Enjoy the week and the match this weekend, great sets of fans and whoever comes out on top will have an exciting build up to the final. I think most neutrals would be hoping the all Ireland winners come from this match.
Well done to both teams for what you have done so far this championship.

Replying To hlynch12: "The Dubs haven't a hope. Kerry to put down a marker and hammer them." You have predicted Dublin losses 3 consecutive times now and they won each time. I suppose a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Replying To hlynch12: "The Kerry - Dublin championship rivalry pre-2011 was built upon championship clashes in a "neutral" Croke Park. Dublin have been playing their home league games in Croke Park since 2011. It has changed the dynamic of Kerry - Dublin championship clashes in what is now Dublin's home league ground...
Kerry's record against Dublin in Croke Park since 2011 makes for dismal reading. Kerry are still approaching these games with a pre-2011 mindset. If Kerry travel to Croke Park on Sunday with the mindset they might have approached taking on Armagh in Armagh in Round 3, Kerry might have some reasonable chance of backing up the surprising odds that have installed Kerry as favourites...
Interestingly when Kerry and Dublin clashed in the 2001 quarter final and replay in Thurles, Kerry had offered toss of a coin for home advantage. Dublin for only reasons that Dublin can explain - declined the offer!!" Taken straight from a kerry poster posting on boards.ie

P.P has a 3 point handicap.I only backed us twice this year against Donegal and Galway.I might be over cinfident but you had Dubs in the gutter Fionn.We are here on merit." Anyway, hopefully you are proved right and I am proved wrong, btw.

Replying To hlynch12: "Kerry . They love the dry ball and hard ground..kick passing and heads up football. The proper stuff" I once saw Mick O'Connell jump 20 feet into the air, catch the ball, kick a mighty point from 113 yards out, and then catch the kick out before he landed back on the ground.
Everyone there said that it was the best day of their lives, especially supporters from the other county who carried him on their shoulders back to the Kingdom and swam beside his boat back to Valentia, many of them drowning for their troubles or eaten by dolphins.

Replying To hlynch12: "The Dubs haven't a hope. Kerry to put down a marker and hammer them." 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.

Replying To DubSanIarthar: "Spot on. The statistics also don't take into account the quality of the panel at various points in time ... and the quality of opposing panels.
Under Pillar Caffrey, Dublin had a squad that should've won at least one All-Ireland, but for various reasons, most of which were down to the quality of his management, this wasn't achieved. The change of management, with Pat Gilroy, proved this and we all know where Jim Gavin subsequently brought that squad (hugely helped by a golden generation of players coming through into a great setup).
Most observers would think that the Galway squad under PJ became their strongest in a generation (I don't think many people would credit PJ for this - massive under-age talent came through not long after he started). KW inherited a mess and just didn't have this talent at his disposal ... and as mentioned already, Mayo had an unbelievable squad at the time. If Galway had found a Pat Gilroy or a Jim Gavin to replace KW, it is my belief that the likes of Paul Conroy would be retiring with at least 2 or 3 celtic crosses in his back pocket." You's didnt even win one and you're talking about 2 or 3 All Irelands ??? this sort of talk is delusional. 3 All Irelands and your in the realm of greateat ever teams, the Armagh team of the 00's is one of the best sides I've seen and they one won.
Galway have had some good talent over the past few years but this sort of talk is why you have mostly fallen short of ever even performing on the biggst days never mind winning. Sense of entitlement and great success don't go hand in hand.

Replying To westmeathgaa11: "I'm not being funny but some of the players you mentioned below are operating at senior B level and there's clearly a gulf in class between senior A and B. For instance one of the players you mentioned one of the podcast members said this was his first time seeing him even though he has started with a senior A club since 2024. Make of that what you will" We must be the worst county for this senior A v senior B players thing. Clubs are in B because their teams are not good enough to get to A or in Pollards case they had a bad year. That's not a reflection on a player and I hope no players ever read this because the snobbery when it comes to that has been unnecessary. Should the county team be only senior A players? If we don't have the best players available regarded of ability, interest, age or availability should the county refuse to enter a team? Should we only call up players from senior A? Bizarre comments.

Delighted to hear on the podcasts this week that they all seem to be against the football format. Even Alan was saying the gap between the two grades is massive, and it's nobody's fault but their own for not being in the A group. He even mentioned that if you're going to finish 4th, you might nearly be better off finishing 5th or 6th in the A group, as you'd have a better chance of making a quarter-final the following year.
