Dublin v Kerry AISF

[fearsiuil]

@Captain Scarlet McStay is a born and bred Mayo man and played underage and senior football for them.

Mayo man living in Ros town, former army man based in Athlone. Has managed Ros seniors, minors, numerous Ros Gaels sides, aswell as Brigids, where he won All Ireland club. He is still very much a Mayo man, can people not tell with the sh*te he talks
Decent manager in fairness, played on the same pitch, hard going in terms of moaning, wanted every ball going his way.

See his commentary on the Eoghan McLoughlin jaw break tackle v Dublin last year for his efforts to be balanced, he's a dose.

I suspect McStay and Canning shaped a lot of peoples perception of the follow up to the penalty. I am just glad they weren't refereeing.

He kicks the ball with the right (hard but totally fair), kicks the head with the left in a clearly deliberate action.

That's the problem people have with it. You would have the same problem if it happened to you.

Clearly deliberate. Lol

It was deliberate. Sorry if you'd agree but there is no reason for the left foot to come off the turf abd into comerford's face. It's the non kicking foot. He's knows what he done. The punishment is a red card.

That was not deliberate and not a red card. Right call.

I'm sure everyone who thinks that would think the same if it was someone's boot in their mush or their child's or brothers face.

It's clearly deliberate, the left foot would never go near comerford's face in a natural movement.

I got many the accidental hit playing football. Did I automatically think they were on purpose. No. For me that's accidental. The normal movement after running in at speed to kick the ball is forward motion. That momentum doesn't automatically stop upon striking the ball. So the next step is forward by the other foot. Anyway, it's all opinions, only one person knows for sure.

He had only a small role in the game, but fair fucks to Paul Murphy for having the balls to play the pass to Clifford to win that free at the end.

Think back to Donegal in the Ulster Final. We had the ball after a Derry miss, over a minute left to play in a level game in injury time. Instead of showing some balls and trying to work it up the field to try to win the game, we instead proceeded to handpass the ball around our own 45, everyone afraid to be the one to take a chance on losing the ball in a turnover, instead happy to take the game to extra time.

Dublin could easily have turned over that ball into Clifford, but those players are obviously coached and encouraged to have a go.

Fair play to both teams yesterday. That was two teams just going at it, playing brave, intelligent, highly entertaining football, won by a kick that will go down in GAA history.

Clifford - those first half points were just mind-boggling. Has there been another player who could do what he can, the sheer breadth of his skills, winning ball, throwing shapes to make a quick yard of space, using those inches of room to hit outrageously accurate shots from all over the place with either foot?

Thats a good point on Murphys pass to Clifford. It looked fairly simple but it was the brave option given the time of the match and sometimes you have to take a risk to win rather than playing not to lose. Derry or Donegal would have recycled possession if faced with that same situation since that is the way that they are coached. I thought Kerry for about the last 20 minutes were a bit too tentative when the game got close and it looked like if it went to extra time that Dublin actually had the momentum. So to kick that monstrous free at the death and see the game out was massive for Kerry. It will be held in the same esteem as Cluxtons free kick in 2011 in years to come. 

If Kerry do win the All Ireland then Paddy Tallys stock will go through the roof. I watched the game yesterday in a bar and every time Kerry shut Dublin down or turned them over in defence it was all put down to Paddy Tally. Given that he will have an intimate knowledge of Galway he will be even more important in the next 2 weeks. If you can't beat them join them.

Winning this match engendered a particularly emotional response from Kerry.  Failure was close. Failure was unthinkable. The 6 in a row caused PTSD in the Kingdom.


They really would prefer to be playing Mayo. Jack went into the Mayo dressingroom  after the 2004 final and told the Mayo players , no Sam since 1951, that Kerry needed the win more than they did. Times have changed since given the Kerry famine.

Jack always times his entrance. All Ireland in his first year in 2004, came back in 09 and now back again.

Jack always seems to win the All-Ireland the year after Tyrone won it.

Yep, after failing against us in 2005, he timed his stints better!
