you havnt a clue about football give you call kerry an average football team.there the greatest team of their generation by a long shot. While its obvious that Kerry are not an average football team your assertion that 'there the greatest team of their generation' is off the mark. Tyrone are the 'greatest' team of the current generation of teams. They've beaten Kerry when its counted on the two ocassions they've met. Also no other team have had to overcome the tragedies and injuries they've overcome and remained competitive. Sally Sorry but that is rubbish. Tyrone were a great team, but they have not managed to cope with injuries. We won an All Ire in 2004 without Seamus and Dara. If we win this year that will be 5 AI's in 11 years. In this modern era (or any era for that matter) that is a phenomenal return. WE have also competed in the latter stages in nearly every other year when we have not won. There is no other team that have come even close. Since we started this run in 97, some good teams have come - and gone. Meath, Galway, Mayo, Armagh, Tyrone.. but Kerry are still there!! I have sympathy for Tyrones injury plight, and yes that had to cope with a lot of tragedy... but they are now a shadow of their former selves... strength and depth is the mark of greatness and the fact that Kerry have replaced injured or retired players year on year is what sets us apart

I should also mention that Greatness is learning from your weakness. Yes Tyrone beat us in 2003 and 2005 - but it didnt kill us.... it made us stronger!

Oh, if only we could be sure that the Kerry players share the confidence of some of the above posters, it might give us some sort of chance!
Watching Kerry on Sunday, I began to have serious doubts for Cork, but then I think: that was some efford; can Kerry produce it again? What gives me hope is that the same sort of display won't necessarily produce the same result against Cork. On the other hand, Cork's running game may be stifled by Kerry. Even Sligo did quite a good job in that regard. But then, again, Kerry won't feel that they have to play a blanket defense.I just can't figure it out. But wait - we've got something Kerry haven't got. We've got Billy!

Midnight are u for real or are u just taking the pi55?? Anyone who says that this isnt a great team just doesnt know anything,4 finals in arow says it all. I doubt very much he's extracting the urine, kerryeye. The psyche and attitude of the new breed of Cork 'fan' is predominantly shameful. Their blatent arrogance is only overshadowed by their ungraciousness in defeat. And in such defeats (hurling inclusive) they waste no time in turning on their players. Some of the stuff I heard and read after Cork's defeat to Waterford, and this by their own 'fans', were atrocious, unfair and unjustified. Owenabue et al, although clearly true warriors of the blood and bandages yourselves, you cannot deny the existence of such parasites within your régime. In victory, aforementioned parasites are goading gooners who don't seem to understand the term "gracious and humble in victory" which, I'm sure, was an attitude adhered to by their parents. FAO Midnight: when the proverbial manure hits a certain air-conditioning device for the Rebels on September 16th, take note of the reaction of the Kerry fan towards you. And when I say 'take note', I mean chalk it down and let it forever burn in your memory.

Peig, every group of supporters have what we'd call langers. The lad next to me in Killarney wasn't very gracious in victory. I won't deny that there is a certain element of cockiness in some Cork people, but they tend to be bandwagon merchants anyway. I know the genuine Cork supporter that I have met be it in Páirc Uí Rinn, Portlaoise or at under 21 games (in other words, lads who show up when it's not Killarney or Croke Park) are very humble and are there to just see the team do well. Of course we like nothing better than beating Kerry, but that's so we get to enjoy it, even if it is only for a few weeks. Last year after the Munster final I didn't come on here telling ye that Kerry were crap or things like that. To do such things would be a little insane in my book cos I know that ye will be back. Okay, I will admit to slagging off the few Kerry friends I have, which is exacly the same as they did to me after the semi final, fair is fair. Please do not accuse us all of being arrogant, because believe me we're anything but...

I'm not being naive and for one moment suggesting that these parasites don't exist in every team's 'following'. We all slag, etc, etc, but seriously, 'slagging' isn't what I would call the stuff that some of these Corkonions spew out.

God the thread is at 4 pages allready .Can we keep it to football and not tar every Cork\Kerry man or woman with the same brush. Just saw the game on Setanta . Daragh not fit at all how is he going to train for the final ?. Midfield is key in Croke park

No wasy will that happen.Scanlon had a great game yesterday and bar a few bad wides he was tremendous and well deserving of his place on the starting 15 and will be there again for teh final.I expect to see the same team for the final.

I think sean o sullivan should start instead of Scanlon for the final. I disagree, kingdomkerry. Although Scanlon waned a bit in the second half, his overall performance was good enough. He caught a few nice high balls and was there for a lot of the breaks. But I suppose the real danger in this Cork team is the power of their mid-field. And it will be a very crowded place with O'Neill and perhaps Cussen lurking around there as well. We seriously need to figure something out...

We seriously need to figure something out... bring in quirke again he had a mighty first half in d munster final he will disrupt corks mid field. kerry will bunch d middle like d semi last year and that means corks threat is stopped their game plan is based on midfield

Cork and Kerry is going to be the Battle of wills here. The last two games Kerry played were hard and physical it will stand to them.

Post by FatTom on Aug 28, 2007 2:38:39 GMT
I think Scanlon's performances so far will guarantee him a spot. Griffin to come on if needed - especially if Cork bring Cussen out.

MOTHER OF GOD IS RIGHT!as if this place wasnt controversial enough already, just back in time for the north kerry championship thread aswell.Scanlon had a very good game sunday i thought.i know ryan won alot of short kick outs but the cork goalie Quirke wouldnt be able to find a man like cluxton did plus the cork midfield isnt as mobile as ryan.

Piggy, Cork picked up a lot of breaking ball against Meath between Kavanagh, Spillane, O' Leary and O' Neill. So I wouldn't say they aren't mobile...
