Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Just checked I think the bookies odds are way off for this game, it's an even enough game in my book and Monaghan would be slight favourites considering home advantage and Kerry are coming of the back of a defeat with a 6 day turn around. Maybe this Kerry team aren't as good as people imagined, if they still have to go back to rely on an aging CD it doesn't bode well for their All Ireland hopes." If Kerry play my grandmother and it helps us win thats all that matters and win we will u should be worried aboiut ur own county there race for Sam is over they wont beat Tyrone wfkerry (USA) - Posts: 933 - 18/07/2018 22:31:23 2123627 Link
Replying To OrielAbu: "Really looking forward to this game, as much as I enjoyed the randomness of the locations in the qualifiers, it will be good to be in Clones. I don't think Monaghan will underestimate Kerry, think Malachy is doing a great job at keeping boys focused ... one game at a time." To be honest Monaghan are average enough couldnt beat Fermanagh beat a Kildare team who were beaten by Carlow as poor as Kerry were we were only a point behind Galway hitting 70 minutes and we were poor if Kerry improve 10% they will beat Monaghan i think Monaghan are believing there own hype that they are some kind of a super team what did MCmanus do last week not alot if Kildare had there shooting boots on they would have won wfkerry (USA) - Posts: 933 - 18/07/2018 22:41:37 2123632 Link

Kerry are seriously over-hyped this year and living on past glory. Monaghan to win. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 18/07/2018 23:50:37 2123653 Link
I think the move for Kerry would be to start Donaghy, Drew Wylie isn't totally fit or fast enough and it showed at times against Kildare. If they start the same forward line as week I can see nothing but a Monaghan defeat. This is our time to shine. Kella92 (Monaghan) - Posts: 4 - 19/07/2018 00:07:50 2123659 Link
Replying To patk: "Galway are on the right track after a result like that at weekend, but they still have a bit to prove at the business end of the championship, as we do ourselves obviously. You're talking like they're an established fixture in semis and finals, they haven't even made the semis this year just yet." It's not that there an established finalist or semi finalist it's just I've seen both teams and I cannot see where Monaghan are " more advanced "that's all. Ye have every chance if ye play to the best of your ability against Kerry but Galway have beaten Kerry also and made the league final. Nothing against Monaghan but I was just looking for some more detail on the remark about being " more advanced " that's all, and am still none the wiser. Not to worry, it should be a cracking game anyway. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 19/07/2018 07:33:55 2123668 Link

Feeling the pressure. It will be a long trip home with nothing to show for a 10hr round trip. mon07 (Monaghan) - Posts: 139 - 19/07/2018 07:54:11 2123671 Link

The point about McManus is also pretty funny. If he had scored 10 of our 15 pts then the tired old "one man team" line would be trotted out. But when he has one of his quieter days and we still win with other lads stepping up, then that's an excuse to bash him aswell! Can't win I suppose. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 936 - 19/07/2018 09:03:22 2123675 Link
Those posters calling Kerry over hyped and living on past glories are loosing the run of themselves. Kerry fans know where this team is at, we have a team of kids 19/20/21 learning senior football. The hype didn't come from Kerry it came from others like Brolly looking to much into two games. This is a 2/3 year project and if we go out on Sunday all is not lost. I know many will rejoice at that prospect but that says more about them and their own counties. Kerry fans need to look at the bigger picture and our boys will do their best on Sunday and thats all anyone can ask. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 19/07/2018 10:11:01 2123697 Link
Foley White Barry Burns Clifford O Se And all the other young Kerry players are going to be superstars there's no doubt it's plain to see but for this one off game should Fitzmaurice bring back In the old guard for this do or die match? Obviously Clifford plays but the rest are they worth the gamble for this game ? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 19/07/2018 10:39:58 2123701 Link

Tomás Ó Sé said beforehand that he expected Kerry to win easily. Dara's article after the game was pretty scathing of them. I expect a reaction from them this weekend, but you'd gave to think a loss would spell the end of Fitzmaurice's reign. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2036 - 19/07/2018 11:33:43 2123714 Link
Replying To festinog: "Kerry are seriously over-hyped this year and living on past glory. Monaghan to win." We are over hyped for sure but not by people within our county, Ciaran Whellan and joe brolly were the two biggest culprits and maybe tomás o'sé a bit too. to be fair we all knew and said that this is a very young and inexperienced team, and you only had to look at our league results to see where we are. We want to believe that we can beat Monaghan but we haven't seen anything from our young team or from our management that can give us that belief.

No clon, if anything I'd recommend starting more young lads, throw in Shanahan and Gavin Crowley and Barry O'Sullivan and Tom O'sullivan also from the start, this is a learning opportunity for these young lads now, we don't play challenge matches anymore so it would be a nice change for these young lads to play against different opponents.

Ah now KingdomBoy, your biggest problem is gettting your lads to believe that they could lose to Monaghan, not that you could beat them. The opposite is true for us!

Replying To wfkerry: "If Kerry play my grandmother and it helps us win thats all that matters and win we will u should be worried aboiut ur own county there race for Sam is over they wont beat Tyrone" You do realise that it is quite possible for people to "worry" about their own county and at the same time look at other teams and matches and give an opinion based on what they have seen, don't you? Or is the only intercounty football you watch involving Kerry and nothing else? the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 495 - 19/07/2018 12:23:24 2123729 Link

I don't know Eddie, I hope you're right. I'm traveling more in hope than expectation at this point. The only thing that gives me that bit of hope is that this'll be Monaghan's 5th game in 5 weeks and maybe ye'l get tired in the last 15/20 minutes, so if we can keep it close till then we might pip ye to the posts.
