Dublin V Kerry NFL Final

Hopefully these Kerry men go easy on the Dubs boys today...

Once the game isn't decided by the ref that is all you can ask for.

Small enough crowd around Croker so maybe that signifies the lack of sgnificant importance of this game with regards to the challenge for the big one in Sept.

Hope to see a win for Dublin today. All this moaning from Kerry can't disguise the fact that they are not good enough to beat Dublin.

Looking forward to an open game. Can't see it as Kerry will have 13-14 in their own half most of the game. Probably be a repeat of last years with Dublin winning pulling up. 5 leagues in a row. Culchies might not like them, but they are one of the greatest teams ever. On a side note, is there any chance ex players could shut up throwing mud st each other. It's embarrassing. You had the limelight when you played, leave it to the current players to do the talking on the pitch.

Somebody in the Dublin set-up obviously feels that the ex-players have a role to play in the media.

No 13^14 in own half for any team so far.
And its less the limelight and more the fee they get on all sides I'd say

Entertaining first 10 mins with both defences on top.

As a Donegal man I am enjoying the defensive aspect especially the sight of 14 Dubs behind the ball but what clondalkin is making of it all I can only guess.

Kerry dropped off kickouts now , just going to attack them in spurts. First ten mins a joy to watch has tightened up since then

Oh dear it's already obvious whose going to win this. It's just a matter of by how much? Thought this was going to be a tight game.

So far so good by the referee Don't know what D.C. done to get the black card

The script has been changed with Diarmuid Connollys much deserved black card. It will be a tighter game.

Where's Walsh card. Oh that's right, only things like that apply to Connolly. No consistency in officiating and that's most people problem with this black card.

The referee from the division 3 final yesterday is way better than any of the referees that get the big matches.

Game has livened up to no end with a championship feel to it.

Two black cards deserved in my book.

What makes the Kerry card black and not red? Hit Connolly high and took him down when he was in on goal if he didn't.

Surprised at Neilan - Kerry finding it very hard to get any frees. McCarthy has got away with striking.

Dragged kerry lad to the deck. Stupid and lazy rather than run with him. Pointless but deserved . Two in a row so needs a word before summer
