There's loads more All Irelands in this Kerry team, they just need that one this year to kickstart it.
And there are no traditional counties to stop them remaining this year, Meath have some depth of tradition but they not a recently tested team in this cauldron.

Clifford & Co could/should end up with say 6 All Irelands, Kerry go way over 40 in the roll of honour.
 And then another generation comes through like the great minor players we all saw in Newbridge last Sunday.

A good Tyrone crowd travelled today to Newbridge.

I'm not expecting too many to go to Croke Park next Saturday. It's never easy planning a journey on the Twelfth. Augher, Sixmilecross and Coagh have the Tyrone demonstrations, so they are towns to definitely avoid.

Tyrone are bigger than West Ham. This is fact.

I thought it looked like a knee drop in real time. Was expecting a replay to see what really happened but they didn't do one and it didn't show the incident on the Sunday game. If it was a head clash to the ground fair enough but it was certainly a very nasty one either way.

3 Kerry men around Burns then, but don't think they were trying to injure him. Was surprised when saw the blood.
That incident did coincide with the start of Kerry's dominance though. Was it Crealey missed a handy one around same time to go 6 up and the game changed utterly then.

It'd be a bonus if Cathal McShane could be parachuted in. The forward line have missed his physical presence. 

We could reinvent ourselves as "kick-out coaches" and we'd be set for life. 

Tyrone will be happy to share the same pitch with Kerry, learning what they can and seeing how they can improve for the future. Even games you lose can be learning  experiences. 

Kerry will now win the All-Ireland so it's a matter of housekeeping until the Sam returns to the Kingdom. 

Galway must be close to empty at this stage. Miles and years on the clock is a tough combination.
Always better to avoid that preliminary round.

It's a good game for the lads to step up to the top table. Show the country there's a good team in there with lots of potential coming over the next 5 years. Dublin have been hit & miss and won't be relishing this game.

2008 since Tyrone last beat Dublin in championship, but we did beat them comfortably by 7 points in Healy Park 90 days ago.

There must be some way, technical or otherwise, that Mayo can stay in the Championship. 

Who do Kerry prefer? That's the heated ball.

Motoring well in first 20 mins.

Dublin is blue. Hill 16 is Dublin only. 

Topping your group is essential for getting an extra week off. For those with genuine AI ambitions, that is a big goal to aim for.

Funny how this format has grown on me this year but it's gonna change again in 2026.

Strangely, Tyrone are still favourites to top the group. But Cavan have to be defeated no matter what, then head-to-head rule means Donegal can't get above us.

That entails Donegal winning today and then beating Mayo at the neutral venue. Mayo are as inconsistent as Tyrone so no guarantee they will show up v Donegal.
