Kerry Vs Tyrone

Replying To AfricanGael:  "That's not a legitimate reason Mick, because I don't pretend to be from any county, so it's not applicable to me at all.

I think you are wrong to use someone's county to put context on their views because you try and turn legitimate views into something personal which completely takes away from the posters point to begin with.

If someone from Cork has an strongly held opinion about something relating to Kerry for example then it's easy to reply and say "sure you're from Cork" of course you'll say that.

The same could be said for many counties.

So that does nothing for any debate.

I couldn't care less how many accounts people have or I couldn't care less what people think of my opinions or factual content either.

There are too many posters here who are too afraid to critically analyze anything, they are more interested in collecting thumbs up, house angels they are known as.

Clearly the Hermit is hated by the Dubs because they are totally consumed by him, he's a poster with 10,960 likes, obviously many people agree with his views.

It's an anonymous forum like many others Mick so secrecy is part and parcel of forums like this, that's why they are called anonymous.

But if you want to tell everyone who you are and what you had for your breakfast then use Facebook or some other platform like that.

Not for me Mick."
Fine. People don't know about me either or what clubs I'm attached to. They know that I'm Mick. I'm from Kerry and living in Dublin. However I don't tell untruths on the forum and I give my viewpoint honestly. Sometimes with anger but so be it.

he's from Kerry. Does't want to declare an allegiance because he wants to deride and jeer others without having to get any back.

Any I wouldn't be nosy and ask you either, you see my point.

If it makes avonali and the other dubbies feel better to think I am the Hermit or I am from Kerry then who am to deprive them of their daily fix.

Behind it all I'm sure the Hermit is having a good laugh about them, I am anyway, they are cheap entertainment.

You got some things right in your assessment about me but there was only one poster who ever came close.

The truth is the first casualty of war Mick so if people don't want to believe the truth what can I do about it.

I could tell you everything you want to know, but you probably wouldn't believe me and certainly the Northsiders wouldn't, so what's the point, so I'll keep them scratching their delusional heads.

Some man you are talking about "allegiance" .

Your the fella who wanted to rush to the pub at half time even though Dublin were 6 points up and you didn't even wait to cheer your six in a row team off the field.

If that's allegiance , you can stick it.

We learned a lot about the Dublin team when Mayo beat them, we also learned a lot about their fans as well.

Full of fair weather fans like yourself.

You keep referring to the Hermits 10960 likes. Well, I'll keep this simple for you. He/you post very regularly on here. 6423 posts is a lot of posts. I'm sure even you will appreciate that the number of likes a person receives is commensurate with the number of posts they make. That's a like rate of 1.7 likes per post which would indicate that his posts are very unpopular. You are. plainly very interested in the number of likes a person has accumulated. Well if you look at the bottom of their posts you'll see many posts they have made. The Hermit is ignored by most Dubs because they recognise blatant prejudice when they see it. But you Hermit are obsessed with the Dubs because our great team has just eclipsed your own.

Lookit its Tuesday and the SF is on Saturday - we don't have time for this.

It's still not been established how much contact, if any, Duff made with O'Neills head in 1983.
And we haven't even begun to discuss the time TJ Gilmore got whistled by Patsy Devlin for over soloing the ball along the Dublin endline in the 74' final.

Let's get a move on here.

Replying To CiarraiMick:  "I would like to know what county you ré from so I can put your views into better context. I know some posters probably pretend to be from other counties but that to me is silly. I have no doubt you are Not the hermit but why the secrecy? Have you not accused some posters of having other accounts? You have made a few bold statements too and did nt elaborate when questioned."
AG's just a troll Mick, ignore him.
This game could be closer than many expect, if Tyrone have got over the covid outbreak ok Kerry could be a bit rusty and complacent.

They seek him here
They seek him there..... Whatever

Look you don't have to be a genius to figure out that someone so opinionated would surely have to have at least one post on his home county/country forum. Take a trip around them and find out for yourself.
If you can't find him/her then they have either no County allegiance OR are using more than one username. Simple as that
Not telling your County allegiance while bashing other Counties is cowardice, just like the big bully in the playground, best ignored. Or the cat toying with the mouse. If someone gets stuck into my county without the option of a retort then I ignore them. If you freely allow this done to yourself then so be it
Using the "you're stalking me" I'm a victim nonsense is only a ploy to deflect genuine legitimate questions any debater would have about a fellow debater. Like where you from etc
It's all a bit tiresome seeing this take place on every f***g topic you click on

The game: I'm with HuddHastings on this, everything set up for a Tyrone ambush if everyone is back to full fitness

mhuinicean, there is no way they could be back to full fitness. They will have missed at least 2 weeks of full squad sessions. Most people I know who have had Covid are not right for up to a month or so after. They may feel ok in training and generally but once they are taken near their limits in a match they'll feel the after effects.
I don't think any team could be ready for such a test after an outbreak like that.
I just can't see past a Kerry win by 5 pts or more.

I think it'll be Kerry at a canter to be honest. I'd like to see them getting a tough game before Mayo but I can't see Tyrone being in a position to challenge them given the Covid outbreak.

Darragh Ó'Sé saying Kerry deserve more credit for their performances so far, very little yerra yerra in his article, makes me think they're laser focussed on this one below in the Kingdom, I'd worry for Tyrone.

I think Tyrone are going into this match with nothing to lose, if there're beat they have done well to get there considering all that went on, fingers crossed for a performance. On a side note,, rumours that some Monaghan players played Ulster final knowing they had tested positive with Covid

Considering how we finished the game there should be no excuses for you on Saturday so

Take your point but Tyrone are not new to the yerra yerra either, be interesting to see team selection, whoever plays will be fit to play
