I popped in to reservoir dubs and left pretty quick again. They’re a nasty bunch the majority of them. One wonders who is the control there. Keyboard warriors id say a lot of them!!! They really are a deluded bunch… been viewing that site the odd time since 2019… the funny thing is they hardly know more than 5 of our players…. One of them the last day said Paudie Clifford is not a good footballer…. They really have the blue tinted glasses on, all you see is childish jokes like Yerra, Kotf whatever that is, les animaux and few other jibes… no tactical insights etc, just pure inferiority complex towards us… Mayo GAA blog down the years has been no better, awful delusion there also… Hogan stand forum is finished also. Had a look on there once and once is more than enough! You just know most of em bought their first Dublin jersey the morning AFTER the 2011 final 🤣 The Mayo blog is insane, esp the lad who runs it. You begin to understand why the average Mayo supporter you meet at games is the way they are!! Was tempted to go on Hogan Stand to see what that shower of Dubs on there are saying about this game, but think life's too short! More fool me engaging with those goons as long as I did before they shut down our little Kerry forum sanctuary and we migrated here 😁

What’s the story with tickets..? Clubs were informed last night of their initial allocation - seems reasonable from what I have heard but a lot of Hill 16 tickets included. Hill 16 is where the Dubs will want to be so its a good ticket as swaps should be easy to come by on the day. id love to see us have at least 30% of the hill.

Me too, I'd love if the younger Kerry supporters esp decided they were going to #takethehill and plonk themselves in a big block of green and gold in the middle. It's really something that should be encouraged, get in trending on instagram or ticktock or whatever the 20 year olds are on now. Too long the rest of us have let them away with their wall of blue and the noise it generates! Saying that I'll take a nice comfy seat in the stand, the knees aren't what they used be

Had a look at RD myself yday for the craic. Some absolutely stellar observations but the best was that Clifford is ‘unproven’ at this level. I nearly bit but better of it. Let them off, very good point above that the majority bought their first jersey in 2011. Must have liked the colour.
Much to consider about the match ups but one thought keeps going around in my head which will ultimately decide how the game shapes up, initially at least. Will they double mark Clifford which frees up Morley? Watching the Tyrone game, Morley was alone in acres of space around the D in the first half in particular, and that gave me comfort before Kerry did what they did. When you consider how Derry took Morley on a tour with great results, I just can’t decide whether they will risk it or not. If they do, they will need to run, run, run to counteract Clifford. Much to ponder for Dessie and Gilroy. But THEN I think, Dublin simply cannot run for 75mins anymore…but Kerry can. Also, SOB has to come off the bench in my opinion. PM showed great composure with that pass that won the free at the end of last year’s final, I would start BOB and bring Paul on. But does he have the pace for Jack M? I would say no. But what if they start Jack but I don’t think they will. They need him like we need O Brien.
My brain is broken, how is it only Thursday, someone help me

I've no problem giving back to the team, Homerj, and I am one of the first to be at league, c'ship and McGrath Cup games. Personally I just think the tenner is a sly or underhanded way to make money, no other county does this.
If you're in limerick or Kilkenny this week you're playing €90. Households have additional costs to try make Croker, besides this addition.
Family of 4 pays an additional €40.. that's my gripe.
Anyway, regardless, we'll agree to disagree, park it, and return to on the field matters

Another thing they harp on bout is Kerry fans don’t travel. Grand for them boys to jump on the luas or sit on top of a double decker bus for a few euro and get into croker. Plus they have a population 4 times ours. Anyway, it don’t matter. Wats inside the lines will count? On a topic bout the game, who will pick up con???

I think the Mayo forum is very good.
Willie Joe runs it and he doesn't take any messing.
It's tightly moderated and outsiders are welcome.
Res Dubs is a free for all, Where little football is discussed.
The discussion is more around insults and who can make the funniest remarks.

After the Derry game I was very confident of beating Dublin but now I'm getting nervous and can make an arguement for either team winning. For me the Dubs forwards are scoring better than our forwards. In Basquel Costello Con Mannion and Kilkenny they have top forwards. Also Fenton scores big for a midfielder. If I was asked to pick the best team in Ireland at mó there would be still plenty of Dubs on it. James Mccarthy Brian Fenton. Con Ó Callaghan. How many would we have on it? David for certain. Maybe Seanie? Maybe Shane Ryan Jason Foley and Gavin? While Dublin are an older team they still have plenty of pace and are always capable of scoring goals. I do think our fb line is better than Dublin's but they have a stronger midfield. It's hard to call. Basquel is a very average forward, I’d be happy to see him lining out. Costello can be good in fairness but I wouldn’t view him as a very top forward he’s markable. Con O’Callaghan is highly overrated. He’s lost the power and directness he had a few years ago which is what his entire game was based on. Mannion isn’t as good as he was in 2019. They’re also playing him at wing forward which I don’t think suits him. Kilkenny is class but apparently he is carrying some kind of injury which is hampering him a bit. Nothing to be afraid of there. On the other point, Shane Ryan, Jason Foley, Tom O’Sullivan, Tadhg Morley, Gavin White, Sean O’Shea and David Clifford all make a best 15 if I was picking it. McCarthy and Kilkenny the only Dubs I’d have.

David Gough had got the final because he is the best referee in the country. Yes, he has made mistakes in the past. Missed incidents etc. All referees have. Let's not make it an issue. If we deserve to win we will win. If we are not good enough on the day we won't. The referee will have very little bearing on the game.

Con has definitely regressed, as noted above, he has lost that spring and penetration, still a handful primarily down to his ball winning ability but no direct threat will come from him now. Costello is very dangerous as he is an unpredictable forward, he almost doesn't know what he will do when he gets the ball which can be very dangerous. Foley to pick him up as he will match him for speed and athleticism and foley prefers a confrontational type forward as opposed to a clever moment type in the mold of a McGuigan.
Graham should pick up Basquel, appears that he drifts out the pitch a little which falls into grahams bucket and Basquel strikes me while very talented, the occasion could get to him. We see lots of Graham with possession on the ball but he is also a good marker.
Tom will have to pick up Con, Still dangerous and warrants respect but as noted before, has definitely declined but did have tricky injuries over last couple of seasons to be fair to him.
Looks like Bugler won't make it, so that leaves Murphy on Scully, Can see kilkenny starting CF which leaves Morley with some thinking, White on Mannion but in modern day posistions sometimes don't mean much bar the inside line perhaps.
Midfield Mccarthy and Fenton both 30 plus, Is this the game Diarmuid announces himself as the General not only in Kerry but all of Ireland, Himself and Barry have been up against it the last 2 matches against the so called best MF pairing in the country and they have done as well as they could. I ain't worried as some others are here. Mccarthy won't have played at this intensity all season, probably last time he and others will have faced this level of intensity was the Semi last year. Derry have us well ready all things considered.
I have called for SOB to start the Semi but strangely I want him coming on this time around, will need his impact to match a rather much maligned McCaffery, (still has bit of pace but he gasses out quickly now and doesn't have the needed endurance hence why he is on the bench), Also gives A Spillane another day out to redeem himself and put in a good sturdy battle hardened performance which will be needed as he is our most physical player and the dubs are physical around this part of the pitch with Fenton, Howard, Mccarthy, Small, we need to match them with Barry, Diarmuid, Aido, SOS for at least 50th minute of the game until it opens up and speed and thought is more imperative than Physicality.
Fitzsimmons, small, davy bryne all 30 plus, Reckon Paudie clifford has a huge game the next day also. We know what David is doing hopefully supported by Geaney, K spillane, O brien, SOS and energetic Box to Box performance from Moynihan.
I feel we have to much legs for them all over the pitch and a bench of Begley, O brien, Killian Spillane, Burns etc is more than enough to match the Dubs of Mccafrey and maybe rock or paddy small.
Numero 39 is on the way lads. Faith and confidence. We are in a good time. Nervous and hoepful in 2019, Confident and assertive and full of belief this time. Lets support and shout on our lads. Up the kingdom. Green and Gold will forever reign supreme.

I would have to agree with some of the posters here.. I reckon we’ll have the legs on them on the field and bench.. Midfield I’ve complete faith in Diarmuid and Jack.. I reckon there going to go after us right from the throw in they have to in my opinion.. Keep it tight early on no soft goals and as the game goes on I think we’ll pull away.. Here’s hoping anyway..

Clubs were informed last night of their initial allocation - seems reasonable from what I have heard but a lot of Hill 16 tickets included. Hill 16 is where the Dubs will want to be so its a good ticket as swaps should be easy to come by on the day. id love to see us have at least 30% of the hill. What is the allocation for Hill 16 for All Ireland finals when Dublin are involved? Surely it has to be 50/50? Something tells me it’s not though.

The Hill is worth a couple of points to Dublin. Kerry supporters should not be giving up those tickets. Do not swap Hill 16 tickets with the Dubs.

I wouldn't say Hill 16 is all that appealing for most when the Dubs are in town. Hence why plenty opt for a swap. I also wouldn't say it matters a whole pile. In 2019 the whole stadium was like Hill 16, practically bouncing in that last couple of minutes when the Dubs supporters knew the 5 in-a-row had been achieved. I've any amount of examples but Seánie Shéas last minute beaut into the Hill is a memory that will live long.

Firstly, I think the aura about the hill is maybe a bit over hyped, it didn't bother Seanie last year and despite people stating it was a free shot as the sides were level, the reality is, Dublin were on top at that juncture and we'd have been in trouble in ET. As for the hill appeal for our younger fans, I've two teenagers who were on the hill last year against Galway, there again for Tyrone and Derry, but neither will go near the place Sunday week if I can secure tickets elsewhere

It was young ones from Monaghan, Armagh, Clare, Kilkenny that were at it this year. The hill needs better stewarding and I've no doubt it will be on Sunday week.

In the 2019 replay, we had Kerry teenagers fighting with middle aged Dublin fans. I dont think any county can claim to be whiter than white. It needs to be called out and not weaponise it for tribal use. Since Covid I feel a nastiest vibe in attendances. Hopefully the GAA do clamp down on this nonsense with extra Gardaí both this Sunday and next.
