QuoteThats your interpretation of it.

No, that's what happened. Lard-ass runs over to the players tunnel and starts mouthing at the Tyrone personnel, blocking their way and gets knocked over as a result. No interpretation required as it's plain to watch on the telly.

Pat O'Shea's last game at the helm of the Kingdom (with the announcement of his departure from the Kerry hot-seat), so number four for Mickey Harte

Did pieces like Owen Mc Crohan's in The Kerryman lead to this, or was it on the cards anyway?

I believe even if Kerry had won he may have stepped down .Thanks Pat 3-13 to 1-09 will never be forgotten .Pat is a gentleman and will be missed

Good luck to him, he carried it well.

Who's in the frame to replace him John?

Very hard to know .With the last 2 replacements I knew in advance this time there seems to be no clear candidate . Its a hard act to follow but I think alot of Kerry people understand that the present team may entering a period of transition . I hope who ever gets the job gets some time

I was wondering recently - if Tyrone were to meet Kerry tomorrow, Kerry'd still be favourites in the bookies. I wonder when that ceases to be so.

d/k O'Neill. Only if the bookies blindly follow the pigsh!t thick sports journos. I'd say they've realised now that Mickey Harte is the safest bet in Ireland and have had enuff of Tyrone ppl cleaning them out

If Kerry beat Tyrone, sure that's the natural order, and they'll do it again (naturally) next game.
If Tyrone beat Kerry, then that's an unexpected aberration, but sure the natural order will be restored at next time of asking, and Kerry will win again.

Thrice they've denied us this Millenium, and thrice they've been cleaned out (in certain quarters, and regally so). Long may it continue!

PS And Fianna Fáil(ures) can deliver a budget like yesterday's and still be shoo-ins to form the next government (according to the bookies)!

So you lads will be betting the house on Tyrone winning next year so ?

It's a long way from the first round in Ulster to the AIF Mike with many's a slip in store. If Tyrone meet Kerry at any point tho, yes I'll be putting a fairly hefty lump on it 'cos unless Kerry re-invent their game in the meantime, the result will be the same as the last 3.

Quite a lot of neutrals who in fairness to them know quite a bit about football were convinced Kerry had re-invented their game to beat Tyrone this year
They were sure with two large men in the FF line and good fast high ball would counter act the Tyrone defensive system

They said that we've no forwards any more and we'll not beat Kerry without Canavan, O'Neill, half fit McGuigan & a Midfielder put into a square hole as a patched up forward line.

I must say I was surprised myself how much our forwards scored from play this year
Does anyone have the stats?

It's precisely this arrogance from Tyronies that would never allow me to support them in any way shape or form whatsoever.

oh my god how will we get on with out ye

Has nobody in Tyrone heard of winning with a bit of grace and decency.
This shite of 'seeing off another Kerry manager' and crowing about how every Tyrone player should have won an All-Ireland is pathetic.
The worst winners I've seen in a long time, and I'm beginning to hope it's a long time before ye get another chance to shout about yourselves.

Round of applause for that man!
