Replying To The_Fridge: "Kerry (All-Ireland SFC v Tyrone): Shane Ryan; Brian O Beaglaoich, Jason Foley, Tom O'Sullivan; Mike Breen, Paul Murphy, Gavin White; David Moran, Jack Barry; Diarmuid O'Connor, Sean O'Shea, Stephen O'Brien; David Clifford, Paul Geaney, Paudie Clifford. Subs: Kieran Fitzgibbon, Adrian Spillane, Tadhg Morley, Gavin Crowley, Killian Spillane, Tommy Walsh, Micheal Burns, Graham O'Sullivan, Jack Sherwood, Pa Kilkenny, Dara Moynihan." A team to be respected, certainly not feared. With Dooher calling tactical shots I give Tyrone a fighters chance. Hope they can bring that controlled aggression and rattle Kerry. Stop fast ball going into Kerry forward line and they just may struggle. DLlegends (Donegal) - Posts: 503 - 28/08/2021 07:01:43 2375356 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "No yerrah bud, Tyrone aren't just coming down to give us a game out of the goodness of their hearts, they'll be coming to win and rightly so. But this is an ideal situation for Mayo now sitting back tomorrow watching Tyrone and Kerry knock lumps out of eachother knowing any knocks or injuries picked up will be hard to recover from in 2 weeks." I'm sure they're not, and they certainly won't lie down the way Cork did. But taking things at face value, all the factors point to a comfortable Kerry win. Maybe Fergal Logan has something up his sleeve, who knows? You could say that two weeks is too short to shake off injuries, but equally that four weeks is too long to avoid staleness. Final talk is for after Sunday anyway. Kerry by six or seven for me. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 28/08/2021 09:04:20 2375360 Link
Tyrone simply need to stay in the game towards the final 10 minutes and they have every chance. A passive start plays into Kerrys hands. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 28/08/2021 10:26:11 2375366 Link
I tipped Kerry at the start of the year and they are favourites and rightly so. That being said, is it unthinkable that Tyrone win? I don't think so. The build up has been messy for both sides and there will be a lot of mind games going on in the background. I am looking forward to it hopefully Tyrone can make it messy and be right in it at half time. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7904 - 28/08/2021 11:02:27 2375373 Link
I think this game could be a belter. Both teams know their strength is in their attack. The full back line and midfield are probably the weakest points on both teams. We haven't seen McShane in full flow this year and I think this could be the perfect game for him. I still think Kerry will win. It feels like Tyrone are coming into the game with a background of their own version of 'yerraism' but I don't think Kerry will be complacency. You can smell the desperation off Kerry to win this All Ireland. I think they're even annoyed they weren't the ones to dethrone Dublin.

I dint think Doiher is going to just fulfil a fixture. I would have serious doubts about their levels of fitness in sweltering heat today after covid. The big question is which of them had it badly as they can be ruled out for today. Are these ones their big time players? The Mattie Donnelly s or Peter Hartes, etc ? If they have to go to battle without these lads it's going to be tougher for them to win anything. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 28/08/2021 12:29:32 2375392 Link
Congrats to Meath. Hard luck Tyrone. Cracker of a game Forpucksake (UK) - Posts: 130 - 28/08/2021 14:27:36 2375418 Link
Spillane is rolling over here and begging forgiveness from ukSean, never thought I'd see the day. Tyrone were the team of the decade and puke football was a wrong thing to label that great Tyrone team with, fair play to Spillane for saying he's sorry at least at last for that stupid comment. Closer this gets to throw in the more I think Tyrone have a real chance, Kerry seem a bit rattled by the postponement. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2754 - 28/08/2021 15:11:41 2375439 Link

Good row between Kavanagh and Spillane at the start of the show. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 28/08/2021 15:21:30 2375444 Link
Tyrone are really putting it up to Kerry, fair play to them. Anyone else having issues with RTE player? Ronan1989 (Donegal) - Posts: 81 - 28/08/2021 16:04:47 2375452 Link
Kerry making lots of unforced errors, tyrone look far more composed, although kerry defence going well in terms of bottling up tyrone attacks. Good game so far. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1714 - 28/08/2021 16:05:59 2375453 Link
Going pretty much as I expected. The only question that remains to be answered now about this fixture is regarding Kerry's management Running the ball through Tyrone's defence is ludicrous. Target man needed. STILL a 50/50 match mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 28/08/2021 16:07:41 2375454 Link
Replying To Ronan1989: "Tyrone are really putting it up to Kerry, fair play to them. Anyone else having issues with RTE player?" My issue is with the RTE GAA coverage, I wish BBC NI were covering this game, Tyrone have to cut out the bad wides though, Kerry will get a purple patch. Niall Morgan what an amazing score.

STILL a 50/50 match" Yes kerry playing in to Tyrones hands in that half. Can they make the adjustments needed at halftime. Interesting contest here, I'd agree it's probably a 50/50 from here GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 28/08/2021 16:16:11 2375459 Link
Replying To essmac: "Wake me up when it's over tbh. Expect a poor, niggly game, with bad refereeing, and a tiring Tyrone parking the bus cos they can't run in he last quarter etc. Kerry at a canter. Hopefully, we'll have a more meaningful game next year." Can you repeat that please. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2908 - 28/08/2021 16:16:58 2375460 Link

What an incredible kick from Niall Morgan for the last score of the first half! Tyrone doing very well so far- it will be interesting to see if they can maintain the intensity level for the entire second-half. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 28/08/2021 16:26:34 2375468 Link

Interesting contest here, I'd agree it's probably a 50/50 from here" Tyrone gamble over the past few weeks definitely paying off for them & the extra bit of training has helped. Only seeing one winner at the moment. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 28/08/2021 16:32:12 2375470 Link
Jeez, good game but both teams losing the ball easy, kerry could be 3 points up but they keep going for goal, running into the defence. A good mayo performance in the final should beat either of these. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1714 - 28/08/2021 16:37:54 2375472 Link
