Time will tell us whether they're doing this because of the wind, or if they just haven't got the memo that "there's much more chances now, so you don't need to eat the bastard thing".

Mind you I thought from the tv camera angle that Derry's 9th point was clearly wide.
And Walsh had one waved wide that looked over at 14-11.
Saying all that though we didn't deserve to win

Toner had one for Derry that looked clearly over also so balanced out the murray one which was given.

Did Gearty get advantage from a mark there? Surely that isn't a new rule.

They are playing into a very strong wind, I wouldn't be paying too much heed to the possession stats

This game is mad. The more Dublin try to attack, the further they fall behind.
Kerry are defending inside the large D. Dublin would still be 3 - 1 behind if they just decided to keep possession after 10 mins

Also Eamon Fitzmaurice has become really annoying as a co commentator. Continually trying to justify all the new rules

They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

Half time Kerry 1-12 Dublin 0-4. Like Galway v Derry earlier will be get another game of two halves?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Really pisses me off, the plethora of rules cheerleaders employed as pundits. Absolutely in their interest to portray the rules as positively as possible.

Correct rule implemented. 6 x 2 pointers by Dublin in the first 15 mins of the 2nd half would make a game of it.
They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

Yea - not what he's there for surely. This has been going on from the Inter Pros. Tell us about the game in front of you Eamonn

Lads you have to remember for a huge chunk of the audience this will probably be the first game they've seen under the new rules.

Also is it not good that there is some positivity around the game rather than the commentators talking the game down all the time?

Dublin making use of the wind now. 0-9 to 1-13.
