It is well known how little respect Kerry have for the league, yet they have won that competition more times than the 9 Ulster counties combined! This chat of Kerry not being able to win All-Irelands if they had to come through Ulster is awfully tiresome. They have a 100% record in the qualifiers as well just for good measure. The things that can be achieved with great footballers is remarkable. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 10/10/2014 14:47:06 1662397 Link 0 |
Personally, I'd welcome an All-Ireland open draw and the end of a provincial system. A league system with home and away games and then some sort of play off system at the end - seems to me the fair way to go. Kingdomson (Kerry) - Posts: 244 - 10/10/2014 15:57:11 1662417 Link 0 |
Kingdomson A great post and it is refreshing to see a Kerry man admit that the system is flawed. I do not quite agree that the Munster counties mentioned would consistently compete well in a heat of the battle Ulster Championship, possibly against the weaker counties in the province but even then I would fancy Antrim and Fermanagh to win through. But I agree change is on the way and it will do the sport good. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 10/10/2014 16:16:05 1662430 Link 0 |
I dont think that there are too many anti Kerry.Kerry won the All Ireland fair and square and 99% of us congratulate you.The 1% anti seem to be the few begrudging posters we see here and its only a few.I dont know what ye did to Roscommon to get such an anti response. I am from a neighbouring county that suffered at your hands a few years ago when we got close to you but even though I was cheering for Donegal in the final I applaud your team and congratulate you.I was in Tralee last weekend and the Donegal supporters got great praise from ye Kerry people,now some Mayo supporters didnt.Anyway well done.Kerry could be placed in any province and they would still win. naharcs (Limerick) - Posts: 59 - 10/10/2014 16:26:37 1662437 Link 0 |
the idea that kerry wouldnt win if they were in ulster is utter nonsense soma i agree...they would get tougher games though yes some years i would argue and get beaten some days..but when it comes down to it they would still win more often than not....cork are as good if not better than every ulster side every year bar 1-2 usually so there playing a top class opponent every year so at least theres that while in leinster there is utterly nothing to challenge the dubs..an overrated kildare side when mcgeeney was with them was the height of it in recent years fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 10/10/2014 16:37:40 1662445 Link 0 |
i really do hope the system is changed soon and freshened up as people are just tired of it at the minute and the product really does need to change fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 10/10/2014 16:43:18 1662452 Link 0 |
Do ye really think we couldn't win Ulster? westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 10/10/2014 17:05:37 1662462 Link 0 |
sam1884 if only there was a recent championship game that would indicate whether Limerick would be capable of beating Ulster sides like Antrim....And Limerick are unfortunately a distant 5th in terms of sides in Munster, but this is partly due to the real progress Tipp and Clare are making. If you swapped Tipp and Clare for Antrim and Cavan I would give them a real chance of making the Ulster final, however I would give Cavan and Antrim absolutely no chance of making the Munster final.

Mayo are the true champions this year. Poor refereeing and playing replay in Munster Limerick handed them the title. Wake up people. Mayo were robbed!!!. Mayo were robbed. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 10/10/2014 21:15:58 1662545 Link 0 |
Tyrone in 2008 played 9/10? games to win Sam, they went on to beat Kerry in the final,why did they win, simply they were the best team in the land that year. kerryrowz (Kerry) - Posts: 833 - 11/10/2014 11:08:24 1662595 Link 0 |

Lads its farcical.Could you imagine a Champions League draw with Real Madrid being picked in a handy group of 5 annually,while Bayern get picked in a 9 team group of death every year and Barca being drawn in a group of 12 every year.Haha stop will ye tis gone beyond a joke about 30 years ago. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 11/10/2014 12:24:30 1662618 Link 0 |
