Replying To bláthach:  "You obviously have a chip on your shoulder with regards to Leitrim. My fellow county man made a valid point about player safety and you put in a mocking response. Completely shows up what type of a poster you are. Seemingly couldn't care less about the players. And for your information there is no junior or intermediate competitions in inter county football so your post is bit cringey and im scarlet for you. I hope you enjoy the games today from the shade of wherever you're watching. Other genuine GAA people have concerns for the players safety but not you. Thanks."
One hot day in Ireland and there's mila murder. "Only mad-dogs and English men go out in the midday sun", right? Come out to Florida if you wanna feel the heat and know what real heat is. That's my shade.

Correct, no systematic grading levels exist, but I'm talking about actual playing levels. Don't try to even convince anyone that Leitrim is anything but a middling level junior team. You're lucky that I refrained from mentioning junior B. Poor ould Leitrim!

Replying To PoolSturgeon:  "Somehow I dont think "Kerry by 10" as stated by Kerry for Sam 24 will be one of them! (astute insights)"
You under estimate that posters betting genius. Even though they will predict a 10 pint Kerry win, somehow, and I just don't know how, they will post to boast about predicting the result having placed over €1,000 and winning a fortune, completely contradicting their original prediction. This poster is a multi millionaire through hindsight bets. A marvel.

You're dealing with someone who has the skill, will and perseverance to create multiple accounts and post in such a way that no one, and I mean no one, would ever twig they are not from the counties the masquerade to be from. I fully believe Kerryforsam25 is genuinely from Kerry, despite their complete inept knowledge of players and panel members and complete inflammatory statements uttered to draw attention and bad sentiment toward Kerry.

Hail hail the bookies nightmare.

You're right none, Tyrone players play for Tyrone. I see schools out for the summer.

Very strange commenting but sure keep at it

These co-commentators from competing counties, like Fitzmaurice today, are very aggravating. We want co-commentary, not fans with typewriters. Hardly too much to ask of RTE, neutral co-comms, rather than fans of competing teams waxing lyrical about players and teams that they're big fans of.

Kerry were very good today. They'll take some stopping now. Clifford is mesmerising.

I take that back. He was more astute than I thought. I expected more from Tyrone. They need to fast track more of their underage players. I didnt think Mattie Donnelly played to the level he is known for today. Not that he was the issue because there was a lot of mediocrity desplayed by the whole team in the 2nd half. KerryforSam 2025 chose his name well but I have a feeling he may have called himself "Kerryfor Sam 2024" last year also so that's my excuse for getting his handle wrong earlier.

Well done to Kerry and enjoy the final CiarraiMick and Legendzxix. Oh what teams would do to have the likes of David Clifford. Again well done Kerry. Green and gold guaranteed to win this year.

Well that was a cruise for Kerry comfortable win and could have been alot more...it actually showed up Tyrone and Dublin (beaten in QF) are way off the standard to Win All Ireland. Looks like Tyrone catching Donegal on the hop in 1st group game was a fluke!

Agree in this point

Poor by Tyrone looked out of juice from the 42nd minute. Just 12 scores from 31 shots you won't win or get close to winning any All Ireland semi final with that poor shooting. Can be thankful Kerry was so wasteful with the amount of goal chances they had.

Having watched them the last day I'm not that surprised with Tyrone. It was a poor game against Dublin and they kind of fell over the line. The Tyrone county haven't really bought into this team. I'm not quite sure why they didn't look to their 20 manager who has win 3 all Irelands now. Or at least look to bring him in now. He knows the young players really well.

Tyrone came into the game as the form team. They started the game very strongly as well. Early in the second half I was concerned Kerry's missed goal chances would be costly. Tyrone shooting was poor in the second half. Kerry improved their efficiency. Deserved winners. Donegal or Meath will be the raging hot favourites for obvious reasons. Sure we'll be hoping for the best.

Tyrone and Armagh really shown up by Kerry. Under these new rules systems are for the birds. As Mike Tyson said "Everyone has a plan until they're hit in the face with an 8oz glove". Armagh and Tyrone need to bin that slow, horrible sideways and backwards crap which achieves nothing and goes nowhere. When Kerry get the ball they look to get forward, attack and score. With Tyrone and Armagh it's possession, possession, possession.....until they're eventually turned over as Tyrone were today several times. Bin the stupid gameplans and let fellas play.
