Not allowed tackle Cooper it seems. Joke decision.

for all criticism Tyrone get, when they put their head down and play the game they are terrific to watch. Its been a terrific game.

When they are behind they try and play. If they were winning by a point this wouldn't be the same game.

Terrible call the ball was already released

Least cynical out of the 2 in my opinion
Also they had a few clear cut goal chances

You're of course entitled to your opinion.
It's not one that would be shared by most here I'd guess

Kavanagh didn't contribute enough to the scoreboard and some very soft frees for Kerry.

It was a free for a foul on Geaney and Cooper was hit late also so in essence it was 2 frees!

Hadnt thought of that. Fair point

Mantis Toboggan

Must be atleast 4 minutes of injury time

Al_Coholic

you can't tackle a player like that regardless if the ball is released, clear foul and booking.

Another soft free and point for Kerry. Take a bow ref. Wasted a minute as well.

He was body checked with a terrible challenge.

Doesn't matter, Cooper was completely taken out

seanhynes

2 added mins it's a joke the gaa with added time there was about 2-3 wasted on coopers two fouls and then for the pen to be taken 3 minimum was right they never get added time correct

Say Your Number

Kerry responded excellently to that goal, a lot of other teams would panic

What was Morgan at

Slattsy

Well done Kerry, much prefer a team in the AI final, hopefully against Dublin

ShamoBuc

2 mins...joke

sligeach

How many points has Morgan cost Tyrone at both ends?

Dick Turnip

How are people here saying that last free wasn't a foul on Cooper?! He was taken out of it after the ball was gone.

Class score by Keane there

seanhynes

The winners next week could take Kerry apart on this showing, Kerry in a final another day tho but on today's showing they wouldn't have gotten away with it v either of next weeks

Since when is a forearm and elbow to the face a legitimate tackle?

Suck it

Can you point out the forearm and elbow to coopers face or is this just all talk from yourself?

Al_Coholic

Tyrone can have nobody else to blame but themselves,they should have had at least 3 goals.

Also kicked some horrendous wides from free kicks.

Now if Tyrone played like that all the time with no cynical play and free flowing attacking football they wouldnt have so many detractors.

Rock Lesnar

Tyrone got Tyroned by Kerry and they didnt like it.....How ironic is that

Dirty Dingus McGee

Pure idiocy from Morgan and Tyrone for that last free.

Has a football team ever kicked 3 points in 2 minutes of injury time and yet for some reason they thought that would be the best option rather than going for a goal.

Kerry again looked very dicey at the back.Tyrone's finishing was appalling at times and I'd say Dublin or Mayo won't make the same mistakes with finishing as Tyrone did today.

Mantis Toboggan

Given the weather conditions that was a great game of football

mfceiling

Tyrone cynical?

More like kerry tbh. Best of luck to you in the final. More experience on the field and on the bench.

Good to see a bit of pride in the tyrone jersey again. Hopefully we can build on this as a team.

And if there was 5-6 minutes added people would be saying the GAA is a joke always looking for a replay. Can't win

vetinari

No bottle from Tyrone there at the end.
Thought for a second they would give Kerry a fright at the end but they imploded.

He's not up to it at inter county level. An absolute liability.

Slattsy

Tyrone will rue those misses, best team today but you have to take your chances.

Ref happy for Kerry to get into the final anyway.

3 minimum was acceptable there ,it's 1 and 2 every damn time it's ridiculous ,it is never assessed properly in the GAA

Joe and his conspiracy theories- he's manna to a losing team

I hate to say it but Morgan cost Tyrone dear in that match. Should have put it over or floated it in at the end and there were a few short kick outs that gifted Kerry points. Kerry were patient in the 2nd half and good value for the win. One of the games of the year for me so far.

Interesting how Kerry's top players had quiet days. Gooch, Donaghy and Moran weren't at the races today (Tyrone bypassed the midfield) yet Kerry still had the depth to grind out the win. Mayo or Dublin will find it tough but they are beatable.

Kerry are riding a wave of favourable referring decisions for a number of years now...............

Slattsy

At least the lads are picking up on the ref's performance.

rebel girl 15

Guinness on SS5 called the Tyrone kickouts a horror show, and one of the key factors to decide the game

sligeach

Kerry took their chances, Tyrone didn't. That was the difference. Tyrone could have won that match. The ref didn't help either.

Cosmo Kramer

I see the same rules still apply in the championship as ever, you have to beat 16 men to beat Kerry. Disgraceful stuff from Deegan this afternoon.

Based on the above we take it you're listening on radio

Peter Canavan going through it on SS5 - Morgan not at fault really, showed one clip where 5 Tyrone players inside their 45 with 3 Kerry players, and no one really showing for the ball. As a keeper, it is hugely frustrating

Exactly the same as what happened in Limerick last year. Disgraceful decision for the second penalty decision.

Dont choke, dont choke, dont choke- ah Mayo, why did you choke again?
Keep your bitterness to yourself and concentrate on why your boys constantly bottle it

Mantis Toboggan

Delighted to see tyrone knocked out. Couldn't be looking at them in an all ireland final.

Hilarious but no, watching it on tv much like yourself I assume.

St Joe is now playing up to Tyrone after his criticism of Kavanagh a few years back, he needs all the support he can get

How many favourable decisions did they get?

Is it Kerry's fault that Tyrone don't take their goal chances?
Is it Kerry's fault that the tyrone keeper kicked a number of wides?

Cooper was taken clearly out of it after the ball was released and could easily have been a red- but it wasn't - was that a favourable kerry decision.

The first penalty - their are hardly any replays to prove conclusively that it was a penalty - but how many time is the second incident shown.

Where was Cavanagh today - a time when his team need him most?

Yeah yeah yeah sure. Write a press release about it, might as well blame the weather as well......
