Hi Guys and Gals. Brand new on here, been following this site for at least 10 years easily tho. I predicted a draw in the first game and for Kerry to get a penalty which I thought Paul would’ve buried 😭 anyway I think we might win by 12/ 13 points Saturday. Dublin are gone. can’t bate the youth.

Fecks sake lads, we cant hand the Hill over to Dublin! Indeed. It was great to see so many green and gold jerseys two weeks ago. If at all possible keep the terrace tickets. Far better view than alot of the Davin in my opinion. We will probably be outnumbered anyway but Dublin having a large block of support together on the hill gives them an advantage.

Well, what a game, what a contest, and more to come. This final is taking on the title of epic, possibly the most epic of all the finals in the last decade, and there have been a few. People who scoffed when I said Kerry were on their way after last year, and during the league, and so on, might think otherwise now. People who keep up the monotonous drone of Dublin 8-in-a-row and all that nonsense, I'm sure they're first in line to say how great Kerry are and that this was always coming.
Me I just think we're lucky to witness this moment in history, whatever the outcome, this is one of the greatest sporting epic tidal moments in the whole long backlog of the great game of peil, and possibly the greatest ever moments of the Kerry-Dublin rivalry. There are so many plots in this now, it will be talked about even double the amount that 55, 75, 78, and 2011 finals, and the 77 semi-final were. 2013 semi-final will stand alone still perhaps as the greatest game, but this replay could yet surpass it.
I don't know what to predict for saturday. That's an honest opinion. Another draw would not surprise me, there is so much at stake here and things are so finely balanced it reminds me a little of the Meath-Dublin saga in 91. And that was just a preliminary round game. So enjoy this moment, there won't be anything like it again for at least a generation or more.

Somewhere south side! And even there they’ll be hard to avoid. Mulligans on Poolebeg Street just over the liffey is a lovely pub. I was on the Hill the last day.. crazy is the only word. mulligans on poolbeg street is the last place you should go. It will be full of Dublin fans

The game itself will have to be a classic or at least a close contest to be regarded as a great moment in the history of the rivalry. You thought last years final was a good game also so you do have a different way of seeing these things.

We are nearing the end game and very soon all the talking - and posting - will stop . Some opinions will be proved right , some wrong but all are honestly held and all , pessimistic or optimistic will be in Kerry’s corner and willing them on every minute of the game. But our opinions won’t win Sam . The fight to be carried to the Dubs will be by our warriors wearing the green and gold who showed no inhibitions or fears when faced by the all conquering Champions the last day and whose hands were tantalising close to grabbing Sam until suddenly the enormity of what they were about to achieve dawned on them and preservation being the last refuge of man caused them to pause and to try to hold on to how far they had gone . And the consolation of ‘ so near but yet so far ‘ is that they have in PK and his Management team the knowledge and experience to ensure that if they were to find themselves in the same situation on Saturday they will know how to deal with it. The Dubs will not die easily - Champions never do - and if given the late chances they missed the last day they will hardly do so again . But Kerry missed golden chances also it must be remembered . If Clifford , O Brien , O Shea and Geaney turn on the style so too you can expect O Callaghan , Kilkenny , Mannion and Rock to do likewise. Something has got to give . Will it be our Defence or the Dubs . Maybe a more attack minded game from us is the answer but the Dubs play a 15 man game which for us is fraught with danger and open to devastating counter attacks . I think the answer lies in the end game . A 3 point lead with 10 playing minutes left I’d take - anything less gives the Dubs their end game platform and we know how that usually works out . Best of luck to PK and Kerry - you have given us all so much more than we could possibly have expected this year . And safe travel and return to all. Nice words there indeed sounds like your signing out for now and thats totally understandable we are all just waiting now for the big day Posters like yourself and Ardfertnarrie among many others have kept this forum lively and interesting .Us posters here have covered a lot of angles And will continue to do so well done and let’s hope you and the rest of us will have volumes to write on Saturday night and Sunday and long into the winter On the back of a historic win similar to our 1975 win Soak it all in lads enjoy the game where ever you are watching it Kerry abu!

There are a lot of whispers of different players being injured and unavailable and I really hope they aren’t true. Kerry will need everybody that played the first game and they need to get even more out of them. I’m really looking forward to seeing how PK deals with the kickouts and if we can get as much joy with the press as we did last time. It will be like chess. We’ll need somebody who we don’t expect to surpass all expectations and have a day of days but I think we have a couple of those with the potential to do it.

Beat by Galway, robbed Monaghan of a victory and only near Kildare at home because they had a man sent off while they were well on top

Kerry went to the drawn with 4 or 5 players who had experienced AI final day. On Saturday they will have about 26 players who have experienced AI final day. The mystery is gone. And even though they had a great season they were playing the so called greatest team of all time. How would that go? They proved they can match them. Another mystery gone. Kerry can gain a lot more from the drawn game than Dublin.
People say Dublin will improve. They have been at the top for years. They have perfected the game that suits them. Everything they did in the drawn game was predictable. Cluxton did what Cluxton does etc. They are gone away past pulling a rabbit out of the hat on Saturday. Kerry know they will face more of the same.
There is no mystery about what Jack McCaffrey does. Kerry generally play 4 main forwards – 2 inside and O’Brien and O’Shea outside. All season there has been a variety of players at no 10 whose roles were mostly defensive. Based on this Dublin took a calculated risk and it worked. McCaffrey's defensive responsibilities were minimal. He is very fast, so he went forward and was mostly unmarked. It is not a question of who will “mark” McCaffrey, it is a question of making his defensive role more important so that he must stay back. Considering the way Kerry have played this year, regardless of the named team, I would not be surprised to hear an announcement at half five on Saturday that either Burns or Moynihan is starting on the wing.
I expect Kerry to do it by a few points.

Sorry lads my father is pushing on in years and I’d prefer him to be sitting. The hill apparently was mayhem the last game, the steps from the tunnel were fully blocked too. Very understandable.

The Examiner reporting that Brogan is to be included in the 26. So either again is admitting that he got it wrong the last day or there is tension in the camp.
The fact that he has gone so over the top with the “great unity in the camp” stuff is telling.
Any chink in the armour we’ll take. Because we’re on a hiding to nothing if what’s been written is to believed.

I see Peter Canavan repeats his forecast of a double digit defeat for Kerry on Saturday . Already Sean Cavanagh has stated that if Kerry were in any other province that they would not make the Super 8 .
Fine chips still remain on Tyrone shoulders .

If you can't see the significance of this battle in the broader and historical context then you're away with the fairies. Of course for Kerry there isn't any room for sentimentality or history right now, winning is all that matters. Yes last year's final was a good, open game, and Tyrone made a contest of it even if they fell a good bit short. Just because the game didn't work out the way you wanted it to does not mean it wasn't a good game. It was damn sight better game that Kerry murdering Mayo and Cork multiple times in the 00s

But it was obvious Kerry would get a good coach. Yes alot of unknowns for Keane but not a massive surprise that he has turned out, along with his lieutenants, to be going so well so far. Still, it had to be done, and alot of the credit goes to them but it wasn't a surprise that with the talent available somebody would harness it sooner than later. And progress can be really fast with a young team.

Best of luck to them - they are thinking emotionally and not rationally. Their crowd had a crack at Dublin last year and again this year and failed miserably - Kerry are already miles ahead of them just by taking the game to a replay. Cavanagh in particulr had a bitter taste that he just can't shake.....
