Maybe the rebels will start the process on Sat evening, I always think Cork are a sleeping giant, it's amazing to think that apart from us beating them in that 2014 semi final they would be heading for 7 in a row most likely,which was a shock win on the day, many of our own fans myself included thought we wouldn't win that day but Jim and the boys had other plans and their homework done, I hope the ref in Killarney this weekend is aware of Cillian O'Connor's antics and cracks down on it early on, should be a great game, Kerry's young guns need to make their mark on the big stage.

Rumours of our imminent demise are greatly exaggerated. Very early days in most of their senior intercounty careers but this is the best attack we have had in many's a year where a bit of fearlessness is refreshing after a few anxious years. Our defence is old, creaky, experienced and streetwise. Our midfield is pretty good. Diarmuid O'Connor and Matthew Ruane are rumoured to be on the way back but this Sunday is too soon. David Clarke is a tidy goalkeeper. I have to admit that I doubted that James Horan would give youth it's flibg in 2019, thinking him too conservative, but fair play to him, nothing ventured nothing gaibed. Will be an interesting Super 8s for us. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7335 - 11/07/2019 11:16:47 2209402 Link 7 |
Are you obsessed with the subject or obsessed with trying to wind up Dublin posters. Either way, you enjoy it more than sleeping at 10 to 12 on a Tuesday night keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/07/2019 11:18:01 2209403 Link 2 |
Mayo are a better team. The outcome will be decide on their mind frame. It will be interesting to see if they can motivate themselves to play kerry after the last couple of weeks. Kerrys season depends on this game they will have to play out of their skin to beat mayo. brisbane (Galway) - Posts: 674 - 11/07/2019 11:33:09 2209416 Link 0 |

This is my busy time of the year, not much time for sleeping zzzz. And I'm not trying to winding up anyone, only telling the truth. Some people can't handle the truth though. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 11/07/2019 13:56:33 2209501 Link 3 |

Kerry could be in bother but are capable of beating Donegal in Croke park. Mayo are defo not finished if they are beaten. They have 2 games left and both are achievible for them. This group is awfully tight. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 11/07/2019 14:26:34 2209520 Link 1 |

Would you not be confident of your running game and the Kerry backline. i see the Donegal game as Kerrys trickiest they are strong in all the areas Kerry are at their weakest and your forwards are better in my opinion. The Mayo game will be touch and go. If i was Donegal i would be delighted with all the attention on the alternate game this week. Its a win/win for them next week regardless of the result.

You're not a friend of Gemma O'Doherty's are ya ;-) Enough about the Dubs KingdomBoy, are you going to the Mayo game? What you reckon? keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/07/2019 15:12:04 2209544 Link 1 |

If Mayo weren't plagued with injuries I'd give Mayo the nod. They are further down the road but injuries to key men will hamper that advantage jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20598 - 11/07/2019 15:34:26 2209553 Link 3 |
Well sure if we had a nice few lads in the middle for games like this who lived in our county, were members of GAA clubs there, who had been brought in to ref Kerry training games during the Championship and who had pictures on their social media of being out celebrating with the county team in the past we wouldn't need to whinge would we ;D

I'm not sure if we'll see the same level as what we saw in 2014 between these 2 but both sets of fans are as bad as each other when it comes to this. Up in arms every time a foul is given against them. I thought Fitzmaurice was right in what he said about Mayo being street smart when it comes to gamesmanship, not in a bad way, just that they know how to play the ref well. Regardless, I think it all adds to the atmosphere though. Both sets of fans will be so hungry to win it will pour out of them. I expect a good Mayo crowd at this one too keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/07/2019 16:04:52 2209571 Link 1 |
No I'm pretty sure you'd whinge anyway!! Kerry people remind me of that Woody Allen joke: Two elderly women are at a Catskill restaurant. One of them says, 'Boy, the food at this place is just terrible.' The other one says, 'Yeah I know. And such small portions.' keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/07/2019 16:29:20 2209583 Link 3 |
would be concerned about the amount of goals Mayo conceding. 4 in 6 games. could easily ship 3 or 4 goals against Kerry if they don't get it sorted centerfield (Mayo) - Posts: 360 - 11/07/2019 17:45:57 2209614 Link 0 |
It's a bit of a myth about giving youth its fling D Clarke; C Barrett, B Harrison, K Higgins; P Durcan, C Boyle, L Keegan ; D Vaughan, A O'Shea; J Doherty, K McLoughlin, C O Connor, will all start the next day That dozen have been around a while at this stage. There are effectively 3 new starters and if D O Connor was fit it would only be 2. In the Roscommon match Horan only had 1 sub on on 68 mins. The only reason he has used subs in the quaifiers is because the first choice lads were dropping like flies. Horan has never trusted his bench and it has cost him in big games V Dublin and Kerry. I wouldn't be that quick to throw out praise tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1103 - 11/07/2019 23:46:28 2209761 Link 0 |
