Tyrone will be a difficult opponent. Ciarraí abú! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7821 - 04/08/2019 18:30:00 2220731 Link
Kerry will be happy to avoid Dublin. A tough match ahead. Hopefully Tyrone can sneak a win but wouldn't be surprised to see a draw in this match. tyroneed (Tyrone) - Posts: 753 - 04/08/2019 18:40:16 2220738 Link
Replying To legendzxix: "Tyrone will be a difficult opponent. Ciarraí abú!" 50/50 Too many people basing kerry on a performance at Home against an uninterested Mayo side who were ran ragged 4 weeks previously.. If tyrone get a good start it could become problematic for kerry.. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 04/08/2019 18:50:45 2220745 Link
Kerry in the driving seat here. Final beckons and can't see Tyrone managing it. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 04/08/2019 18:52:36 2220748 Link
This Tyrone team are not great, yet. If Kerry can't beat them then they're a long way from where they need to be. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8585 - 04/08/2019 18:56:52 2220749 Link
I feel that Tyrone will prove too strong for Kerry and win it by a few points. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 04/08/2019 18:58:12 2220752 Link
Replying To tyroneed: "Kerry will be happy to avoid Dublin. A tough match ahead. Hopefully Tyrone can sneak a win but wouldn't be surprised to see a draw in this match." As it stands I can't see the porous Kerry defence hold out against free scoring Tyrone forwards especially when the latter run at them at the other end Clifford if fit can expect treatment akin to what Gooch got in 2005 Dishing out the dirt has not entered Mickey Harte' s lexicon of prohibited behaviour Tyrone and Dublin Final as I see it but GAA and Dublin would love Kerry's scalp to be included in the conquest of 5 in a row It's the devil and the deep blue sea for me would not like to see either of the two defeat Kerry but head ruling heart leads me to believe that I will have to grin and bear it and acclaimDublin for what they are an extraordinary team on the cusp of immortality a story for a figure history book . 'Dublin in the rare old times' will be the mantra. 37sowhat (Sligo) - Posts: 752 - 04/08/2019 19:04:05 2220759 Link
Yerra we'll turn up anyway and give it our best. Looking forward to it, 16th semi-final in 19 years not a bad record ;D Up D Kingdom! TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 04/08/2019 19:31:12 2220792 Link

Kerry have held the upper hand in the past few championship meetings. Kerry defensively have improved a lot and id give us a decent shout at winning this. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 04/08/2019 19:43:12 2220806 Link
If Tyrone managed to win it would be first win against a top 3 team in all Ireland knock out in years. Dublin have beat us, Kerry and mayo also have beat us. Can't mind last time we beat any of these teams in knock out football. I'll be going with hope of a win but expecting a defeat.

Kerry by a few. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 04/08/2019 20:16:30 2220822 Link
Both sides will expect to win this one. Tyrone are a gritty and experienced team and I'm not sure Kerry have that hard edge just yet but if we can slow Tyrone running through us we have the forwards. Bookies have Kerry as warm favourites, I hope they are right and we edge it. I can't see more than a few points in it either way. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 04/08/2019 20:16:41 2220823 Link
Tyrone isn't good enough to win this; and the GAA will be doing all they can to set up a Kerry-Dublin grudge final with FIAR at stake; Tyrone won't get too many 50:50 refereeing decisions next weekend, that's for sure. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 04/08/2019 20:35:54 2220832 Link
Good game ahead Think Harte absolutely did the right thing today Still don't think it'll be enough. Kerry by 3+ jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/08/2019 20:37:01 2220834 Link

Clifford is a totally different animal to Gooch physically. what enabled O'brien and geaney to have such good games against Donegal was the space they were afforded cos Clifford was double bagged. I have to agree this Dublin team are an extraordinary team and will take some stopping from doing 5 and would love to beat kerry in the final. Ourselves Mayo and Tyrone certainly won't have gave up hope though and they will have to work for it of they do it reithi (Kerry) - Posts: 52 - 04/08/2019 20:38:01 2220835 Link
unfortunately can't see anything other than a Kerry win, as other posters have pointed out, Tyrone haven't beat anyone of note in latter stages of championship since winning in 2008. Kerry aren't great by any stretch, but they have better forwards and I can't see Tyrone outscoring them. Playing for second place anyway, I don't know if it's that fact, or how quickly this new format closes out the championship, but there's no excitement anymore. Maybe I'm just getting old.

It's going to be extremely difficult for Tyrone to win this. Kerry have the better players. Far better forward line with Clifford m, Geaney, O'Brien in flying form. Midfield with Moran is excellent. Defence better than alit of people think. O'Sullivan is a flyer and a good defender. Foley perfect for McShane. Add in Whyte and and underestimated Murphy Merry hold all the aces. Tyrone would have to raise their game massively to win..... The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 04/08/2019 21:00:51 2220855 Link
Replying To The_Fridge: "coming though Munster." What's that got to do with anything? Did we get a bye into the semi for winning Munster or something? We played Q-finals and qualifiers too just like everyone else. 2 Munster All Ireland champions this decade, only 1 from Ulster ;D See ya's Sunday!
