why are kerry obsessed with being the team of the decade, did they get a trophy for it, are ye going for team of the last 11 years this year boys.

Kerry have a great record in terms of All Irelands won but yet you still have an inferiority complex when it comes to Northern Teams. The lack of grace and bile that comes from your managers, players, ex-players, Spillane and supporters when you loose is pathetic.

Phoenix..some independent views as follows

....

braeking news... "3 AIs by a certain team in one decade is worth much more any other record held by any other GAA county..according to the latest motion to be put to Congress by a anonymous County Board...the AI as we know it if this motion is sucessful will mean the end of the AI series and all records will be based on the record against a certain South Western county(lol^lol)

ah that is a pity, thought you were seeing the light..yes Tyrone beat kerry 3 times and well done no arguments here...however 5>3 QED..no prizes for beating a particlar team 3 times but I am sure the Ty county board will probably put a motion to Congress along these lines if you have any input and scrap the AI al together (lol)...yes you beat the best 3 times but that does not make ty the best..3 swallows never made a summer..5 or 36 possibly consitute a summer...quoting the great Jack O'Connor

In ur mind only, u cant claim to be the greatest team of the decade when u failed to beat a team, not once, twice but 3, yes 3 occasions, literally every Championship game u played them that decade....ahem!!!!

[08kyky]

Finally Phoenix, you seem to be getting on the right page...absolutely nothing ...apologies if the facetiousness was lost on ya..finally..all about the silverware...KY greatest team this year (year of 125 celebrations), greatest at the 100 year anniversary and genrally the greatest over the history of the GAA...Of course Munster tops the GAA stakes also across GAA Football and Hurling....townland, village, parish, county and province...

well if were talking about team of the decade what has 1986 got to do with anything, the average attendence at FitzGerald Stadium, Killarney

Austin Stack Park, Tralee perhaps??

[08kyky]

sure if you are still struggling with the overwhelming evidence, can I suggest you have a read of wikipedia it might assist you in thinking rationally and like i said there is nothing wrong with being second to the best over the short sliver of time. Kerry Abu and have a good new year!!

[08kyky]

Phoenix, the auld insular, obsession with a sliver of time..us Kerry people have watched same over the decades, i.e. Wexford in the 1910s, Cavan in the 30s' and 40s and Down in the 60s, the pretenders to the title..but in the end of the day counting back, the same auld stat shows Ky to be the best.i.e.

1>0

5>3

36>22>3(lol)

Keep posting please Phoenix, as I said you are quite entertaining and if you continue you might cpature the 2009 and 2010 Darwin award...1st back to back (lol^lol)

[08kyky]

Mr Phoenix...i can count a bit thanks for expressing some interest in same, unlike some people who might have an interest in the number 3, I have found myself interested in numbers a little greater than 3...yes we are talking about Kerry the Team of the decade...you fell for it again...

[phoenix1916]

surely we are talking about the "team of the decade"???

Cant u count kerryman???
