Good win today Jack will be pleased but in reality a nothing game and as mentioned in a previous post the big clash looming is Dublin still not convinced we have the fullback line to deal with the Dublin forwards and that man Con O Callaghan we could struggle at midfield too as we don’t have a midfielder in Fentons class damage limitation at best there however we definitely have the forwards to trouble Dublin we will out point them but the big fear is we will concede goals that unfortunately might be the difference but what a game to look forward to barring a major slip up by either team in the quarters

Good performance didnt overdo it either which is right no point in rattling in 3 or 4 goals in 2nd half. Another full month with nothing now what a boring championship this is

God that was a hard watch, we were in what, 2nd gear at best. The real bonus for me was our tight defence, the serious protection of Shane Ryan. The front three in Cliffords absence contributed very effectively, Killian kicked serious scores, moved and tracked, Greaney too, of the three the Crokes man was the lesser and snatched a bit - for me again, too eager to please
The form of Tom Sullivan was also a bonus, 0-03 from play from a corner back, regardless of opposition is impressive.
Worry is the injury to Brión O'Beagleoich, hopefully it's not serious, Also, disappointed with Diarmuid, he took an early knock which may have effected.
Kicked 1-20+ and punched three or four over when goals were on but in all honesty, they were not required.
It's actually frightening what we could be capable of.... but and a big but... Limerick were an embarrassment. Shocking..

Kerry did what they had to do today, hard to read the performance, because Limerick were so poor, Kerry must now look forward to end of June not knowing what the draw might throw at them, a Mayo or Tyrone after2 hard games, but whatever the draw brings, kerry will have to be concerned about the lack of a test leading to the qtr final.

It was no exhibition. Limerick were probably a bit off kilter without having to worry about DC?

Well done Kerry💚🧡 Good team performance but of little value to Kerry What’s the verdict on the Dublin game.? Has online ticket sales an impact on attendance?

That probably won't be decided until the pairings are decided which won't be until June 13th I think. It'll be 2 double headers on the weekend so what will happen is the 2 most attractive games will be kept apart on those double headers

It was more the prices that stopped people going today. As well as the fact there was a 20 point gap between the teams stopped people coming. I think most people can process an online order at this stage or if not most would know someone who could do it for them

It might just be me as I will have to watch the game back but, I though Tony B was very mixed today. For a forward of his class he's handling seems to let him down a lot. As for Kerry punching the ball over the bar. Some were very easy goal chances if an extra pass was given. Fine today but, I would worry about it in bigger games where a couple of points could be the difference.
Dublin looked good but, Kildare were pitiful. They were all over the shop defensively in the first quarter. Some of their shooting and decision making were cat. Both finals today were non events in reality. I think Glen Ryan and co will be very disappointed with the level of performance today.

Geaney has great arrows, only missed 1. Hopefully Tiger and Beggles are ok, next game could be tough, and if overcoming, the Dubs will bring plenty, going forward anyway. Kildare defensively we’re abysmal in first half, Dublin had so much time for all the chances

Learned nothing from today other than the sun is hot.
Haven't seen a competitive kerry game since last rounds of the league.
Too long between games and the number of mismatches needs to be properly addressed by HQ going forward.

Should’ve scored more but gave a few good passes and one of his points was very good. Impressed with Spillane today, as much for his tracking back as his scoring.

That was abysmal, no good, and a disaster for Treaty, as Ciaran Whelan said, best have a few deochs tonight to forget - maybe JP can make them a genuine dual county, wouldn't be for the want of trying and would crown his every noble contribution to society. The material is there - 200,000 population split 50:50 Rural;Urban, Borders greatness of each code - be jazus if I don't * up they'll have us worries, I'll have myself worried!
We will be 4 weeks now a game now, make it 6 or 6+ depending on what one makes of our Rebels encounter, Ulster teams and Connaught to a similar extent will have the advantage here.
Sure puts paid to notions re all our easy Sams, when we only had to beat 3 teams.
As an average enough judge of the game, if only by my own admission, I find it hard to see how we are raging hot favourites - of course if 'Kerry' turn up we are the team to beat, but that means half of the squad morphing into PGs, Breens, DeclanO'Ss S Moynihans, E Fitz's, etc - Tyrone laddos came through like that last year and whoever does that will have a victorious homecoming 24 hrs after the longest whistle.
P.S. I said the only surprise this weekend might be favourites getting turned over - Paris and Ronan O'Gara, even moi is surprised.

For anyone saying Kerry should have been more ruthless in front of goal, what precisely would have been gained from that in the circumstances? I would quote the Limerick manager Billy Lee on that one and agree 109%:
“What I would say about Kerry, they’re always respectful of the opposition. They could have kicked another couple of goals today and they took the points. I’ve always known that about Kerry. They don’t tattoo a team when they have them beat, they’re respectful and that's not unnoticed."

One of the criticisms after last year’s semi final loss was an obsession with goals and that came after scoring 5 against Tyrone in the league for example and 4 against Galway as well. It will be about decision making on the big day. Execution can be practiced plenty in training.

They’d be laughing their heads off in Dublin and Tyrone with such naivety. The championship is not about handing out bouquets and being nice guys. Nice guys ultimately get nothing in the cut throat world of inter-county championship football! You’ve got be to cold and heartless and kill the opposition and every chance you get you send out a message! We're not here to win friends - we're here to win. As I said yesterday post game, the cohesion and decision making of the Dublin forwards was hugely impressive. I’m absolutely certain Dublin will beat Kerry should they meet. Why? Because they are smarter on the ball and can be trusted to make better decisions under pressure and are more ruthless in going for goal. For all Kerry's talent it's our dumb decision making and individualistic forward play that's been a trademark of Kerry’s play in the under 21/20 post minor success and drifted its way up to senior. Kerry’s headless running and poor decision making was found wanting against Tyrone. I repeat bad habit are bad habits and when you make them under no pressure what can one expect to happen when the pressure comes on?

You need to watch the blood pressure there Kingdomson! That’s a fair diatribe of bs you’ve come out with. Scoring loads of goals against Limerick yesterday would have achieved precisely nothing. A total irrelevance for when/if we meet Dublin.

Kerry’s headless running and poor decision making was found wanting against Tyrone. I hate to say it but i agree with you 100%. Kerry will struggle to put enough scores on the board against the best defenses. Its about quick hands between players at close quarters to create simple scores. Cork showed up Kerrys limitations for 50 minutes till their best performers went off injured and replacements were inadequate. I do take comfort from how tenacious the Kerry defence is and i cling to the idea that the games v Tyrone (if we meet) and Dublin could evolve into a counter attacking approach with marauding Kerry backs creating havoc. That however assumes that Dublin and Tyrone will take the ball into contact and lose it and unfortunately i cant see them fall for that. Personally speaking i would not play David Clifford in the full forward line at all. I would put him at CHF in the same was that Dublin put Con at CHF. DC is a player that needs needs to be involved in everything and plays on instinct. When he has to take a hop or a toe to hand to make room inside he is likely to be dispossessed. He can also fetch ever his head and is another target to aim for from kickouts. It would also put the cat amongst the pigeons for opponents. If they are going to double mark him, let them do so on the 40 which allows space in the FF line. I expect people will disagree and thats fine.
