Dublin v Kerry SFC Semi Final

Kerrys footpassing today has been a joy to behold

Would somebody ever come out and bury that McCauley

Listening on Radio 1…

This sounds like a champagne game of football.

Best semi final ever?

There is so many inadiquancies on both sides.

O Donoghue winning footballer of the year in one game.

Gooch role is completely different.

This pace suits dubs though

Cracking game so far-Cooper, Galvin and O’Donoghue superb for Kerry up to know. Kerry must kick the ball in training by the looks of things-lesson there for other counties hopefully.

I agree, but the dub backs are only attacking. Only O Carroll and Brennan are bothered actually defending

“The Referee’s a Wanker” rings out from the hill…Dubs fans in not understanding the rules shocker

Red is having a stormer bar penalty, but I can understand he may have only seen Cluxtons part, but it was a free out first for barging.

Kerry tiring already, they won’t finish with 15. Dubs should actually be happy enough.

Kerry doing a great job on kick outs.

Going well for Kerry - JOD, Gooch, Galvin in last 15, Crowley having a great game going forward, Walsh started well, Tomas was good in patches.

Buckley, Griffen and Enright all having awful games, Maher not much better.

Dubs-- Rory O C and Brennan manning the ship well with zero support. Cian O Sullivan having a blinder an Connolly showing well and giving in good ball. Brogan looks dangerous but Dubs will want more from Flynn, Mannion and Killkenny. Doing well enough, but there is more in them.

Serious game of football.

The polar opposite in many ways to the Dublin/Donegal semi a couple of years back and for once a Dublin/Kerry fixture worthy of the hype. Both teams being positive perhaps even to a fault. Kerry should be more than 2 ahead and you get the feeling Dubs have another gear in them yet. That said I think the class that Kerry possess up front(Galvin aside) will see them through here

On 2nd look that goal was a thing of beauty. Precision.

Brennan’s opponent is running the match for Kerry. teams need to man mark the 11 when he is the playmaker.

The fact that it’s Dara Maloney commentating and not Canning or Morrisey making a fuck of it only enhances the games status

Kerry’s tactics seems to be get goals.
With that in mind Kerry are 6/5 to get another goal and 5/1 to get 2 more with Powers.

Kerry will need 2 more to win this as Dublin power on.

Dubs will be glad to go in only two points down.

Kerry forwards are stopping Dublin building up momentum from the back by pressuring straight away. Working well so far, but can they keep it up.

Kerry forwards keep inter changing which seems to be baffling the Dublin backs, and their movement off the ball and ability to find the man in space has been superb.

They are vulnerable down the middle when Dublin get running at them though and as they tire they should be able to exploit that more.

The game will be won by the benches though, not sure kerry have the same strength in depth.

Galvin has been ponderous on the ball, he’s had a poor year by his standards and i don’t think he would have started were his fellow club man not in charge.

If Dublin can plug the gaps at the back then they will win it. They look all over the place there at the moment though.

Just a pity the Dubs No.1 cheerleader, McStay, is alongside him, I actually think the cunt would cheer for the Dubs against Mayo if they end up reaching the All Ireland…Sickening.

Bastick on for Brennan:)

Good shout CLD I’ll follow you on that one

The usual thuggery from Connolly

Kerry slowing game already.

Cluxton having an absolute nightmare. Just kick it long if its not on. Basic kick out strategy.

Dubs only need to be within 2-3 with 15 to go
