Tyrone 3-30 Kerry 1-13

Hate to say it but I see Kerry winning easily in the end at least 7 points.

Me thinks a draw with Kerry to win the replay.

Kerry should win this easily, far better players from midfield on and I think a beating  is in the works for tyrone.
Talked to a few from kerry lately that reckon they were delighted to get tyrone, but dissapointed a little the dubs done the usual dissapearing routine when the heat was turned up.

[Rossfan]

I too hate to say it but I fear a comfortable win for the Kutehoors - something like 2-14 to 1-9.

Tyrone 3-30 Kerry 1-13

I like that

[ONeill]

I honestly believe we'll beat them, possibly with some to spare if we play to our potential. The argument that Kerry have better footballers is nonsense. The majority of these Tyrone footballers have All-Ireland medals in every grade hanging out of their pockets. 2005, when head-to-head at full pelt, Tyrone won by 3 having tried to defend a 5-point lead. Donaghy and Walsh may be additions, as well as Young, but in McGuigan (T) and McMahon (Just) Tyrone have excellent additions as well. We're coming to the boil nicely.

oneill, i hope you are right. I cannot see tyrone troubling them though, kerry are rough and ready and still have the silk tofinish off a move, i am not sure tyrone have that in enough quantity this time, 2005 is ages ago,you know that.

[ONeill]

Kerry do not like playing Tyrone at this time of the year, esp when Tyrone are hounding, harrassing and playing the total football of 14 men running around after the ball in defence and attack! Now, there's always the chance Tyrone can have an off day. I didn't think Tyrone had the drive to reach the heights of 2005. Scoring 0-23 and 3-14 in your last 2 games at Croke Park indicates otherwise.

I think Kerry have tailored their game precisely for Tyrone. The 14 men can run all they want but the ball will be played fast and long. With Walsh and Donaghy under up fronty it doesn't even have to be good ball.

true, but what are they going to do after winning the ball - it's tough to get rid of it with 5 wee midgets harrying you.  The most worrying thing for Kerry is how they allowed a crap Cork team to get so close to them twice and beat them once, 4 times this year they've allowed sides to come back from 8/9 points down, lost twice, drew once and won once - they're not the team they were, without donaghy they'd be out by now, Walsh is certainly an addition, but overall there seems to be too many of them who've taken a few steps back from the past two years.
It could be a classic, and it just might be.

I have a very strong feeling that Kerry are going to kick at least 7 shades of shite out of Tyrone. Hope I'm wrong, I'd prefer to see Tyrone win but I just feel Kerry are going to completely overwhelm them

'Feeling'? That means nowt without reason.
