Replying To HighKings: "The notion that the whole country is mad excited for this final like Dara O'Sé suggested is rubbish. I work in Dublin and today was the first day a Dub even mentioned the match to me. He wasn't too bothered either. There is no big Drive for 5 excitement. Not much real media coverage either. If it wasn't for the referee talk there'd have been even less media coverage. It's an incredibly quiet build up to the match." Exactly, very quiet all over so far and no big hype or talk of the game from what I've seen either. Sure if you write a newspaper column, you have to be talking things up or down as the case may be and O'Shea will have plenty more (knowledge) to dispense over the next week or two I'd say. Personally, I'm delighted we're back in with a chance of completing a remarkable achievement and I would be confident that this group of men will prepare to the absolute maximum and will be ready to give it a right good go. If it happens, I'll be delighted as a supporter and delighted for them because of all the joy and excitement they've delivered in the past. They've managed to overcome again and again and set a new standard as far as I'm concerned and whatever the outcome Sunday week I will not see them in any lesser light.

My house is the only house in the area with a Dublin flag outside it. Seriously, it is not the burning issue of the day here al all. Which is a bit of a bummer. I'd love to be chatting about the match. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 22/08/2019 19:15:54 2228608 Link
Replying To avonali: "Here's another one for you Joxer. The Dubs are a dislikable, robotic, passionless machine. But when Jack McCaffrey shows he has a sense of humour he suddenly becomes 'simple' Jack in the Kingdom. The narrative the Kerry lads are trying to spin is gas. They're trying to invoke the spirit of 1975. The young inexperienced lads from the Kingdom toppled the ageing, puffed up Dubs. Now the Dubs have become become 'seasoned professionals". Nobody is buying it. Sure there is not much difference in the average age of the teams at all. You wouldn't be up to some of these lads. Laughing at us they are....." Jack visited my little girl in the ICU and admired her Kerry Jersey with a grin. Jack's a gentleman and far from simple. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 22/08/2019 19:31:54 2228610 Link

You don't condone eye gouging so id imagine it's impossible to see them in any lesser light when that's your moral compass. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 22/08/2019 19:34:19 2228612 Link
Replying To westkerry: "Both making a start in that game, Clifford having come straight for Minor, OShea the year previously. Kilkenny and McCaffery did similar in 2013. This Kerry team has been built over 2 years, called it yerra or whatever but that's the truth. 5 players were involved in 2015 from this panel. As for Dublin not doing Yerra well they do PR controlled Dublin TV were they answer their own questions in a controlled environment and their players roll out the same sound bites that frankly are dull and boring at this stage." No, not yerra. Facts re 2015 are straight. I would disagree that there are greenhorns in the kerry ranks though. Youth for sure. But seasoned ones Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 22/08/2019 19:40:28 2228613 Link

Yes he doesn't condone it...so his moral compass is fine. And I'm sure he doesn't condone fish-hooking either. Do you?? avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 22/08/2019 20:08:03 2228615 Link
Replying To reithi: "Play him full forward?" I would have also have accepted! Teach him how to say, "how do you like that, Joe Brolly"! ;D TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4446 - 22/08/2019 20:12:43 2228617 Link
Replying To westkerry: "You don't condone eye gouging so id imagine it's impossible to see them in any lesser light when that's your moral compass." You have no high moral ground to talk down to anyone considering where you are coming from though I see your arrogance won't allow you anything less. No, I will not see them in any lesser of a light because they deserve any true GAA fans appreciation. That's probably why you don't see it that way though. At least you are a fraction above the other sneer though who is utterly classless. I hope your child is fit and healthy by the way and it's people like Jack who he'd be running to if he had the misfortune to have a child in need.

I see not one Kerry player made the U 20 nominations for team of the year. Let's be frank, there are lads like JOD, Moran, Geaney, Walsh, Enright, Sherwood, Paul Murphy, all heading for the wrong side of their 20s. For many on this panel, you feel, it could be now or never before another transition in the Kerry panel. That bodes well for Kerry, those lads will surely be motivated.

Replying To westkerry: "Jack visited my little girl in the ICU and admired her Kerry Jersey with a grin. Jack's a gentleman and far from simple." Good to hear and the like the lads say, hope she's doing good and thriving. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4446 - 22/08/2019 22:02:48 2228646 Link

Replying To clondalkindub: "Very confident in our team it would be a bit weird if we weren't Hermit no? You can see one thing this Dublin team isnt cocky most level headed team I've ever witness great roll models for kids throughout the land. We're going for history we're enjoying the build up these are great days for Dublin supporters. I'm sure with over a million people you get some cocky supporters but it's all fun." Yeh doesn't matter a damn what the supporters think when it comes to actually playing the match. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8603 - 22/08/2019 22:06:43 2228649 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Hope she's doing better and nothing but the very best with it all," Thank you Jim she's flying now, Jacks a lovely genuine guy who those not take life too seriously when playing, I guess he sees real life difficult situations everyday and Football is put into context for him. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 22/08/2019 22:13:35 2228650 Link
