Best of luck to Monaghan this weekend. A wonderful opportunity to reach the last 4 and who knows after that. Some wonderful footballers and always great supporters who I do enjoy talking to whenever we meet each other. Good luck!

Replying To legendzxix: "It was same story going to PuC for the semi final last year. The game itself went to extra time. Saturday evening's game will take on a life of its own. I was consistent all winter warning about Tyrone. Out of Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal - Tyrone provided a tougher challenge last year." There's a big difference between a Munster semi-final and a knockout All-Ireland match in Croke Park. Kerry were tipping along last year, but once they got to the business end, they laid waste to Ulster's finest. We saw similar last weekend when it was do or die against Armagh.
Tyrone, mainly through Kilpatrick who was outstanding, put up a decent fight last year, but they were physically overwhelmed all over the pitch. Kerry turned over a lot of ball and their forwards were able to find a lot of space. The game was over with a lot of time still left.

Replying To farneygael3: "Serious opportunity for both. We are there on merit, I think Louth are there on luck" I really hope this is a joke?

Replying To Dothesimplethingswell: "If you the papers this week you would see two articles one by a 3 time all ireland winning hurling manager, another by a 6 time all Ireland winning footballer and there are 3 current county managers weighing in with what Im referring to and Kerry county Council and others to follow just as I stated...Isn't this coming from voters if the political parties are getting involved?? You can say what you want but what I said is the complete opposite of populist its merely a reflection of what a lot of people are thinking." There's an old saying that "paper never refused ink" and it's very true.
Those newspaper columns are just more examples of populism. Write that "all matches should be on free-to-air TV" and readers will think you're a great fella. Write that "all matches can't be on free-to-air TV because ....." and people will think you're an awful you-know-what.
Am not sure you understand the mechanics of Local Authorities either. Just because one councillor of one party proposes a motion and others from other parties support it doesn't mean it's a national policy of any of those parties, or make it any more likely to happen.
Look, I'd actually love to see every championship match on TV. But I'm realistic enough to understand why it can't happen. It's a pity certain others don't share those levels of realism.

Replying To TheFlaker: "Why do posters start threads where there is already an identical one to this? Sad." I think it's partly laziness by the creater of the topic and partly bad administration. There is already a Topic 'Football Championship 2026'. The question posed in the title above 'Kerry All Ireland Champions 2026?', could and should be in 'Football Championship 2026'. It's annoying having to trawl through duplicate variations of Topic titles on the same subjects. There also seems to be one or two posters who are constantly creating click bait Topics.

Replying To legendzxix: "All 50-50 games. Baffled by those dismissing Tyrone. 3 of the 4 favourites going into last year's quarter finals fell at that hurdle.
If Dublin get through this weekend, they'll be hard to stop once they get on the momentum train of home league ground advantage at the business stage of the championship.
Galway are the away team on Sunday and will have to give extra consideration for that. Galway will be confident that if they get through this weekend that they have the game plan and players to go all the way.
Louth's results bar the blip in the Leinster semi final have been impressive. It would have me leaning towards them to get through this weekend.
Of the other 3 quarters, my attempt at predictions are: Mayo, Louth and Galway." Poor Kerry, they usually praise any county but their own before a game, then when they've won the AI there's no stopping their self praise! Cute but transparent.

I don't think current Kerry team would have beaten their 2010 - 2019 team, never mind the 2004 - 09 outfit.
Nor would they have beaten Tyrone 2005 - 8, nor of course Dublin 2011 - 20, a shadow of which team spanked them just three years ago, and which could still do on a going day. As could 3/4 of other teams still left. Truth.

Their natural fear of a dublin jersey post 2011 kicked into gear then.
Agree generally with your point though. Barring a couple of generational players this kerry team is a tad overrated.
