Kerry Vs Tyrone

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Agreed, i thought Coldrick had a good game. Would have liked to see him get the final
The tyrone tackling was extremely hard and borderline but it was fair, coldrick was right to let it play. Kerry lads had ample opportunity to move the ball but ketpt running into trouble time and time again waiting for a whistle.

Its why im disappointed to see mcquillan get the final, i was hoping to see a good physical battle between 2 hardy teams being let go, but mcquillan is whistle happy and will be dishing out the cards from the word go

Replying To HokeyPokey:  ""I thought David Coldrick had a poor game, the sort of display a fella puts in when he's trying to get noticed for the final.

The Tyrone physios were on and off so many times I thought they'd be in danger of cramping up themselves. Coldrick didn't seem to be able to keep tabs on them. But they fairly took the sting out of the black cards all the same."

Darragh Ó Sé wrote the above. As far as I remember, Clifford's injury took up most of the time lost. When McCann and Harte were down, they had both had good whacks. McCann getting a head collision which he was taken off for to be checked. Ó Sé also failed to mention that there were two black cards that should have been given to Kerry which were clearer than those given to Tyrone. I think it's fairly poor writing."
Thought David Goldrick did pretty well considering intensity levels didn't drop at all for 100 minutes . Can't recall him missing two black cards for Kerry . Was there a sneaky hand trip by Jack Barry on Pádraig Hampsey after he dispossessed him seconds before David Clifford spilled the ball leading to the first goal ? would have been a harsh black as it didn't look intentional. The late hit on an open Kieran McGeary after he parted to Peter Harte for the first goal was a yellow card, ironically if Gavin Whyte hadn't been so intent on lining him up he could easily have got a hand in to deflect or even block and prevented a goal being conceeded… good use of the advantage rule by the referee. David Clifford did escape a yellow for lunging with an elbow at Conor Myler resulting in Niall Morgan's point from 71m . Thank goodness Myler was moving away from him and escaped a nasty injury. Was hoping TV replay would have shown a head on view (or hear from someone present ) of Peter Harte appearing to be tripped darting between Paul Geaney and Mike Breen around the 9th minute , got treatment for over a minute while play continued. Against all that there was an obvious off the ball obstruction (and a tap over free ) by Conor McKenna on Stephen O Brien around the 10th minute. Overall I think David Goldrick got most of the big calls right in a pulsating, action packed encounter. Great credit to both teams.
Kieran McGeary deservedly got MOTM award from both RTÉ & Sky Sports after a huge shift, numerous interceptions, drove the team on and was unlucky not get on the score sheet himself. Conor Myler must have been a close second , amazing fitness levels tracking back and driving forward. Taking a hand pass from Niall Morgan, going on an 80m run accelerating past Dara Moynihan before setting up Ronan McNamee's point summed up his day.. a very under rated player.

Replying To Canuck:  ""Tyrone were great and deserved to win" BUT. I was told that when you make a statement and then say but it negates any thing said before it and suggests you actually do not believe what you just said. That plus Spillane had to shout and keep saying let me finish which Kavanagh did but when Kavanagh was making his point Spillane kept shouting over him again. I would have liked to have heard Kavanagh's point of view but the presenter made sure that this did not happen or was just incompetent. Pretty shoddy if you ask me."
Yeah I have replayed it and it is very hard to make out what Cavanagh is saying with the noise generated by Spillane. Maybe Joanne could hear it because it was rehearsed or she closer but it was just a rambling rant. I look at her treatment of Brolly and Spillane, not all people in RTE are equal.

I can picture 50,000 Kerry supporters in Jackie Haely Rae's pub watching Spillane's rant, and shouting and cheering, "G'wan the Bull, g'wan the Bull, g'wan the Bull", in the same voice as the Bird said those lines in Flanagan's pub, in that great scene from JB Keane's masterpiece, The Field.
