Replying To Belclare: "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.." Fenton has already proved it over da years. Are players not allowed an off day.

Replying To centerfield: "who was supposed to be picking up McCaffrey today" His dad. Don't tell me he forgot again? His ma will be livid. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 01/09/2019 21:45:06 2231558 Link
Replying To JohnnyFox19: "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." Some people want to completely turn Gaelic football into tiddlywinks. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1338 - 01/09/2019 21:56:04 2231565 Link
Replying To superdub: "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" People need to stop dragging up the 'referee wasn't consistent' by not sending off O'Sullivan.' He was consistent, Cooper got away with a few pulling and dragging fouls after being bookrd before eventually being sent off. The Cooper sending off was obviously coming, he was getting a roasting and pulling Clifford constantly. Matching Cooper on Clifford and then leaving him there was a disaster. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1338 - 01/09/2019 22:10:40 2231572 Link
Replying To bdbuddah: "Some people want to completely turn Gaelic football into tiddlywinks." Certainly if penos and red cards are to be dished out for the likes of the grappling that we saw today then we are already at the tiddlywinks stage.

The so called expert pundits aren't mentioning how good Howard was today on the Sunday Game. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 01/09/2019 22:30:54 2231581 Link
Replying To cluichethar: "I would expect a Kerry fan after winning so many All Ireland's to know the rules . Go read Rule 5.6 of the GAA Football Rules. It's quite clear in fact it states in an earlier rule that the ball must be flicked away with the open hand. These aren't my rules they're in the rule book. Go have a quick read then come back with a retraction. This goes for everyone else that has said a tackle with the closed fist isn't a free. Rule book is on line read it." Where does it say it's a red card in the rule book. You might want to read that rule fully. Dmck19 (Kerry) - Posts: 24 - 01/09/2019 22:46:12 2231592 Link
Replying To cluichethar: "You need to apologize to JohnnyFox it is in the rule book Rule 5.6 of the Official Football rules. There's no such thing as a legal closed fist tackle. It isn't a card of any sort for the first but it is after that. Go have a read the rules are online" Still not a red card. That's the point .

Replying To cluichethar: "O dear you sound upset. Kerry choked today, extra man for more than half the match & couldn't finish the Dubs off. Mayo were never handed a opportunity like that. So I guess I can understand your bitterness. Good luck in the replay." A mayo man having a go at kerry not closing out a final. Are you being serious?

Special mention to Clucko. What a keeper that man is. Two world class saves today and his 45 yard arrow setup the Dublin goal. Unquestionably a keeper for the ages. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 01/09/2019 22:56:24 2231608 Link
Replying To yew_tree: "Fenton has already proved it over da years. Are players not allowed an off day. People jump da gun after one performance....it's the clueless mob mentality" Fenton is a class player, so is david moran. They both can't be 100% effective every game. All players have an off day .

Replying To katser: "Was Dublins doggy full back line exploited by the Kerry forwards?" Not at all I thought they did fine against a very dangerous forward line. Kerry's backs were also good. I thought our work rate was phenomenal in added time was superb and we could have sneaked it but a draw is a fair result! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8586 - 01/09/2019 23:17:20 2231615 Link
Replying To Dmck19: "A mayo man having a go at kerry not closing out a final. Are you being serious?" We never got the opportunity to play av14 man Dublin team on their prime never mind getting a soft peno like yer boys got today.

Replying To neverright: "How did he not give Kerry a penalty in the second half" How did he not give con o Callaghan one. Jonnycee (Longford) - Posts: 185 - 01/09/2019 23:44:47 2231628 Link
Replying To endgame: "Brian Fenton was poor today after a great season.Was he injured coming in to the match I wonder.?" No he was cleaned out as was Kilkenny, CoC an mannion...we have dem rattled now just need to push on an close it out. Clifford was very quite today an still had da dubs totally spooked..some very funny calls by gavin.. blacknamber (Kerry) - Posts: 267 - 01/09/2019 23:52:29 2231630 Link

The Cooper sending off was obviously coming, he was getting a roasting and pulling Clifford constantly. Matching Cooper on Clifford and then leaving him there was a disaster." Not long home from the game and threw on the Sunday game evening show and flicking through it to see what all the fuss on here is about, the red card was a red no doubt about it after four or five fouls on Clifford and I thought that in real time at the game as well today, the penalty was a penalty and should have been retaken by the letter of the law due to cluxton leaving his line, Costellos attempt at a point went through the post so that's a Níl all day long, Tom Sullivan shouldn't have been sent of as it was only his second foul and a ticking sufficed. Another thing I noticed was Jim Gavin's interview, he looked really rattled and was stuttering a lot did anyone else notice that? Usually Jim is calmness personified. gallarus14 (Kerry) - Posts: 127 - 02/09/2019 00:03:53 2231635 Link
Kerry showed serious steel to come back today from 4 points down at half-time. Their tackling, the sheer physical intent on challenging for every single ball is a benchmark for other challengers. Very impressed with that and with the genuine belief that they could win. It's alright talking about belief but conveying it is another thing. Dublin in the first half were magical at times. Their speed is breathtaking at times, the link-up play, the quality of execution of the so-called 'simple things' was mesmeric. Second half they were quieter at times and I think they'll up it again the next day based on that. Might be enough to win. If Dublin don't give away as many frees to O'Se then they'll win in my opinion. The penalty was absolutely a penalty. I have no idea what planet Brolly is on at times. Bringing up 'Kerry pressure' was a cheap shot at David Gough who I thought had a good game and was pulling and tugging from good distances away.

Replying To Joxer: "Special mention to Clucko. What a keeper that man is. Two world class saves today and his 45 yard arrow setup the Dublin goal. Unquestionably a keeper for the ages." Yeah two big saves alright(although was at least a couple of foot off the line for peno)fingertip save was a key moment for me,if that goes in I think Kerry win.He found his man well in the second half (I know Kerry won a couple of his kickouts)but with the extra man thought he showed how good he is.I thought it was a good game,great at the end with nothing in it very exciting,Kerry might be kicking themselves they didn't go for the juggler instead of playing the clock down.Dublin will improve the next day no doubt but think that game will bring Kerry on as well so should be interesting.Jack macaffey was unreal today kicking 1-3 and has some engine on him, also thought Moran was very good and o Shea was as well.All in all a good game some great scores,good proper football(yes both teams were cynical at times but that's the way the game has gone)and nail biting at the end for everyone even the neutral(although I have to admit was hoping for a Kerry win not going to lie)hard to know what way the replay will go?Kerry probably should have won with the extra man(although not always easy to play v 14)missed chances but then Dublin could have won it in the end with rock's miss, so both teams will be disappointed they didn't win but relieved they have another shot.Think it could go either way but Kerry can't let Dublin lead by five or six again with 15 men Dublin would pull away.lets hope it's another good game.

What a great match. Kerry really should have been leading at half-time, some really poor shooting in the first half. Dean Rock's equaliser was sensational, considering the poor wides from Dublin up to that as well. They looked rattled in my opinion but is Rock is just fantastic, ice in his veins. McCaffrey or Sean O'Shea would be my MOTM though. 2 great performances JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 02/09/2019 00:38:11 2231640 Link
Replying To Joxer: "Special mention to Clucko. What a keeper that man is. Two world class saves today and his 45 yard arrow setup the Dublin goal. Unquestionably a keeper for the ages." Do people call him that?. He is top class though, even his short kick outs are class. He took a short kick out that landed at the corner of the 21 but he didnt hit it straight, he curled it around to make sure it went past the 21 line. Right to a players feet, precision it was.
