Derry v Kerry AISF Sunday 16th July 4pm

[Piskin]

You could say the Clifford shoulder which was a turnover ball for Kerry but was a mistaken free for Derry was a momentum changer in the first half. Derry should've taken that goal chance, instead of soccer shit he should've picked her up and buried it.

Bit of a difference, in all fairness. O'briens wasn't anywhere near a free whereas Clifford's shoulder was a meaty one and straddles the dangerous play area. Anyway, wides and poor shooting cost Derry. Kerry very, very lucky there.

Kerry deserved winners at the end. Kerry keeper & defence were calm & strong under pressure. The Ulster ref gave Derry a chance to draw the game in the end but Derry did not capitalize on that luck. Kerry kicked some sweet points to win it.

No decent subs cost them

Jesus you talk some keek!

I thought Derry had that one in the bag  but Kerry found that extra gear  just as Derry hit the wall. It's a tough one to take home.

[An Watcher]

Forgot who it was but young sub caught a pass from thr keeper more or less in front of goal.  Should have taken the mark but didn't

No...just facts

Thoroughly enjoyed the game. Felt Derry bottled it with the couple of wides at crucial times. Felt 2 Kerry tackles should have been straight reds and lead to serious looking injuries, really enjoyed the battle between the full forwards and their men.. mc Faul brought sosmething they really didn't have last year and I feel Derry still need at least another player or 2 to be serious contenders so meenagh and Co will have a busy winter looking for another mc faul for next year...

Kerry's defensive play has improved massively the last few years

Last year their defensive improvement is what basically won them the AI last year.  Tyrone in the Quarter final was their best defensive performance this year. Today 1st half was not great defensively or 2nd half when Derry created a couple of goal chances and Kerry will have to improve on today's defensive performance in order to beat Dublin.

Dubs will handle Ciarraí in the AIF -- the Muckers have shown the way.

Nil me ceaptha. Ciarrai are younger.

Nach éa, i ndáiríre?

Is ea. Ambaiste!

Seafóid a chara!

Yes, it was a real arm in the air moment! He completely was caught for composure.

Great game, two teams who went at it, I really enjoyed it.
I saw Derry in the semi-final last year and thought they were awful, their manager has done a fantastic job, they were great to watch today but if they had more self-belief the result could have been different.
Derry will surely regret the chances they missed, they went for goal, when a simple tap over was the best option, but its easy for me in my living room.
Well played both teams and thank you a great afternoons entertainment.

[Rossfan]

One hell of a game.
Derry blew it with those wides when 1-14 to 1-12 up.
The team with the best 20 players won.
Dublin Joe's watch must have stopped in added time.

[passedit]

Nothing about the systematic targeting of Mc Guigan? Also soft yellow for Mc Caigue and Kerry full back gets a tick after fouling all day? Mc Quillan is a firms man. Looked bad for Mc Kinless at the end. Stonewall red for O Shea, not even booked.

[Piskin]

Derry could not handle the pressure & intensity basically.

[seafoid]

Derry just ran out of steam and the shooting form that they had in the first half faded away as the legs got heavy. I Really thought they had Kerry shook in the first half especially Clifford. I think Kerry will come right in the final and win.

In soccer stuff happens between 80 and 90 minutes
In GAA it's more likely between 60 and 70.
Derry need to go home and think again
