Decent team on paper anyway

No subs released for some reason. I think we will get ripped apart by Mayo and as good as that forward line is, they wont be able to save us.

Must be one of the most inexperienced Kerry teams to ever start a championship game v Mayo? and Mayo will likely line out with 11 or 12 of their AI final starting team of 2 years ago.

Yeah delighted, these games will be the making of the likes of Dara Moynihan and Diarmuid O’Connor for the next few years.

Paul Geaney a weak link at full forward. His attitude and scoring is not good enough this last two years.

He is getting too many chances.

I would of started Tommy Walsh full forward and either bring on O Donoghue or Geaney when he tired.

PK reported no injuries earlier so presumably Jack Barry has been dropped. His form has been up and down but he is a big man who can tackle and bottle up a runner. Likewise Gavin Crowley. Two players who have done well v mayo in the past too.

I find the team very surprising. Perhaps there will be changes before throw in.
If not then I wonder what the plan is? Mayo will run through that team at their ease. They will be delighted if that is what they are facing.

Where beat for parking lads? Will be coming in the N22 though Farranfore.

Number 2 here. Easy in, easy out. Less than a 5 minute walk to stadium. Always use it whenever I drive and it's open.

Coming from Farranfore car parks 5&6 are good options, you take the left just before driving down the hill into Killarney. But theyd be close to a 20 minute walk to stadium.

I think there will be a few changes before kick off. Very strange no subs named, are we in for some weird surprise I wonder....

A lot of teams don't name their bench at the same time as the starting 15.

And it's throw in, not kickoff.

Don't mind the walk if they would be handier to get out off. The Mayo traffic will all be coming in that side. Cheers for the info lads, should be a cracker.

Hi guys, I'll be coming into Killarney on the N22 Rathmore/Mallow road tomorrow. Is there parking on that side of the town as I'll be heading back that way afterwards?

I plan on getting there about 2 hours before throw in.

There is a post a few posts back with a link to a twitter post with a parking map of Killarney

There is feck all that side

You might get something on the side of the road facing back the way you cam, it's not that long a walk to the ground

You're better off parking in number 2 in the tweet I posted above. In my experience it would be mental to try and park somewhere in towards town as it's a total nightmare getting out after. The designated car parks will have Garda directing traffic out to ensure it runs as smooth as possible.

dobman88

Just to note for anyone arriving early. Celtic Steps will be performing from 2.30pm and it's well worth heading in for that as they put on an amazing show.

Well done.

Clinical performance today.

Clifford and most especially Moran were outstanding today.

Mr. Incognito

Having a beer after the game.

Foley. O se. Moran. Clifford immense.

Mayo looked knackered.

Ref was appalling in the second half for us.

Delighted. Will enjoy today.

Donegal will show us if it was a once off at home

I think the performance of Shane Ryan is being underrated.

I thought he was very assured and composed. He made the kick outs look easy. And the penalty save was incredible. It was heading for the top corner until he saved it with his fingertips.

Today reminded me a lot of the qualifier against Tyrone in Killarney from a few years ago. Defeat today was unthinkable for Kerry. And they blew Mayo away

This was spot on, fair play. Shane Enright coming in was certainly a surprise but he did the job just fine. Thought James O D did well as a type of playmaker too. Got on a lot of ball and fed the lads inside well.

Very happy my prediction of Mayo giving them a hiding was well wrong. I did not see that performance in them but I'm a very happy man this evening.

Gavin Crowley was very good from where I was sitting.

DDC1990

Very happy with the performance. Really hungry.

We finally got a good crowd behind us. Hope we get the same up to Croke Park next weekend. Donegal fans will travel well.

Yes I noticed that myself

Unlike other games where traveling Mayo fans seem to be in the majority (noise making anyway), Kerry really had the fans out in numbers.

Stoner

A rare visit.

But I liked the Jersey yesterday. Gold sounds like a terrible idea, but I thought the retro Adidas ringer style looked great.

That's all I have to say. Good bye.

Watching the Kerry match back. How the hell did Aidan O'Shea get away with kicking Spillane in the back of the head?
Not only did he avoid a red card but he actually got a free kick out of it!

Diarmuid sorted him out at the next kickout. Should have been a black card obviously but no harm for O'Shea to get a taste of his own medicine.

dobman88

After spending today thinking about the game, the main thing I'm taking from it is the difference in kick out strategy than when Fitzmaurice was in charge. There actually looked to be a plan for almost every eventuality yesterday and it was great to see.

That Stephen O Brien catch was sensational. Running backwards, towards Donie Vaughan who has been one of the toughest footballers of the last decade, expecting contact and not only does he catch it clean but he puts Vaughan on his arse doing it. I've never cheered a catch before but that one did it for me. Brilliant stuff from him and it just epitomised the performance for me.

Better watch what I say cos the Mayo lads are around and apparently not happy with some posts but what else would you expect from O Shea at this stage. Definitely deliberate. Delighted to see Moran clean up after he was laughing in his face before throw in.

Is the game up on RTE player? Can't find it. Would appreciate if someone could link me to it.
