Rumours of our demise have, quite possibly, been greatly exaggerated

Mud wrestling reprieve in Dork.

Yeah, yeah, whatever -- 'tis called winning, you know.

Kerry no 2 battered McShane when he came on too.

Jason Foley done nothing wrong.  He was just laying down a marker getting into McShane head. Didnt resort to the thuggery which Clifford was subjected to.

The epitome of sanctimony, right there!

You're neither, neither the soi-disant Greatest, nor an Aristocrat, merely indulging your insatiable appetite for attention.

So at the back of it all, Kerry did no better than ourselves in the '18 Final -- that they couldn't do it first day out against a badly off colour Dubs tells its own story.

Well done Dublin, a truly remarkable achievement.

Up yours Deegan!

Eh, they took it to a replay. That’s a lot better than you done

I knew that would sail blithely over the head of some.. A draw is INCONCLUSIVE -- what did Kerry win by drawing? In the conclusive game, they lost by the same margin we did, an indisputable fact.

I know it hurts you lot badly that we still make the final, but do you really have to make it so obvious?

MDMA is absolutely worth his place -- reminds me of Enda Mc Ginley for ourselves, nothing exceptional but critically crucial for the basic things in the middle of the park, and without which any team struggles.

No arguments with Cooper's red card. Kerry no 4 should have gone in the 2nd half though for a 2nd yellow/black card.

Kerry got all the breaks today, 1 point up in injury time, man up with the ball and yet still relying on Rock missing a free for a draw.

Any Mayo moron comparing Rock's free at the end to either of COC misses is an idiot. Last minute free against the breeze right on the sideline after working as part of 2 man FF line in 2nd half due to red card. Odds well against him kicking it.

Dubs to win the replay by at least 4 points. Clifford is carrying an injury for Kerry. Clearly not right and was done physically well before final whistle today.

Cooper was a total liability today, right from the throw-in -- the first real sign perhaps, of the wheels coming off this awesome Dub machine.

Agree though, that with 15 (non-liabilities) on the park, Dublin should prevail in the replay. Fair dues to Kerry, they put in one mighty shift today, but will fall short, ultimately.

Nobody on this board should have to put up with the juvenile abuse as dished out by those two, in particular.

I’m neutral, and would agree with some of the constructive criticism of Mickey Harte but to say he was lucky with a group of players doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Whereas he’s not everybody’s cup of tea, he obviously sets standards and gets a response from players . He’s been successful with Tyrone minor’s u21s and seniors and with his club. Tyrone had real talent in the early 90s winning u21s but couldn’t convert it to senior success until Harte took the reins. He managed to get great people around him that were crucial to success. He has maintained Tyrone at the top table throughout his tenure, but regardless of all that , he is likely to be victim of “same voice syndrome “ having being involved with Tyrone teams over 20 years, and throughout that time naturally would have made a few enemies. He’ll keep Tyrone at the top table but is he the best man to find the extra 10% required for Tyrone to win Sam again? only time will tell.

That's a fair piece of analysis I'd say.

I watched the match, I haven’t watched it back, but I can’t remember a point where I thought this ref is taking the piss..

What I did noticed was Tyrone failed to pull away when they had their dominance. Kerry made the right changes and Mickey didn’t act on them.

Best team won, they generally do without needing assistance from the ref. Close this thread, it’s embarrassing to be honest

And very glad I was never refereed by your good self sir, if you think that Deegan's display that day is beyond reproach, seriously. Or maybe you think that wildly erratic application of the rules is just fine? 

Were they as wildly erratic as they Tyrone display in the second half?

When a team crumbles it's easy to blame the referee.

So this nonsense, right under the ref's nose, is just fine and dandy, is it?
