Dublin will beat Kerry in the final. In fact, Dublin would beat the pick of Mayo Kerry and Donegal. Donegal haven't a hope and Kerry will need another ref like they had today if they are to have a chance. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 31/08/2014 17:09:35 1645255 Link 0 |

Those odd sounds about right, the ref won the match for Kerry yesterday, they shouldn't be in the All Ireland final. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 31/08/2014 19:45:10 1645507 Link 0 |

Correct Treaty_Exile, Kerry were the better side. Kept going and were stronger at the end. Brolly made some very valid points about Mayo coming up short constantly over the last few years. There's always a reason.. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 31/08/2014 20:03:45 1645525 Link 0 |
I'm surprised at that, I thought they'd make Kerry favourites for sure. Ah well, Kerry fans can genuinely claim to be underdogs this time! ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 31/08/2014 20:04:18 1645527 Link 0 |
They were the better team in the last 10 mins of extra time, but were not the better team up to that point. Every neutral watching that match saw the non frees they got up that point county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 31/08/2014 20:06:40 1645528 Link 0 |

kerry were the better team..donaghy got some soft frees but also lots of frees were not given to him which should have been..dominated mayo at midfield and if not for a goal keeper mistake probably would have won in normal time..also won the game with o donoghue not being able to move with 5 mins to go and extra time fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 31/08/2014 20:21:04 1645544 Link 0 |
Who got the point in second half of injury time coming in from main stand of the City end? He held off two Mayo defenders and slotted it. The reason we go to games is to see magnificent, game-winning, scores like that. Fair play to that man. I think he was a sub? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7359 - 31/08/2014 20:33:20 1645553 Link 0 |
Yerra, ya, 100% correct there County Man. Sure when did we ever really deserve to be in a final. Sure in the annals of GAA history yesterday's game will quickly be forgotten don't you know for any game to qualify for being a classic GAA match the first rule is it has to be one Kerry lost!

Not talking about other years hermit, Kerry obviously had great teams down through the years, but they didn't deserve to win yesterday. You're looking at it through Kerry's eyes, that is understandable, but Mayo were the better team. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 31/08/2014 22:00:12 1645663 Link 0 |
Kerry deserved to win. Should have a cracking final now. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 01/09/2014 09:17:41 1645690 Link 0 |
Kerry's tactic in last few mins of extra time was to retain possession and try to stop Mayo from scoring a goal when they didn't have possession. Worked pretty well unfortunately. Well done to both teams. 2 great games. Row at end was non event really. Silly from both teams but stupid from Mayo 2 get involved as we were 3 points down at time. pdempsey (Mayo) - Posts: 1313 - 01/09/2014 09:31:30 1645700 Link 0 |

people were saying that kerry were naive when they let dublins kevin mc menaman run through their defence to score in the 2011 final without pulling him down, kerry did what most teams would do in those last few seconds to win. mayo would have done the same given the chance. rumours going around that connacht rugby after signing the mayo fan that entered the field near the end!!! looking forward to a good final. jj19 (Galway) - Posts: 448 - 01/09/2014 09:44:35 1645717 Link 0 |
