Dublin v Kerry all ireland SF

[Gnevin]

Sure we all know Marky doesn't try in the league you can add at least other 0-4 to his score

[Frank Casey]

Both teams to be down to 14 men a minute into the game: Dara Ó'Sé & Ciarán Whelan tangle at the throw-in and both are given the line! 

An Bannon would be just the ref to do it!

Indeed Frank, call me psychic if you like 

Well I wouldn't like to call you names but I do have a worry about the ref trying to "impose his authority" on the game in the first five minutes and I've had the dubious pleasure of Bannon at this before. I think that the game will open like a whirling dervish - it won't be malicious but it will be frantic. Just a poser which team would suffer more - Kerry minus D O'Shea or Dublin minus C Whelan. IMO Kerry D O'Shea is much more than just a midfielder.

[Kerry Mike]

And we had no Darragh or Donaghy and we still kicked your blue Jackeen arse around Donnycarney with only a half fit team. But it matters little, all thats counts is the 70 mins on Sunday

I think Ó'Sé would be the greater loss, and substantially so. You're right, he's much more than a straight midfielder -- he's the heartbeat of Kerry, the master orchestrator, and I suppose it must be of some concern that he's now on the other side of his playing days apex. Whelan is not quite as critical for Dublin.

Yeah, Bannon must be a bit of a concern all right, though I hope sense prevails and especially in the first few,potentially incendiary, minutes.

I am now engaging in an act of heresy. Kerry after O'Shea. It may well be next year or the year after. We did win it a couple of years ago without Dara and with Moynihan on the bench but the day is coming that he hangs up his boots.

One of the finest to wear the green and gold or indeed any jersey. Personally I loved his ability to fetch a free in on the goal line. Manys the time he saved our tail.

[Kerry Mike]

Just wondering is there now a toss for the warm up ends or have Dublin gained some devine right to prance about in front of the hill even though it is not their home ground, would be interesting if the Kingdom took up residence in front of Hill 16 for their physical warm up. Would the prancers still stick the collective Blue chest out and stroll to their flock of Jackeens on the hill or would Pillar repeat his shoulder charge on an opposing manager like last years Semi.

I prefer to see my team warm up in the canel end, its the harder goal to score in and if you win the toss play in that direction in the first half too

Might be an omen KM - it worked for Mayo last year.

Couldn't disagree with that, no exaggeration for me to say that I never seen better than that man and some of his displays (though not always accompanied by a feeling of anything approaching pleasure at the experience  ).

Got my tickets for sunday tonight.Top deck of Hogan near enough centre of pitch

[we are blue... etc]

Lower Cusack for me. Think I might have to leave after the minor match though. 

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Would it be a case of Dublin (support) for Derry (not Laois) and Kerry for Laois (Micko, and not the nasty Ulster boys  )?

You'll be overlooking the media lads. Don't be peeking down young O'Muircheartaigh's blouse.

[Fuzzman]

Anyone got any tickets or have any idea how much they'll be on the streets on Sunday

Now don't forget your in their to support the Laois minors and will need to be in at 1. Your not their  just to cheer against the Dub's 

[Fuzzman]

Yeah but for Dublin games they are always very scarce
How much would the touts be looking for I wonder?

Is it better to look in the pubs like the Big tree or out near the ground?
