How come Kerry were so much fitter than Mayo today ? I have to question what their doing down there. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 14/07/2019 18:39:14 2210869 Link
Kerry fantastic, a joy to watch in the first half, they had job done and Mayo kicked a few points in the second half when Kerry eased off. Today the ould legs of Vaughan, Higgins, Boyle, Barrett, o shea were shown up and the young lads just weren't up to that sort of standard.. Meath will relish a chance to finish them off Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 14/07/2019 18:41:53 2210871 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "He only played midfield against us in '13." Watch that 2016 game again lad. He moved out there and cleaned up. Remember sherlock having to tell Cluxton to keep the ball away from him!? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5010 - 14/07/2019 18:46:23 2210876 Link
Replying To DLlegends: "Cliffords free in the first half. OMG what a score. I borrow a soccer phrase used many moons ago "take a bow son, take a bow". Outstanding." Ah yeah the lad is ridiculous! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 14/07/2019 18:52:30 2210882 Link

I'm sure having to play in different stadia around the country four weeks in a row wouldn't have helped. Something you boys will never have to worry about. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 14/07/2019 18:57:54 2210886 Link

That was '17 , he was centre forward in '17 aswell but pushed up on Cluxton's kick outs in the first half and they got joy out of it tbf but he's only twice played midfield against us in '12 and '13. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 14/07/2019 18:58:59 2210887 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "How come Kerry were so much fitter than Mayo today ? I have to question what their doing down there." Youth, 2 Munster games and a bit of rest v our 3 playoff games in quick succession. Plus there's always a pep in your step when you're on the front foot. And Kerry are quite good at football least we forget. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7337 - 14/07/2019 19:02:51 2210891 Link
Replying To neverright: "Seems to be the end of the road for this Mayo team. I believe they were one of the greatest teams ever but never seemed to get that little bit of luck that you need to get just reward for their brilliance." How many times has that been said in recent years!? Douglas_44 (Roscommon) - Posts: 225 - 14/07/2019 19:04:14 2210894 Link
Replying To MesAmis: "Kerry a joy to watch. Outstanding football at various stages. Mayo looked a shadow of their former selves. Why did Clarke keep kicking the ball out to Moran? It epitomised their malaise for me. Mayo not out of it though, they'll beat Meath next weekend and then if Donegal beat Kerry they'll face a second string Donegal side in Castlebar to go through, or if Kerry beat Donegal it'll be a straight shootout at home between themselves and Donegal to go through. Kerry are through to the semi finals after today regardless of the result against Donegal." If Donegal beat Kerry and Mayo beat Meath and then Kerry beat Meath and Mayo beat Donegal. That means 3 teams in 4 points and Mayo would probably go out on score difference. Mayo need Kerry to beat Donegal. Dec82 (Clare) - Posts: 242 - 14/07/2019 19:04:40 2210895 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "How come Kerry were so much fitter than Mayo today ? I have to question what their doing down there." You'd nearly swear they had to play a few weeks in a row or something. SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 589 - 14/07/2019 19:06:59 2210899 Link

Makes me even more annoyed about last weekend. Galway would have given a better game to Kerry, that Mayo effort is sadly abysmal. ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1569 - 14/07/2019 19:20:43 2210906 Link

What a spanking, Horan will need to have a look at himself as well. Doherty and Mcloughlin have to be benched now. And we really need DOC, Ruane and Durcan back. Vaughan and Coen are good athletes but so limited. Need Kerry to win next week and hope we have a kick left. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7885 - 14/07/2019 19:34:31 2210919 Link
Let's not start writing Mayo off yet , they'll beat Meath next weekend then have Donegal in Castlebar with more than likely Durkan , Ruane and D O Conor back so their far from finished imo. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 14/07/2019 19:36:05 2210920 Link

Replying To clondalkindub: "How come Kerry were so much fitter than Mayo today ? I have to question what their doing down there." Fresher and younger side are Kerry. The conditioning advantage that Mayo had for 5 or 6 years is now gone and what is left is a lot of bodies with loads of mileage on the clock. Time doesn't stand still for any man or team!

Vaughan has lost his pace and for some reason he left Coen who has no pace on Kerry's fastest forward the whole game. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 14/07/2019 19:55:52 2210939 Link
