour down there to get rid of him.
With the introduction of the Super 8s next year, it looks to me like the semi finals will be:
Dublin vs Losers of Kerry vs Mayo
Winners of Kerry vs Mayo vs Best of the rest
Correct me if Iâm wrong here, but in the sample new format for 2017, did they not have Dublin and Tyrone in the same Super 8 group, along with the beaten Munster and Connacht finalists or the team that beat them?
ie.
Dublin
Tyrone
Mayo
Galway
with the other group being:
Kerry
Roscommon
Monaghan
Armagh
So in 2018, based on it being a Leinster v Connacht and Munster v Ulster year under the previous format, the groups would be:
Leinster winners, Connacht winners, Ulster runners-up, Munster runners-up.
ie. based on expected results, Dublin and Mayo would be in the same group.
Iâd Kerry will struggle to make the last 4 next year mate. Their luck of handy QF draws should be over with Super 8s.
You could be right Sid but I recall thinking it weird when it was first announced. They said one group would have Connacht and Munster winners and other group would have Ulster winners and Leinster winners.
I think Iâll try and get to the bottom of it on my bus journey home this evening.
Theyâll win Munster mate and at least get top 2 in their group imo
They wonât even if they regress . The standard outside the big two and next two is average .
I doubt it, mate. Couldnât see them beating Dublin, Mayo or Tyrone.
Kerry are the third best team by some distance.
Doubt it, mate. They were made look average by the likes of Cork and Galway this year.
Well, they drew with Mayo this year, so I could see it.
They were blessed to draw and then blessed to only lose the replay by 5 points.
They beat Galway comfortably.
I imagine the Kerry team next year will be significantly different.
Itâs too far away yet to tell how good theyâll be but they had a bit of a false dawn this year as regards the younger players.
I do think Donaghy, Donncha Walsh and even Darran OâSullivan would be significant losses to bear for them if they depart as all were still integral components of their team this year whether from the start or off the bench.
