If only they could handpass it all the way into the net again like Spillane used to do when he wasn't busy defending.

Kingdom give rival finalists a real kicking in handpass stakes

Did this muppet take into account the fact that there was a gale force wind for the Munster Final making accurate kick passing far more difficult than normal?

And that shoes/boots are still a luxury item in Munster.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Sure they are only ripping off Antrim.

As quoted by O'Neill from the Kerryman.

"We were Croke Park specialists and they were making their first appearance in All Ireland semifinal. They tried to walk the ball into the net and even when going for points they tried to get close in. So we decided that the only way to stop them was for each man to tackle the forward for whom the pass was intended.

"Of course we did not stand on ceremony, but I must emphaise that at no time did we indulge in reprehensible tactics. Our play completely disrupted Antrim's basketball type of forward play. You must play hard to win an All-Ireland and Antrim failed to change their style despite the fact that we mastered their short passing. We played it hard but we played it fair.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

39% more handpasses than Limerick, who I believe were playing on the same pitch.

What I would like to see is the number of hand-passes that move the ball forward.

How many hand-passes were with the left hand in an easterly direction?
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Maybe that had something to do with the fact that Kerry changed their approach because of the wind and Limerick didn't??? Kerry handpassed it 41 times less against Cork in the Munster semi-final when the wind wasn't a factor.

There's always an excuse for Kerry.

Some people will stop at nothing just to put Kerry down!
