Kerry unstoppable yesterday but not sure why some of their players need to have the hands up and gesturing to the crowd after every score….they were at it from the very start. I hate to see that crap.

Replying To foreveryoung:  "Congratulation to Kildare on winning the Tailteann Cup (that's how to spell it, for the Leitrim ppl). Great game of football between themselves and Limerick, could have gone either way, but KD the better side overall.

Not that Kerry will mind, but second game very boring after first one. Tyrone had bags of ball but totally bereft of ideas. Clifford some player."
We have an 'American' telling us how to spell. Should you not be heading to the 'center' to do some 'labor'?

Replying To Ulsterchamps72:  "I'd take that over Cora Staunton on the radio. It was awful. I nearly stopped the car to go in and watch the match in Virginia. I then got into Meath and whole place is decked out for an All Ireland final. They've built some support in a few weeks."
I remember the days there was no co commentators needed and they were far better

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Kildare and Limerick by a distance the best and competitive game to watch for neutrals.

Are some pundits especially those who have talked up the new rules all year now afraid to admit that with two games to play we have got mostly boring error ridden games in the business end of the championship this summer?"
I guess some people will never be happy. What a season it's been and kerry Tyrone was very enjoyable for me. Close enough for 50 minutes or so but even if you say it was one sided it was fascinating. Joe o Connor and David Clifford with 2 of the best performance I ever saw.

Replying To brayballer:  "Well done Kerry but the job not done yet.Not being critical but if anything happens young Clifford then Kerry are an ordinary team The brother and Sean O Shea top men too but as a team Kerry have good grafters but are beatable. On David Clifford I just love watching him. He could have been a Dub. My buddy from Kerry tells me his parents were about to move to Dublin before he was born but his Da was offered a job in Kerry. Ah well ."
Thanks Bray.David is Kerry T.G. .Pity Fentons Dad did nt stay in Kerry too ha ha.

Bit of an overreaction. Kerry players called for more support. The supporters have responded. It's great!

Meath after Tullamore are a dangerous prospect. The general consensus seems to be that Donegal making the final will be favourites. I don't think there can be any qualms about that. Donegal's running game and second half performance against Monaghan was phenomenal.

According to Cahair O'Kane, everything Donegal has done has been about Kerry. 51% Donegal - Kerry 49% is what Cahair is saying. Far be it from anyone to have the audacity to argue against Cahair.

David Clifford is extraordinary so any team would look much worse without such a player. But Kerry have in Paudie, David and Sean O'Shea three forwards that are all in the top 10 in the country. Joe O'Connor and Diarmuid O'Connor are both amongst the top few midfielders. Tom O'Sullivan, Gavin White, Jason Foley also probably get on the starting team of every other side. Shane Ryan in goals looks nailed on for All Star again. Doesn't read like an ordinary team to me

After all the talk about it being one of the best Championships.....expect two very one sided All Ireland Semi Finals, Tyrone were only in the SF because they got handy OF and Meath will get well beaten today.
Donegal v Kerry All Ireland Final....heart, head and wallet says Donegal for Sam 2025.

I might regret saying this but I think it'll be a lot closer today than you're expecting. Meath, I feel, have a real chance. Donegal deserve to be favourites but I don't see any more than a couple of scores in this. If Donegal win well then they will be favourites for the final

I see that we have managed to add the AI Junior football title to our Lory Meagher Cup All-Ireland title of earlier in the year. Is any other county besides New York, going to end up with AII-Ireland double titles when the year is out, in adult male competition? NYGFC is the way forward.

The Leitrimmers on here had the disrespect to call it the 'tea cup'! Putting manners in your, by according the cup its proper title and bringing your attention to how to spell it, is the least that this yank could do.

Btw, County NY now are All-Ireland double winners in 2025, one in each code. Has Leitrim ever won an AI title in any code, even in the ladies game?
