Half time Tyrone 1-8 Kerry 0-7

Tyrone good value for that lead. A good former defender and current manager in Tomás O Sé will have to improve Kerry defensively 2nd half to stand a chance of winning this final.

After 15 minutes Tyrone 1-4 Kerry 0-4. Lucky deflection on the goal but a good run through by the defender Joey Clarke. 2nd goal chance for Tyrone off the foot of the post now.

Some nonsense being talked by the usual suspects. I'm with Keyser on this one. We battled well considering the circumstances. We'll be fine come preliminary quarters onwards.

I'm sure before this championship started the objective for Derry was to match or better their last two championship campaigns which was All Ireland semi final. If it's a Preliminary quarter final and Derry win that it will be three games in three weeks and up against a rested table topper (probably Kerry,Dublin or Donegal)

You can flip that too. Kerry will play Louth and Meath. After yesterday's debacle not exactly tested pre 1/4's. They are a side I wouldn't fear whatsoever!

Scheduling advantage can't be underestimated. Last year I believe Tyrone would have given a much better amount of themselves against Kerry in the last 8 tie with at least two weeks to prepare.

You can't let a round go on another few seconds just to see what happens. If the bell goes the bell goes. It was strange scenario in fairness. Fury would have been better taking a knee then holding on for the final few seconds. Easier said than done of course as Fury was all over the show.

Have RTÉ ever looked in to adding a new channel, RTÉ Sport say?

There's no reason why they can't  show some things on the RTE news channel. Live matches  are shown there sometimes, and they could have a Seo Sport style preview show  there during the week as well

In the mornings, they regularly show live video footage of  Claire Byrne's RTE radio show . No reason why they couldn't have Des Cahill on Sunday sport there, or a final score  type show as well.

TSG tries to squeeze in  a lot of  highlights/punditry . A midweek show could fill in the gaps  and look at some things in more  detail

Boxer advancing forward all the time,is looked favourly  by judges, there were alot of even rounds,  but Fury was on the back foot all night. Ref should let the 9th go another few seconds. Fury been dropped or the ref would had stop the fight, didn't do either but given him a standing count. It was never a split decision though. I still though Uysk won by at least 2.

I think a lot of you lads are judging the overall fight on that 1 round in the 9th and then thinking Usyk should be winning comfortably. Looking at those scorecards they look fair enough imo. Fury had plenty of success in the middle rounds, Usyk done well at the start and end and then a few rounds hard enough to score.

Carl Frampton had it 6 rounds each and then with the knockdown Usyk wins 114-113. Though I agree with the above it Fury could/should have been stopped by the ref in the 9th. Seen fights stopped for less.

Exactly this. It was a close fight except for round 9.

SF are on the slide. They were the rebellious vote. But are no longer in that mould.

A rebel without a cause. And not even a rebel anymore!
