Better players will win Kerry , their abilty to change to play whatever tactics Tyrone adopt is why .
On the other hand I did not think we,d see Tyrone in the semi final so anything is possible , as a contest I really am looking forward to this , however its a game that brings out the very worst on HS , cant say I will read or post to much more , not bothered who wins , there was a time when Id be screaming for Kerry to win as Ive had such great days over the last four decades against them , but you know since our last couple of win,s and my trip to Kilarney this year , Ive found there a different animal when your beating them .

Thought you were talking about your Girlfriend there. was gna tell you to get rid of her.

I can see Tyrone's style of play altering on the 23rd it always seems to be the case when playing against Kerry and non better than the win against them in 2003 when they swarmed kerry. Any player that had the ball was surrounded by two or three different Tyrone men. I'd like to think MH is smarter than that and has a real plan of attack against Kerry. Not once have we played Kerry with the same style of football 08 we didnt have Pete and O'Neill didn't start cause he was drafted back in after he previously retired from county football and coming up against the "twin towers" with Big Joe out, if they try this i think McNamee will be more than capable under the high ball.

Cork showed that Kerry are very, very beatable. In the first game they should have won by 5 or 6 points pulling up. In the replay Cork were mentally beaten before they took to the pitch. Kerry have that effect on them. When Cork throw away the opportunity to beat Kerry their heads go down and the battle is lost. Over the past few years Kerry have been allowed to dictate the agenda and style in big games right from the start. Tyrone have to get in their faces and put doubt in them, Kerry don't respond well to doubt and pressure as Tyrone have shown the past decade; more of the same is required.

Eh, Damo you lost in Killarney....

However, I'm sure you're very proud of beating us twice now in 35 years,

Fair play to Dublin that's a wonderful achievement ;)

Going to be a tough game, if we can get a couple of early goals and build up a lead we should beat Tyrone. Kerry will make sure this time they will be ready for Tyrone tactics ie take no **** from them bring it on lads.

Plike obviously history is not your strong point, I think the game you refer to is the 1975 Ai final, the one where Mickey ned o sullivan headbutted Sean Dohertys elbow whilst at the same time body checking robbie kelleher The 83 final was won by Dublin, Kerry didn't make it out of munster that year because Cork put manners on them and then Dublin put manners on Cork in the semi final replay down in pairc ui chaoimh! Happy to set the record straight for you!

Tiernan Mc Canns actions were stupid and wrong yes, do they deserve a 8 week ban.... no

I should also add that Kerry are a fine, fine side with some excellent players and David Moran is way out in front for Player of the Year. However if teams are to compete against them and have any chance they have to get in their faces, annoy and rattle them quickly; you cannot show them any respect on the pitch or they will eat you up as Cork and Mayo will testify. When Cork started to dominate Kerry in the first game you could see the doubt come into Kerry.

I've just read someone suggest Mc Cann get 12 months jail time for the dive!!

If that doesn't exemplify the craziness of this issue nothing will.

I'm betting this match will be tight with the winner emerging in the final 10 minutes, Kerry obviously favorites but i'd imagine they won't be looking forward to this match one bit!

Maurice Deegan will have a huge part to play in the outcome of this game, it's crucial that he acts from the first whistle to cut out the usual cynicism and playacting from the boys in green and gold! Oh no wait sure Kerry don't indulge in that sort of behaviour sure aren't they the purists! Silly me!

I saw a desperate display from Tyrone in omagh who needed a very dodgy penalty to beat a very average Meath.
Kerry by as much as they like.

@dubjohn.

Reread what I wrote. If I needed you to remind me of history, I'd be rightly banjacksed.

In Kerry, the sorest loss was to Offaly in 82. We missed a penalty and they played to the wire. They were a great team and well worthy of the win.The biggest crowd I ever saw in Killarney greeted that team for the homecoming. Respect.

Can Tyrone win? Yes, they can. MH is no fool. SC is a dynamic player. If luck- and the ref- goes their way... Hopefully, it will be won by brilliant scores and not by grimly gripping the blanket.
