If you wanted to play them in a traditional game of football they won, but now if you want to reduce the game to a foul ridden defensive shambles, they'll happily get down and dirty with you, and they'll win that game too. The insurance policy for teams with less talent than the kingdom (i,e, pretty much everyone except Dublin) is now redundant. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 27/09/2014 15:43:49 1657464 Link 0 |

lol, we'll enjoy the winter. As they said at the beginning of this year - the team that beats the capital will win the All-Ireland. Kerry or the team that got passed us have won 13 of the 15 All-Irelands this century. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7844 - 27/09/2014 17:35:08 1657488 Link 0 |

That's right and that specific trait is Gaelic football and you're right we have mastered it, much more than your predictions. mlcollins (Kerry) - Posts: 440 - 27/09/2014 19:57:09 1657544 Link 0 |
GaryMc, i spent an entire evening during the week making the same point to fabio8. I dont think this is a particularly good kerry team from an individual standpoint (the thing about everyone except dublin was a bit of a wind up, although historically that was probably true), but they do have a pretty handy young team, they have played a both offensive and defensive football this year, and came out on top (credit to Fitzmaurice), and they are the all Ireland minor champions. and most worryingly, they have a manager who is willing to play to a system that, while not traditional, will bring success (despite what spillane thinks God bless him) joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 27/09/2014 20:07:17 1657549 Link 0 |
I reckon we'll have something to say about that :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 27/09/2014 20:17:04 1657554 Link 0 |
Kerry will likely never go away, I don't understand why some people write them off. Maybe it's wishful thinking. MichaelO (Tyrone) - Posts: 820 - 27/09/2014 20:36:39 1657561 Link 0 |
Tyrone have not gone away either. Be aware of Armagh as well. Both are coming from the north! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7844 - 27/09/2014 20:54:47 1657568 Link 0 |
Legendzxix, I'm not sure how I'll ever recover from that :) MichaelO (Tyrone) - Posts: 820 - 27/09/2014 21:00:27 1657569 Link 0 |
Just back from Croker. The crab claws were delicious, I took the eye outta 3 lads on the Hill and secured 5 new contacts too so a super day out! Oh and well done to whoever won the final too, I missed the last 68 minutes doing deals! Snufalufagus (Dublin) - Posts: 8100 - 27/09/2014 21:02:16 1657570 Link 0 |

Kerry's battles with the Ulster Region ebbs and flows like any good rivalry. 7 of Kerry's last 7 All-Irelands required beating an Ulster team along the way. 4 of the last 7 All-Irelands required beating the Ulster champion along the way. When Kerry beat Mayo in Limerick, it was written in the stars that Kerry would come up against an Ulster opponent in the final and that Donegal would win their semi-final the following day. Any good team raises their game against the champions. It's probably the reason we have not seen many champions even make a final the following year. The capital can vouch for that. It's been said Ulster All-Ireland champions have only been beaten the following year. Well the same applies for any All-Ireland champion regardless of province. Our Senior Football Championship resumes next weekend with a double header in Tralee on Saturday and Killarney on Sunday. We'll winter well in the Kingdom. Ciarrai abu! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7844 - 28/09/2014 14:21:04 1657675 Link 0 |

Surely a Derry man will be more interested in how his county might transfer league form into championship? What's the state of play with ye're county championship? Worry not of Kerry for we will winter well! ;) legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7844 - 28/09/2014 19:02:14 1657764 Link 0 |
