So slow and ponderous.
Reminds me of when Pep plays 7 midfielders. They've a system that works well, but then over time it gets more and more extreme until it makes no sense anymore. And they don't have the clinical forwards anymore to make it work.

I have no idea either, yet.

Yeah, that's true but Con is a loss. If you take Clifford out of the Kerry side and Con starts then that's a huge turnaround.

Jesus I thought Dublin definitely looked like they were starting to find the spaces to put on another few points. Good game and fair play to the Dubs for making it that close without O'Callaghan.

Wouldn't write off Galway at all against Kerry. I wasn't very impressed with them today.

Still buzzing. Downside of emigrating is missing wins like that. Hope we can finish the job in two weeks, left big opportunities on the table the last few years

Just announced today, great timing for it to be honest, Kerry winning Sam will be overshadowed by this.
Id say they will try and get Shefflin from galway now.
The chatter is Derek Lyng and his u20 backroom team are going to step up. The talk is Cody isn’t too keen on Shefflin getting the reigns and his word will carry huge weight Noreside…

Can see nothing only a Kerry win today but you never know, I guess. Galway haven’t been greatly impressive at any stage of the championship thus far and you could make a case that they’ve been fortunate in their last three outings to get the job done. You’d suspect Kerry won’t be so profligate in front of goal and will put severe questions to the suspect Galway defence (and goalkeeper).

Clifford deserves an All-Ireland for his majesty over recent years so for that reason alone, I hope Kerry do it today.

Galway the better team so far. Much more clinical in their attack and getting numbers back to stifle Kerry’s attack.

Kerry too slow in possession and allowing Galway to regroup and get 2 men sweeping in the D. You’d imagine Kerry would have to improve, but Galway will be delighted with the ease at which they’ve got the ball into their scoring forwards.
