Quote from: weareros on July 12, 2025, 06:50:57 PMSecond half did not live up to the competitiveness of the 1st. Tyrone were in a good position at h/t with scoring end to come but went very flat. Deserved win for Kerry. Joe O'Connor has become such a powerhouse for Kerry. Built like a brick wall.

Very competitive first half alright but Kerry had several goal chances in it as well. They could have scored six of them today and you'd not have been surprised.

You're not wrong. You would think a better manager would have kept it closer with the quality Tyrone have.

Sean Cavanagh must be off to play at Wimbledon now.

It'll be 5 years next year since Tyrone won an All-Ireland and that is frankly too long. These gaps need to be closed with narrower regularity.

;D  ;D

😂. Tyrone were very flat for most of the game, completely outplayed. It'll be very disappointing for them after investing heavily in an outside manager. They did well on kick outs in fairness.

Few things tyrone got wrong. Keeping Hampsey on Clifford when writing on the wall in first 25 min. Starting mcelhom, his speed should have been kept for last 35 mins. Very late bringing petey on.

Big year for orouke next year to implement his system on this tyrone team

6 points to a Kerry team much further down the road. Maybe see where Tyrone where when O'Rourke took over. Very far from an All Ireland semi-final.. Went further than Armagh, Dublin, Mayo, Galway..
Poor today but overall improvement.

Quote from: David McKeown on July 12, 2025, 06:46:01 PMImpressive again from Kerry but I thought Tyrone were very poor and will be disappointed

Yes. They had the chances but looked listless in attack

Credit to Kerry the greater quality player shone through

Tyrone are average. For all the serious ££££ they're paying MOR, their year is
1) relegated from div1
2) lost ulster semi
3) 6 point hammering today.

Curtains for Morgan, harte, connelly,. Hampden, McGeary?

All well and good having 4ft tall forwards if rest of team is average.

I don't think they have as much quality as some think they have. They have some fantastic players but even in their starting team there are positions that are weak enough. I think an ai semi final is a good return for the current team.

For a team that has 4 in their history and put out of the championship to Roscommon last year not sure why you would think that.

Decent return for them getting to a semi final in mor first year.  Finding a big target man and a few two point kickers would help them no end.

Quote from: Captain Obvious on July 12, 2025, 06:50:28 PMFive wins for Kerry in the last six championship meetings now against Tyrone and today they eased past Tyrone in a similar fashion to the 2023 All Ireland Quarter final and could easily have been 12 point winning margin had Kerry was more ruthless today.

Half the journalists when Kerry meet Tyrone again in the 2027 1/4 final:
"Kerry up against their bogey team again"

No doubt such lazy analysis will be used.
