Kerry v Throne AIQF - Saturday July 1st

[trueblue1234]

Could Tyrone field? That's all I'm asking. They put the ball back to crokes court and they made the call.

Kerry's prep isn't what I'm talking about. There are numerous incidents every year were a team is unable to field its best team. But games go on regardless

They said they didn't have 15 fit players, so no they couldn't field without bringing in from outside the panel.

So they had players to call on? That's all I'm saying, you've cleared that up

Tyron pulled out. The GAA and Kerry got together to create the delay and leave them no excuseTyrone then had to play the game and the rest is history.

It's like talking to a 4 year old.

Ah, so you disagree with someone and then run them down. And I'm the 4 year old!

Not to mention the extra week didn't weaken the Kerry team. Tyrone were just better on the day in 21. Would Kerry have gotten any satisfaction in a walk over given the circumstances. I doubt it. I think most Kerry people I spoke to were of the same view. Apart from a couple in the media, I don't think many had any qualms about it.

Don't know, I felt they believed they were going to walk over Tyrone.  On hindsight they would have been happy with Mayo in the final.
So many Kerry supporters deep down were actually glad it happened because O Connor left Kildare to return to Kerry and the rest is history.  They might not admit it though because it still suits to dismiss a sensational All Ireland win as a Covid win.  They are only having the craic though and got a nice bit of revenge last Saturday.  They may lose Paddy Tally in the long run though...

I don't understand the Kerry mentality here. How does playing a game 7 days later weaken your chances of playing your best game?

Unfortunately the mentality among some Kerry GAA people is that prominent defeats have to be demeaned in some way or other. Easy enough to pull up plenty examples involving just Tyrone. Spillane's puke football jibe in 2003 which was seized upon, the county chairman the following year with the nauseating comments about Kerry saving football, the narrative pushed by some throughout that decade that it was a system or fitness that saw Tyrone win and that Kerry were the better footballers. And Covid in 2021, surely the strangest one yet given an extra week shouldn't have affected Kerry and Tyrone were still weakened. Kerry bounced back to win All Irelands on these occasions but that wasn't enough for some, they still had to try and talk down and cheapen the defeats suffered previously. Not a good look. But still a better one than using a global pandemic in which millions died for the cheapest of laughs.

There were Kerry folk in this era who stood above this - I remember Ger O'Keefe for example speaking with such class in 2005. Others in the county would do well to follow his example.

But the attempts  to demean Tyrone success and Ulster football were not , are not confined to Kerry .

You lads complaining about a game 2yrs ago to overlook getting beat out of the field last week.

The bags of spuds are firmly back on the shoulders alright

Not overlooking anything, Kerry were excellent and deservedly hammered a listless Tyrone. Indeed, the margin of defeat flattered Tyrone - it could have been worse. But that wasn't the point being discussed in the last few posts

Jesus christ this thread needs put to bed.  Fed up looking at it
