Armagh v Kerry

[tyrone08]

Kerry are no angel's but that's the way they are portrayed in the media. I did think watching it that derry were the offenders the majority of the time. Dropping the knees into clifford, mcfaul couldnt walk past a kerry player withour pushing or mouthing at them et etc.

Armaghs reputation rightly or wrongly wouldnt be the best. They will need to keep their heads and avoid any early yellow cards

Yeah it wouldnt be the best and we obviously don't help ourselves with getting involved in the handbags shit from a few years ago and like Tyrone we'll not take a step back if that starts.

Kerry are every bit as bad though no matter what the media would tell you!

If you have a reputation as an early riser then you can stay in bed until noon. The last couple of years the Armagh discipline has been as good as everyone else, but people recall Kelly getting stuck into Galway or the rumble after the Tyrone game three years ago.

Absolutely. But not a word about the Kerry boys rowing with Louth!

Spot on

Tyrone and Armagh men in agreemwnt,

Strange, strange times

Kerry only broke away from a very poor Derry and over reliant on one player to get scores..

Is it a confidence thing or man for man Kerry have a better team?

Clifford was fairly held for most of that game, barring a great mark he wasn't great

Armagh have opened teams up plenty this year, just grow a set and go for it, this hanging in there to keep the score down is brutal to watch

Kerry overreliant on one player?
Kerry have had about 15 different scorers from play in the last 4 games with no one player scoring more than 10% of that total.

Sorry didn't word that properly.. Derry were/are clearly reliant on one player for most of their scores

I think if u rewatch the Game, the Kerry men were mouthing at the Derry players each mistake they made, 2/3 time a Kerry player was standing over a Derry man kn the ground roaring at him.

Both teams where at that, Rogers at 1 point celebrated winning a free around midfield where he was in no danger of losing the ball anyway but you'd have swore they'd just scored a goal.

McGuinness and Geezer be delighted to be reading plenty of this stuff the next couple of weeks.

I fear it's going to be difficult watch with the Kerry/Tally blanket in full operation and Armagh will be cautious in their play not to get caught in their traps.  Semi finals however are for winning and it's good that Armagh have finally reached the last four after missing out the last two years via the nonsense of penalty shootouts.

Cheering for Down or Laois? It would be like having a ballot paper with only the TUV and DUP on it.

[Armagh18]

I'd happily cheer Down if I thought we'd get the same back.

On second thoughts I'll maybe stay in the pub til nearer 5:30!

Tbf the down men are our neighbours so will give them a shout .

Listening to the various pundits talking about Kerry and its apparent the narrative is that Kerry want to play football but aren't allowed by the negative tactics of the opposition and that only Dublin and Kerry play open football .
It's a very simplistic interpretation and one that will take hold over the next 10/12 days
The referee in this match will be key.
gough or lane ?
Just pray it's not thin eejit who did the Ulster semi final against down.

It's easy to cheer on the neighbour when you know they aren't a threat.

Kerry are a dirty shower and have been this years. Sure Tomas O'Se is one of the main pundits talking about this and while he was a great footballer he was a dirty bollocks.

Theres no team angels and if you want to win anything you can't be taking a backwards step when it comes to getting physical/defending yourself. The great Dublin team knew the dark arts as well as anyone, they dragged and bear hugged the Mayo lads for the last kickout in the 2017? final. Absolutely no problem with that but it's the different narrative, if an Ulster team did it they'd be the villains while the Dubs and Kerry can do no wrong.
