That AKA has lots of levels of tragic.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "I think there is pressure on kerry tbh.
Theyre hot favourites against a team who they shouldn't be hot favourites against, and their record against Dublin since 2011 is abysmal,even the 22 semi which they won could have easily gone Dublins way.
Kerry dont like the sight of the Dublin jersey.
Another defeat to their old rivals will sting and they know it."
Ahem. The Dublin - Kerry rivalry was built upon a "neutral" Croke Park. Taking on Dublin in their current day home league ground since 2011 is an entirely different dynamic.

You just agreed with me in your last post.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "He has a different media approach to his predecessors. All part of the crack. Game won't be won in an interview.

Dublin v Kerry always a great day no matter what the result and very much looking forward to it.

You will be most welcome to our "home ground" legend. Will Kerry folk know how to get there??"
Win or not - there's usually good craic between supporters. Dublin supporters were very sporting in 2009, which turned out to be the last "neutral" Croke Park championship clash. Likewise after the 2011 clash, which was the first championship clash in Dublin's new home league ground.

I was in the minority who wanted Armagh away in Round 3. I had a feeling that Kerry would need that challenge ahead of Dublin at the business end of the championship. While there was silly loose talk from some ahead of the Tyrone clash, feet are firmly on terra firma ahead of the trip to Dublin's current day home league ground.

Croke Park has been Dublin's home league venue since the league began in the 1920s. With the exception of a short sojourn in Parnell for about 10/11 years in my reckoning.
