Tyrone v Kerry - All-Ireland SF 2021

[RedHand88]

I think we can safely say Kieran McGeary is nailed on All-Star!

Huge shout for player of the year.

It will be all based on the final.

Normal time, additional time and extra time a Covid ravaged Tyrone gave Kerry nearly 100 mins to beat them and they couldn't do it. They couldn't do it. That's on Kerry. They can have no excuses. Tyrone the better team. More energy, more commitment. Kerry far to reliant on Clifford. A one man team.

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Come on Tyrone , we are going to bring the Sam Maguire home , diddly de diddly da

[Walter Cronc]

I think Kerry really have to look at themselves. Keane should get the road. Playing Sean O'Shea closer to goal hasn't worked as they've lost his effectiveness in the middle third. Kerry have some serious problem at midfield. Perhaps O'Connor can go there but Moran past it and Barry not physical enough. Congrats to Tyrone. Hope Mayo win it but Tyrone will be around for a while!

[Cobra]

Thought Kerry got a lot of soft frees close to goal. They went down very easy. Stephen O'Brien especially. Tyrone bate 16 men in reality. And with 14 men for most of 2nd half. Ref kept Kerry in it.

One thing I noticed on the sky coverage just as the players were coming off after 70mins was the difference in body language between the teams. They showed close ups of the two Clifford's and Brian Ó Beaglaoich, all looked shell-shocked and exhausted. By comparison Hampsey and McCann looked like they were at the start of a match, not the end.

Kerry have some serious problem at midfield?

Do you watch the match at all?

I noticed that
I put it down to the Kerry lads thought that it was theirs to loose and the papers said so
Extra time wasn't in their plans for the day at all at all
Turn up, play the game, run the scoreboard up and the trickiest thing to manage was
making it back to Hueston station for the 17:30 to Tralee

I thought the exact opposite.  Who'd be a ref.

Keep taking the tablets, maybe up the dose.

Kerry's diving antics would make you wanna stab your eyes out. Unwatchable.

There will be questions as to why they granted the extra week to Tyrone now. There was much talk in the media of them needing the game in preparation for the final. By inference that was being totally dismissive of Tyrone and perhaps they weren't ready for the war of attrition attitude that Tyrone brought.

Whatever the reason they looked both physically and mentally shot and devoid of any real leadership on the pitch.

Winning 5 minor titles in a row and looking good in the League guarantees nothing and it certainly doesn't prepare you for what Tyrone brought to the table yesterday. It was down in the trenches stuff at times and Kerry were found wanting. Once Kerry didn't take advantage of the Sludden black card and push on, I always feared for them in a tight finish. They have been mentally weak in the Dublin drawn final of 2019 and the Cork match last year. Yesterday was just another scar.

One thing that was baffling was the amount of Kerry players going down with cramp. Physically they look to have bulked up this year yet many of their players blew up before the game was finished.

Have you all got for first day back, hear those scientific calculators are hard to come by.

Just turning up mentality cost Kerry a goal when they tried to show boat the ball into the net..
