Replying To KingdomBoy1: "It's called the minor football championship kid. And if you look up the minor football roll of honor you'll see that it's a legitimate 5 in a row , the first ever in men's football." Since we're being accurate, U17s aren't men, so it's not a 5 in a row in men's football. ;) WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2037 - 14/05/2019 06:38:10 2183874 Link

Replying To GeniusGerry: "Was going to say that. Most counties would be well happy with 2 all Ireland's and several final appearances in ten years. Days of Kerry dominating are gone but they've been there or thereabouts most years still." Considering you basically get a bye into All Ireland 1/4 Finals now Super 8's. Im sure alot more counties would have similar records if they had that luxury (Tyrone, Monaghan, Donegal 2 examples) DundalkGael (Louth) - Posts: 891 - 14/05/2019 15:41:19 2184018 Link

Two all irelands in 10 years and probably lucky to get 2 from our performances in the last few years is still not great but better then rest outside of the dubs.

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "They are men down here ." That might be why they haven't followed up any of the wins with an U20/21 title. Better to pick kids for minor who have a bit of growing to do. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2037 - 15/05/2019 06:41:29 2184198 Link

Kerry have simply been better than the above for most of the past decade with the exception of Donegal for a brief period. Mayo were a better team than Kerry over that time and had a similarly easy path to the QF's as Connacht has been dreadful in the recent past and they can't match Kerry's record either. How do you explain that? GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 15/05/2019 10:18:39 2184245 Link
Replying To WanPintWin: "That might be why they haven't followed up any of the wins with an U20/21 title. Better to pick kids for minor who have a bit of growing to do." We would have won last years U20s if we had Clifford or seanie Shea but our senior team needed them. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 15/05/2019 10:18:53 2184246 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "We would have won last years U20s if we had Clifford or seanie Shea but our senior team needed them." We'll put an asterisk beside Kildare's title so. Let me know if there are any other titles you want to claim. We'll update the record books. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2037 - 15/05/2019 11:25:39 2184262 Link

Replying To WanPintWin: "We'll put an asterisk beside Kildare's title so. Let me know if there are any other titles you want to claim. We'll update the record books." Kildare won their title fair and square. Missing O'Shea and Clifford had a big bearing on Kerry's U20 team last year though I think it is fair to say. They'll be missing Clifford again this year as he is still underage, and probably Diarmuid O'Connor too. The only other successful minor team to have a crack at an U20 / 21 title was in 2017 when they lost the semi to Galway. People love to run Kerry down and make out like all of these minor teams have failed to kick on when in fact they have only had two attempts at titles beyond minor, and one of them severely weakened with the loss of two transcendent underage talents.

We'd have won the year before as well only for mark the shark O'Connor going to Oz. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 15/05/2019 12:08:37 2184274 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "If we don't we Sam can we say we would of won it if Donegal Boston didn't need Diarmuid Connolly?" No you can't say that clon ad ye won the allireland without Connolly last year. You could say it about Paul Flynn though. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 15/05/2019 12:29:03 2184278 Link
