Ha you gave the team team a run for their mone and they ran you close, if the later games in the champs were in kilarney yee might have a few extra SAMs instead of shame, I was there, was the most comical game of football I've attended in many a year, brilliant fun though!

A statement of fact is all that is and nothing that plenty of folk havn't said already. Kerry aren't that far off but the current Dublin side are exceptional and will rightly go down as one of the best to play the game. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 11/12/2016 10:37:41 1939487 Link 0 |

I don't know how people come up with these sorts of opinions. Last time Kerry played Tyrone whilst the score was close, Kerry in my opinion were clearly a better team. Tyrone have a good system but they don't have the forwards to seriously trouble a top team. They're very reliant on 2 players: Harte and Donnelly whereas Kerry were competitive even though they were missing arguably their best player in O'Donoghue.

Still upset about the immortals display in 97 I see! The fact a fella 'with only' two Celtic Crosses is held up higher then most with 6 or 8 down here tells you all you need to know. Till on 2017, An Riocht Abu TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 11/12/2016 19:41:28 1939578 Link 0 |

on another note this is a man that has done his talking on the pitch, whatever any teams says about their current star players,be it Murphy, O"Shea, O'Donoghue, Gooch other greats like peter etc... now a patch on this Mary;s lad... had it in spade within the white lines and starting to prove himself in the dug put as well Horsebox77 (Kerry) - Posts: 5491 - 11/12/2016 20:29:15 1939588 Link 0 |

It always baffled me why he rarely started games for Kerry and was largely a super sub, is that the reason why he retired at 32 from the County team, it must have been frustrating with his talent and not making the starting 15.

that was only in his last two years under Paidi - personally I would have had him anywhere from 8-15

Didn't like being on the bench and didn't get on with Paudi either apparently, but who knows the full story. Rumour has it that Jack O'Connor invited him back when he took over but he was 34 at that stage and he didn't take him up on the offer. I always felt he retired too early myself, and could have had another Celtic Cross if he had stayed.

I was a whipper snapper at the time, but just couldn't believe having him on the bench. I won't admit in public, but I always tried to emulate the game at club level of Fitzgerald and MFR as a kid growing at that time as players I looked up to and admired, ha clearly that didn't go to plan. :) One of the great GAA tragedies was Kerry's years in the wilderness when Fitzgerald was in his youthful pomp, coverage being not what it is today, you lads must have been spoiled seeing him ply his trade for Mary's, South Kerry and in the provincials.

To be honest you know there is something positive happening when you have a large crowd to watch U21s against Tipp seniors last weekend. The extended squad is ferocious for places. Lads outside Kerry won't recognise names but in my mind we have backs coming through that are like the 70s backs. The minors are another great bunch. Fingers crossed we will pull an AI out of it tin the next couple years to reward the young lads Murph (Kerry) - Posts: 45 - 13/01/2017 23:47:58 1945582 Link 1 |

Please stick to the topic please. The fact is Kerry haven't been able to beat Dublin when it matters in nearly a decade now, regardless of how many times ex-players suggest that the gap isn't that big. greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 14/01/2017 15:20:51 1945653 Link 1 |

Yeah there is a sense of things moving in the right direction. Some of the U21's are very good and should start breaking through to the championship team this year and next. Hopefully we can start giving the Dubs a run for their money very soon. Apparently JOD is also finally over his injuries. That'll be like getting a new player as he has barely had an impact for two years. Hope he stays healthy. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 14/01/2017 15:31:12 1945656 Link 1 |

Wrong . Kerry beat Tyrone in 2015. There's a clear top three and they are Dublin, Mayo and Kerry. Tyrone are not at that level . They are closer to Monaghan and Donegal than they are to the top three .

I wouldn't read too much into royaldunnes comments he has zero time for Kerry so that blinkers his opinions. I don't care personally about top 4 etc.. it's Sam that matters , second is nowhere. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 14/01/2017 20:19:34 1945717 Link 1 |

It's a pity to see so many posters having a go at him for stating an opinion. As a selector now with the team he has to do whatever he can to boost confidence in the squad. Every management team worth their salt are doing the same thing. Dublin posters do their bit for their team by building them up as being unbeatable. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 14/01/2017 20:35:08 1945723 Link 0 |

First is first second is nowhere. The debate around who is 2nd, 3rd or 4th best is pointless in my opinion. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11232 - 15/01/2017 13:00:23 1945806 Link 0 |

Mayo specialise in being second
