Which Dublin game?
The 2011 final and to a lesser extent the 2013 semi, which I thought Dublin Won a bit more comfortably than was said at the time.
They still failed to close out winning positions in both those games.
Iâd put 2013 down as Eamon Fitzmauriceâs best managerial performance. Dublin had a considerably better team than Kerry that year and he rattled the fuck out of them.
If Declan OâSullivan had put that chance over the bar with a minute and a half left Kerry were in a tremendous position and may well have won.
He got as lucky in 2014 as any manager has ever done.

Id say Nembo Kid cowrote that one
Brolly is being a bit ridiculous. They lost 9 big games but also managed to win a good few of them. He could equally say that Tyrone have lost X championship games in the same period because they only won 3 All Irelands and as such mustâve lost a load of games too.

That post is seriously dumb
You really have to laugh at the term âwinning positionâ.
You are in a winning position when the ball is thrown in.
Games are 70 mins long.end of
Yes, so it shouldnât be that big a deal to see out a lead for a few minutes if you have the correct bottle for it.
Or the opposition have the talent or squad to get thru.
You are some fucking eejit.
Or they didnât have the bottle to see it through.
Those Cusacks are a horrible pair of deviants.

No, Kevin, youâre not in a winning position when the ball is thrown in. Nor are you in a losing position. Thatâs kind of the whole point of the game starting at 0-0 each.
This applies equally to hurling and football, by the way.
End of.
Pick it apart, so.
Tyrone had to come through an attritional Ulster championship every season. If you canât see the advantage Kerry had in that regard then you need not bother developing your points any further. When you also take into account the tragic loss of McAnallen and the injury problems encountered by the likes of McGuigan, OâNeill, McGinley and others over that period then youâre not looking at things in the big picture.
Kerry have had the advantage over the past 15 years of being able to rest players up and keeping them fresh for the latter stages of the Championship. Ulster teams donât have that luxury and have never had.
