Dublin played better than Kerry in the first half Led by a point and held Kerry to 1-02 I have watched that game maybe 20 times in full The studio said that Dublin had the better of the first half and had Kerry where they wanted them I think your opening sentence is pure daft if I'm honest - the better side for 60 minutes???? Dublin won the first half and started the 2nd half very well - Kerry got on top for a 10-15minute period in the whole match jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 26/08/2016 16:00:00 1906401 Link 1 |

Sorry Jimbob, you're memory of the game cannot be questioned. It's always great watching back your teams wins in a big game. My memory is probably a little clouded, as a neuteral you always find yourself leaning towards one of the teams and it's usually the underdog. I was definitely hoping for Dublin to win that day, it was nothing against Kerry but Dublin hadn't win it in a while so that made my decision for me, and to be honest watching it I just felt Kerry were that bit better and in control of the game up until the last 10 mins but thats just my opinion. I was delighted for Dublin at the end and it was such an exciting finish. The funny thing is that the tables have somewhat turned now, even though Kerry won Sam 2 years ago, Dublin are the red hot favs and rightly so. I can see myself hoping for a Kerry win on sunday but I'm really just looking forward to a great game between the 2 heavy weights of GAA football.

Nah no worries You're fecking entitle to your opinion Kerry had control for a period of the 2nd half, got sloppy, Dublin got a bit of luck and majorly capitalised with some great scores from play Just feel that we def had the better of the 1st half and start of 2nd half jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 26/08/2016 16:58:46 1906430 Link 0 |

Depends which camp you're in. If you're a dub then Dublin played outstanding football and overpowered Kerry. If you're from Kerry then you let it slip away, mcmenimins goal was the result of a completely unforced error, and turned the game for example. I don't see anything particularly wrong with either viewpoint. That's football. Players will always be disappointed after losing, especially such a close one. Im surprised to hear Sheehan bringing it up at this stage but players are often taken out of context, I wouldn't take any notice. Both sets of players will be 100% focused on Sunday and I doubt Dublin need anything to pin up on their dressing room wall to get motivated. I doubt very much it'll have any bearing whatsoever on the game. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 26/08/2016 18:29:28 1906462 Link 0 |

Take your green and gold glasses off!!! H/T Kerry 1-2 Dublin 0-6 (Total of 3 scores for 37mins Football ) 40mins Kerry 1-2 Dublin 0-8 43mins -63min Kerry Get on Top Lead 1-10 to 0-09 Were they outscore Dublin 0-8 to 0-1. For the other 53mins of that match Kerry score the grand total of 0-3. 63min to 72mins Dublin outscore Kerry 1-3 0-1 - Kerry's only score is a hail Mary from the basketball player. Dublin dominated that final 10mins. Apart from the 3rd Quarter Dublin were the better team but that doesn't fit you agenda. You should look no further than the 2 sullivans for the reason you lost. Its an absolute myth that Kerry let that game slip Dublin won it had the bottle in the last 10mins when it counted jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 26/08/2016 20:29:50 1906481 Link 1 |

While I'm sick of being dragged into arguments about this game surely you can understand why Sheehan may have felt that this was one they left behind? It was a great Dublin win but could have swung the other way very easily. i don't think we've had a more exciting final since.

I would just like to say that the "Hail Mary" by Donaghey in that match was one of the best points ever scored in an all Ireland final. Credit where it's due.

Sheehan comes across as a very bad loser as I said before his carry on at the end of the league final was terrible. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 26/08/2016 21:14:51 1906493 Link 0 |

No point trying to be cute about it. I'm fed up with this mumbo jumbo that managers and players come out with before games. It's the same generic answers by all, "it's going to be tight", "we'll need to be on top of our game" blah blah blah!! If the Kerry pundits genuinely think they will win they they should write it and if not then they should again write it, same with any pundit from Dublin.

Agree with that, definite red. Declan was half concussed and guess who made the totally and utterly uncharacteristic mistake for the Dublin goal? Water under the bridge of course :)

2011 was a massively tight game and Dublins hunger won the day, they had the momentum and better fitness in the final stages what a game. There will never be agreement about it, but the fact remains Kerry were put in a box in 2011 and have been put back in their box everytime they have faced Dublin since, Sunday will mark half a decade of Dublin Dominance over the Kingdom if they win.

I'm 50 yrs old. A typical fair weather fan. In all that time, I've never heard too many excuses for failure in the Kingdom. Griping, occasionally. Recriminations, sporadically. Feuding, cyclically. What has always rankled is a failure to perform. Last September is a good example of that. Worse was the failure to quickly get to grips with 'puke' football in the noughties. Kiwis have a similar mindset: they cherish the memory of certain defeats to motivate them to avoid more of the same, whenever possible. Will the game be dirty? No, but let's hope the ref doesn't start writing to Santie. Will Dublin wear Kerry down with waves of counter attacking and long range scoring? Not if we do the unthinkable and play defensively, as Donegal do. Will Donaghy and Walsh be deployed if we have to chase it? If needs must...but...with subtlety and variation, please plike (Kerry) - Posts: 569 - 27/08/2016 08:18:28 1906589 Link 0 |

Put in a box? They lost focus and lost in 2011. It happens. Learn from. Move on. Nothing to be gained from blathering about it endlessly. As for subsequent matches, Dublin 's results are a reflection of their talent and application. Arguably, Kerry would be on the cusp of five in a row with those players... so... spare me the tasteless, half hashed and lukewarm coddle!
