The 1985 final was good. 1981 was so bad it was unreal.... Jackos goal was the only decent move in the whole game.
it will be interesting to see what people make of the 1985 final now.... 22 years on.

Watched it last night... might i add while everyone else was probably watching the egg chasers (New Zealand Vrs France).. Jacko was some player.. He was unmarkable in the first half of 1985 all ireland.

jacko was the real deal,5 texaco footballer of the year awards and 6 allstars in a row at midfield plus 7 all ireland medals at no. eight,says it all really.
one thing that struck me watching the game again was the massive work ethic of the kerry players and there massive hunger to win every ball available,that was something very evident and displayed by the recent kerry crop v cork in this years final,the will and hunger to win every available ball,almost an obsession to win it.
the bomber was an intergral part of that kerry machine,winning ball inside and coming out to win ball out around the middle when needed,the same as kieran did this year v dublin in the semi this year,i still feel kieran will become as good as the bomber for kerry in years to come.
kerry fairly shut out that game in last few miniutes when dublin got the late goal,3 unanswered points to go four clear,jacko's high catch at the death right in the middle of the kerry centre half back line to kill the game as set up john kennedy for the isurance point was typical of jacko,jacko at his peak was unplayable and unrivilled in his day.
watching it again on saturday brought it all back,they were indeed the greatest gaelic football team of all time decorated by some of the greatest players ever to play the game.
that was good all-ireland final,theres was nothing wrong with it,has much changed in kerry, a great midfielder then,a great fullforward,a huge massive obsession to win every available ball and some great players playing of the central players,now the very same with the present kerry team can be said with darragh,kieran,aidan,colm,declan etc,etc,etc, matched by the obsession and hunger to win very available ball.

The attempts by Joe McNally, Ciaran Duff and John Kerins to kick points were awful.
Kerry were cleaned out at midfield in the second half. Ger Lynch, Tom Spillane and Timmy Dowd were excellent. Pat Spillane was cat that day.
It is my considered view that the Kerry team of 2007 was better than that team.

kerry proberly slipped into snooze mode for the second half,dublin were very poor in the first half,but kerry closed out the game after dublins second goal fairly well.
as it stands nows
kerry '80's,won 6 munster championship,played in 6 all-ireland finals,won 5,won 2 national leagues and one being a double.
kerry '00s,won 6 munster championships,played in 7 all-ireland finals,won 4 drew one,won two national leagues and two being doubles.
if kerry win the three in a row in '08 they will have surpassed one of the greatest decades in kerrys history the '80,s.
their in the same parish all right mickmack,the door is ajar and this present kerry team are having a peep inside.

Aye, but the Kerry team of the 80's were after coming through since '75 and by 86' had more miles than a space shuttle on them.....they were bound to run out of steam. It's not really fair to highlight just the 80's the way you have.

simply counting the medals is no way to compare the teams.......
using that criteria........ Maurice Fitz with only two medals should never be regarded. The present dubs team were much better than than dubs team of 1985......

Post by kerrygold on Oct 9, 2007 19:29:49 GMT
its a fair enough comparison though stacks.
the '30s and '80s were kerrys most successful decades winning 5 all-irelands in each of the two decades,in the thirties kerry played in 7 all-ireland finals and in the '80s kerry played in 6 finals.
so far in the '00s kerry have played in 7 finals (including replay)winning 4 and drawing one,these lads have the potential to produce the greatest decade of achievement in kerrys history on titles won,all-ireland finals played in,won and drawn,munster championships and league titles won.
in modern times i find that pretty spectacular and impressive,obviously economic climate has nothing to do with all-ireland wins in kerry as the '30s,'80s and '00s were are all vastly different times.
also the team of '80s didnt have to content with a revolution in football such as produced by armagh and tyrone in '02,03 and '05 who brought the game to new heights of intensity,preparation and performance.
these guys have greatness awaiting at their finger tips if they can carry on the momentum of the last two years and keep their heads on their shoulders.

I'm beginning to wonder if we could have a fair debate on the Golden Years versus now. I've tried in the past but been shot down.
Where the team of the current decade have had to deal with a 'Northern' revolution, Kerry had to deal with an aging squad in the mid '80s, as evidenced by about half the players having more bandages than Mahatma Ghandi during his funeral march!!

i dont know about that mickmack,john o leary,mick holden,gerry hargan,mick kennedy,ray hazley,pj buckley,tommy drumn,pat canavan,jim roynane,briam mullins,barney rock,tommy conroy,charlie redmond,john kerins,joe mcnally,kieran duff,tommy carr
those lads lads won 3 leinsters,one national league('87),one all-ireland and contested 3 all-ireland finals in a row,the present dublin team are light years off that level of achievement and performance.
the present dublin team might be fitter and more physically stronger but that older dublin team had more quality footballers available to them.
we could do with rashers for this debate stacks,any chance admin could email him and alert him.

"Ger Lynch....on towards Timmy Dowd......Can he get a goal?...Yes!...The perfect response from Kerry, and how fitting it was that Ger Lynch, the wing back should have set it up for him...beautiful vision...spotting that Timmy Dowd was on a run.....and the finish was clinical!" I've watched Kerry Golden years once too often I think!  |

Kerrygold...... did u not think that the scoring attempts by dublin were pathetic. The present dubs have much better forwards

"Ogie takes a shot, and Ogie scores a point. Ogie Moran is a man of many parts and many places. Indeed Ogie has played in so many positions, the Kerry selectors don't know where to put him".
"High, high high and it's over the bar. A lovely point there by.....Mikey Sheehy".
And a few great shorter ones:
"We had to regain.....lost prestige, let me put it that way to you" Ger McKenna.
"I can see Kerry's view of point" Tony Hanahoe - the only man I can think of who didn't say point of view!
"Oh Paddy, Oh Paddy, Oh Paddy".
"Bernard Brogan, drilling for oil".
"Mikey Sheehy.....BANG" (Need to confirm that one).
Ah, must watch it when I get homef for Christmas and brush up on the quotes.

Kerrygold...... did u not think that the scoring attempts by dublin were pathetic. The present dubs have much better forwards i agree dublins forwards were poor on the day mickmack and the shooting was bad,mullins was a well beaten docket at midfield by then so that might have effected forward supply.It might also have something to do with a back seven of neligan,paidi,walsh,mick spillane,doyle,tom spillane and ger lynch. i'd find it hard to agree with you that dublins present day forwards are better then the '85 vintage. rock,conroy,redmond,keirns,mcnally and duff represent far more potential than the present dublin forwards,take out the two brogans and things start to look bare,dublin at the moment are also carrying a free taker,barney rock was always alot more than just a free taker.dublin at present dont have a forward the calibar of kieran duff. dublins defence of '85 was also far superior than dublins present day out fit. would the present day dublin team beat the kerry team of '85 mickmack? |

I'll pay good money for that - already have it on video at home so RTE got their few bob already off me.
If anybody can do that, I'll willingly put a few bob in their bank account :-)
Oh, and somebody would have to explain how to seed, and download and all that stuff.

Kerrygold........its hard to answer that but I have this feeling that the teams that were around over the past seven years......... Meath, Galway, Tyrone, Armagh, Dublin are better than what that Kerry team had to face in 1984, 1985 and 1986. The Offaly team of 1982 was excellent though

ya,armagh,tyrone and galway for definate are better than what kerry faced in the '80s,i wouldnt be too sure about meath and dublin though.Roscommon gave kerry a fair auld blast in '80 but i suppose the bombers absence didnt help for that one.The thing about offaly in '82 is that the hand of history proberly rose up from the croker sod and tripped them up.I wouldnt like to say to much to be little that group of kerry players because they were the best team around of their generation.
