CanTyrone spoil Kerry's party?

by BBC NI Sport (U6111595) 15 September 2008
comment on the article
Brian Dooher with the Sam Maguire back in 2005

Can Tyrone win their third All-Ireland title following their successes back in 2005 when they defeated Kerry and 2003 when they succeeded against fellow Ulstermen Armagh?

Kerry certainly certainly seem to have an aversion to the Red Hand county, but surely they have enough experience and nous in their locker to win their third Sam Maguire in succession?

What do you think? Will Mickey Harte be too cute for the Kingdom or will Kerry uphold their favourites tag. Give us your views in the run-up to Sunday's final.

Although its the nightmare scenario for anyone looking for a ticket the prospect of a draw is likely. These two teams are very evenly matched in terms of ability. It will come down to who wants it more and I would like to think Tyrone would have sufficient motivation to take it home. Good call Sinduda.

My gut feeling is that Kerry will win. Its very close on paper.

Does anyone else feel that maybe Galvin's return will give the Kerry team a bit of a lift? Im hoping so, being from Kerry. smiley

Honestly I think a draw is the most likely outcome.
Kerry are the physically stronger team and overall I would probably say they have the slightly more talented Fooballers.
However Tyrone have possibly the greatest tactician in Ireland with Mickey Harte and their Hunger cannot be questioned.

The determining factor I feel will be fitness and in many of Kerrys matches Key players were noticably tired with 15 mins to go. Even with Tyrone's High paced Game they seem to have unbelievable stamina. If there will be a winner I think it will be Tyrone purely on the fact that Kerry don't have the legs for them. Added to that the option of an Impact sub of Stephen O'Neill's calibre I think its 51/49 in Tyrone's Favour.

but only time will tell

Yeah a Draw! Will be too tight to call! Anyway the GAA need some more money!

Although i'd love it if Tyrone stuffed Kerry by 10pts! I live & Dream.
