Kerry V Tyrone Fodder AISF 23rd August 2015

[Gold]

If it isn't a Kerry/Dublin Final i'll be very surprised.

[Wildweasel74]

Kerry not be afraid of them  if anything they be glad to get Tyrone, Tyrone 15 men behind the ball will stop a hammering but i fear for Tyrone in this one. O`Donoghue is a big player for Kerry an if hes out Tyrone well have a chance. Even if they break even around the middle Tommy Walsh and the big ginger haired lad will enter the fray here.

If you look back at Tyrone over the years they done a lot without Stephen O'Neill. With the Modern game it is a must that any of the 20 men used on the day of a match should be able to hit scores. The first class forward is not relied on any more.

You'd have won one all ireland at most without him.

You don't score goals easily. You will be struggling to  outpoint Kerry. They have more players capable of putting the ball over the bar then you do. If you want to beat them you'll need at least one goal and probably two.

Mc Curry and Mc Aliskey get 70% of their scores from frees. And that's due to the system you use with a lot of short passing. Mc Cann doesn't score much - centre forward the same. Kerry, Mayo and Dublin get plenty of scores from their half forwards.

That's why I don't think Tyrone will win.

I think you will find O Neill was not a regular starting 15 player in 03 or 08 came on as a sub in both.

Fancy Tyrone for this.  More impressive team ethic and all the more games they've plated should  stand to them.

[AhNowRef]

One thing's for certain, Tyrone are going to spring some surprises for the semi-final and perhaps they might even spring the biggest surprise of all and not spring any surprise.

Now that would be a surprise !!

I'll tell ye one thing about this Tyrone side - they'll be loving the backlash. Mickey Harte does the everyone hates us mentality better than anyone in the game.

No doubt about that at all. He'll be lapping this all up and telling the team how the whole of Ireland wants them beat (it won't be a lie either).

I just think they are a step below the top 3 (I think Donegal are gone now) and this will be a bridge too far. Should they get past Kerry who knows what would happen... I just hope it doesn't!

Bar Cork, surely ye'll give us Cork...?

Bit of an exaggeration there. Between them they have 0-24 from dead balls and 1-18 from play.

You also overlook the fact that Tyrone get a pile of scores from their runners, 2-21 has come from their defence and midfield (2-36 if you include Sean Cavanagh). They have guys from full back and half back like McNamee and McNabb that can pop up with a score.

I agree that they have it all to do against Kerry mind. Definite underdogs.

How likely is it that both McMahons will start for Tyrone?
There were both very dominant in the last Tyrone-Kerry game in Croke Park.
It seems to me that what a Kerry jersey does to the McMahons is what eating after midnight does to mogwai.

Looking forward to this one. Kerry looked pretty awsome the last day out a team full of house hold names. Tyrone are still a bit of an unknown quantity and I find it interesting that people make remarks like they are not as good as the previous team etc. There are a lot of similarities to the 03 side in that they had a few of the exceptional talents of the side from the 90's canavan, Dooher and cavlan mixed in with young hungry players who had known a lot of sucess at underage and Harte at the helm. I think Tyrone 2015 might just surprise a few people in AISF and Kerry may not just be as good as there facial win over Kildare made them out to be its easy to look outstanding against a team which had raised the white flag early on. It will be interesting to see just how good their half forward line and midfield are when they are under the pressure that Tyrone will subject them to. Kerry's fullback line is a little suspect to fast moving forwards.

There are no similarities to the 2003 team. Maybe 3 of this team would get on it. The Mahon's and Cavanagh

The same can be said for this Kerry team. Not too many of them would have got on the 2003 team.

What was Joe Mc Mahon taken off for on Saturday? Will he be fit for semi?

I read online that it was a groin injury and is a doubt for the semi as may need "medical intervention", whatever that means.

Really could do with him in the defence for this game!
