Cheddar Plunkett from Laois is a regular on the hurling show and he is an absolute delight. He's a gem alright. He's like a hurling philosopher!

Had a look at the Reservoir Dubs forum for my sins:
Interesting:
"This is Kerry, after all. Any team that would ever be openly expected to hammer them, won’t. It suits a county like Kerry to have alot of people talking like that because it will affect the dynamic of the game even in some small way. They will never lack for belief and even in the games where we looked much the better team (15 final, 16 semi-final) against a team with lads well over the hill and replacements of much less ability, we still only won by 3 and 2 points respectively. They now have a coach who looks like he really knows what he’s at, plus some very talented players that he himself has brought through, and some others that will die for him out there."

Time to start praising Dublin and reassuring them - sur they have home advantage (as usual), a ref Kerry object to, the greatest team of all time, five in a row tee shirts and merchandise, Michael D their number 1 fan, RTE changing the name of "UP FOR THE MATCH" to "UP FOR THE CORONATION"...... just turn up and swat away the Kerry youngsters and claim their righful crowns. I love it - All hail Dublin What could possibly go wrong 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 If they could just bring out a song now as well... Come on Dublin City Ramblers; you can do it! This is more of a Romantic Comedy but it has a catchy chorus; 5 6 7 8 WE ALL THINK THE DUBS ARE GREAT
The film is future proofed for the next few years till they are going for 8 in a row. Nice bit of forward planning by the producers. Happy ending too.

That video is a Kerry propaganda video. You can clearly see the Kerry jerseys underneath the Dublin tops, How else could this cringeworthy video be explained

I also like skinning myself with a cheese-grater. Hey folks, how are yissers enjoying it in the grass that hasn't been mowed all summer? I feel some serious hammering of our hammers coming on.

In fairness it was nice of neutral Croke Park to allow unlimited access for the 5 in a row song video.

Someone said it is a 50:50 game. No it isn't. Ciaran Archer would be in the starting 15 of all other counties. That says it all for me.

Definitely not a 50/50 I think the Dubs have a significant advantage collectively from positions 5-12 and between the sticks. Doesn’t mean we can’t beat them on a given day but they are deservedly strong favourites.

If Kerry are within 3-5 points of Dublin with 5 minutes to go they will be in bonus territory for 2019.

The Dubs are going to have to wobble though. Or else they aren't human. One of the most crucial part's of our game will be retaining our kick outs when the dubs go through there purple patch. That opening 10 minutes of the second half Mayo really struggled. The Mayo defense went hiding. Shane Ryan is growing in confidence. Big final in him!!

The Dubs are so finally tuned under Gavin there will be no wobble. Pressure & the hand of history won't factor in to this. They will only be beaten by a team that is better than them, something Mayo weren't in 2016 & 2017. Donegal & Tyrone wouldn't have got within an asses roar of beating Dublin in the final. A fresh and slighter younger Mayo team would still be in the same parish as 2016 & 2019. If Kerry are within touching distance of Dublin with 5 to go plus injury time I'll sit up in my seat in Croker.

The winning or losing of this game will be greatly influenced by the KICKOUTS. (At both ends) Have we learned how to deal with this after watching Cluxton for all these years?... If not we certainly won’t win

PS I am rushing here so I may edit this article later on.... apols!
'Bounce', a book by a Matthew Syed, an ex table tennis champ, provides some relevant clues here, and is of course of wider significance. I often find that 'good books' are more to do with people choosing to read the ones that are right for them, hence the fallacy of critics, i.e. they don't read a book because it is up their street, well apart from their being critics.
Anyway I came across this book and kept researching around it, I was getting vibes of boredom and probably in part because the conclusion was forewarned, i.e. that success was 100% what you put into an endeavour, a theology that we know is not quiet the case, or at least I know anyway.
As life takes turns I was reading some article about Bernard Brogan and, yes, you got it, he mentioned it, so I committed. Now I'd need to flip through it again but from memory it followed a pattern of 2 pages of utter trash and then just as you were about to chuck it into the bin there would be a line that baffled, though none of these revelations were specific to where we are just now.
The author insists that it take 10,000 hours to reach your peak, and that is assuming you have made the right choice of endeavour. Where his contention falls down is that it is not just about quantity, i.e. I'd contend that being reared in an environment where football is prominent, then not alone are the hours of higher quality and they have different positives. Yes, I hear you say Bally is on about 'The Kerry Ingredient' lark again, and yes I am, only now even the doubting Thomasas will be seeing that it is more than a notion. Anyone wishing to challenge me might suffer the same fate as that TCD genetics professor who publicly lost that debate when I asked him did he think we had a Northern Dancer postman.
I suppose in summary, we are a different breed, so we have a comparative advantage in terms of nature and nurture, and so the term 'adjusted hours', just like 'adjusted acres' in farming where 100 acres might be 120 or say 80 adjusted acres, depending on whether it was above or below average respectively.
I suppose in the case of the AI final, if we compare what 'adjusted hours' Dublin have with us - of course it is not so simple, e.g. older players lose 'adjusted' hours in terms of physicality while an ageing anchor FF will gain on the 'experience' ingredient, e.g. maybe 15,000 hours x .5 as opposed to say 6,000 x 1.5, i.e. 7,500 versus 9,000. And the of course there is team aggregate, and a million other aspects.
Word of warning - stand well back from this one, if only because any honest doctor will tell you that their profession would only claim to understand 1% about the brain, and of course if you only 1% about something then how accurate is your assessment - think if you only saw 1% of a match? Having said all that you could meet a fella in a pub and he'd know more about human behavior than all the medics in the world, though he was never at the other end of a medical procedure, ell apart from catching the odd TCD wan off side - ah I had to get that in seeing as nobody would oblige!
While I'd recommend that book, well recommend fellow contributors to browse around it IF it is something that rocks your boat, I'd make a further point. The author knows little of GAA culture so you will find it thin on the ground from that perspective given our own pedigree. It also reminds of a brilliant article of old about money in sports, and where the author was well exposed in this respect.

Nice little nugget here from one of the regulars over on Ressers:
“Truth is they are pinning their hopes on an injury radled Walsh . Clifford and O’Shea , O’Brien who has been hugely hyped about and Geiney , who let’s be honest , never fully delivered, throw in JOD as well . They have a mediocre defence. And they pin their hopes if winning midfield by pairing up a donkey in Jack Barry to nullify Fenton while Moran parades around . Seriously , if we lose this , may god have mercy on us :crazy_face:”
Perhaps we should just not bother playing then at all. 🤪

There is some serious hatred for Kerry by most of the regulars over there.

In relation to 5 in a row hype, there is absolutely no pressure on Kerry going into this game - just pressure to perform to the best of their abilities and do themselves justice. We have a free shot in a final that no one anticipated us to make in the first place.
The Dubs are expected to roll us over pretty easily from what I've read and heard so far. Surely this talk will affect them in some way. If we can stay with them and not ship too much water during their expected surge they may question themselves.
How often we have bemoaned our 'softer' route to finals when we lost them. We have had the tougher route IMO this year and this will stand to us I think.
Dublin are an outstanding team with a great manager and we face a huge task but I think we will acquit ourselves well and pulling off a shock is not beyond us.
