Poor stuff from Kerry and Clare

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Awful game.

On another note. I see the hill is open. It was closed yesterday for the Cork v Donegal and Mayo v Westmeath game.

What determines whether the hill is open or not ?

Dire stuff. A lot of crap going off the ball too.

Yeah, people question Leinsters quality. This is a cakewalk for Kerry.

Fed up of watching games being played in croke park with 3/4 of the stadium empty. The lack of atmosphere feeds off on the platers and the game as a spectacle. If you put this in limerick you possibly would have had a full house with an atmosphere 100 times better than this, and this would have created a better game

Sad to see really. A nothing route to a semi final.

Bad for the game as a whole.

At least it's closer than last year when Kerry beat Kildare by a 7-16 to 0-10.

Agreed, Limerick would have been ideal for these games, atmosphere is non existent.

Yep a pure borefest...
But this is happening year in and year out, a double header in Limerick or Semple Stadium would have added a lot more atmosphere.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Fellow provincial counties should be kept apart as much as possible. Donegal and Cork played an excellent game yesterday. I will guess that Tipp and Galway will play an enjoyable game today as well. Time for the GAA to cop on.

The biggest insult to Clare was the failure of Deegan to penalise Kerry's repeated 3rd man tackles blocking frees fouling all over the place worth about 5 black/ red cards. Kerry can do whatever they like in matches like that it is disgraceful - purists my arse.

Did you not get the memo. Donaghy has always and will continue to do what he wants without reprieve!

DonI detect sour grapes from the rushes Tír Eoinafter all showd us how to do it I for one have admired Kerry over 5 decades they know how to adapt steel with steel pure with pure how many titles is it 37 and watching their colleges and minors convinces me if I were around for another50 I'd see them win 37 more but sure they'll probably be winning them in the land beyond The Kingdom of Kerry in the Kingdom of God They did win the one played by our patriots in Frongoch detention centre in 1916 No hard feelings Tyrone as late comers you'd are doing well As for poor old Sligo sure even Clare were able to beat us and our neighbours Roscommon
