Replying To legendzxix: "'24 was Armagh's year. Kerry responded last year. Donegal are responding this year. Kerry accepted the clear red card on Saturday. Donegal did not after the league final. A bit of heckling is par for the course after the dirty stroke in the league final. Some of the Donegal reaction to that is laughable. I thought Donegal were a sporting county like Kerry. It might be just a minority or outliers in Donegal being bad winners. Sin é."
What kind of red card, did Donegal not accept after league final?? Never heard such deflective waffle. Kerry were so hyped up to stop Donegal, they shot themselves in the foot. If they're aim was better they might have troubled the scoreboard more rather than putting a hole in said foot.
Replying To Commodore: "Aside from all of the white noise after the HT controversy, It was a very tight game until half time and if Kerry hadn't got a man sent off at HT, playing with the wind in the 2nd half, it likely would have been a much tighter game. I still think Kerry are the strongest team in the Country when at full strength, they have a lot of top notch players still out.
Tony Brosnan is a class act, he racked up a huge score in Ballyshannon during the regular league game early in the year, I was surprised we didn't pay more attention to him when he came on in the 2nd half. The boy can kick from serious distance with serious power. Jack O'Connor is a classy manager, huge respect for the man and what he has repeatedly achieved. Getting men back and match fit will be vital for Kerry if they hope to retain the title.
Armagh are the team that currently stands out, their intensity is something else, and Tyrone are a dangerous animal, didn't see them beating that Roscommon side."
Armagh might regret coming from prelim round in Ulster. Donegal played 11 games last year, and stayed relatively injury free, until 2 players in final. Can Armagh go one better? Hard to beat that level every day.
