Best of luck lads. Zero pressure from home and total Sense of complacency among the Kerry supporters. Have to feel this will spread among the Kerry players who would have been expecting a Donegal or Galway on the final. Blueprint is there to try and limit Clifford to 5 points and Callinan to keep up with Paidi. Will ye give them the short kick out and press up. Or will Kobe move out to 11.i don't think Kerry can handle his creativity and engine in the middle. One thing I'll be looking out for is the likes of Kobe getting smashed off the ball through a body check etc. Kerry will history of the dark arts in finals and the referee will need to be aware of this. No harm bringing it up in media the next few days.

Replying To Beelzedub: "Dubs won 6 in a row, and hold the longest unbeaten run in championship football history.
That'll do pig. That'll do.
All the best to Kerry catching up with that, rub of the green 2026 merchants." Might have a chance if the move the semi finals and final to be played in Killarney!!

Replying To Commodore: "That is what Fine Gael members have been telling themselves for over 100 years, to cope with the fact that they betrayed a group of their fellow Countrymen for their selfish partial freedom. Also the fact that most ROI Unionists and their descendants tend to be FG members or voters (block vote) probably contributes to that pro-British historical narrative.
The truth is more simplistic, Ireland as a single state democratically voted by a clear 70% majority for independence in 1918. Regardless of how much a Unionist minority huffed, puffed and burned stuff, the Country had voted by a landslide. Voting in January 1922 for that Treaty provided the British Government and Unionists with the legal framework to formally partition six Counties, as Irish TDs had now voted in favour of it.
The influence of the RC church in the decades that followed on ROI policy and institutions was terrible, but that is a different debate. I will say though that its similar to Protestant ideology influence on British and Unionist governance, and all of them perpetrated horrendous abuse in a wide variety of ways and most escaped conviction." All in the past.
Future starts now.
Get on with it.

Replying To hlynch12: "Pat Spillane reckons on Ondo podcast kerry could win by 15-20 pts" If Kerry were blessed to beat an average Dublin team they are not going to beat anyone by 15 points.
Least of all a team with a forward line which if it has a going day will potentially take that Kerry full back line for 2/3 goals.
Mayo for me.

Replying To MunsterFan: "Great player no doubt but you're going a bit far with the Michael Jordan comparison. I'd argue - as would many others I believe - that Maurice Fitz was the best player of most of the era Canavan played in. Can't be Michael Jordan if you weren't clearly the best player of your generation." Maurice Fitz was great no doubt but the Kerry Centric GAA media over do it a bit and embellish his exploits in the way they wouldn't do for a non Kerry Player.
I think countrywide Canavan would get the nod in that debate from the majority of Gaelic football followers.

Replying To endgame: "Galway had a great team in the 80s but they lost three out of the five All Ireland finals they contested. Finnerty, Keady , McInerney was surely the best half back line in hurling history. Galway hurlers don't play well in All Ireland finals. 21 losses for Galway in 26 finals speaks for itself. Contrast with Tipperary who always turn up in All Ireland finals. Can't recall Tipp ever being hammered in an All Ireland final." Can't argue with Tipperary hurling All Ireland win ratio which is at 69% in finals.
Tipperary All Ireland Hurling Finals
Total appearances: 42
Total Wins: 29
Total Losses: 13
Win Ratio: 69%
Kilkenny All Ireland Hurling Finals
Total appearances: 61
Total Wins: 36
Total Losses: 25
Win Ratio: 59%

Replying To Saynothing: " Replying To Commodore: "1- Stephen Cluxton - The benchmark for keepers that followed.
2- Marc O' Se
3- Neil McGee
4- Lee Keegan
5- Colm Boyle - Warrior at wing back for that great Mayo team from 2011 - 2020
6- James McCarthy - Midfielder who reverted to No 6, replaced Cian O'Sullivan, who was a class act too.
7- Karl Lacey
8- Brian Fenton - Arguably the best midfield ever.
9- Aidan O'Shea - Often overlooked, but consistently played at the pinnacle of the game for 15 years and was key.
10- Colm "The Gooch" Cooper - Class player, he even racked up scores in the games lost to Tyrone in the 2000s.
11- Diarmuid connolly - Combination of pace, power and raw talent, brilliant player.
12- Michael Murphy - He was usually double marked for most of his prime years, beast of a player, unbelievable drive and energy,
13-<b> Conor Mc manus</b> - One of the best 3 forwards I have ever seen.
14-<b> David Clifford </b>- Is in the running to be the overall best player I have ever seen so far.
15- <b>Peter Canavan </b>- One of the best forwards I ever witnessed, even in his later years when his pace diminished, he was still so so dangerous."</div>I like Aidan O Shea and everything he has done for Mayo football from minor to present. But Sean Cavanagh has to get in the 15." Cavanagh was a Stephen Gerrard type footballer (to compare with another sport)…all over the field, all action and could score. yew_tree (National) - 24/07/2026 16:12:33

Well here we go again….another final. Nice buzz around the county this week but somewhat grounded all the same. Can we do it? Yes we can but match ups, kickouts, intensity and kicking is going to have to spot on. I also firmly believe a curve ball from management will be needed to stop this Kerry team…what that is I don't know. Traveling in anticipation and as always hope. Safe traveling to all supporters. See ye on the other side.
