Dublin v Kerry all ireland SF

[ONeill]

i fancy Kerry solely on the basis that they can score alot of goals against use, wouldnt be suprised if be let in 3 goals!

I see you boys are getting the hang of the cute hoorism . I did not see the Derry match so I wont comment until I see it . Both full back lines look shakey . Still by the time the media hype it up we will all be in a state

Jaysus they'll be wheeling them all out...and getting poor Paddy Cullen to do a reconstruction of the Sheehy chip.

Kiss of Death Time...I fancy the Dubs for this one!!  Key factors: 

Monaghan roughed up Kerry and they didn't like it...do the Dubs have the players to do the same and still be able to play football and take scores??

As well as being a string of bat's piss and having a mouth the size of Cork, Donaghy is looking more and more like a one season wonder.  I'm sure the video of the Monaghan game makes interesting viewing for Pillar.

Galvin will probably get himself sent off.

The ref??  With no Ulster teams to give him a natural bias will he let Kerry away with the high tackles that Coldrick did on Sunday.  Will he let forwards foul all day yet yellow card the first person to ladder Cooper's tights??  How strictly will he interpret the new rule that states "if the player in possession is surrounded by more than two opposing players you must give him the free even if they are tackling him legally or even not touching him at all.  If he falls to ground you must also award a free".

Do the Dubs have the bottle??

Did anyone get the impression Kerry did what they needed to do and no more and had much more in the tank?

Even ten or so minutes to go with Monaghan 3 up, I was 100% certain Kerry would win the game, seemed like just a matter of time to me.
If they step it up to the level they are capable of, the will beat Dublin.
Nowt to do with Dublin bottling, Kerry are the most talented side in the country, if they are at their best, nobody can beat them.
I just hope they arent and maybe we can squeeze a lucky win with the help of the referee 
Unlikely though.

My feeling on the Kerry v. Monaghan game was that Monaghan are a really good team and the 6 week break meant Kerry were just not at 100%. Kerry had to circle the wagons and dig deep to squeeze through but I feel the game will have brought them on a bomb. I especially think the pace of the Monaghan forwards is good prep for the Dublin forwards who are probably even quicker. I'd expect Kerry to at the very least get an even break in midfield (Would think Griffin should come in for Scanlon) and the winning/losing of the game will be the Kerry ff line v. Dubs fb line. I think Kerry can skin them and that's why I'd go for them to win. HHNB is right - Kerry at 100% are the best around and if they are close to that they will win. I suppose I want Kerry to win (no offence to Dubs - wouldn't begrudge it to most of the Dubs on here or most of the players)  so maybe that's clouding the judgement a wee bit but we'll see. Should be a great game anyhow.

He's out injured.

Do you not think the Dublin forwards could skin the Kerry defence??? Remember Monaghan scored 1-12 and could have had 3/4 more goals as well as kicking some poor wides etc.....and Dublin scored 18 points against a Derry defence that is probably stronger than Kerrys???

   Ahem.......  Mikey i don't think its just the Dubs and the "nordies" that
  want to see Kerry get their shite home with them in a bag

Speak for yourself..I'll be a Kerry man for the day when they play Dublin

now now dfs, we havent a hope, kerry will walk all over us, but sher we'll turn up on the day and give it a rattle.

I think something that has gone unnoticed after Dublin's last game is that  Dublin only had 8/9 wides  which is a lot better than the 18 they where averaging before

But what did derry score against dublin 15 points and it could have been a draw if it wasn't for the great block by cahill at the end, the Dublin full back line is going to be severly tested in the semi againt kerry and they can't afford to give that kerry fullforward line the room they gave the derry fowards in the 1st ten miuntes or they will be under pressure, any team with tomas and marc o'shea and aidan o' mahony won't be skinned (imho) hopefully it will be a great game and live up to all the hype

Jaysus touch wood gnevin!!!
