Kerry whinging will help Mayo?

(Oldest Posts First)

Mayo must be delighted with the Kerry whinging - it may put pressure on Lane to favour Mayo or at least not be seen to favour Dublin.
The question is can they keep it up from now till the All-Ireland or will they peak too soon. Time will tell.

Ha. Seriously? How many of Dublin's current 28 game unbeaten run were officials responsible for? Sometimes you just have to admit that you were outclassed and lost.

Kerry whinging? Some may be licking their wounds down here but most aren't because:

1) Dublin were more consistent in their play, although some of their finishing was erratic
2) Kerry were not able to sustain periods of dominance, despite hammering home a few goals before half-time
3) Kerry missed three clear chances near the end to nail it, mostly because fitness and age counted against s few of the lads
4) Because Kerry had to painstakingly build from the back, scoring chances were fewer... and attacking at pace and in waves still isn't an option

Now, gobshites begrudging victory is almost a sine qua non for citizenship in most of the country but presupposing that Kerry are sore losers just because of the actions of a few is a new low even for the pigheaded. I very much doubt Kerry would have won a replay in any case.

You've a serious issue with Dublin. Kind of pathetic. Are you really from Kerry or just a jealous Sligo man? Winter well. I'm sure you will after having a very quiet summer too.

I'd say giving the final to the Corkman probably had more to do with the comments by a Limerick hurling ref about a closed shop of leinster referees for the hurling deciders. I thought McQuillan was getting it again, because he was linesman for the semi final and generally he gets to ref at least one of the semi finals or final based on the past few years. Honestly, if you think Kerry had a hand in this you are having a laugh. For your point to be proven Joe McQuillan would not be named as linesman either.

My rancour free response to this post [and charges of pigheadness] is still in moderation it seems.
I feel like whinging myself!

Like the last day, the ref did Dublin no favours. We dont expect any in the final. We play where we are told and are reffed by "impartial" officials. We try our best.

Its a Mayo win guaranteed.

I shall ignore the charges of pigheadedness [ water off a pigs head and all that ] and instead look to the substance of the matter - the source of the whinging. You claim, perhaps with justification, that these people are gobshites. That would be most of the posters on the Kerry GAA forum and, among others, none other than the Kerry manager E Fitzmaurice if his post match interview is to be believed. Seems a little harsh but you are entitled to your opinion.
I must say, given the post match response from certain Kerry pundits/legends to the Limerick replay - talk of 'the footpass' & 'hammer the hammer' - that it's all rather precious.

Anyway the whinging will cease to attract attention in the run up to the match as various other agendas/memes come to the fore; Keegan &O Shea are this / D Connolly &Philly Mc are that etc etc.
The whinging won't have hurt Mayo certainly and they will need any help going - this is a serious Dublin outfit. They beat Mayo fair and square on the last 2 occasions.

3. what's really at issue after tight losses like this is the threat of power struggles, with the attuned listening out for signs as surely as an Alpine guide does for the odd yawning crevasse

A/ That you are upset about something
B/ That the whinging is an internal Kerry messaging system.

As to A I can offer no assistance bar a sincere hope that it will pass. With B however while that's all very interesting I'm sure, most of the country is more interested in the upcoming final and the subject of this thread is the effect of the whinging, if any, on the ref. It can be heard outside the county too you know.

A further complication arises when one considers the pre match complaints/excuses about previous Kerry defeats at the hands of Dublin- this may further lessen the effects of the whinging as it may appear as 'more of the same'.
So in answer to the OP it may have no effect [Mayo fans might hope otherwise] and merely be written off as noise. - E Fitzmaurice's contribution notwithstanding.
