This game is sink or swim for Kerry this year and surely the managements last chance but that has been said for the last few years despite bizarres substitutions and match tactics time after time. KY4SAM2015 (Kerry) - Posts: 898 - 16/07/2018 17:53:26 2122835 Link 0 |
I think you have to remember that Fermanagh beat Monaghan this year, Kerry were caught a bit flat footed against a very good Galway team who have the beating of anybody, though the loss on Conroy will affect them going forward, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2757 - 16/07/2018 18:00:41 2122838 Link 0 |

Would love to see Monaghan win this and make the semi final but can't see Kerry losing this one. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2410 - 16/07/2018 19:25:51 2122864 Link 0 |
I suspect Kerry are doomed. Monaghan will replicate the Galway plan. Kerry have to many lightweight highly skilled fancy Dan players which don't fit the modern 'puke football' culture. handpassking (Galway) - Posts: 433 - 16/07/2018 19:26:21 2122865 Link 2 |
In fairness all counties have troughs and peaks in their support. The difference is the hardcore is greater in some. I mean the Kerry Limerick Mayo Cork q/f double header had only 21k at probably majority Mayo whose support has ramped up given they were a top 2/3 team for 6 consecutive years. I remember living in Donegal when we were last going well and went to a few of their league and championship games. Good hardcore but often outnumbered by some of the teams going well at the time like Armagh. Donegal have big support now while Armagh's has come back to the pack. A few yrs ago was at a league playoff with Dublin in Portlaoise where they outnumbered us 3 to 1 yet our championship meeting last year in Tullamore we had 80% of the support. Galway football has a decent hardcore but need a really good team to get the marginals out. On Kerry strange to think there was a really impressive crowd of 16k at their Munster semi v Clare yet they had by far the smallest support of the four teams yesterday. Will have to make do with radio on Sunday for the Clones game as will be driving home from Newbridge or nowhere. Think Kerry will get a reaction on Sunday. Should be a tasty contest.

Will be a very close affair, hopefully we come out on top. Monaghan Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 442 - 16/07/2018 20:41:38 2122893 Link 0 |
Yeah the legendary low cost Monaghan diesel, engines are expensive though, kind of outweighs the savings.

Have to say I saw enough puke football in Croke Park during the Galway Kerry match yesterday to last a lifetime & not a fancy Dan among them.

Tough game to predict this one, heart says Monaghan head doesn't know. Usually asking the question, if both teams played to their best who would win, is a sound prediction method, Just don't know how good Kerry are. They have the individual's and a mix of experience to be very good but seem lacking in team structure, or at least they were on Sunday. I would expect that to the emphasis in the Kingdom this week. It had been a long time since they had a proper competitive game. mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 17/07/2018 10:30:22 2123035 Link 0 |
I would never ever write Kerry off ,for me the Galway game was just a rotten day at the office that can happen to anyone , for me this Kerry team will still have a big say on this years championship, they'll win next Sunday and then watch out. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 17/07/2018 10:51:12 2123050 Link 1 |
Kerry will bite back unfortunately. That was their bad match out of the way. Will be more difficult to keep up the intensity for a 2nd week in a row and Kerry have more to give. I think Darren is being asked to play in a different role this year. Before he always did a lot of direct runs trying for scores.now he is more of a sweeper behind the midfield.good to see Kieran come on.he was rusty against laois but had the know how against kildare to maintain possession. He can only get better. Could see Colin Walsh on the bench but they would only introduce him if the game is in the melting pot. God it would be great to be guaranteed a semi final spot with a result on Sunday. Be interesting to see who picks up Clifford and geaney. Drew just couldn't handle them. Flynn burnt him too many times on sunday. Ryan would do a job on either of them. Not sure who else. montheman (Monaghan) - Posts: 28 - 17/07/2018 12:05:42 2123081 Link 0 |
I would expect a big Kerry performance think they will come out like possessed after a week of scalding. If Monagahan can contain them for 25 mins and stop ball going into the forward line and really frustrate them, then i think Kerry could cough up a lot of scoreable frees in McManus or Rory range. If the game is still in the melting pot after 25 mins we have a real game. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 17/07/2018 12:08:08 2123082 Link 1 |
