Dublin have a few very unlikeable players among their ranks. John Small cormac Costello and now Brian Howard. Totally agree. Small was poison all night again, persistently fouling Murphy, taking out McHugh and then helping ensure Murphy got his second yellow. Howard is fast becoming their enforcer in chief, throwing his considerable bulk and weight around. Mannion persistently fouled all night too, often cynically so. They quite rightly earn great praise for their ravenous workrate but they have a number who practice the dark arts of fouling, feigning being fouled, blocking runs and working the ref with persistent badgering.

I am very disappointed in folk on this forum, they always find other teams cynical. Dublin, Galway and then Tyrone and no doubt Meath will be cynical tomorrow. Before calling the opposition cynical and naming players look in the mirror first. Maybe Star has a point in wipeout or clean up these forums.

Your own words, which is it? No Kerry player has ever stooped to the level of cycinism that Dublin and Tyrone have demonstrated in the last few weeks.

Give us an example of a Kerry player doing what Tyrone, and Dublin did tonight Mahoney dogging Murphy all game in 2014 final probably the easiest example. And you can’t say that’s just good marking, he set out with a plan and persistently fouled him off the ball

Have another go

Small should be told that he doesn’t have to get sent off every game. Costello has been at it since he came on the senior scene, and you can definitely add Howard to the list now. Gets himself involved in everything. Donegal looked decent.

Dublin showed their class up here coming from four points down to win this one with a second string team. Donegal played out of the skin but just had not enough class. Even Dublins newbies looked impressive. 2nd string team. 😂 Fitzsimons, Byrne, Small, Scully, Fenton, Howard, Kilkenny, Mannion, Rock wouldn’t be too happy with you for that comment.

Always thought Rochford was recruited to magic away the Dubs and Dgal 1st half defensive tactics suggests same. It wasn't good enough though and maybe because Dgal are different DNA to Maigh Eo, big gap to close and Dessie has come good, Dubs are just so powerful, physically and mentally, can we close the gap?
Championship will be class, who will walk down the relegation aisle with An Mhí though? Some years half the division should go, not so an bhliain seo!

I cant see into the future to see how Meath will play but I dont think their recent teams were cynical. Tyrone are the Kings of Cynical and the Dubs are well capable of it. I find it funny how a fella who is getting paid to give his opinions on various media outlets thinks a forum with limited visibility should be shut down. This forum is tame.

That's embarrassing! What's embarrassing is coming onto the Kerry form to call others embarrassing and not contributing an opinion of your own having only just joined. Have you read reservoirDubs? Now that's embarrassing. Kerry are no angels, Angels win nothing. If anything we don't have enough of a mean streak. Dublin have brought it too another level. Mayo 2016 dragging every mayo forward to the ground was the best example.

Only for O Shea frees Meath would be ahead, and Meath down to 14 for quarter of the first half.

Sounded like we were very poor today, mayo looked like an old tired team vs monaghan. Will be a tight one next Saturday night if mayo lose they are in serious trouble. Tyrone will probably lose to dublin aswell and have donegal then mayo away my money is on them to join meath in div 2 and a dublin galway final.

Eight thousand and some few hundred there today, apparently all under 16 are not included in this figure. 2.13 scored by Meath today, The backs are still a big area of concern.

Attendance was announced as eight thousand and something. Depressing watching that. Started well, then fell apart. Some good performances from the front eight but the defence was a collective shambles. Kelly's kickouts were simply shocking and nearly won the game for Meath. Tommy was superb when he came on, made a huge difference.

Knock-out were a horror show. Lads getting free and keeper delayed kicking to them. Next option...stuck one down Bryan Mentons throat.
Geaneys form worries me.
On a positive note there some absolute bombs scored by Clifford, Burns more than once and Moynihan (I think two).

I didnt think much of the referee today either.
A lot of very odd decisions and I thought Killian O sullivans sin binning was harsh.
Very in consistent interpretation of the tackle

Last year, we had to play the likes of Gavin White and Adrian Spillane as forwards in order to provide sufficient defensive cover. I suspect something similar will be required this year if we are to cover these defensive deficiencies.

Tommy Walsh’s 'lift' today would suggest that he would do well on Dancing with the Stars.

After today only Leitrim 9-45 (77) and London 7-56 (73) have conceded more points than the Kerry defence in 4 rounds of the league.
Kerry's total conceded is 5-57 (72) 18 points a game.
Even with Tryone concededing a whopping 2-25 to Galway today, Tyrone have only conceded a total of 4-59 (71) compared to Kerry's total of 5-57.
Prior to today Meath had scored a total of 3-21 in their 3 games for an average of 10 points a game. Today they scored 2-13 (19).

Brian Kelly is nowhere near this level - I dont get his selection today 2 important saves in second half.The 20 metre kick out now promotes the longer kick out and our midfield was below par today.Also with breaks we were not upto scratch.Losing kickouts not always goalies fault.

Kerry seem intent on out scoring the opposition and feckless when it comes to defending. Works in a lot of games but not in the big tight games - our conversion rate is not high enough. Kicked 3 or 4 short again today which can be the difference when the pressure is on. First black for Meath was a bad call by the ref. Little or no use of the offensive mark which is interesting - maybe it will be used more later in the year. For such a small crowd the traffic delays getting into Killarney was crazy today - 20 minutes from BG garage on the F'fore to the Lidl roundabout at Noon.
