Kerry v Throne AIQF - Saturday July 1st

Statement performance from the reigning champions. I can only see Dublin living with them for the seventy minutes.

Kerry excellent here but Tyrone awful. Game not lost today so much as over the past two years and the lack of direction in the team. It was always a massive ask to hope that a team who have been so patchy could suddenly step up to the extent required. Possible, but unlikely. Dooher and Logan did a fantastic job in 2021 to come in and take Mickey's model and add that little bit of freedom which put the team up a level. Unfortunately Tyrone have been a rudderless ship since and that has to go on the management. They more than earned their place in Tyrone GAA history but with the term up it's time for a change, the panel is capable of much more.

All the credit to Kerry on the day. Defence in particular was excellent and built the foundation for all the good stuff further up. There will be tougher tasks ahead but this level of performance will be extremely hard to beat.

Tyrone playing here like Down when they all kind of knew were on their way out.

Good.

Couldn't really understand how Tyrone were being talked about in this conversation ... they've a long way to go to get back!!

Kerry not taking Tyrone on in midfield is the winning of it and I don't know why Tyrone have been giving the ball up short all day MF is their strongest line.

It's a pity John Heslin missed that free. Westmeath might've made a game out of this.

No need for new rules.

Kerry was outstanding in defence today, it's that type of defending that won them the All Ireland last year and from a number of turnovers in defence they scored a lot of their scores from. FT Kerry 2-18 Tyrone 0-12.  Worst defeat and performance in the championship for Tyrone since the AI semi final in 2017 when they lost 2-17 to 0-11 to Dublin?

Lot of call to be red carding lads there.

As close to perfection as you're gonna see from Kerry today, everything going right for them. Will be huge favourites for semi

Did he give Clifford a straight red or yellow and then red?

second yellow. Thought ref was poor enough, luckily it didn't matter

[Ethan Tremblay]

Mentioned it before on another thread, no idea why so many pundits/fans were raving about such an inconsistent team, and picking them as dark horses.  Tyrone havnt been at the races all year.  Few old hands may move on, as well as management perhaps?

Kerry were brilliant all around the pitch, as easy they got their scores, their turnovers won the game. Should be hard to stop.

[Saffrongael]

That performance was probably coming from Tyrone, you can't perform like they have and expect to magically turn the tap on. In fairness the clued in Tyrone supporters on here (there are a few) seemed to know this may have been coming today

[J70]

Good interview with Clifford.

[Wildweasel74]

It was their own fans raving, nobody else.

Ref had no impact on this game as Tyrone were so poor, watching as a neutral there was nothing out of the ordinary either from his calls

[CK_Redhand]

Great to see the schadenfreude. Must be doing something right to have so many haters.

Disappointed in the discipline today. We'll reassess and be back next year.
