Yerra Aidan this Ice fella was on here after Wexford played us in the hurling last March talking about how cynical the Kerry hurlers where.

Like a lot of the bregrudgers on here each has their stock arguments and they row them out when they deem it appropriate.

What do u expect them to do bow down to ye
Surely ye get enough of that in the leinster championship !"
What a heap of tripe...there's a big difference between 'bowing down' to a team and just plain bad sportsmanship...Ye bowed down long enough to Mayo in Connacht so have a look at your own province before casting aspersions on others..

Replying To icehonesty:  "Iv watched a good few Dublin games this year and Dublin seem to get a lot of easy frees at the start of first half and second halfs giving ye the chance to build a lead and totally deflate ye'r opposition .

So I want to know do Dublin get too many easy frees? And how many more easy frees do Dublin get compared to all the rest of us.

That's a fair point and something I agree with you on. Which makes me wonder - why are Kerry deliberately and systematically fouling as a tactic, when they know well it won't be tolerated when they play Dublin? They'll be whistled off the pitch because you're right, Dublin do get handy frees. The foul, foul, foul out the field tactics they are employing are grand against most teams, but it won't be tolerated by a referee in a game against Dublin, no way."
I don't think it's deliberate or systematic tbh , I think it's very lazy/clumsy tackling and it is something they have to work on in training.

And you're right if we don't tidy up our tackling then dean rock will punish us."
Believe me it's deliberate!! Rarely do they foul in the scoring zone. Kerry defends deep into their opponents half and almost always foul on the other side of the half way line. And I'm not criticizing them for that. It's pretty clever play. And therefore Dean Rock won't trouble ye much. However, don't be surprised if it's Donegal yous meet. I have a feeling Donegal are still gonna have a big say in this years championship.

The free count in the first half of 2014 all reland final was donegal awrded 9 frees kerry 1 so nothing changed or will change.
As a poster said the mayo games against kerry 2014 were daylight robbery.

Making stuff up now. I didn't even see that game between Wexford & Kerry in hurling, let alone comment on it. I'm sure I've commented on the Kerry footballers being cynical before, because they are. Very cynical. But this season, and maybe it's because they've had the handiest run to the semi's in history that it's so visible, but they have been fouling deliberately in every game, in the same locations on the pitch, as a tactic.

With all this talk and guff on here about Kerry getting an easy time of it from referee's etc you'd wonder why the same lads never bother to mention that Dublin's last 3 titles were officiated by two seperate referees not only from Leinster but also ones living and working in Dublin.

Now isn't that strange?!

if they were referee's living in Tralee officiating Kerry in a final the media and ye lads on here would be in meltdown still.

TheHermit I'm waiting for an admission you're wrong about me commenting on hurling saying Kerry fouled. You can throw in an apology for making stuff up too. Cheers.

Sure they'd never pick refs from Tralee. Imagine the expenses the GAA would have to pay for the 10,000 mile journey to Croker.

Sincere apologies Ice, apparently it was another Wexford poster calling himself Jimmyfloydd that had gone on and on about Kerry cynicism, our hurlers etc last march after the League game. There aren't too many Wexford posters talking about Kerry on here so I mistook him for you.

Still don't agree with any of your analysis mind - its all supposition, as other have pointed out.

And my point about the anti-Kerry bregrudgers on here and their stock arguments is perfectly valid and there for all to see, on numerous idiotic threads started before, during and after every game we play.

But sure as Caligula was fond of saying 'let them hate us as long as they fear us'

There is an awful stench of fear on here when Kerry play.

And so there should be....

TheHermit fair play. I just don't want people thinking I'm a WUM when I'm not. Just commenting on what I see. I'm not anti-Kerry by any means and hope Kerry beat Dublin mind you if they play them.

You are right about one thing anyway, there is an awful stench when Kerry play,is that part of the tactics too or does it just come natural?

Yerra I'm sure the fancy dans in Tralee and Killarney have their aftershaves and what not, but aye there's probably a whiff of the bog and sillage pit about the North Kerry lads. And sure what harm, don't we bring our players up in North Kerry to be tough and hard, good solid country stock!

At least we don't be sending out lads to inspect our opponents fingers ;)
