What’s Dublin’s league record outside Croke Park like in recent years?

About 50/50 over the last five/six years. Have won the last two times in Killarney though.

Their style of play under Gavin is certainly not suited to the slower, seemingly tighter spaces of other county grounds.

Good game, Kerry are excellent on opposition kickouts and seem to force mistakes by pushing up and rattling opposition keepers. Dublin are causing Kerry’s full back line all sorts of problems and Kerry look really uncomfortable when Dublin run at them.

It’s very simple what they do, they don’t mark a man. Most teams roar at guys to pick someone up, but what Kerry do is pack midfield with big men and split everything else.
It’s smart play.

Has to be a black card for Sherwood?

And is.

[Sidney]

Stupid kicking from that distance.

They push up high and seem to restrict the use of short kickouts as well. It would a ballsy move to see them do it at Croke Park against Dublin last year but Donegal did it to great effect last year.

4 black cards for the bastions of “pure football” today. :rolleyes:

How does O’Gara consistently get away with tackling like that?

[Sidney]

Shenanigans…

Violent scenes involving Ulster counties there, oh no wait…

If Kerry win the All-Ireland this year we’ll have to listen to utter shite about how they really won it back in March when they laid down a marker against Dublin, the same way Spillane used to talk shite about how they really won the 1978 All-Ireland when they picked a fight with Dublin in some challenge game in New York.

Some trimming for Monaghan today.

Great result for Fermanagh, looks like it will be Div 2 for them next year.

Kildare in a perilous situation in Div 2.

Kerry laid down a marker there alright, a very big marker.

That’s Westmeath just about safe now :o

They only have to turn up now for the All-Iireland final seeing as they really won it today.

Their manager will set them back years though, meanwhile this star studded Tipp side went down to their second defeat in Ulster this campaign.

Gavin double bluffed by naming such a weak team though. He may very well have mugged Kerry off.

Why is that? He’s a very alright sort is Tom.

Kerry may well have triple bluffed though by not bluffing at all. Playing mind games by not using mind games.
