If people think that Clifford had a bad yesterday then they really, really don’t get football. You can be well marked and play well for the team. People get that. I dont think anyone said he was poor. There are aspects to his shot selection that are below par however and hopefully that aspect will be eradicated.

I am beginning to worry about the increasing hype surrounding Kerry. The other teams, especially the Dubs , must be smiling gleefully. It should be remembered that Dublin are the champions and remain number one until dethroned.

It should be remembered that Dublin are the champions and remain number one until dethroned. I normally like to get carried away with hope and somehow feel like the pain of loss is a part of living. I feel a lot more cagey now because the hope is becoming all too vivid and I am scared of more disappointment. Up Kerry.

John Fogarty: Peter Keane's 12 golden rules of yerra
Deflection and diversion are Peter Keane’s tools of the trade. Here's how he does it
John Fogarty: Peter Keane's 12 golden rules of yerra
TUE, 27 JUL, 2021 - 06:08 John fogarty John Fogarty Deflection and diversion are Peter Keane’s tools of the trade and on Sunday he was at it again, telling the media that “every old point you can get, you’ll take”.
Kerry have won six games this year by an aggregate of 94 points, an average of almost 16 points per game. It’s called for some cuter hoorism from Peter Keane who has clearly established his own rules of yerra:
1. Kill the hype no matter what your methods are
“That result could have gone the other way just as handily,” Keane following May’s 4-21 to 0-11 opening Division 1 South win over Galway in Tralee.
2. It might stretch the truth but you fight on that stretch
“If you took the goals out of the game there wasn’t a whole pile in the scoreboard,” Keane after the 6-15 to 1-14 Division 1 semi-final win over Tyrone last month.
3. Play the daw and ask a question when you already know the answer
“Seemingly, they put up a big score in the second half, did they?” Keane after Dublin beat Mayo the day before Kerry beat Tyrone in their respective 2019 All-Ireland semi-finals.
“They came across each other earlier in the year in Division 1. What was the result in that game?” Keane on Sunday about this Saturday’s Ulster final.
4. Treat quoted facts highlighting your team’s superiority with derision
“I’m running out of fingers!” he remarked after he was told the 11-point Munster semi-final win over Tipperary had brought their aggregate winning total to 43 for their last three games.
5. Tell a yarn to lighten the mood
“I got lost,” he said in 2020 about his first ever trip to Páirc Uí Chaoimh. “I went with my father Tom and my uncle. I went back out to the wrong tunnel. I went missing for a while but that’s a long time ago.”
6. Parodise for greater effect
What Keane said after qualifying for the 2019 All-Ireland final against Dublin: “I left the dressing room below and Shane Ryan was on the phone to Gerard Murphy of Vincent Murphy’s Sports in Castleisland. His biggest problem was would he get two pairs of boots or three pairs of boots, because he’d have the boots worn out so much from kicking the ball out to Dublin.”
7. When the press is strong, play it short. When you don’t like the question, cut off the chances of a follow-up
On Donie Buckley’s omission from the management team: “What I can say is that we parted company, I don’t get into individual discussions I have with either members of the management or the players. You have privileged discussions going on all of the time and that would be a breach of them. That is where it is.”
8. Failing that, make light of the question
On Sunday, Keane was asked if he intended going to the Ulster final on Saturday to see their would-be All-Ireland semi-final opponents Monaghan or Tyrone. “I don’t know. I might have to turn in and do a bit of work at home, bank holiday weekend.”
9. Show short shrift to whataboutery
Keane was asked before last November’s Munster semi-final could he remember what he was doing on May 24 when Kerry were originally expected to face Cork. “That day now at about two o’clock I was inside in the shop, PK’s ice cream parlour, and I was having a banoffee pie. It was absolutely gorgeous! I have no idea what I was doing!”
10. Tell them nothing about injuries
“Bits of leg injuries. I’ll worry about them, don’t worry,” after a number of queries, Keane’s assessment of Paul Geaney and James O’Donoghue’s issues last winter.
11. Throw in what might be perceived as some self-deprecation
“If you picture any bar counter or any car in normal times coming to a game and going to a game and picking the teams and should Tommy Walsh be playing, should be not be playing, is Peter Keane a clown, does he know what he is doing, does he not know what he is doing, should he have left this fella kick that free, should he have taken this fella off?” Keane speaking last year.
12. When you feel you’ve answered enough questions, say so
“Yerra, Peter Keane is getting ready to go home, the same way he’d have to go home either which way, whether we won or lost.” — after last year’s league draw with Dublin in Croke Park.

I couldn’t agree more with Veteran . To return to reality look at the calibre of the teams we have beaten - with the exception of the Dubs , who we drew with a 75th minute penalty in the League . And remember in that same match Dublin were cruising with a 7 point lead in the second half . While Dublin looked ponderous in their games against Wexford and Meath one can’t look beyond a Dublin - Mayo semi final with the almost usual inevitable result when these teams meet .
Justiafiably it can be agreed that the Dubs were the only quality team we played and in all honesty the only quality team left in the race for Sam . We are of course entitled to call Kerry a quality team also in light of the performances thus far subject to the reality check referred to above .
What are Tyrone thinking ? if we were hurting after Cork last November how will they feel after that 6 goal concession ? Hurting won’t be an adequate description . Agreed Monaghan won’t be easily disposed of but there are a lot of twists and turns to come before Sams home for the next year is decided .
There is no team so good that it can’t be beaten and no team so bad that it can’t win. Kerry look fitter , stronger , ruthless , skilful and with plenty of stamina in comparasion to 2019 ... but the hardest test is still ahead and focus must be maintained and heads must not be turned . Weather conditions can impact hugely on performance and how would we react in conditions like last November ?
Our glass may be half full but could yet be spilt . So rein back all the glory talk . Sam is never easily won and whilst we are well in the running we are not past the post by a long shot just yet.

The other Munster counties would see themselves as first and foremost hurling counties so its a bit unrealistic to be talking about being favourites.
Kerry have improved no doubt and Dublin are not as strong as regards their panel.
Its going to take a huge effort to dethrone Dublin though.

David Clifford, by his standards, had a bad day yesterday and I am sure that he thinks the same himself. The fact he played like a very good intercounty full forward does not negate that. I disagree. I thought his movement was excellent and he was responsible for a load of our scores. If our one tactic was to get him the ball all the time then we’d be easily go defend against. He played a sacrificial role yesterday but made superb runs and linked up very well when he got the ball. He was a very important part of an attack that shot the lights out I remember Sean sullivan had a piece in the kerryman a few years back about when he was over the kerry south u14 development squad. David clifford had shot the lights out in their blitz but was injured for the final. The injury had somehow been kept quiet. As the selectors were debating who would he replace him he walked over and said that he had been marked by 3 players all throughout the competition and it'd be the same in the final. So he said to play him and he'd stand in the corner and take three opposing backs with him leaving space for others to score. Which is what happened and Kerry won. Some maturity for a 13 year old.

Still it's when oinseachs start comparing what various persons 'contribute to Kerry' that sickens me, moreover as they have effectively sold out the rural part of the county themselves and sure didn't I myself save the tax payer €2.5m myself and no word of thanks, only dogs abuse - i.e. 'Who wants to be a millionaire' and that Pierse Brosnan movie I am working on!

And 2009 x5 times? What will the popularity stakes look like at 5pm on 29th Aug? Where would Micko's boys be? Here's a guess, I am rating as opposed to guessing what others might say, ah just to start a row seeing as we are 3 weeks out from a game- Mickos 35% 2009 25% 2014 10% 2021 30% Now for the burning question - what will that look like at 5pm on 29th Aug 2021? And sure that might only be the beginning.

In regards to the poll I would actually say that the last time Kerry were the form team in the country and won the AI would probably be 2007, they were a better team than Tyrone in 2008 in my opinion as well but were beaten on the day but I think the team from 2009-2011 were an ageing team and Cork were probably the form team in the country for 2009 & 2010. In 2014 I think out of the 4 semi finalists that year Kerry would have been ranked 4th but went to win the All Ireland. So in my opinion it's been about 13 years since Kerry were undoubtedly number 1 in the country, I'm not saying we are even no.1 now but we're getting close to it and if we win the AI this year we will undoubtedly be no.1 and therefore I think this would be the best Kerry team since 2006-2008 if we do end up as Champions.

I watched the game back yesterday evening and couldn't believe how poor the commentary team were. Kerry did something on Sunday that I have never seen from Kerry or any team before. I wont give Tyrone/Monaghan or the Dubs any tips on what this was but it went totally over the heads of those who should be giving the viewer at home a bit more than the usual clichés that Dessie Dolan is prone to do.
On the Clifford debate what surprised me was that even when it was clear he was a bit off his game, first touch not what it usually is and that his marker had the upper hand when it came to one v ones that Kerry didn't try go something else to get it to Clifford in the danger zone. Every ball he got was similar, the one bounce kick pass as he was running out to it. I would have instructed a few high balls into the full forward position to David to shake it up a bit. Paudie tried one diagonal ball very late on (although that may have been to Seanie) but other than that David kept getting the same type ball.
On Paudie Clifford I will hold my hand up and say I got it wrong with him. I thought he would be too much of a liability but he has been exceptional so far this season. Now Monaghan, Tyrone and Dublin will be different gravy when it comes to testing his perceived short fuse so there is a bit of a way to go yet.
David Moran and Brian Begley proved a few doubters wrong but obviously it is what they do from now on that will be what they are remembered for this season.
My concern at the start of the season here was over the backs and the full back line in particular. Those concerns were heightened in the first 17 minutes, albeit some others needs to take a bit of the blame too - particularly Jack Barry when he should have doubled up on Hurley for the goal. Kerry full back line will be dealing with Con O Callaghan, Ciaran Kilkenny, Cormac Costello and Dean Rock at various stages if we play Dublin. That will be the acid test. Maybe it will be a case of going for it in a shoot out.

I don't know what Fogarty's issue is in that article about Peter? Every team manager in sport conduct themselves like that with respect to the media. Hedging awkward questions and deflecting rumours etc. Why wouldn't he? Give away nothing in a sport where a potential winning strategy could be invented by knowledge of an injury or something. I agree with Veteran about the hype. I actually think that it's the only banana skin this year. Hopefully the mountain climber guy can bring them back down to Earth if there's any fear. He, of all people, should be good at that, literally!

So the current team, without a title , is regarded by many as better than the 2014 winning team. I think it was Thomas Hardy who said “there’s nowt so queer as folk” The comparison is a little premature . It reminds me of a very lively debate up in Cork prior to the 2006 hurling final , when Cork were going for three in a row against Kilkenny. The debate was whether the current “three in a row team” were better than the team that won the three in a row in the seventies. There was was a huge swell of support for the 2004, 2005, 2006? team as the superior outfit. That conversation died an unpleasant death when “ the current three in a row “ never materialised.
A further cautionary tale to help to lower expectations. In the 2002 All-Ireland campaign Kerry played football the quality of which surpassed or at least equaled that displayed in any campaign in my experience. You may recall Cork beat us in a replay in Cork so it was the back door for us that year. Was it the year the father of the O’Se boys died? In any case, in the earlier qualifiers we beat Fermanagh and Wicklow before going on to play Galway and Cork again in the quarterfinal and semifinal . Remember Galway were the champions having beaten Meath in the 2001 final, who had eviscerated us in the semifinal. We shredded both Galway and Cork , in the process playing football as near to perfect as one could hope to witness. Alas, you all know the 2002 tale did not have a happy ending.
The foregoing is not an attempt to be a spoil sport but rather a reminder that the chickens have not yet been hatched,

Our very aggressive kick out press has been a huge weapon of ours so far and our future opponents will note that and be working on ways to overcome it. I wonder will it continue to be as effective as we actually don’t have a high number of players who are dominant in the air. It’s very high risk as all it takes is one long kickout being caught cleanly and marked and a quick kick inside and we’re very very exposed. It’s certainly worth sticking with though as it gives our forwards a fantastic platform to do damage.

The foregoing is not an attempt to be a spoil sport but rather a reminder that the chickens have not yet been hatched, Found The Sunday Game highlights of the Munster Semi Final Replay of 2002 just a few hours ago. That replay occurred just days after M. O'Sé had passed, a certain P. Spillane wasn't too happy with the scheduling of the game. With regards Dublin and finals, very seldom have Dublin lost any finals since January 1st 2000 they've contested that they can be listed on one hand (excluding O'Byrne Cup): 2017 National League Division 1 Final 2011 National League Division 1 Final 2008 National League Division 2 Final (yes Division 2 final to Westmeath) 2001 Leinster Final 2000 Leinster Final In fairness Kerry went from 1982 to 2002 without losing an AI final, contesting and winning 5 AI titles in between. Edit: actually comparing with Kerry since January 1st 2000 we've lost the following finals (Excluding McGrath Cup): 2002 AI Final 2005 AI Final 2006 Munster Final 2008 National League Division 1 Final 2008 Munster Final 2008 AI Final 2011 AI Final 2015 AI Final 2016 National League Division 1 Final 2019 National League Division 1 Final 2019 AI Final We've lost about double the amount of Finals than Dublin in that time. In fairness we were there or there abouts for an additional decade and 4 of those finals were lost to the Dubs. Bringing it back to Kerry v Cork. It'll now be at least 10 years without a provincial title for Cork, their 3rd longest gap between provincial titles following the gap between 1928-1943 (15 years) and 1916-1928 (12 years).

One thing that jumped out to me from the game was nobody on the Sunday game made reference to Corks goal in the context of the new rules. If the black card and sin bin rule didn’t exist I have no doubt Jason would have pulled Hurley to the ground prior to entering the square (who wouldn’t) so the rule I believe def made Jason act differently. Each week the Sunday game pundits spend time highlighting refereeing mistakes or giving out about rule changes it would have been nice to just acknowledge the benefit in this case also. Not that I actually agree with the rule but I can see why it was brought in.

If you look at Hurley's goal again and examine the pace and effort that David Moran and Jack Barry put in to getting back to deny a goalscoring opportunity, I'd question that they put everything into it. Point being, I think we were playing well within ourselves in that first 20 minutes, if this goalscoring opportunity was one that was critical to the overall result of the match I believe that this goal would not have been scored, certainly without a bigger struggle.

If that game was any bit close I expect that to be given. It should be given regardless but these things happen.

If that game was any bit close I expect that to be given. It should be given regardless but these things happen. If it's the incident I'm thinking of, it looked inside the box to me in any case. I wonder if Tom Sullivan would have been given the penalty if Geaney hadn't poked in the loose ball for the 4th goal.

I think this tweet explains Kerry v Cork to a tee.
