just as well Kerry are out of championship. They are just flukey get flukey decisions and poxy goals out of nothing especially when they are losing well. Beaten well by Galway, Beaten well by Monaghan and Beaten well in the first half by Kildare. It would be an injustice if Kerry got through to semi final. Best of luck to Fitzmaurice he was a real gent and nice guy and did his best to coach a pretty average Kerry panel. Best of luck to him in his future roles.

Similarly, any criticism being thrown out has generally been aimed at the older players - plenty of patience and praise for the young lads this year.

Ridiculous carry on. No true supporter would do such a thing.

Thanks to Fitzmaurice for all the work he has done for the county as player and coach. The time had come to move on.

A year too late

Hope that is true and fair play to him for not dragging it out.

Best of luck to him and thanks for everything, especially 2014, one of the happiest days I have had following Kerry.

And the real question to be asked is why was he even given a 3 year extension last year.

Won an All-ireland with an average enuf squad. Players starting to come thro successful underage teams and people felt he deserved a chance to bring those thro.

Obvious this year that it wasnt the correct decision but easy to be wise after the event.

To try and let him maintain authority for this year I suppose. It's only notional anyway, nobody is signing iron clad contracts.

Meh. Got what we deserved in the end. Probably done us a favour cause the dubs would pick us apart. Wonder if the management will walk. I doubt it somehow

Surely will walk now after 3 poor performances

Lol. James and Kev Mac in 35 minutes too late

Fairly diabolical stuff all round. Killian Young found out a few times and caught for pace as expected, has Donaghy won a single ball played into him yet apart from one handy one under little pressure. So many wides. Couple of lost kick outs and at least one out over the line. Kildares indiscipline might bail us out so we get the win but it's literally papering over cracks if we go through.

Monaghan doing what they do best in salthill. Probably better if we don't go through so we avoid an absolute pasting against the dubs

It's no dummy team either it transpires.

in fairness to the kerry support they travelled in large numbers to Monaghan for the previous match.

Kerry get good crowds at home but it’s a big stadium relatively speaking and I wouldn’t expect a big Kildare contingent given their season is over and they have an U20 final tomorrow.

There is nobody in kerry waiting for a final this year

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Wondering if it will be possible to get tickets at the gate today.
Down on holidays and looking to bring the kids.
Thanks in advance.

You will have no problem buying as many tickets as you want at the stadium.

Agreed with all of the above.
Is Morley injured or not? Is he just taking a handy spot on the bench? I wish the management would come out and say player a,b and c are injured, it would stop the discontent between supporters. Shanahan being case in point.
Also where has Crowley gone to?
Killian Young again is a mystery, I just dont know what to think at this stage

fwiw I think we should win by the 5 points target as Kildare have zero to play for. What will happen above in Salthill is anyones guess

Even the bench is a surprise to me- I think McCarthy, Casey and Darren will all bring something very similar to both what’s on the pitch already and to what each other bring.

Surely have someone in there to change tack if needs be during the game.
We seem to have a plan A and when that doesn’t work- the only solution is to double down on plan A

That’s a great joke, did you come up with that yourself? Must have taken ages, you’re a gas man in fairness

Strange team- the inaction when it comes to make necessary outfield changes is made more ludicrous by the haste displayed in dropping Shane Murphy after the Galway game.

To be honest that decision still rankles me as the lad was hung out to dry- same as Griffin against Monaghan.

It’s real ignore the symptoms kind of stuff- leave one lad as a fall guy for a systems failure in the middle third.

Surprised that the midfield/ centre back and half forward line are lined out as they are but I still think we’ll win today and here’s hoping Galway can do us a favour.

I really hope we start seeing some movement towards a settled/functioning game plan today-we need our midfield to really compete, Young to hold the centre and our half forward line to improve the supply of ball going in.

There will be a van selling tickets at the Lewis road entrance. I don’t imagine that it will be anywhere near a sell out so there should be plenty of room on the terrace

Wouldn't be too sure, tickets.ie say it's sold out but if tickets are available there's usually a GAA van selling them on Lewis road on the walk up to the stadium.

Might be worth a walk up to see if there's any available but wouldn't expect it.

Is Fitzmaurice looking for the boot or is this a bluff team?

Ronan Shanahan dropped from the 26 is absolutely ridiculous. One of our best backs against Monaghan. If Morley isn’t fit to start he is not fit for the bench.

Crowley at full and Young at Centre is asking for Kildare to target us straight down the middle. We will leak 2-3 goals minimum.

Donaghy to start but nobody will be instructed to kick high ball in like against Monaghan. This will emphasis what an absolute clown Fitzmaurice is.
