I believe dude. don't worry about that.

I think people are getting themselves in a twist.

the thread is actually a light hearted comparison between the two championship years of 14 and 17

people getting wound up over the little joke at the end. personality transplants for the majority I think.

Replying To waynoI:  "WELL, if you believe in coincidences that it is....

2014 v 2017 .......

- Dublin played Monaghan in the quarter final (Could happen again)

- The semi final pairings were Leinster/Ulster and Connaught v Munster (same as this year)

- Kerry and Galway met in a quarter final in Croke park (same as this year)

- Kerry beat Clare in a close munster semi final (4 points - 2014, 6 points in 2017), cork beat tipp (2 points in 14, 1 point in 17) in the other semi final, and Kerry went on to record facile victories over cork in the final (12 points - 2014, 11 points 2017

- Ultimately, Mayo knocked Cork out of the championship, Mayo won by a point (2014 2-15 v 1-19.... 2017 0-27 v 2-20

- Mayo played a championship game in Limerick (same this year)

- The ref was escorted off the pitch by gardai and stewards at the gaelic grounds (same this year)

- Galway scored 4-17 in their 4A qualifier game in both years (v Tipp in 14, v Donegal yesterday)

Winning 3 in a row is over-rated anyways...

The stars have aligned perfectly.

We are merely making the numbers up in Dublin, Tyrone, Mayo etc from now until the 17th of September."
Your onto something here Wayno haha

Pretty bad now, take it far too seriously I know but really so disappointed with yesterday

Hermit there's no reason to feel down. You've won 3 minors in a row and after looking after Derry v Dublin first half number 4 is on the way i'd say.

Fitzmaurice might go but ye have no end of managerial talent in the county.

I don't mean to be harsh but if you were born in Leitrim, Laois, Wicklow, Carlow etc you'd probably never see your county win an all-ireland title. It's all relative.

Kerry will be back, as Mick O'Dwyer would say 'i can assure you of that'!

3 years an AI, three years now again waiting on the next, I know the rest of ye are rolling yer eyes up to heaven and asking what is he upset about but as it stands we have only 1 AI this decade so far and that's poor fairing for a county like Kerry.

I guess we just have to accept at the minute the team is average enough by Kerry standards, Mayo the better team over the last two games, no doubt about that.
