Very good game of football. Fair play to Kerry and Tyrone. We always tend to bring the best out of each other.

Safe home.

Replying To CTGAA10:  "Just finished watching Tyrone/Kerry..disgusting to be watching the carry on of grown men on both teams..constant niggling,pulling,dragging and sledging..it must be tempting for a player to give a belt of a fist when he's surrounded,on the ground and opposition roaring into their face..also total lack of respect for refs in all games when giving out cards,completely ignored by players getting them..if this is what juvenile players are watching how are they expected to have any respect for officials..I noticed it in both matches yesterday and in the match just finishes..like to get others opinion in this.."
Nonsense. Game was clean for 98% of the game. Ref card happy. In general was a hard, tight game.

Agree 100%.

Was hard but fair game apart from a bit of pushing and shoving towards the end.

If you've nothing positive to say then stick to your rugby. Great game and Clifford's sky point and Canavan's point where he kept ball in play was worth admission fee all day long. Kerry well supported given the fact they must have been on the road from 6am. As I said before Tyrone just had to start clicking.

I'd like to see 1A and 1B with 5 teams in each and play home and away. Great days out.

Yes, agreed. First time in a long while though that Tyrone played like they meant it. Roll-back-the-years stuff from M Donnelly, especially given the horrific injuries that's he came back from. Defence still not great. Not a dirty game at all. 2 standout scores for sure. I doubt if another player in the country could have nailed that Clifford point; and my bad knee winced as Canavan did that sudden stop and swerve stuff lol

Tyrone just need to start clicking? Are you serious. You have certainly changed your tune in a matter of weeks.

Please see below post.

A lucky first year and everyone still thinks they are Gods gift. If they keep playing Mc Kernan and Matty Donnelly they are doomed. Not going to be easy to stay up now.

You were not very positive a few weeks ago.

Replying To Ulsterman: "Great wins for Donegal and Roscommon. Few Tyrone folks saying all isn't right in the camp. Antrim as usual 2 steps forward one year the next 10 steps back. We don't need managers from outside, we have to start improving from within."
I've been saying that for over a year. It's obvious. New management needed, urgently.

Are you still looking a change of management? You never replied at the time with your suggestions of who you would replace Fergal and Brian with.

Marty Donnelly best game in a long time, I still said the final ball was letting them down.

Matty Donnelly played well because he didn't do his usual stuff of holding play up by soloing on the spot. He ran at Kerry and opened play up. Credit where it's due.

Well done to Tyrone today. Well deserved and kept at it even after a poor start. As I've said previously Tyrone are better than results were showing. It makes the division even more interesting again. I think this has been the most exciting division one on years. Only safe team after 5 games is Mayo.

Relegation from Division 2 appears to be a three way battle now between Clare, Kildare and Limerick. Louth, Cork and Meath look to be safe.
R6
Derry v Clare
Limerick v Kildare
R7
Kildare v Meath
Clare v Limerick

As a Kerryman I did nt think it was a dirty game at all. A few silly tackles during game but nothing really dirty. Yes a bit of needle at the end as Tyrone excited at seeing the wi ní g líne and Kerry Not wanting to lose. Tyrone were the better team nó doubt but it was nt a dirty game.

Yes, lowly Limerick at least has its destiny in its own hands. Beat Kildare first, and then Clare, and Limerick relegate the two of them!

Cavan and Derry both have 100% records. Cavan will have to make the Ulster final to get into the All-Ireland series.

Fridge I am so delighted to agree with you. What a turnaround today. Great to see it. Mattie Donnelly led the comeback very ably assisted by D Cannavan and a great all around team performance.

I see O'Connor is back whinging about the refs robbing the Princes of the Pigskin again. If Farrell or Dooher or McStay were att hat game, constantly, they'd be hauled over the coals.
