Tyrone v Kerry - All-Ireland SF 2021

[APM]

If Spillane's nonsense before the game was any indication of the thinking in the Kerry camp going into this game, no wonder they were beaten

[grounded]

Kerry very poor.  You would have thought they had Covid. 

There will rightly be many questions asked about whether this game should have been moved.  The delay was all in favour of Tyrone and you can ask questions if it should have made any difference to Kerry.  However ,they still should have had a better opportunity to prepare than Tyrone.  They looked sluggish.  It was Tyrone that looked like a team who was collectively training, while Kerry looked like they weren't.

How would you have given Kerry a better opportunity to prepare. Surely the fact that they hadnt a serious game in the Munster championship so far is the real issue.

YAAAASSSSSSSS

Kerry gave Tyrone a hell of a scare. Commiserations to them. They just came up against a better team.

Surley by that logic kerry should have been fitter as they had 5 weeks of training under their belt.

Has to be one of the greatest managerial heists in GAA history. It was a masterclass from Logan and Dooher.

Kerry don't have enough Marquee forwards. As a Mayo man it feels nice to say that!

Two points of note from the All Ireland semi-finals:

1: If ever there was an argument for an end to the provincial championships, then both semi's was it.  Kerry walzted thru Munster, Dublin thru Leinster, but neither of the much vaunted favourites were fit for the best of the other provinces.  Let's be finished with the pre-loaded Championships in favour of Kerry and Dublin, it's time for an open draw!

2: Never trust a Tyrone man when he tells you he has Covid.

[lenny]

Tyrone will be tired after that. They'll probably need an extra couple of weeks off before the final, player welfare and all that.

What happens if Mayo suddenly have massive covid issues?

Tyrone have the cure.

Kerry management learnt little from their extra time loss to Cork last year.

[Scoring Zone]

an old (extremely successful) manager drilled it in a team i played on Attitude reflects leadership, the performance, style and way a team goes about its business embodies the coach, think the calmness and ruthlessness of Dublin in their pomp, Donegal and McGuiness, Ferguson and United, Mourinho and his teams - if ever there was a performance that embodied Brian Dooher that was it, dogged, aggressive, smart, resilient against the most favoured and spoilt county in the country - sweet is no the word

Open draw is an easy call, but some of the best games were in the Ulster championship, having Monaghan play Limerick would not be all that attractive. However, this year there was no back door of any sort, Monaghan, Donegal, Armagh, Galway etc might have beaten Kerry already or given them a proper test.

I wouldn't trust a Tyrone man if he said it was Saturday.

How come so many Kerry players went down with cramp ? They had TWO WEEKS EXTRA to prepare !

Did the Kerry management get much wrong? I think a lot of the young Kerry players have hyped up well beyond their standing. David Moran and Tommy Walsh may well retire now. Paul Geaney and Stephen O'Brien are past their best too.
