Kerry V Meath AI SF Semifinal 30th August 2009

[Logan]

Is it any wonder Spillane and the Kerry boys hate ulster football and the teams "style of play". When Kerry play a team from outside ulster the team shit themselves and lie down. Kerry won today playing none. Even at 6 points down in the 2nd half you'd have thought there was 20 points in it the way Meath gave up.

True

But that Meath team is hardly in the top 4 teams in Leinster on ability - I'd have Dublin, Kildare and possibly Wicklow above them

Ok 3rd best in Leinster

[magickingdom]

Confirms what I knew. Went to see Meath against Dublin in Leinster... woeful team and would have been tanked in final by Cork. Right enuff so will Kerry...

kerry never get the respect they deserve

yeah, even their fans don't bother travelling to their games

Is this part of a master strategy from O'Connor to lull cork into a false sense of maturity?

Goal - Murphy shows once again that he's not actually that good.

the master strategy? this is our 6 final in a row (equals dublin and wexfords record) do you think they dont know were a good team. all bull aside cork and kerry players know each other inside out, no one is going to bluff anyone.

Meath were horrible, yet Kerry still needed an extremely dodgy penalty to pip them. Awful quality for a semi final.

[stew]

Meath lay down today, the gave up early in the second half and the management team failed miserably to prepare their side for an AISF. This can only set Meath back and this game did little if anything to prepare Kerry for the powerhouse that is Cork.

I cant see kerry beating Cork, I think that Cork will banish the Croker demons when they play against kerry and I think they will run out comfortable winners.

I am putting 50 quid on an Armagh/Cork double on All Ireland Final day.

Kerry were never in trouble

That goal for Meath in the end hides how bad they were

What is a false sense of maturity? 

herself was giving out to me about my immaturity as i was typing - women eh, they've no respect for the serious work we do

Dunno about that. I think Meath's diabolical shooting hides how bad Kerry really were.

[INDIANA]

... and still score 2-07 on a terrible Meath team

I'll amazed if Meath finish with 15 men.

I won't


They're not the even cute enough to hit or start a row

Watching Reilly kicking Tommy Walsh and the ball I thought he would surely walk.

He actually kicked the ball out of his hand

No way - they couldn't even get enough chances

Kerry were the ones kicking into Keepers hands and kicking wides

stew, consider the following before you do that bet
1) do you think kerry left 3rd gear today?
2) kerry drew with cork a few weeks ago
3) and if i'm right the only game kerry lost all year was to cork.
4) whats in it for cork, they'd rather play anyone but kerry in the ai final


not saying its going to happen but cork are very beatable

[Mike Sheehy]

ahh, if there is one thing more satisfying than winning its reading all the bile from the bitter nordies as kerry cement their team of the decade status. 6 AI finals in a row while their pathetic rabble crash out once again.

what a wonderful week it has been

again its the same old story afs, kerry did only what they had to do. they never left 3 gear today because they didnt need too. kerry have been described as pathetic, crap and poor on this thread yet they are in their 6 all ireland final in a row. you dont do that by peaking every day. . no disrespect to meath their a young team but if that were cork or tyrone today you'd see as different kerry

I don't think you have a 5th gear. A resume of Kerry's season . they have beaten longford, antrim, sligo , dublin and meath. All poor sides.
Cork have beaten 3 time all-ireland champions Tyrone and Kerry.

This idea that Kerry are going to arrive on All-Ireland Final and produce a 5th gear performance simply at the click of the fingers is all media hype. Look a team on the wane to me. The only thing that came out of today is how bad the likes of Dublin and Meath truely are. Cork to win for me.
