Every time Kerry play it's the same stuff about if the Kerry forwards click. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 11/07/2019 09:59:46 2209361 Link 1 |
You're dead right . It's always easy click against weaker opposition. Same aul rubbish every time.

I hope Kerry win so that the Kerry lads on here have something else to talk about other than Dublin keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/07/2019 10:51:48 2209388 Link 3 |
We'll see on Sunday I think Kerry have a lot of improving to do and Mayo are gathering momentum,going to an interesting super 8's this year I think.

Interesting to read Dara O'Sé's Irish Times column this week. He suggested Sean O'shea should start in midfield. He'd likely get on more ball there facing Mayo's goal, than he would with his back to goal on the 40 with Lee Keegan up his hole.

I think this is the game Kerry have been gearing towards all year, the first of the super eights. ( By the way I hate the term supers eights). DLlegends (Donegal) - Posts: 503 - 11/07/2019 12:49:47 2209461 Link 2 |
If we're good enough we will win, if we're not we won't - simples. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 11/07/2019 13:07:56 2209474 Link 1 |
I like the idea of O'Shea starting in midfield but only if they had a physical presence to compliment him. Barry hasn't maintained the form I thought he was capable of but he's still Kerry's best bet as a partner in there as David Moran looks way off in terms of fitness. I reckon Kerry take this one simply because I think they'll take their chances better than Mayo will. Kerry will be a lot cuter and wiser about Mayo now after the 2 losses, they need to pace themselves better for one thing. As Dara said, they need some dirty ball winners and personalities that can rile that Mayo defense up. I think some Kerry lads are gonna step up and take that chance. As good as that Mayo back line is, they're still coughing up chances. Chances that I see Kerry's forwards punishing ruthlessly. Geaney to have a return to form and Kerry by 3. I am genuinely jealous of anyone going to this game as I reckon the atmosphere will be electric keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 11/07/2019 13:17:49 2209483 Link 0 |
The following games might not be very 'interesting'. Cork/Roscommon: Both could be out before they meet. Kerry v Meath: Meath could be already out; and, even less 'interesting' if Kerry already through. Tyrone v Dublin: Both could be through when they meet leading to a farcical game like the Galway/Monaghan game in 2018. We also had the farcical Kerry/Kildare game: Kildare were already out and, as word filtered through from Galway, Kerry were also slipping out rapidly. However, on the positive side, we will have some brilliant games starting with Kerry/Mayo on Sunday next. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 263 - 11/07/2019 13:47:53 2209498 Link 0 |
I know what you mean, I just call it the 8s .

This group could potentially go down to points difference if 3 teams finish on the same points. So it is must win for Kerry and Donegal too. Mayo, if they slip up v kerry, face the potential whipping boys of the group in croke park followed by a home tie. They could be sitting on a healthy goal average going into the last game with a win sufficient to go through. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 11/07/2019 14:19:07 2209512 Link 0 |
Matthew Ruane James Carr Stephen Coen Michael Plunkett James McCormack Conor Diskin Ciaran Tracey Fionn McDonagh All 23 or under and either starting or have been in the match day squad for championship. Plenty others who aren't breaking into the match day squad yet. Galway2019 (Galway) - Posts: 55 - 11/07/2019 16:18:59 2209577 Link 0 |
My figures are corrrect. I took the team named to play v Galway (had to start somewhere) and of that 15 only one, Fionn McDonagh is under 23. And only 1 other starter, James Carr is also under 23. Stephen Coen also started but he is 23 and, therefore, not under 23. Aibrean (Kerry) - Posts: 263 - 11/07/2019 20:41:37 2209683 Link 0 |

I think Meath will preform well Meath have form of playing well as the underdog against the better teams jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 11/07/2019 21:14:47 2209699 Link 1 |
If Donegal are in any way complacent then Meath have a chance. But I think at Ballybofey ye'll be switched on. Ye should have reached the semis last year. That defeat to Tyrone has to be something to be used to maintain focus this time round. Defeat at home cannot be contemplated. I think ye'll have too much for Meath.

Peter Keane would be under tremendous pressure if he were to be the 1st manager to loose in Killarney in 24 years and as a Kerry fan I hate to say it but it's true. I think it would put a real downer on his new term and the young team he's building. We need to show that we can beat a top team when they look us in the eye and are with us down the home straight and no doubt Mayo will be in the game until the final whistle. Mayo supporters are different from others, they seem to have more of an effect on their team than other counties and have the ability of giving their team the motivation to stay in the game no matter what until the bitter end.
