Tyrone v Kerry - All-Ireland Semi-Final, Sunday 11th August 3.30pm

[tyrone08]

Maybe bitter here but 3-4 gifted frees from ref kept Kerry in the game for 2nd time since 2015. Only consolation is that he wont ref the final and kerry will be destroyed

Ref was woeful for both teams but yeah gave Kerry more. Don't know how he was allowed back to a championship game after his performance in Castlebar when we played Mayo.

Seriously though this is 2nd time shifting Tyrone in semi finals. Was brutal in 2015 and same again this time. Wondering what they would do to ensure kerry Dublin final now I know.

We can't beat a good team.

Or indeed, an average one.

Were does that leave armagh?

It wasn't a snide comment. Merely an observation. Kerry are average.

[Captain Obvious]

We can't beat a good team.

Tyrone have reached their ceiling with that group of players.

[Armagh18]

O'Brien sounds pretty confident that he will get off one of the black cards anyway. Unsurprisingly.

Deservedly. Daftest rule ever created.

Deegan won't be holidaying in Tyrone this year.

I hate Tyrone with a passion.
But even I have to admit Deegan is absolutely biased.
Dreadful, simply dreadful.

At what point can you question if the ref is simply against you. Repeat of 2015 all over again

[omaghjoe]

Bitterly disappointed we really had kerry were we wanted And should have seen it out.
Deegan was held bent on making this about himself and the dream final, a complete disgrace.
In saying that the wides early on in the 2nd half lost it and the give away for the goal.
Rte rubbing salt in the wounds by giving the black card hero man of the match

Don't forget the stray pass which ended up a goal for Kerry

Reading an issue in armagh too?

Kerry deserving winners and I thought it was a better game than most others here seem to have viewed it. Deegan gave Kerry a few soft frees but don't think you could argue he was the difference at all. Kerry took over in the second half and won because Tyrone's system is not good enough against the tope teams if they play it right. I was surprised Kerry were so poor in the first half and carried so much down the middle, that's the last thing you do, especially with isolated carriers. They showed more patience and picked the holes in the second half.


Hard to know how Kerry will do in the final. Their defence will hardly hold up against the Dubs.

Tyrone lost by 3 points. Kerry got at least 3 non frees, mcshane didn't get a clear free at the other which resulted in kerry goal. Def ref impacted the came. Key had 2 non frees given in first 5 min of 2nd half even commentators questioned them

Don't know what you were watching but the goal came from a shite handpass. The ref did ride yas but can't blame him there.

From the same player. The amount of scores Tyrone concede from K McGearys wayward passing is unbelievable. Too many basic errors from Tyrone again and this management are not able to fix it.

Neither was mine... genuine question???

I thought Deegan fucked us badly in 2015 but that just takes the biscuit.

An absolute and utter disgrace.

Deegan single handedly brought Kerry back into that game with a string of ridiculous frees but I think you have to look at the mentality of the team out there, in the face of adversity too many times we have collapsed. And even with Deegan dragging Kerry back into it we have to look at our own role in matters.

After your absolute disgust at Mannion in the Leinster final I thought you would have been in here giving off about R adonnelly? Maybe I missed it

[yellowcard]

Will Mickey Harte resign now, I don't see what else he can do with this team?

Donnelly was up fairly quickly on his knees.

Mannion lay down for 2 minutes trying to get his opponent sent off.

Must be Northern teams because he rode us too vs Mayo.

Hahaha. Completely missed that

 McStay "I thought he was on the edge of an overcarry" about Geaney before he delivered the pass for the goal.
