Seeing as gaelic football seems to be morphing into an ultra defensive gig the game plan of which is now the same as other games like basketball in particular. How about introducing a 2 or a 3 pointer line out the field? It would reward long range point shooting and possibly reduce the emphasis on defence.

I think whoever adapts to the conditions best will come out on top. The croke park sod gets very slippery when it's wet and the current forecast for Sunday is for plenty of rain. We just need a sh1ty goal or two!

Not that it really matters...Cavan in the prelim round again in ulster... Teams should be exempted the following year after being in the prelim round.

Kerry can have no complaints they threw it away in the second half. It's amazing how much possession was lost by kicking the ball away to their opponents coming out of defence.

I want an Offaly hat.

Amazing. Clumsy tackle from the bomber leads to a free. Tapped forward and the Fullback lobs it into the square to the to Seamus Darby. He in turns blasts it under the crossbar.

Kerry 2 up. 3 minutes left.

Ohare thinks there is a goal left in this one. .... Kerry 3 up.

17 13 to Kerry... Looks over to me. 5 minutes left.

Seamus Darby on... Too little to late?? Kerry 3 up 6 minutes left.

Sean Walsh point - 4 up.. Ohare "the insurance point"

Kerry up by 3... 10 minutes left.

13 12 to Kerry ... Another very poor wide from Paudie o shea.  They kicked this away.

Martin furlongs penalty save ... A forgotten hero!
Level 12 each.

Offaly 11 Kerry 11. Looks like this will go the distance. Spillane on a half time. One point early on but a very greedy kick from far out minutes later.
