Kerry should be winning this handy , maybe by 4/5 points with no Con available for to Dublin , and this Dublin team is nowhere near the level of its predecessor despite being a solid team all the same. Vish (USA) - Posts: 88 - 09/07/2022 18:14:12 2430715 Link
Replying To Ulsterman: "2 great football counties and it's always a big occasion rightly. However they are also 2 of the most cynical, physical counties but that always gets buried in the hype and build up. Biting, gouging, headbutting, fighting, dirty hits, off the ball incident have followed this fixture around for decades and it's been part of what makes it so exciting. Of course you will NEVER hear any of this on The Sunday Game or in any other parts of the media. That sort of forensic examination is only reserved for "Nordie" sides. "You know what they're like...and all that"." Are you looking after the hawkeye this evening ctowers (Dublin) - Posts: 99 - 09/07/2022 18:18:06 2430720 Link

I have huge respect for Kerry football, but they've a reasonably poor track record against teams who (a) aren't afraid of them and (b) are the same level of them, the last 15 years.

Replying To sam1884: "There'll be a lot of eyes on Sunday's match and to be fair some columists all across the country started to catch onto what was happening in the last number of weeks. This game will be given forensic analysis in many quarters. Lets hope there isn't any sort of melee though as there was in their league game, that would cause a lot of awkwardness that all media or CCCC would find hard not to comment/react to. What it's worth and hopefully I'm wrong I think there will be incidents in the two semi finals this weekend. As for the game I don't think it'll prove to be game of the weekend, Galway and Derry will be a better game but it should still be a great watch! Dublin are in transition and we haven't seen them at their best for two years; for Kerry they've been building from underage structures up, have the manager that started that back at the helm, it's 2014 since they won an All Ireland and Dublin's success will have hurt Kerry more than any other county. It's an amateur sport but Kerry football lives on success, pressure on them is huge and it really is a must win game, if they can't beat Dublin whilst they're in transition where does Kerry football go! My view is we're going to see Dublin close to their best and despite a huge Kerry performance, Dublin will win this by 5 plus." Not a hope in hell Dublin winning this by 5 plus superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 09/07/2022 19:58:36 2430818 Link
Replying To Vish: "Kerry should be winning this handy , maybe by 4/5 points with no Con available for to Dublin , and this Dublin team is nowhere near the level of its predecessor despite being a solid team all the same." I'd tend to agree with this. Dubs are solid but Kerry should have enough to come through. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 09/07/2022 20:09:49 2430827 Link
Con's a massive loss and James has only made the bench. The scales have tipped in Kerry's favour. Unless 3 or 4 of their forwards have an off day, we're going to struggle today. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 10/07/2022 08:36:19 2430940 Link
Would have been confident if we had the two boys, but cant see it without the two boys, massively up against it, pity its not full team vs full team, would have been a cracking game, we've been very unlucky. Kerry's to loose, they will never get a better shot. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 10/07/2022 09:44:12 2430957 Link
Would expect kerry to win this well. Jack oconnor has gunning for this moment since 2011. Kerry took easy against Mayo so expecting big kerry. With Callaghan missing and the dubs in transition going for score Kerry 4 20 Dublin 0 15. F4 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 47 - 10/07/2022 10:57:53 2430977 Link
Safe travels Enjoy the game Can only see a 5-6pt win for Kerry You need a bit of luck on your side to win an AI Dublin are not the same side without James & Con So that's no McCaffrey, Mannion, O'Callaghan, McCarthy etc All were pivitol key members of the 2019 side, if Kerry don't win today it'll be very surprising indeed But sure let's see anyway jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 10/07/2022 11:49:01 2430998 Link
No point in even tuning into the match today then with these landslide predictions..... SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 10/07/2022 12:06:26 2431003 Link
Dublin without Con so the advantage is with Kerry, they still have to go out and do it though, not fully convinced that this Kerry team are as good as people think, a draw and extra time wouldn't surprise me, Dublin's biggest loss is they haven't Cluxton anymore, his kickouts were brilliant. Can Dublin contain Clifford? if they can limit his influence then it will be very close. I'm going for the draw. Kerry to win in extra time.

Its Kerry's to win & lose. Vish (USA) - Posts: 88 - 10/07/2022 13:10:27 2431019 Link
Kerry lads telling me David Clifford isn't 100%. Wondering, like myself, why he wasn't taken off early in quarter final after he tweaked his ankle. He'll surely start but Kerry have plenty of attacking weapons. But if they leave too many frees for Dean Rock it'll decide the game. I still Kerry by a point or two even if McCarthy and O'Callaghan get gametime. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7360 - 10/07/2022 14:13:10 2431039 Link
First time I ever turned off GAA coverage to watch tennis, the scheduling is all wrong for sure, rushing through the All Ireland series is madness. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 10/07/2022 14:53:02 2431046 Link

Oh my. The game hasn't even started and both RTÉ commentators have informed is that whoever wins today will win the all Ireland. And they haven't just said it once, it's all they have to say. I'm not sure why Galway would even show up. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 10/07/2022 15:30:14 2431059 Link
Just before match starts - again, what's the story with the allocation of Hill tickets? Yet again, the GAA quite deliberately hand a big psychological advantage in heavily biased allocation to the Dubs at that end of the ground - creating a wall of noise and intimidation that is actually worth scores to them. Hill better be 50:50 allocation for the final - whoever is in it with Galway!! togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 905 - 10/07/2022 15:32:53 2431060 Link
I'm sorry but Ger Canning is a terrible commentator. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1717 - 10/07/2022 15:45:58 2431062 Link
