Easy as Pie for Kingdom
Ever since pundit Martin Carney paraphrased Don McClean on the afternoon Kerry lost to Cork in Páirc Uí Chaoimh with his day-the-music-died reference, the tune-related metaphors have been hard to avoid. We just felt we had to join in. Led Zeppelin, you know? Saturday evening in Fitzgerald Stadium was billed as a decider for the title of team of the decade, though both Kerry and Tyrone are, er, without an All-Ireland in this current decade: maybe it was to award retrospective bragging rights.
If so, then Kerry’s emphatic victory gives them all the advantages when time travel is invented. They were well out of sight of Tyrone long before the final whistle, and could even afford a round of olés being chanted in one of their final passing patterns.
