Dublin v Kerry all ireland SF

[Hound]

But you havent got it in your hand yet. Just wondering if any tickets have been distributed around the country and if clubs outside Leinster/Munster receive an allocation???

AFAIK the story with Dublin is they usually receive the tickets on the Monday before the game, give them out to PP holders on the Tuesday, give the remainder to the clubs on the Wednesday and clubs usually give them out on the Thursday. So I guess other counties will get their allocation on the Monday also.

So which one's weren't frees? Can only think of 1 myself.

sorry, I include in that figure a couple of incorrect decisions that resulted in Dublin scores - either a free to dublin or a free that should have been given to Derry.
The count was 5-0 at ht. I certainly recall at least two 'soft' frees that I would have loved to have benefited from the like when I was a forward playing the game. Also the 45 was a free out - shoulder to shoulder is fine, but two hands to chest and push over the end line is a free out - irrespective of how often this seems to be allowed these days.

Derry got more soft frees close to goal than Dublin did (2-1). Dublin got a few soft frees out the field, but only one close to goal. The one Bradley hit wide was the worst close-in free decision the ref made. I thought the 45 was a shoulder to shoulder - in any event Dublin had a clear 45 earlier that wasnt given.

Dublin got more frees from scoreable positions, simply because Dublin defenders fouled less. They stood off their men more encouraging them to shoot from distance.  But by doing this they rarely or never let their opponets by them (McConnell only expcetion). Derry on the other hand were much closer, but allowed Dublin attackers get by them more, which resulted in more frees. Clear frees. Now quit your whining!

dont normally respond to you
but As Derry folk, we dont have to quit Winning - it doesnt happen too often.
completely disagree with your sentiments. I expect not to agree with you or similar views as I can only comment on what I saw which is/was my perspective.
the game is over and that it now, but I cannt believe some of what I hear. As days go by the reports on the game has changed it to now being one that Dublin dominated

Never saw any mention of Dublin dominating the game.

Perplexed by your first comment, as you certainly have, plenty of times, and I dont remember ever having a barney with you. But of course you're certainly entitled to ignore me if thats what you think of my posts.

Looks like we could be out shouted in the semi final
======================================================
Kingdom get 12,000 tickets for Dubs clash
Kerry secretary Eamon O'Sullivan is confident that the county's allocation of 12,000 tickets for Sunday week's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Dublin will go a long way towards satisfying the needs of fans.

However, he has urged supporters to make their requests immediately, as any extra allocation of tickets could go elsewhere.

"We're happy enough at the moment, we've about 12,000 tickets. If we want more we'll probably get them, but we need to know the extent of the demand," O'Sullivan said.

"There's no question of the Dubs wrapping up every single ticket. Kerry will do okay when it comes to tickets provided all of us do our part here at home and in time."

Traditionally, Kerry fans have travelled in small numbers to Croke Park for All-Ireland semi-finals, but it's expected that the county's support will be well up for the August 26 clash owing to the large number of Kerry people living in the capital and the fact that Dublin are the opposition.

Will Kerry need 12,000 or will the hoardes of animals "wait for the next one "

If kerry only asked for 12k why had the allocation to Dublin clubs been cut?

[Tankie]

Will any tickets go on sale through ticketmaster or will they be issued through clubs only. I wouldnt mind going to the game, but all those cheeky dubs will also be looking for tickets.

sorry the nordie bandwagan had to come to an end

When will the lineups be announced??

Hopefully Griffin, O'Sullivan & to a lesser extent Sheehan will start.

[orangeman]

Kerry will travel in force for this one cos it might be the end of the road this Sunday and this could be the last opportunity for Kerry folk to see them in the flesh this season !!

[Hound]

Dublin will name an unchanged team on Tuesday night.

Whether that team will actually start is another thing altogether. But in saying that I can't see any changes being made to the starting line-up, assuming no injuries have been picked up.

Sunday Game panelist predictions:

Joe Brolly - Kerry
Tony Davis - Kerry
Kevin McStay - Dublin
Dara O'Cinneide - Kerry
Colm O'Rourke - Kerry
Anthony Tohill - Dublin

[Goin Down]

Id go for Dublin in this, and for them to win the All Ireland. Whoever wins this game will win the All Ireland, doubt Cork will do anything to win it, either of these teams would beat Cork.

[Kerry Mike]

Kerry team just named, huge surprise in the lineup, cant believe they dropped him, but as Pillar may be reading this to get some hints for his own selection, yerra I will hould off on the breaking news for now.
