Dublin v Kerry SFC Semi Final

He’s a thoroughbred mate, not some scrawny mongrel with bad teeth… oh wait.

i´ll make my way down to fairview for the big match on sunday morning…might go to croker after too…

He has good teeth. He’s a good looking lad. The key will be in who marks him. I’d say Declan O’Sullivan will be the man for the job.

Will you be wearing your Vodafone jersey or the classic Kevin Moran-era retro top? I’m actually just debating at the moment which jersey to wear for next Sunday. I might go with the '95 one but am also thinking about going with the classic '83 jersey with the pinstripes, or perhaps the plainer but no less beautiful '77 jersey. Anyway I hope there won’t be any aggro on the Hill between the fans of these two great rivals. Whichever shade of red you wear, Liverpool or Manchester United, we’re all part of something special - the greatest football competition in the world, the Barclays Premier League™.

The Gah should be interesting too.

Cormac Reilly from Meath will ref the match on sunday…:eek:

Sean O’Sullivan believes Killian Young is “a huge loss” to Kerry.
The Renard clubman has been ruled out of Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Dublin after sustaining a horrific ankle / shin injury in a training match on Saturday and former Kingdom star O’Sullivan says it’s a big setback for the Munster champions.
“Killian is a huge loss,” O’Sullivan told Radio Kerry. "He is a left half-back doing a job at centre back. He has come in for a lot of unfair criticism and he was just coming into his own during the Cavan game.
"It is a huge game for him to miss out on. He would have been an ideal match-up for Ciarán Kilkenny.
"Tomás Ó Sé has always had the better of Diarmuid Connolly, Peter Crowley is the right man for Paul Flynn, Shane Enright will be suited to Paul Mannion and Eoin Brosnan is probably the best man to try keep
tabs on Kilkenny now

another Kerry man coming out telling us how they have the upper hand over the dubs…really bizarre stuff…what ever happened to the cute Kerry hoor ??.. and we haven’t even had Darragh’s second instalment of Kerry’s superiority yet…that will be in tomorrow’s Times…

Jim Gavin is only too well aware of the great tradition that exists between Dublin and Kerry.
It’s something he grew up with and - even though he never had the honour of lining out against the Kingdom on championship day himself - the Dublin boss knows Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final at Croke Park will represent another special chapter in one of the GAA’s greatest rivalries:
“Sure I was born in the 1970s,” Gavin notes in The Irish Times. "My dad would have brought us boys [to] a lot of those games. There is a great tradition that goes back even before the 1970s.
"But the one common thing I suppose is that Kerry have had the upper hand in most of those games.
"They’ve certainly controlled the power base and that has reflected itself in recent years as well, through the 2000s
.
"Now, what we say to our players when they’re playing for the county is that it’s a privilege. It’s a privilege when they get a club jersey to represent their parish or community and it’s a privilege for them to wear the county jersey.
"So it starts at home first of all and it starts with respect. And certainly they have a lot of respect for Kerry.
"We’re under no illusions that what Kerry were doing was just getting over the games, and having won so much, they will know when to peak in the season.
"For them it isn’t about the National League or peaking for Munster finals. It’s about peaking now

Nice to see Jim giving his opponents proper respect…

They’re fucking with your head man. Dont let them in. Go back and read the blue book again, quick.

they’re worried about us…that’s for sure…

Exactly. Usually they wouldn’t care. Just play the usual game. I think the loss of Páidi has shaken em.

Bizarre statement. And a bit disrespectful too I think.

Kerry are bollixed. Eoin Brosnan?!? Come on.

    Eamon knows.

Odds on a delayed throw in with the Liverpool vs Manyoo game only finishing at 3.20.

The Hill will be empty

I heard Liverpool won’t have 11 players to put out so this may be conceded. Hold that bet.
