Tyrone v Kerry - All-Ireland SF 2021

[Lar Naparka]

Be interesting to see the intensity these Covid players, that play, bring to the game and how long they can keep it up.

Friend of mine was saying a girl mid thirties she works with, who plays GAA and netball had caught Covid and the only way she can breath is standing up, she says it's like drowning, was anti vaccine.

Hopefully the team doctors/coach  put these lads through a rigorous fitness test to see if they are able to last a game. Player welfare should be top of their agenda

That, I'm afraid, is the problem and I don't think Tyrone have a hope iin hell of winning or even coming close.
Nothing personal here but I did have the virus and I know how much it can take out of anyone unfortunate to be caught by the little bastard.
The actual infection was unpleasant but the recovery period lasted weeks.I spent Easter weekend of last year in hospital. I was there only three days but, even to this day, I wouldnt say I have 100% recovered.
Even if they got a month's postponement I could see a Covid victim being fit enough to play any football never mind an AI semi.

My biggest fear for Tyrone is that the result could get very nasty. We know what that Kerry forward line are capable of doing if given time and space and if the lingering effects of Covid are still being felt by some players then this could quite easily be a double digit defeat.

Yeah it's a strange one. Then you hear of people getting it and being totally fine or at worst feel as though they've had a cold. Genuinely hope all the Tyrone players affected or as many as possible are back to full fitness by the time the game is played.

Most important match up is who is on the older Clifford, he the guy making the big difference this year. Tyrone Midfield will suit Kerry, 4 big lads contesting balls, not taking advae that Moran has slowed down mobility wise.

I'd say Keegan or Oisin Mullin if he's back.

Sorry couldn't resist. Probably McKernan from Tyrone will get that job?

[Corkscrew]

So, who's marking David Clifford, the other Clifford and Sean O'Shea?

I'd go hampsey, Meyler, Mcnamee...

I'd say Meyler will pick up O'Shea, Hampsey on Clifford and McNamee or possibly Mckernan on the other one. I actually think we have got decent match ups for these lads.

Who is going to pick up McCurry, McShane, Donnelly and Canavan?

Never mind McShane or McCurry.

Whos going to track Morgan?

Gavin White will put him back in his box.

Never mind McShane or McCurry.

Did anyone keep track on how many scores he gifted to Kerry in the last meeting?

Exactly. If tyrone try this tactic again then it will end in tears. Kerry have shown the intelligence to lob him previously.

[BennyHarp]

Who are the main man markers for kerry in defence? Back in the noughties they had Thomas and Mark o'Se, McCarthy, Moynihan, o'Mahony etc who were all big game players who would have been feared by opposition forwards. I've heard a lot of talk about Kerry's front men but has their defence been tested at all yet, bar the opening few mins v Cork?

Fair point, however, would be hoping that these younger lads (no offence) will be a little more resilient where this cursed affliction's concerned, and not subject to quite as much of the not inconsiderable after-effects.

Haven't been down in Dublin since the start of Covid. Any good options for hotels with a decent bar to save heading out anywhere else after the match. Normally do Skylon but don't mind if it's close to CP or city centre. Advice welcome?

Yeah used to go there. But I'm kind of thinking how to keep things simple given current circumstances. Don't really want to get into booking tables in pubs or doing the usual pub crawls etc. Be good to just go back to bar in the hotel afterwards.
Do you have to book tables for pubs in Dublin at the minute or what's current regulations?
