I thought Tyrone started both halfs really well and had Kerry in bother, in particular at the kickouts. They actually created lots of chances but their conversion rate and decision making was not at the level needed to beat Kerry who took over when they hit their purple patch. Also I thought their best player was the keeper and it could have been an awful hiding only for him.

Would be the story of Tyrone this year, play in fits and starts. Was Morgan a bit iffy of the tee or am I wrong? A lot of unforced errors through the year as well. Individual mistakes.

Tight shift for Hampsey who to be fair hasn't played a pile of football in the last year

The Queen set at Live Aid is something else.

I always say if there was one live show I could have experienced but didn't it's Queen at live aid. The film makes a great reconstruction of it.

That transition from Bohemian Rhapsody to Radio Gaga brings a smile to my face every time! What a front man!

It's mandatory for RTE to have Kerry pundits on every show? Kerry man Fitzmaurice commentator in today game too.

It is mandatory.

I think this is the best description of the bonfires you will find 

Trying to explain loyalist "bonfires" in the north of Ireland to an American

[The ref wasn't the winning or losing of the game]

Don't know if it was mentioned in here or not but a pivotal point in the match is when Tyrone scored a 2 pointer and Kerry Joe brought it back for a free. Would have stopped the rot and gave Tyrone a platform.

Also Teagues performance on Ose considering his performance against Armagh was outstanding.

I thought Kerry were getting their frees handier than Tyrone in certain periods but it wasn't game changing.

The point you mention, however, was just unfortunate for Tyrone rather than a referee error. He played advantage then there was another foul. He blew for the free at that point. After that the 2 pointer was kicked.
He can't change his mind after he has blown for the free, be it common sense or not.

The ref wasn't the winning or losing of the game, I think, though momentum is everything (like Tyrone's many poor wides, deflating them and giving Kerry confidence).

It There were a number of clear frees that he just didn't give on both sides. I couldn't understand how Kennedy could catch a ball, be seemingly taken out in the air and get neither a mark or a free.

I also felt like there were a lot of frees given to Kerry where there was no obvious contact made.

When Tyrone lose the ref is always complicit

Diarmuid McNulty needs to be involved in the senior set up. All very clueless and weak today. Very slow build up is never going to suit the forwards we have. Very slow also to change anything.

It's mental that everyone has a solution after we lose.
Jerome it's fairly obvious that you are involved in the u20s set up, your sniping has been incredibly ungracious.
Have we progressed.     
Absolutely.
That's all you can hope for
