Not in my time.

Loads of talk about it in Donegal too.

Question for those in the know - what time does the stand below in killarney get full at? Wouldn’t be a great man for getting in early but in company so will want a seat.

This might not work but best I can do on a phone lol.

The red X is the Limerick side you'll be coming from, the blue X is the other roundabout. Fitzgerald stadium is pin pointed and the n22 is the road you'll be driving.

Hope it helps

Down the M7 toward limerick if that makes sense. Have got train to the last few games in Tralee.

When you come onto the bypass from that side, there's another roundabout about 1km away, drive to it and swing around. Park on that side of the road so you're facing back in the Limerick direction.

You'll be a 5 minute walk from the stadium parking there.

Hi lads, quick question. Handiest place to park in Killarney for this Sundays match? Coming from Dublin and heading back there after the game so want a quick escape if possible.

Our Defence is extremely threadbare for the first game anyway, not even sure who they'll have on the bench.

List of who is unavailable for the next while from Eoghan Cormican on Twitter

Eanna O'Conchuir and Brian O'Beaglaoich are unavailable due to their involvement with An Ghaeltacht in the intermediate semi-final (and possibly final) and Donaghy is still playing basketball.

I wonder if that means Cathal Ó Lúing isn't on the panel this year? Thought he had a big year ahead of him this year maybe.

Kerrydude1981

Going to be interesting to see how we fair out this year in the league,there has been little or no noise about the panel over the last few months, no word on challenge matches played.

The_Honeybadger

We have Dublin Mayo and Monaghan away, so there is almost no chance of making the final this year I would think. If we get a good look at some of the younger panelist’s and stay in division one it’s a good league as far as I am concerned.

I'd assume none of the lads in the Medium Term category will be back for the first batch of 3 games in 3 weeks - Donegal at home, Mayo away and Monaghan away. Might make for a tricky enough league, especially if there is much more in the way of injuries/knocks. Lots of the younger prospects will surely get a chance, especially in terms of the subs bench. Could be a bit of chopping and changing in terms of positions in the early games until the options improve. Looks like it will be the backs and midfield are the areas most affected. Also from last year's panel Bryan Sheehan has retires and Johnathon Lyne is no longer part of the panel.

Donegal are missing a few of their bigger names - the big one being Michael Murphy but I don't think they have the same volume of players missing. They also are in the semis of the McKenna Cup versus Armagh which is due to be played this weekend assuming the weather agrees (been cancelled twice already due to weather conditions) I'd imagine the team named for that won't be too far off the team for the Kerry game.

Overall I'd be surprised enough if Kerry ended up in a league final this year.

Donal Keenan wrote a biography since Paidi's death - Paidi 'A Big Life'.

Not much talk here about the NFL with the visit of Donegal just over a week away. Judging by media reports on the number of absentees, it will be a very new Kerry team.

Yes. Paidi O Se wrote his autobiography strangely enough.

Could not get over how frail he got great programe thought when he was out watching the young lads training it was touching. His son John is married to a neighbor of mine often spoke with Micko himself no time for lads drinking dirty beer as he would call it hinting at John.

Very good interview with ex Kerry hurler John Griffin

I meet him every few days and his decline is very noticeable, especially since his wife passed away a few years back.
He certainly achieved a lot in his time and would still chat football to you till the cows come home. A real gentleman

Any new guys likely to get a run in the league e.g David O'Leary Crokes, David Clifford ?

keane2097

Murphy is good from long range frees too from what I've seen.

We have some amount of half back options. Would be nice to get some full backs or half forwards to come along.

Watched the Crokes Nemo game on Sunday and his kickouts were awful. Numerous times he completely missed his target with accuracy and also with distance. I was actually surprised at how poor the kickouts were, and was a mjor factor in the first half points for Nemo. Pulled off a couple of good saves, but they also came from his kickouts being won uncontested by Nemo. Wouldnt know him or see him much, but you'd hope that was just a one off so if his kickouts are usually good.

Was at the game and it was the same for both keepers - some poor kickouts. In the first half I thought Nemo would get penned in solely because of their keeper, then Crokes had similar.

On the whole, he was fine from kickouts, nothing that can't be worked on. He made two phenomenal saves to keep Crokes in the game, he's worth a crack in the league for that alone.

Gavin White too should be given a shot - drove Crokes on when required. Daithi Casey actually played poorly by his standards, a testament to Nemos half back line that none of them stood out, yet Crokes were quietened here.
