Replying To JohnnyFox19: "Jack Barry....a very average player. Great in the soft ground in the national league when players aren't going full tilt but doesn't have the engine to stick with a dynamic midfielder. Look....Dublin were 5 points up until they went down a man. This allowed Kerry to flood their defence not allowing the Dublin inside line the room to do what they usually do. Also, Kerry were having fierce difficulty retaining their own sickout until the sending off. Impossible for Dublin to press the kickout after that. Totally changed the dynamic of the game. I can't see anything but a 10 point win for Dublin replay. Mannion, McCarthy, Fenton, O' Callaghan have got a bad game out of their system and will be chomping at the bit to make amends the next day." That's the man, give kerry no credit. Kerry's bench better than dubs judging by today. Dmck19 (Kerry) - Posts: 24 - 01/09/2019 18:55:01 2231411 Link
Replying To moc.dna: "There is a lot of conspiracy theories about Hawkeye but that point today made my mind up on it, clearly a score." Costello didn't appeal it so I think it was wide. Can't wait for the replay. What a brilliant game carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 01/09/2019 18:57:30 2231412 Link
Replying To cluichethar: "Don't want your empathy or anyone else's. Kerry got 70% of the calls today. You obviously see it differently so. Have a nice day." How can a mayo man be this biased. Personally would love mayo to win but this type of bitterness is awful. Why do you care who wins if you're from mayo. Dmck19 (Kerry) - Posts: 24 - 01/09/2019 18:57:46 2231413 Link
Replying To 32_4_1: "It wasn't Jack Barry's fault the forwards weren't converting their chances. Only good in the national league? He was pulling balls down from the sky all day, throwing himself about and causing havoc for Dublin's midfield. If you think he's average, you're talking rubbish quite frankly. He's a top player" He outplayed fenton today. Enough said. Dmck19 (Kerry) - Posts: 24 - 01/09/2019 18:59:18 2231414 Link
Cooper played on the edge today and was caught out but Clifford was equally as bad as pulling cooper as the other way around. O Sullivan staying in the field was a classic case of the referee bottling it. Both teams have room for improvement but the ref has to take a good look at himself after that superdub (Dublin) - Posts: 392 - 01/09/2019 19:03:32 2231416 Link
Replying To cluichethar: "How in Gods name can the RTÉ panel say Kerry were great today. They played more half the match with an extra man. Should have had a man sent off & if it was a penalty for Kerry in the 1st half it should have been a penalty for Dublin in the 2nd half. Today proved just how good Dublin are, out numbered and they still almost won. Unfortunately I don't think the replay will be anywhere as entertaining. I think Dublin in a landslide. Also hoping Conor Lane is the man in the middle, best referee this year." They put it up to Dublin all day, Dublin very lucky to get the draw. If Dublin didn't have an absolute rarity in Jack Mc Caffrey the best scoring wing back ever seen on All Ireland final day they would be finished. Fenton lorded it in the semi against poorer players but David Moran is a colosses.. Some replay in store.. Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 01/09/2019 19:05:25 2231417 Link
The Dubs very nearly undone today but huge credit to them with 14 men against a formidable Kerry side. The sending off clearly a gamechanger. It's as if Dublin didnt factor that into their plan B and with players like Cooper & Small it is always a possibility. Kerry should have won that game and will be sickened they didnt. Peter Keane was so thick in his post match interview. Dubs by 4 in the replay if they manage to keep everyone on the pitch that is. Cluxton or JmCC my man of the match. Who got it? lilylanger (Kildare) - Posts: 758 - 01/09/2019 19:07:55 2231418 Link
Replying To greysoil: "Cooper could have been gone earlier. Fouled many times before the second yellow. I think Brogan would have made the difference had he been there? I wonder will Gavin question his decisions? The sultan of Marino added nothing. Kerry game management excellent today but unfortunately they will feel left the game behind. Some super players in that young team. McCaffrey & Rock saved the Dubs today. McCaffrey a joy to watch. Overall I thought Gough did well - probably 2 questionable decisions for both sides, the most critical being for Kerry at the end. For the rest us, a period of Dublin & Kerry dominance ahead ...." Hope not, GAA must start taking matches out of Croke park. Mayo won the league, matches down the country.One of Semi finals must be in Clones, one of hurling semis in Cork Pairc Ui Chaoimh. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 01/09/2019 19:11:23 2231420 Link
Will the replay be in kerry???? Only fair as dubs at home today!! jj19 (Galway) - Posts: 448 - 01/09/2019 19:12:37 2231422 Link
No body talking about Jack Barrys closed fist punch to a Dublin players ribs in the first half. By the GAAs rulebook, this was a straight red card offence. Didn't even get a yellow. Replay clearly shows he walloped the Dublin player in possession with a closed fist. For me, this was the only clear red card offence in the whole game.

Replying To carlovia: "Costello didn't appeal it so I think it was wide. Can't wait for the replay. What a brilliant game" I dunno if it was a point but he did appeal it in fairness. Got accept the hawk eye decision I guess and just move on. HighKings (Meath) - Posts: 271 - 01/09/2019 19:14:45 2231428 Link
David Gough should be given another chance to ref the replay. M.Deegan is a Kerry ref. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 01/09/2019 19:15:15 2231429 Link
Kerry did well today, just a pity they tried to sit on their lead when they went a point up, a man up and on top had they went for it they probably would have won. Spillane and co. up front were firing at that stage. I will be surprised if Kerry get the same opportunity (ie Dublin down a man) again. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1337 - 01/09/2019 19:15:43 2231430 Link
Replying To Dmck19: "That's the man, give kerry no credit. Kerry's bench better than dubs judging by today." Fresh players coming on against 14 men with tired legs. Not a fair comparison. Spillane would never have gotten that amount of space to run into against 15 men. Kerry extremely luck on goal with point dropping short and Dublin man dropping easy catch in build up.

Good game better than i thought it would be the sending off certainly helped the contest, fine scoring by Rock and S O'Shea 0-10 each other forwards had off days... Kerry have probably missed their chance as they are unlikely to get 4 goal chances in the replay or play half of the match with a extra man. Not sure why HQ have extra time for under 17s while the senior final has no extra time. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3742 - 01/09/2019 19:18:46 2231434 Link
Replying To Dmck19: "How can a mayo man be this biased. Personally would love mayo to win but this type of bitterness is awful. Why do you care who wins if you're from mayo." What does coming from Mayo have to do with with what went on today. The game was extremely enjoyable but that doesn't take away from the fact Kerry got most of the calls. Your media blitz on David Gough worked wonders. Dublin have done the same thing in the past & got results. It worked for Kerry today. I'm neither bitter or biased & I got exactly what I wanted not what I expected, a close exciting game that both teams could have won in the last 2 minutes. On Kerry's last attack they should have had a free out on the sideline right in front of the linesman. What ever the result it was good for me Kerry win Dublin fails in their bid for 5, Dublin win Kerry failed to stop them. Pretty simple got entertained for about an hour & a half. Good luck in the replay. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 01/09/2019 19:21:52 2231438 Link
Replying To galwayfball: "It looked like a score to me too. The kerry keeper seemed very confident it was wide even before Hawkeye but yes on the hawkeye replay it was clearly inside the posts" Someone needs to go to specsavers. All the ball must be inside. 4/5 of ball was 1/5 not therefore it is deemed wide. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 01/09/2019 19:25:31 2231440 Link

This has been my pet peeve for years. Players allowed to use "softners" . It's never called, anything but an open hand on the ball is a free. If fans don't like it then get the rules changed. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 01/09/2019 19:25:51 2231441 Link
