It was a clear push FFS!! Although it could provide good motivating material for Pat & co. "Look lads the F*&kers are rubbing it into us about 82." Not that they should need it.

this little beauty of a thread is starting to resemble a bee hive that has just unwelcomedly moved in between the slates and the facia board high up in the appex of your home.The first few you dont mind,sure there only little harmless gobsh1tes of wasps buzzing around doing there thing amusing themselves.Then one stings and you take a closer look,hmmm what have we here,ah i mighten be much,then the little hoors start to sh1te on you nice clean windows that you cleaned the day before during days and nights of idolness.You then consult the exterminator who calls and ADMINS lethal poison to the annoying little cretons and banishes them from your humble abode,things normally settle down again nicely and the anoying little hoors become just a far flung distant memory.
personally i always felt that particular referee left a lot to be desired.

As a young lad at the 04 Quarter Final said to me - And he couldn't have been born at that time: "In Kerry we don't talk about that". Give it a rest please

My original point was that this offaly team was more than a one year wonder. I think they won 2 or 3 Leinster titles around the time of Dublins great team.
Having watched Kerrys golden years and All ireland gold series many times, i am glad that a player of the caliber of MATT CONNOR won a medal. What a class

What I don't want. I usually go quiet about half twelve before the game in the Gresham. I'll be sitting in my chair rocking when they introduce Seamus D.

The presentation of the offally team is bound to be an eerie experience for kerry people that where there in '82,a ghost from 25 years ago will suddenly reappers waving and smilling to the crowd,it took alot of kerry people a great deal of time to come to terms with those events. I was in the upper cussack that day,i dont intend to be in the stand for the presentaion,that particular pain is still red raw.

My original point was that this offaly team was more than a one year wonder. I think they won 2 or 3 Leinster titles around the time of Dublins great team. Having watched Kerrys golden years and All ireland gold series many times, i am glad that a player of the caliber of MATT CONNOR won a medal. What a class Your dead right to point out how great a team they were Mitty, and they were thoroughly deserving of their all ireland win in 1982. They played a great brand of football, very similar to our own and always played the game the way it should be played, unlike other teams of that era who tried using over robust tactics to beat us. The Lowry's, Fitzgearlds, Connors etc were as fine a players as you would see in any era. The team also had many great charcters, like Darby and the goalie Martin Furlong, who to this day is the only goalkeeper to have won the texaco award and is also the oldest recipient at 36 years. Liam Currams the wing back on that team was a dual player and was on the Offaly hurling side the year previous that won their first All-Ireland. Its never acknowledged, but Kerry V Offaly clashes overall were probably better encounters than the Kerry v Dublin clashes of that era, except they did'nt have the same colour or hype. The semi final in 1980 was arguably the most entertaining game of the golden years. The 1981 final for me was that Kerry teams high water mark, and Jacko's goal and the move that led to it epitomised the greatness of that team. 1982 then was the most gripping all ireland final of all time and the sadddest chapter of the golden years for Kerry. Does anyone remember the charity match that was played in Connoly park 15 years ago between the 1982 Kerry and Offaly teams to mark the 10th anniversary. It was a real pantomine ! The vast majority of both sides turned up and McGee and Dwyer were present aswell. However several of the players amongst them Paidi Se opted to watch the game from the window of the rockie clubhouse instead. The highlight of the game was when Offaly were awarded a penalty and Darby drove the ball so high over the bar that it carried Ballonagh convent. Great comradery existed between those players. Both teams went on the p**s in Tralee that night and then headed for Dingle the following day.

A ya,they were a fine team alright fronted by one of the most gifted forwards ever to play the game,it was tragic the way matt conors career ended at 25 years of age one christmas morning on his way home.Himself and Maurice were the two most most gifted forwards of the last 25 years and there has been some great ones.
It was some team picked from a very small pool of people and players,offaly have a small population and one end of the county is all hurling onlyIt was made up of several bands of multiple brothers and cousins.
mick,brendan ,sean lowry,seamus and stephen darby,mick and pat firgerald,liam and tomas o connor who were first cousins of richie(capt) and matt connor.
its rarely you will get a band of brothers like that on a team now,they must have been a very closely nit team.
the ref still isnt on my christmas list though!

and someone should run onto the pitch and give him a shove into the back just as he is about to wave to his adoring crowd.

Walter said: "My original point was that this offaly team was more than a one year wonder. I think they won 2 or 3 Leinster titles around the time of Dublins great team." By the time Offaly won their first in 1980, that Dublin team, who won 6 Leinsters in a row, were finished. We beat the much younger Offaly team in 1979, with only 14 players for most of the game, coming from 6 points down in the 2nd half Steel-fixer said: "Your dead right to point out how great a team they were Mitty, and they were thoroughly deserving of their all ireland win in 1982. They played a great brand of football, very similar to our own and always played the game the way it should be played, unlike other teams of that era who tried using over robust tactics to beat us." Begrudger. So Kerry never used over-robust tactics, until the bad boys in the playground showed them how to do it? Only after yis lose one, yis get dragged down to the standards of the poorer, dirty teams eh? BTW Yes that was a brilliant Offaly team, but they crumbled very quickly after their win, beaten off the park by a brilliant Dublin performance in 83

Reception was ok, a little muted I thought. Polite applause at best. The Galway minors were doing a lap of honour at the same time so the crowd was a bit distracted.
