I think the Tyrone defense deserve a lot of credit in fairness, it’s like a brick wall of white around their 45.

Definitely. Credit where its due. Geaney gone missing in a big game. Who knew.

Kerry appear the dirtier of the two teams, will be surprised if they finish with 15. They normally lose there heads by the end of the game when been beat like this.

It's called doing a 'Cillian O Connor'

He teaches it in the cul camps

Strumms

Sludden WAS hard done by there

jeremyj1968

Jaysus that is a soft free. Terrible decision.

RMAOK

Soft free for Kerry there imo

Strabanimal

Neither player deserved a yellow there tbf

33,848 in Croker for this.

Whatever about anything else, the GAA's finances need Dublin at the business end of the Championship.

No they don't. If these teams had a realistic chance of beating Dublin there would be over 50k at. If Mayo played Donegal in the other semi you'd have 65k+ at it.

I've a feeling the semi final attendance won't be as high next year for Dublin.

Ref wants to tighten this game, easy frees keeping Kerry in it.

What argument did I make. That 29 counties are moaning about Dublin's superior talent pool and coaching grassroots?

They are not though - thats the original point that I was making.

the complaint is that the coaching is being funded by massive handouts from the GAA

Chalk McHugh

Terrible free awarded to Kerry. Nonsense decision.

The White Feather

I hate when the ref book 2 players who were scuffling. It is just admitting "I don't know what happened" If he doesn't know who was at fault then just give them a stern talking too. One of them could easily get sent off after the silly yellow

Happy4all

Ref is woeful...never a free

Have u a few examples of this carry on by Kerry?

Useless refereeing.
Kerry player fell down without being fouled.
Kerry very cynical and referee fooled again.

Up to a point, but not really. Have a look back at the attendances of the mid noughties when Leinster was actually competitive. Upwards of 70k for Leinster final every year.

I like his contributions. Seems like a pretty honest guy yet one who has a finger on the pulse of the current game though his involvement. Beats the hell out of the two rent a dummies beside him. Refreshing.

I switched over to see Spillane at HT. Have to say, I liked what I heard from Rochford.

Exactly what you'd expect from a top class coach/manager.

Same when Horan was on Sky.

Deegan having a poor game. Missing fairly obvious foul play but blowing for VERY borderline stuff. Not been great.

STB.

Show me 1 payment outside S.P.Y that benefits Dublin more then Kerry?

Can the two of yis take this to PM please or use the whole thread devoted to this.

It was the same crap yesterday.

Strabanimal

I can't talk up McShane enough

Chalk McHugh

No free to Tyrone there for me. Just a poor miss by McShane. Evened up the soft Kerry free beforehand.

CiarraiAbu2

Deegan having a bad game

RMAOK

Holding violation :rolleyes:

You'd swear it was basketball......

tayto lover

Yet another handy free for Kerry.

STB.

Even though Deegan is a little more easy going, I can see a few blacks and reds soonish.

At least the game is improving in pace.

munsterlegend

Watch Deegan make sure Kerry get back into this. He never changes.

Slattsy

Kerry Maurice as he's known.

spurshero

Using experience to win a free ... in other words diving

HaraldB

Went down easy my arse. Defender cannot touch a forward with no ball. Good refereeing.
