Replying To JimB1991: "Huge pressure on Kerry now though, a total embarassment if they don't win an All Ireland from here. Realistically there 6-10pts better than Dublin and 12-16pts better than Mayo or Louth." Well Clare no Kerry player will be reading Hoganstand as you try to heap pressure on them in the effort and hope that they take the eye off the ball against Dublin or your own Mayo in the All-Ireland final should it could to that.
Ask yourself are Dublin,Louth,Mayo much different to Tyrone who Kerry just fell over the line against us? Was it embarassment that they won in that manner?
And double digit win in the semi-finals or final won't speak volumes for the overall quality of the championship.

Replying To Timmy86: "Ur wrong ,everyone in sligo ,galway and roscommon want mayo to loose" Not true. Most Galway people i know ARE rooting for Mayo. And those who arent, should be. At the minute Connacht is the poor relation in football. We win nothing. Over the last few years in minor , u20 , senior, club senior, intermediate. Junior, colleges, varsity, national football leagues, railway cup what have we won? Crossmolina intermediate last year is the only thing that springs to mind. We are a laughing stock and we need a boost. Yes Mayo supporters would be hard listen to if they won, but to me thats an acceptable price to pay to restore pride in the province. I recall some decades ago where Ulster was the poor relation like we are now. But then , and even still now, in Ulster, despite knocking lumps out of each other in Ulster with some savage rivalries, whoever represents Ulster generally gets the support of all Ulster. This sort of pride in the province epitomes the sort of passion that has helped bring Ulster football to the top of the pile. Oh to have some of that in Connacht.

From my experience it generally depends on what part of the county you're from. Up in the traditional football heartland, around Tuam and north Galway, there would be an intense rivalry with Mayo and I'd doubt you'd find too many wanting them to do well.
Out west in Conamara, the feeling is generally different. There's a general affinity with Mayo, particularly west Mayo which is very similar. A lot of people out west would have been supporting Mayo in their All-Ireland finals.

Since 2011 Dublin have held the upper hand.
Kerry beaten by the better team, some sore ones but that was an exceptional Dublin team.
Kerry have a fully fit 26 with the exception of Shane Ryan.
In hindsight Dublin did really well but Donegal looked a beaten docket and Galway are a team thats so poorly coached and how they have a junior B goal keeper is beyond me.
This Kerry team have matured and are extremely well coached by Cian ONeill and Donaghty.
Dublins old guard has dragged them back from the brink this summer and ive no doubt theyll fight to the end on Sunday.
It will come down to 2nd half and who can come in and make an impact.
I just don't see that punch from Dublins bench compared to Kerrys
Seanie
Tom Sullivan
Keith Evan
Paul Murphy
Killian Spillane
Tony Brosnan
Heinrich
All can make a big impact.
Then we get to Con or Clifford.
Both will cause havoc but Clifford has a point to prove and my gut tells me he will make a serious statement.
For me Kerry have too much upfront for Dublin to close down and when legs are tiring bringing in Seanie or Tom Sullivan will be a huge boost to us.
Bookies have Kerry at 4/11 which is incredible really.
Kerry to win and make a statement.
If not itll rank as Dublins greatest win over us and our worst loss.
Kerry by 20

Who are the Dublin '15'?
No Dublin player would make the Kerry team. They're all from Dublin, as far as I'm aware. You need to be from Kerry to make the Kerry team.

Replying To legendzxix: "Dublin boss GB is having a laugh talking up the pressure on their opponent. GB got the Dublin gig off the back of an impressive Leinster championship with Louth. Plenty of experience in the Dublin ranks. Ominously building up momentum in their current home league ground as well." I think there is pressure on kerry tbh.
Theyre hot favourites against a team who they shouldn't be hot favourites against, and their record against Dublin since 2011 is abysmal,even the 22 semi which they won could have easily gone Dublins way.
Kerry dont like the sight of the Dublin jersey.
Another defeat to their old rivals will sting and they know it.

Let's see what plan Ger has for this game…!" Clifford well able to win his own ball and couldn't see Davy beating him on that score or for pace, McMahon be more in your face and physical but supply as you say is crucial.
Jack O'C mentions Dublin closing Galway down in the back and winning midfield so that's where it will be won and lost. Kerry having runners from deep and winning bulk of their own kickouts would make it near impossible task.
Still, these games tend not to go to script. Anything might happen, and probably will.

Replying To TrueBlue35: "I think for us to win we will need a curve ball or two by way of a timely black/red card for them at a crucial stage in the game. I am just not sure we will live with their firepower and keep the scoreboard ticking over ourselves but I'd of course be happily proven wrong! I think they can be got at as Tyrone showed and I do trust Brennan to have a plan in place to keep things close. If we can be in touch going into the last 10 mins then it'll be all to play for.
I keep thinking back to the '23 final and how we didn't paly well for a large spell but still managed to squeeze out the win. Part of that was down to Clifford having an off day by his standards and being very well marshalled by Mick Fitz. I don't McMahon is anywhere near the quality of Mick Fitz and I'd worry about him if he was assigned to tag Clifford.
Really looking forward to it, lost of variables and hopeful we can cause an upset." Davy might be assigned to him or even a curve ball like Theo.
