I would love to see it. did he say that recently It would be a fantastic thing, but..........I'd die if we dont win Sam this decade. And I'd go to hell if Meath win it again before us We've got to find our own answer to the Ulster dominance

Ah yes that Ulster "dominance" with their three all-Irelands in the last 10 years.
Imagine if some team had managed to win four in the period, now that would be dominance!!

Was referring to their dominance over us. Mind you, in 4 meetings with the big two from the black north so far, Kerry were only kings in one. Imagine if they lost another game to Tyrone or Armagh this decade - would there be weeping & wailing and gnashing of teeth (and chewing of Celtic Crosses?)?? Will Jacko regret running away from that challenge? If he comes back in a couple of years, it wont be the same teams

Will Jacko regret running away from that challenge? If Tyrone couldnt beat Laois in 2006 I dont think that Kerry would have any bother with Tyrone. After all...... even dublin beat Laois. Jack met every challenge put up to him during his tenure. It wasnt his problem that Tyrone didnt qualify.

Dublin have been beaten by teams from all provinces in the past 3 years so its not just Ulster football they struggle with.
Kerry beat Armagh in 2000 also so the only team really to have got the better of Kerry in recent years is Tyrone.
While it would be great to beat Tyrone, I wouldn't lose any sleep about it as long we keep picking up all Irelands every couple of years.

While it would be great to beat Tyrone, I wouldn't lose any sleep about it as long we keep picking up all Irelands every couple of years. Kerry have also been beaten by teams from all provinces in the past few years, what's your point? True about 2000, but Armagh blew it in the drawn game, and Big Joe wasnt in charge then. As for Tyrone last year..........well even I would have to say that doesnt count. Come on lads, just be honest for once, let's cut to the chase here - it will stick in your craw if yis dont beat Tyrone or Armagh, more especially in a final. BTW, as a guide to the innocent & deluded, I include the National League in this

Never thought you were the type to run away from a discussion MM The question is straightforward and you know it: what do Kerry people REALLY want, another backdoor Sam against an also-ran.........or beat Tyrone

We were robbed of a draw, we didnt get the luck of Kerry in 2000. Cork have shown in recent years that regardless of the many top class players they have in abundance, they can only be bothered to play in Munster. Sorry, but their performances beyond have been pathetic

Beating Tyrone would be sweet................ if only would qualify for the final more often. Its the same with Down...... Kerry have never beaten them in the championship mainly because Down keep on going into the wilderness.
Kerry have been in 5 finals and 9 semi finals in the past 10 years.............need i say more.
