The knives will be sharpening for Dessie Farrell but Dublins failure to bring many players through in the last 3/4 years is becoming more evident now. Very few decent players in the 21-26 age group category and they are now in a relegation battle.

Time to amalgamate Dublin again

The Dubs love their oul high neck tackles.

Ref team got the wrong number for Scully black cared but got all
the other card decisions right.

Result has precisely zero to do with the ref.

Dublin look close to clueless. One Kerry player went down holding his head when Kilkenny hit him in his chest. I hope his self respect makes a quick recovery

7-1 to Dublin in what was a poor 2nd half in a contest that was over at half time
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Fair play to Kerry players staying out on pitch to engage with fans on night like that. Nice to see.

Wasn't overly impressed with them tonight. The failings they had last year still seem to be there. Dublin were shambolic and need to get some of their top players back asap or they're going to be in division 2 next season.

Dangerous to read anything into a game played in winter conditions, but overriding feeling is how open the All Ireland looks to be this year.

It's important that if there's a strong breeze you play with it in the first half. Providing you win the toss.. Limerick, Galway and Kerry all played with the breeze in the first half and all had solid leads built up. Dublin are much better than tonight  and will improve Kerry going full of the pipe.

Two impressive 1st halves from Kerry in the league so far and two dire 2nd halves.
Kerry need to be more clinical - left behind at least 3 gilt edged chances particularly the penalty and Geaney's chance.
Both sides still with 4 or 5 to come in. Moran, White, Okunbor the main ones for Kerry. McCarthy, Cooper, O'Callaghan, Fitzsimmons, Small for Dublin.
A championship match in Croke Park between them would be 50:50

Okunbor still unproven.

Kerry for me, I only saw the first 25 minutes, still have big gaps round half back and are vulnerable to being run at.

Kerry fans embarrassing themselves here tonight, its a League match in February but you'd think they were Burnley playing at home against Barcelona with some of the small time booing, jeering and insults coming from the stands.
Paudie had them spot-on!😁

Always play with the wind in the second half. Momentum wins games and if you set up right against it that frustrates the other team. Dublin we're doing grand till the black card then collapsed. Had that not happened I think it could have been a significantly different game. Would they have won?  No but they would not have lost by as much. Ifs and buts though

Not sure about that, plenty of times the wind dies down for the 2nd half.
