Best of luck lads. Zero pressure from home and total Sense of complacency among the Kerry supporters. Have to feel this will spread among the Kerry players who would have been expecting a Donegal or Galway on the final. Blueprint is there to try and limit Clifford to 5 points and Callinan to keep up with Paidi. Will ye give them the short kick out and press up. Or will Kobe move out to 11.i don't think Kerry can handle his creativity and engine in the middle. One thing I'll be looking out for is the likes of Kobe getting smashed off the ball through a body check etc. Kerry will history of the dark arts in finals and the referee will need to be aware of this. No harm bringing it up in media the next few days.

Replying To yew_tree:  "And of the democratic treaty was not passed the war would have got much worse and it's likely many of us wouldn't be alive today as events and history changed."
No it wouldn't, Ireland (32 Counties) in 1918 General Election had already produced a clear 73/105 democratic majority that wanted independence by that stage. How could Britain conduct a terrible war on a Country that had just democratically showed its vast wish for independence?

1922 Treaty was really to give legitimacy to partition, to justify splitting the Country.

Best wishes on Sunday. You are rank outsiders but that won't deter you. All you can do is give it your best shot and see if you can rattle them

Replying To MunsterFan:  "Great player no doubt but you're going a bit far with the Michael Jordan comparison. I'd argue - as would many others I believe - that Maurice Fitz was the best player of most of the era Canavan played in. Can't be Michael Jordan if you weren't clearly the best player of your generation."
Maurice Fitz was great no doubt but the Kerry Centric GAA media over do it a bit and embellish his exploits in the way they wouldn't do for a non Kerry Player.
I think countrywide Canavan would get the nod in that debate from the majority of Gaelic football followers.

Replying To moros:  "Well said. An absolute disaster and we the supporters have to suffer. Results posted aloften 24/48 hrs after the games. Like many things in Roscommon GAA this needs improvement. It's not a hard job to design and put in place a decent website."
And good luck trying to make out the results now with the club crests taking over the slot, very hard to figure it out. Looking through the underage results or fixtures, they have them all together, no segregation for divisions. Very hard make out the tables or anything on it. It's really not fit for purpose. There's no updates on it for any news or anything

Replying To MunsterFan:  "I'd have Declan O Sullivan in ahead of Connolly. Darragh O Se ahead of Sean Canavan too. Dooher probably edges Paul Galvin. Don't think you can leave Cluxton out so him for Beggan."
Not sure about Sean Canavan, but Sean Cavanagh would be in my team over Dara Ó Sé. A better all round in footballer in my opinion and had a serious scoring threat too. Dara was a good fielder and enforcer in the middle and had every trick in the book, but wasn't at the same level as Cavanagh. The likes of John Galvin of Limerick went toe to toe with and got the better of Ó Sé.

Peter Canavan was the "Michael Jordan" of Gaelic football. There was no 2003 Sam for Tyrone without him.

Replying To Tadhg2020:  "The game is always evolving and improving. It will also have flaws. You are looking for a sanitised version of hurling. It has never existed and never will."
If we can fix the hand pass. By fixing the hand pass that would fix a a few other problems as well. It looks like to most people watching hurling that the ball is being thrown

Replying To CillTormoir:  "Limerick came out of nowhere in 2018 and developed into a machine. Why is it never us?"
They didnt come from nowhere, they had a big review at grassroots level in 2008, and built from there. They had good structures already in place by the early/mid teens so that when they got 2 generational groups of lads come through 2 years apart they were able to maximise these groups potential.
As regards never you, and defining great as a team who reach multiple AIFs and win 2 or more of them, you had a great team in the 80s. We had great teams in the 50s and 60s. Limerick in the 30s and currently. Offaly in the 80s and 90s. Clare in the 90s.
Unless you are Cork, Tipp or Kilkenny great teams dont come along very often for anyone.
