Early days, but it will be great to see this version of Kerry, their youth, their pace, movement, work rate etc go up against the Dubs.

We will see it in a few weeks.

Nuetral venue?

This referee is a tit

Clown. Whole thing was caused by the Kerry number 4. He books the wrong guys and then throws it up.

he was right to book Collins, came flying in carrying a couple of barrels under each arm

Edge of the seat stuff there. Some effort in the last 20 mins to keep the Aussie's at bay. Great to get the series win, well earned

Armagh got 8 of the 10 suspensions overturned

Looking forward to the game, will be like a cauldron in the midday sun. Hopefully the young Derry men can do the business.

Good man John, huge support for yourself and the Palestinian people in the North West. You are not 'claiming', by your actions, you 'are' supporting these people. You've the heart of a lion.
Some freestaters never cease to amaze me with their views on the North and northern folks solidarity for others.

A prime example of everything that is wrong with the internet. Both the way in which this fake story spread like wildfire and the nonchalant dismissal of the consequences by arseholes like MR  with his "I'm all right Jack" attitude as he gleefully spreads shit about someone he doesn't even know and dismisses the impact this could have on their life.

Whilst being a bleeding heart for some other cause celebre which shows him in a good light and makes him feel morally superior.

It's a real cancer in society at times. Had men in a WhatsApp group spreading the video and subsequent pictures to all and sundry with a line of 'it's the kids of this woman I feel sorry for'..and not seeing they are part of the fecking problem. Some folk are just immune to decency these days.

A pity GAA wouldn't take Dublin out of Croke Park more so supporters wouldn't have to travel so far to see their county get beat by this great team.. though the begrudgers would move to another excuse.

There wouldnt be any excuse if the flagship competition was played fairly with the same rules applying for everyone.If Dublin were playing kerry in their 3rd game with winner take all do you think kerry have a better chance in thurles or croker???

Dubs would beat them anywhere.

You're basing this on what exactly considering the winning margins (including 2 x own goals 1 year) is usually 1 point, all played at Dublins home? Did you read The Examiner article in the previous page?

Ahh, enter 'the bigger man'........What do you think the vast majority of of non-Dubs are begrudging exactly? Or is it a case of posters pointing out how unfair the current system is, yet Dubs will do cope carlies on the keyboard rather than admit that the championship is unfair, both to the competing teams and travelling supporters. And this is more than a great Dublin 'team'...check out the differences in starting linesup from 2011 and the current lineup...what we're dealing with here is much more than a 'great team'.

Absolutly! Go in and beat them as teams did for years till this great team came along. Excuses excuses...

So its fair that dublin get 2 home games and everyone else gets 1??

Playing Dublin in Castlebar hasn’t done much good for Mayo in recent years. If you’re not good enough you’re not good enough.

Think championship football is the topic here, not league football being played at the tail end of winter. Do they say home advantage is worth a couple of points? Dublin win the last couple by the bare minimum, imagine these games had been played in Castlebar or even Limerick, Cork or Thurles.....

With the introduction of the Super 8's, if Dublin / Mayo reached the final again:

              Home Games        Away Games
Dublin            4                          1
Mayo             1                          4

Has the 2018 Ulster championship not had far more airing than the other 3 provinces with live, deferred live and live on the iplayer games courtesy of the BBC? Not ideal but a damn site better than the current offerings from rte?

If u caught on video striking a player you hardly a leg to stand on! Punishment should be doubled for wasting peoples time!

They can only use official footage. So if they suspend players based on something that was videoed from the stand on some c***ts 3310 they very much have a leg to stand on.

Official video?? Any video footage can be used as long as its deemed reliable and unedited

To be used in the gaa hearings it has to be official footage which they have. the game was videod from start to finish. Phone footage I believe can not be used in the gaa hearings. I had learnt this from another incident recently.

They may want to revisit that incident.
