GAA football --Super 8's

Kerry were wonderful yesterday against a good side.

Some of their attacking play was brilliant and cork showed against Dublin that space can be found in their back line I would love to see this Kerry team up against them.

I've seen enough to think Dublin won't have it all their own way this year, Kerry as I said, Tyrone look stronger this year and there is still time for someone to pick up momentum in the remaining games to challenge.

Hopefully anyway as the last thing the game needs is another one sided championship.

Mayo by 3 and hopefully Tyrone by2

Well done carrot , Mayo played their best today since the winter .

Conditions in both matches not ideal , hope the weather is better tomorrow .

Harte missed a good chance to lay down a marker , Tyrone had they're chances to win the game but wasted them that  and two saves from the Dublin keeper ensured it will be Mayo who end Dublins 5 in a row challenge next Saturday. Dublin 1/5 Draw 11/1 and Mayo a cracking 9/2 shot. Todays game was played at a snails pace and yet the Dublin players seemed to be puffing and blowing like it was a pre season game whitch does not bode well for a six day turnaround

kelly i agree connolly was like a quarter back but in the tom brady mode.hes as good a foot passer as ive seen and almost every foot pass he gave were inch perfect? i didnt see too many hail marys ones.   even so i  think he will struggle to get any more game time this year!!

Who's going stop them for (((((6-IN-A-ROW)))))

Bardo , did you see the All-Blacks losing heavily to Australia yesterday .?

Hope some took the 3.8 today during the match at half time on Kerry .

Broadly similar today to yesterday , although Dublin do look the part for the final .

Kerry ‘blue away’ a great winning opportunity ?

Hopefully it will be 15 a side and not 14 verses 16.

That would be interesting .

Have been away , just back tonight . Was in Dublin last weekend , but not in Croker , just watching on TV .

Dublin were very lucky to survive , Kerry had far more scoring chances . Dublin only scored 2 points in the last 16 minutes of play .

Re ref , Cluxton save was illegal , he moved 4 or 5 feet from the line before Geaney kicked the ball , it should have been re taken .

The Dub backs were pulling and dragging all the first half , all yellow cards were deserved . Cooper should have been taken off after 5 minutes , he was not at the races . Took a huge legitimate hit right at the start ( bad solo) , never recovered .

Kerry have probably missed their chance though , Dublin will have sorted out some better play .

Disappointed that there was no result , given the potential day that was in it .  I watched supporters after the match trudging up the Drumcondra road from my hotel window , no buzz , anti climax , nothing to celebrate .  Great match , but no closure .

I'll take 33/1 they win the next 3, anyone?

43 minutes before Dublin recorded a wide . Kerry had a lot of wides in the second half when playing into the Hill .

Well done the Dubs , 5 in a row .

Think you would be lucky getting 5/1 that bet peckerdunne .  Kerry the only ones with emerging talent capable of challenging the Dub production line .

To beat the Dubs you have to score goals , none today .

Its a long time since the "hole-in-one" syndicate took layers to be suckers pecker: odds of 4/6 (today), 4/5 and Evens would give you 5/1

Congratulations to Dublin on making history -to the management and squad for their single-minded and disciplined approach ,skills development and tactical nous.
That said though, the  way things have worked out means that it's possibly not that big a deal as they are  effectively winning a 6 team competition and have only about 2 realistic challenges every year seeing that counties like Cork, Roscommon, Derry , Down, Meath have ceased to be remotely competitive.
In fact the irony is that the more the sequence of All-Irelands stretches the less each one will mean since it simply speaks to and emphasises the lack of competition.
