Good but not a patch on Sidney imo

Listening to off the Ball on Monday evening and Dara o cinneide said that Kerry fans at the moment were pleased with the result on Sunday. He said it was the first time in ages Kerry had come out the right side of a close game in years. We usually lose these sorta classics he said. When is the last time Kerry won a tight match like that? Dublin 2007?

Kerry have lost two games by a single point since the Qualifiers began. The All-Ireland final of 2011, and the All-Ireland of 2002, against Dublin and Armagh respectively.

Donegal beat them by 2 in 2012, and Cork and Tyrone by 3 in 2002 and 2008 respectively. Bigger margins then in their other losses, chiefly to Cork in Munster as it happens. Almost as if they weren't really trying.

Kerry have won four games by one point since the qualifiers began. Against Westmeath in 2012, Cork in Munster in 2010, Sligo in 2009 and Monaghan in 2007.

They've won three games by two points - against Cork last year and in 2007, and also against Dublin in 2007. The numbers go right up after that, as you'd expect. For the statistically inclined, Kerry's median margin of victory is 7, with an average of 8.25.

So, it's not strictly true to say that Kerry usually lose tight matches. Kerry usually win tight matches, just like they usually win any other type of match, tight or loose, big or small.

BUT NOT THIS SATURDAY, BY GOD!

Any word on Keegan?

[Syferus]

He's still kicking himself.

[blanketattack]

Kerry have named the same team.

Tickets available for all parts of the ground. Might be less traffic jams than people are predicting. You'd think there'd never been a game in limerick before judging by the reactions. Go early make the day out of it and enjoy your county being on the verge of an all Ireland final. For years fans in the south of Kerry have had to travel longer to games than rest of country.

A couple of twits (is that the right term) saying Keegan free to play.

Nothing on the news yet. Anyone heard?

Happens for every match. They don't release some of the tickets because they get returns from counties. They won't last very long. I upgraded from the terrace to a seat on the open stand anyways.

Maybe that explains why they didn't travel - unless it was a final.

BREAKING: Lee Keegan of @MayoGAA cleared to play v Kerry on Saturday according to official @MayoGAA account. #mayogaa

[muppet]

Right, the whinging worked a treat.

Now to ransack The Kingdom.

[macdanger2]

Delighted he'll play but on what grounds was it overturned?? Seems like the decision was technically correct even if it was unreal harsh.

[ballinaman]

I think they couldn't handle another one of Sidney's stories so just decided to let him off..

[Jinxy]

Coldrick hung out to dry.
Who'd be a ref.
