Tyrone v Kerry All Ireland Final 2008

[nrico2006]

Overall, Kerry are stronger in terms of personnel. But mentally and physically they are a tired team. Which might just about even it up. This one has the feel of a cliffhanger about it. With two weeks to go, it is much too early to call. But it will be a fast, fascinating and probably tempestuous affair.

Well, as the journalists like to say, Kerry are stronger in personnel.  Tyrone might as well not turn up as the result is a forgone conclusion!

theres one by a Country and Western Girl Group called Rodeo 21

I think some of the girls in this group are WAGS of the tyrone players


Oh FFS get me a bucket   

the girls are making the most of an opportunity.... u should be supporting them!

Yep, don't quite know where's he's coming from with that one, given that our lads have more AI medals, be that at Minor, U21 or Senior. But then, he probably said the same in '03 & '05, without the "tired" piece.

No Fear they are much better technically than us 

Seriously we'll do well to contain them especially now that everyone in the panel has been instructed by Harte to be clean shaven as he thinks its distracting them from their duties

I'd be happy with a 5 point defeat and at least that way we can still say we were the 2nd best team in the Noughties


I hope Star doesn't score a goal into the Hill 16 end cos he's likely to get split with an Armagh fan wearing a Tyrone jersey

Very good

Well just got a chance to actually post on the board . Lots of different threads which I must have a read on . Very little seems to be leaking out from either camp . With regards the match my thoughts at this stage is 
how will both teams line out .Will O Neill and Hughes figure for Tyrone ? What will be the match ups versus the Kerry forwards ?. With regards Kerry who will they pick in the half forward line I would be very surprised if Paul Galvin starts (despite Mikey Sheehy`s advice ) .

The more I watch football this year the worse I am getting at predicting lineouts and who will win .Having the watched the semi finals on Setanta Tyrone look the better side in terms of taking scores and controlling the match while Kerry had some really poor patches particularly when the half forward line went missing in the second half .Kerry also seemed to slow down the play with far too much soloing and messing about in the middle of the park .

I think Tyrone will name the same starting line-out with the Penrose/McGuigan and Holmes/Hughes/Mellon positions a possible talking point.

Has Mellon featured much this year ? He had a good game in 2005

You honestly think Penrose might start ahead of Tommy McGuigan O'Neill? What's your thinking there?

I think Holmes deserves the nod if fully fit but could see either of the other 2 taking his place.  Enda the only sure started in MF.

I,d start with Mellon. Will run all day especially at the start of the game. Lets face it we dont have a midfielder thats going to out field the Kerry midfield. Workrate and running is going to win this game for Tyrone. O'Sea will not keep up with McGinley and Mellon but would with Holmes. Dont give them anything.

Tyrone ABU

Very disappointed - I thought the song would have the meaning "Tyrone - Anyone But You".
