Congratulations to both teams on making the final. All the advantages are with Dublin. RTÉ's panel say everyone else is playing for second place. Both teams are unbeaten and won their respective groups. Ciarraí abú! :-) legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7827 - 11/08/2019 17:19:45 2224092 Link

It was your stomping ground. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 11/08/2019 17:35:38 2224114 Link
Dublin by 10 points or more Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1057 - 11/08/2019 17:45:56 2224129 Link
It is the glamour tie and with the 5 in a row at stake it makes the game even more interesting but sadly Kerry are up against an unstoppable machine. I'm sure the narrative will be that upsets can happen, Kerry are Kerry and 1982 will be played out over and over again but reality is Dublin are going to win this game, and win it well.

Make no mistake about, this is a great Dublin team. Probably the best ever. The young Kerry team facing them need to man up. Become the heroes we need you to be. The game itself deserves no less. plike (Kerry) - Posts: 569 - 11/08/2019 17:54:51 2224141 Link

Ya but part of the fun of sport is getting up the the morning of the match and thinking today the unbelievable might just happen. Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 11/08/2019 18:57:23 2224202 Link
Replying To Joxer: "Kerry minors were going for 6 in a row, yes 6 in a row, today. It's sport and anything can happen." They lost.Dublin won't be taking anything for granted.Dublin though are a much better team than Kerry at the moment and they'd have to seriously underperform to lose the Final.I don't expect that to happen.Gavin's too smart a Manager and the Dublin players are just too good for that. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2156 - 11/08/2019 19:13:16 2224214 Link
I hope Kerry don't bring their fouling, cynical, game to the final. And hope Maurice Deegan is not the Ref. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 11/08/2019 19:17:25 2224221 Link
Replying To Joxer: "Kerry minors were going for 6 in a row, yes 6 in a row, today. It's sport and anything can happen." Hmmm. Some former Dublin players would say you speak untruths. Congrats on making the final. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7827 - 11/08/2019 19:21:54 2224224 Link
Replying To superbluedub: "Yea right." I believe it will be so. Objectively, Kerry are not good enough to close the gap, yet anyway. They know it too Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1057 - 11/08/2019 19:26:01 2224228 Link

Kerry lucky against Cork in Munster final, lucky today against Tyrone, ie got the 50/50 calls from the ref, and hope they will run out of luck in the final.

The final Croke Park and the media wanted. A few weeks of back slapping rhubarb yardie, yardie nonsense then Dublin to win by 15 pts+. Rinse and repeat for the next 20 years Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9697 - 11/08/2019 19:29:58 2224232 Link
Only a foolish person would compare winning 5 or 6 Minor titles in a row to Senior titles. Minor teams must change on an ongoing basis due to the small rule pertaining to players being under a given age on a given date. I would very much doubt if any Minor team has ever even won 2 titles in a row. Lots of counties and clubs have won multiple titles in a row but the teams are always changing.

Go on Galway lol. Kerrymanlegend (Kerry) - Posts: 31 - 11/08/2019 20:35:04 2224268 Link
Make no mistake, this is the final opponent that Dublin wanted. Winning the 5 in a row against the age-old enemy Kerry and taking their throne as the greatest team of All-time. Kerry by 4. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 11/08/2019 20:42:30 2224273 Link
Dublin will be rightly favorites But credit to Kerry and Keane A great achievement year 1 Kerry had the tougher side of things in playing Mayo, Donegal and Tyrone and came through it all unbeaten. Hats off. Hope S O'Brien can contest one of those black cards as I genuinely wouldn't like to see him miss out. Enjoy the build up folks It's great that Dublin has a full deck, no suspensions etc. I would really hope that BB goes well in training and gets into the panel. I think his big game expect versus Kerry could be very valuable Will we see Connolly start...?! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 11/08/2019 20:49:02 2224279 Link
Some context is needed here, Kerry have built a brand new team in 2 years. They have beaten Mayo, Tyrone, cork, Drew with Donegal. This Kerry team are ahead of where they should be and regardless of the result it's been a very good year for Peter Keane. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 11/08/2019 20:53:52 2224285 Link
Replying To Eddie the Exile: "I believe it will be so. Objectively, Kerry are not good enough to close the gap, yet anyway. They know it too" Before Ireland played England in the Women's Six Nations, the Irish coach said the English have 2 arms and 2 legs as well when asked about the gap! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7827 - 11/08/2019 20:55:15 2224287 Link
