Replying To Seniorleague:  "Really?
A 4 point (2 score)victory over a Dublin team who were wasteful in front of goal, and both of kerrys goals being pretty fortutitous.
Hardly living up to the hot favourites tag."
And Dublin very possibly denied a goal too.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "A real lucky win for Kerry as they were against Tyrone also. Mayo every right to fancy themselves and honour the 25th anniversary of the last Connacht success."
I very much doubt Mayo give two hoots about the anniversary of the last Connacht success. The only anniversary Mayo might be thinking about is the 75 years since they last won Sam.

Well done London. Their first All-Ireland junior football championship title since 1986.

Kerry were hot favourites today. They may not have lived up to this during the match, but they still were according to the bookies right before the game.

They will be before the final also against Mayo. Not sure that this sort of thing effects the kerry players as they have been around now for a while both as underdog and as favourite.

Argentina aren't, any never were, favourites to win the Worlrd Cup.

On a side note,Clifford was very quiet today but STILL left the pitch with 1-6 to his name. The man is unreal.

Prediction for final

Kerry 2-30
Mayo 0-17

I hope tickets are €50

But crazy to charge 100 for one sided game.
