Rashers, I used to read his stuff too when he was playing for Meath and generally found him to be 'in the ball' but in recent years, I think hes lost it completely. The more bizarre the better it appears...more like a cry for attention and to be honest for a long time now, I couldn't be bothered reading his stuff, whathever county it related to.

Sean Walsh was on Radio Kerry this morning saying the article was mentioned in the dressingroom at half time.
Liam Hayes was on with John Drummey and Tim Moynihan this afternoon but the boys let him run the show.What i would'nt have given to have heard Miriam O'Callaghan giving him a going over.

I agree with what Jack O'Connor said about him - "Liam Hayes couldn't write to Santy".
Hayes gives out about Kerry not being a great team, but he should look at his own team first. Meath were very lucky to get their two All-Irelands at a very weak moment for Gaelic Football - when the great Kerry and Dublin teams were past it and just before a very good Cork team and some very good Ulster teams were coming into bloom.
I'm not saying it wasn't a good Meath team but they didn't beat anyone of note.

Absolutely amazed by this article. It insults so many great players past and present. It really doesn't warrant so much debate. It's not worth the paper it's written on.
In saying that however, I hope he writes something similar on the morning of the All-Ireland to get the boys going.

Kerrygold - he doesnt own the Tribune. Indo effectively controls it (30% stake and a bunch of loans). Hayes was associated with that crap sports paper the Title and a number of other failed papers. He currently is involved in a number of regional Dublin titles

To the most point it's sensationalist rubbish aimed to move papers in Dublin - this paper only ever really sold for one reason only - Ross O'Carroll Kelly.
I'd agree with his assertion that our performance of lofting high ball into Donnaghy was pathetic. We need more angled balls and more variation. A lot of this was down to rustiness. As was Eoin's tackle that gave away the penalty.
Rustiness - far from pathetic.
And Kerry were deserved winners against an overly physical negative team. Mayo to their detriment at least tried to beat Kerry playing football. Unforunately for Mayo Kerry rip those teams apart.
If Hayes writes a rebuttal next week praising the class of Cooper and O'Sullivan in their ability to control a game then he may remove some of the egg from his face.
What's great for us is that we can have a good laugh at this eejit for a long time to come. I mean who can take anything he ever writes seriously again. Worse again, who is the editor at that paper and does he even read this sh*te before it comes in.
He comments that an All Ireland against a team that is hammered is of precious little value - Mayo were in the final on merit. Kerry could have done the same to Dublin had they met them that day.
It reminds me of this year when people criticised Meath for their failings against Cork instead of focusing on the wonderful Cork performacen. Hayes is of the mentality that Kerry only win handy All Irelands. You can only beat what is put in front of you. Kerry have won both difficult and not so difficult All Irelands. And for me all our wins have been memorable. Our losses too.
The performances but in by these players over the last ten years for some, since 2000 for more - should be commended.
The Kingdom no longer rules. It's finished, it's kaput.
4 All Ireland Finals on the Trot.
Not missed a semi since '99.
Colm Cooper plays in his 5th Final at 24 years of age.
Dara O Se is going for his 5th medal.
These are unbelievable achievments in the modern age of Gaelic Games.
I'm going to tell you that Kerry football teams have barely left a mark on the game for over 20 years - less than a handful of All-Irelands, and not one of them truly memorable in my book.
If Kerry haven't left a mark then who have - oh the great Meath Teams of 96 and 99 is it?
In years to come this Kerry team will go down as one of the finest exponents of the games great skills.
He comments that Moynihan is not a great.
Gooch isn't class.
Kerry and Cork, right now, are both in Dublin's pocket.
Laughable - again he is just appealing to the masses to sell papers in the Capital!
They'll make themselves at home, and look and feel absolutely fantastic.
Dublin are so close, finally, and the poorest and most shaken Kerry team of the last 20 years are in their way.
It does not have to be all that close. Dublin could, all going well, win this game by anything between five and 10 points.
It all depends, really, on the Dublin defence. It's got to hold up, that's all.
Today, we've got a 'very good' Dublin defence against a 'good' Kerry forward-line. If defence holds solid, The Dubs are home.
As I asked last week - spread the two teams out on the table in front of you, weigh them up, shake them around, hell, turn them upside down and whichever way you look at it, this day is going to end up with a Dublin victory. Unless Dublin fold, or get caught in holiday mode in the final five minutes, and neither of those happenings are going to disturb or turnaround the result of this semi-final.
Dublin by a magical, but believable, seven or eight
That last passage is what I would describe as the worst analysis of a game I have ever ever read.

Hayes' article sounds just like other begrudgers I've had to put up with over the years. The fellas who hate to see Kerry win, the ones that put Kerry down at every given opportunity. Like one fella, a Monaghan man, after the 2005 final. Mouthing off about the state of Kerry football and how bad it had always been, from a feckin Monaghan man! You'll always have the same, poisonous arseholes though. The jealous types, they do their best to put us down to try to someway make up for their county's inadequacies. Give Hayes about as much attention as you'd give them - none at all.

Lads, as Peig said in the Cork Kerry tread, be gracious in victory. Maybe it's time to let go. If Dubin had won, his article would have been seen as insightful...

I disagree.
There is no insight in it at all.
Even if Dublin had won by 8 some of the stuff stated in his article is still sh*te of the highest order.
It's sensationalist bullsh*t of the highest order.

I didn't think Kerry (or even Cork) would ever have thought it insightful, I just meant sometimes when so called experts call it right, they are seen as such. It can be noted Ó Cinnéide called a Cork win before Meath, and generally to be fair to him is hardly ever that far off. I found it interesting that he said his heart said Kerry for the final. Was that him being cute? I would have thought most people's heads should go for Kerry too.

To be honest I told everyone that Kerry would have it tough against Monaghan and Cork would beat Meath.
Masters is not a big loss to that Cork team.
Not from play anyway.
I think RTE were fair in their analysis of the Sligo and Louth performances. I felt a lot more credit should have been given to Cork for their performance against Meath - the focus was more on Meath's failings. Same as when we destroyed Mayo last year.
RTE focus on the negative of one team more than the brilliance of the other.

Just in: Sneak preview of next Sundays LIAM HAYES article.
"Alas, the last of the BIG THREE have fallen. Pulled and dragged by a worthless pawn that is the kerry team. The brave, Loyal and determined Blue army defeated, but not through power, brillance or excellence.....but by vermin so small, not even 7 officals scouring croke park could see the deadly attacks.
History will feel sorrow for the GIANTS of the modern game as they fall at the semi-final stage, namely Whelan, Sherlock, Brogan.
And what do the tormentors get as a reward for their under hand tactics?An appearance in the All-Ireland final. Is that what you want to be showing your children? Is that the kind of example you want to be?
As i rub my crystal ball, i see....
Kerry 0-2 Cork 3-21"................
FU Liam!
