yerra yerra yerra, jasus lads ye are out in force again. Ye beat a Mayo team in a Munster ground with some dodgy ref calls, it seems enright is the invisible man in the eyes of the referees. Hopefully they will keep an eye on his antics when he meets Maigh Eo in this years final. Why do you even bother. You need medication at this stage. Should you not be asleep by now. Big day tomorrow in big school

Keane, Mayo are abit like Kerry so, apart from getting the rub of the green from the ref like last year. We will concentrate on the Dubs for now. Well yeah, and apart from the wins over top teams and the All Ireland medals too obv.

What Kerry pundit/reporter wrote this in today's Indo? Just because we won a tight match by 18 v 12 scores I don't think we were elated, but of course happy given the uncertainty brought about by the conditions. If our attitude is to be so hard on ourselves, then other teams should be permanently depressed?
Dangerous attitude could hamper Kerry hopes
The reaction to Kerry's win over Tyrone last weekend has been dangerous and, to me, worrying.
People are so happy to have beaten them and put that hoodoo to rest in Croke Park that there has been a lot of back-slapping and congratulations.
There's relief at having beaten Tyrone and having made another All-Ireland final, when Kerry will be going for another double-double, with the minors there again too.
There's nothing worse after a semi-final than having that satisfaction and comfort in your mind because it almost allows you to drop your guard and if you lose the final you say to yourself 'well, at least we beat Tyrone. . .'
If it was Dublin playing Kerry last weekend, they would have scored six goals - I have no doubt about that. We are wide open at the back and that's the area that I hope Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his management team spend the next four weeks working on.
They have to watch what Dublin, Donegal and Tyrone, who all have top-class defensive systems, are doing and pick out the best of those.
Last year in the All-Ireland final against Donegal, Kerry defended brilliantly. With Donegal getting so many men back, the two wing-backs were able to wait on the '50' and when the ball was turned over they picked up their men.
In the final next month, the Kingdom's half-forwards will have to work straight back once the ball is turned over, the midfielders have to get back to their own '50' and the two sweepers have to get back on the 'D' to protect the inside line.
Whoever the sweepers are supposed to be marking have to be picked up, and all of this takes weeks of training to organise.
In fairness to Eamonn and the lads, they know this and it's something they will spend significant time on.

Neither team are tested so it's anyone's game, although we are now told that Gavin has adapted to the system, the one Jack O'Connor says he would get bata agus bóthar if he played it.

When you look a the game again and see that Tyrone created two goal chances from creative play. The other two from mistakes on a wet day. Dublin created 3 goal chances against Donegal last year and failed to convert them.

I think the Kerry are lucky in some respects as I'd believe the winners of Mayo v Dublin will set up the same way for the final. It will be interesting to see if Mayo put real pressure on Cluxton. What defensive system will both teams play, if Dublin contend well with Aiden O' Shea how would that impact playing Donaghy in the final, if it's Dublin. Likewise how would we handle O'Shea, we could see Aiden O'Mahony playing on him.
It's a huge advantage for Kerry to sit back and what hopefully will be a great match,

I was thinking of that too hicser1, if it's The Dubs then we have runners but AO'M could be the man for A'O6 as he was with Michael Murphy. What is interesting is the foresight of having AO'M still available and so we can match whatever and whoever we face and that's as good as it gets. This is AO'Ms 12th year at senior level and his CV on wikipedia is cool. E.g. "He once played on for more than 40 minutes in a club final with a broken leg, scoring two points".Timmy 'The Horse' Kennelly finished a County Final with the arm in a sling, to get the county Captaincy for Jimmy Deenihan, and you'd be thinking such sacrifice was breaking all limits. This is what prompted John B to define their likes as 'right hoors of footballers'. Now what is 'a pure right hoor of a footballer' though? Is a right left hoor of a footballer the citóg?

Particularly the public desire for Mayo to win given all the hoopla about Limerick game last year where Mayo were robbed by the ref? .

And still we wait and who do we want ? The Dubs would play football with us and sure would hit us but not to the extent the hits were going in yesterday and notwithstanding our history with the Dubs the needle effect would not be as pronounced as yesterday. Mayo have created a physical aspect to their play and I could see a Kerry - Mayo final as tough as yesterday. They have not forgotten about Limerick last year and would relish a crack at us - but we have not forgotten their crying and whinging last year either so we would not be too disappointed at meeting them. Winner would take all.
But in fairness to Mayo when all seemed lost they never threw in the towel and one can't but be impressed by their attitude which completely exposed the Dubs. And we seem vulnerable down the middle when opponents run at us a la Cork and Tyrone ....... So who do we want ?

I think EF & Co would like to know who they are facing by now. Luckily the competition for places and the chance for another Celtic Cross will keep things keen 'inside'.

We were successful running at Tyrone and all the others, and as we have done for over a century. Would you like to meet Marc, Paul, etc face on?
And stop winding up the Mayo lads, tellin 'em we'd be afraid of 'em. Ah sure go on, keep doing it!

3 penalties into the Canal goal in the semi-finals so far. All crucial and all scored. We'd want to look at that for the :)Final.

Realistically the winners will have no time to prepare for the final. We also have a week less to prepare in that this week would have been about working on the game plan against either Dublin or Mayo. Next Sunday will be the first day now the team will be able to clearly focus on their opponents.

Next Sunday will be the first day now the team will be able to clearly focus on their opponents. I am sure there are a few game plans that are in common with Dublin and Mayo that will be worked on this week, like shoring up the middle when the opponent runs at the back.. While not ideal I don't think Fitzy will be overly concerned about the extra game, if anything it gives him more tape to analyse of how both teams perform when under pressure.

Indiscipline arguably cost Dublin the semi final last Sunday. Concentration and focus suffered as a result. Mouthing off at the Referee cost them yards and scores. And cards. And still despite all this they were 7 points up in the last ten minutes ! Connolly was being wound up from the start - Mayo had his fragile temperament sussed out from the throw in and if Keegan did nothing in the match at least he nullified Connolly's undoubted threat. If he misses the replay it could well be a blessing in disguise for the Dubs. MDMA was woeful throughout , Bastick little better and Cooper should not be allowed to stay on after his dangerous charge on O'Connor. And the MOTM was as lucky as Cooper to finish.
No doubt AOS was a marked man from throw in , seemed to be stationed at different times in different locations but his contribution generally was of little consequence. Sadly he had no support and had no one to lay off the ball. But his attitude is top class. His body must be black and blue from the battering he got but frustrated as he must have been with all the attention he was getting he kept his cool throughout.
A wonderfully exciting match but pity the poor Ref. Hits were fierce and frequent , mean , petty and dangerous and no credit to these two teams. Mayo had the Dubs on the run in those last ten minutes and with 5 minutes of injury time the force was surely with Mayo and maybe its those 5 minutes that Mayo will regret next Saturday ?
Now that both teams have tried to put manners on each other hopefully the concentration will be on football in the replay. Both have plenty of talent in that respect so lets see it. And if football is their focus we will be greatly entertained. A second full house in 6 days demands it.

The Nuptial Chalice
I hate to say it, or maybe I don't, but Sam Maguire's destination may be determined by the leadership, both on and off the field.
If challengers get a chance and they don't take it then the favourites should win the replay. This scenario is different though as Mayo found their gear at the very end and literally trounced The Dubs, so if Mayo can take up where they left off then it is full steam ahead, that is once The Dubs don't respond differently.
I have a hunch here that Mayo will rally and the 6 day turnaround will favour them and they may well take on where they left off, but in a different guise, a different style. Their managers looked like spectators so AO'6 is a big part of the inspirational power and I will contradict my previous assertion re challengers - sometimes if the outsiders get their claws stuck in, they return they next day with them still stuck in and finish off the job. Dublin are susceptible to shocks more so than others and while Mayo have only to take up where they left off, The Dubs have to get those Mayo claws out and get their own stuck in.
I think it will be Mayo by 2.
Ah now though, back to management, Éamonn & Co are cool, coolness personified.
And sure 'twill make a great wedding in Mayo on New Year's eve but will they need more Kerry-Mayo babies to solve the famine? Páidi contended that the turkey didn't taste the same if the auld canister wasn't at home so it will be interesting to see where Sam will be at the turn of the year.
Funny auld world, and best wishes to Paul and Louise of course!

When you look a the game again and see that Tyrone created two goal chances from creative play. The other two from mistakes on a wet day. Dublin created 3 goal chances against Donegal last year and failed to convert them. If we could 1) Stop making risk laden plays between out centre back and midfield zones, especially with the hand pass 2) turning over the ball in this our key area of vulnerability - it would significantly reduce our susceptibility for concession of scores and particularly goals. When we turn over here our shape has been compromised and man on man concentration lapsed to the God of pushing forward. Of course our half backs need to attack but don't have the balance right. Re: Tyrone 2 chances from play: they the McCann ground shot and McNulty peno claim?

For those of you who like a bet (I don't), you can back Dublin ,for the AI AND Mayo for the AI AND David Moran for POTY --- all at best odds available --- and get a 10% ROI.
Three separate bets.
