Kerry might want to throw J O'D in there already SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2558 - 26/08/2017 15:27:27 2037964 Link
Ref far too fussy. Ruining the game 11jm11 (Kildare) - Posts: 367 - 26/08/2017 15:28:07 2037965 Link
Kerry really on the ropes never comfortable from the start, Mayo will win this easily enough. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4953 - 26/08/2017 15:31:37 2037966 Link

What an awful first half so far I by Kerry, Kelly is having a nightmare in goal. Mayo need to make this dominance count this week. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 26/08/2017 15:34:21 2037970 Link
Kerry are shocking, offering nothing but cynicsm. To think we used to get lectures from Kerry folk about "the right way to play the game". How are the mighty fallen. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 26/08/2017 15:35:43 2037972 Link
Surely lads, SURELY Mayo cant lose this...? Kerry are awful btw Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 26/08/2017 15:37:09 2037973 Link
Men and boys so far. Mayo should be 10 points up. Donaghy starting to look like an old man. Hope Mayo don't rue missed chances but looks like they'll drive on and have Kerry's number. Importantly haven't given a goal away. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 26/08/2017 15:44:22 2037975 Link
I have said it before and I will say it again. If Tyrone were involved in a game like this with so much cynical fouling and off the ball wrestling there would be an outcry at half time. We will see but I won't hold my breath. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 926 - 26/08/2017 15:44:54 2037976 Link
Really horrible stuff. Both teams are fouling at every opportunity. Mayo more so than Kerry. Gough lost control of the game when he didn't speak to Morley or Doherty after the throw in. Kerry's subs might make the difference in the second half. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 26/08/2017 15:45:02 2037977 Link
This looks like the Kerry of the 2001 semi final against Meath. Mayo making them look like division 3 team. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 26/08/2017 15:45:50 2037978 Link
If ever a team needed half time it's Kerry here. They are all over the shop and don't even seem to have any fight in them at all. It's somehow only 5 points but this could easily get out of hand unless Kerry seriously improve. My prediction of Mayo by 2 or 3 is looking seriously conservative at this stage! Some childish Kerry supporters booing the ref as he walks off at half time is as pathetic as it's futile! It's hardly his fault the Kerry backs won't stop fouling!

Replying To Gaillimh_Abu: "Kerry's persistent cynical fouling is sickening. They are making no attempt to tackle - they just pull and drag all the time." They do it all the time and got away with it in the 2014 final because of a weak referee. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 26/08/2017 15:47:10 2037980 Link
Come on Mayo it's there for ye now. Referee is very whistle happy. Very stop start game. mon (Galway) - Posts: 675 - 26/08/2017 15:49:42 2037982 Link
Mayo have got the advantage going into the second half, they look the better team by a mile. Come on Mayo!! oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 26/08/2017 15:50:32 2037983 Link

Replying To Gaillimh_Abu: "Kerry's persistent cynical fouling is sickening. They are making no attempt to tackle - they just pull and drag all the time." They've been at it for years hardly a surprise. Definitely the most cynical team around . If Tyrone game out and played like that you'd have uproar from Spillane and co. salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 26/08/2017 15:54:11 2037985 Link
Replying To MuckrossHead: "Kerry are shocking, offering nothing but cynicsm. To think we used to get lectures from Kerry folk about "the right way to play the game". How are the mighty fallen." They haven't fallen yet. If they do lose, they will lose an All-ireland semi finalist and as national league champions. That is indeed, IF, the lose. I would never write Kerry off at half time - especially against a team that regularly allows others back into matches (ie v Cork and Derry this year already). PS.. I hope you are right.. Would love to see them fall into a deep, deep hole bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 26/08/2017 15:57:13 2037987 Link

Yes you have, and will again, and again. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 26/08/2017 15:59:08 2037990 Link
I'd say Dubs and Tyrone would rather Kerry won last day. Neither would be too worried about that side. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 26/08/2017 15:59:10 2037991 Link
