Thank God for Ciaran Sheehan, Kerry in serious trouble it seems & Northern Football needs to take a seriously long look at itself in the mirror, the Donegal v Tyrone game was filthy, as per usual!
Looks like head to head next Sunday Kildare must be favorites for the all Ireland
Kildare don’t wear the favourites tag too well which could spell the death knell for the lilly whites, they always seem to fall short when the pressure is on. Dublin or Tyrone are my predictions for the A.I.F.
