I did not think both teams would be as bad as that, could it possibly happen that like last year Derry win it? If not Kerry than Galway or Dublin please to win it!
Jack Barry's best game for Kerry.
Twas not enough of a test
Defence was solid, moran at 34 did well...says alot of what management think who can play midfield for kerry
A bit clueless up front when paudie clifford is man marked and that's the last 2 croke park championship games he's been wiped out
Looked v like a a one legged David clifford show...shudder to think if wasn't there today and mayo had some idea how to score...they were awful
Christ that game was as poor and lack luster as I can remember. As bad as we were! How awful were mayo? Lord God they were as bad as I've ever seen them. Not the test we needed atall. Going in against the dubs now in a semi without having a single tough or even reasonable challenging game.... I hope the training seasons are high intensity
Fake news apparently. I dunno what to believe any more
Yeah, can't see Moran lasting longer than 50 minutes, in which case we're relying on Joe O'Connor, who hasn't much Championship experience, or Stefan, who has the same problem, combined with his fitness issues. Wouldn't be worried about the backs or forwards, but when we were already expecting a tight game, it could come down to fine margins.
Surprised at how light Kerry are on midfield options. Jack Barry injured i presume and that happens but option B is starting a 34 year old David Moran. Moran's role was as impact sub with 20 mins to play and that option is gone from the bench now also.
I am wondering what is the reason. I was surprised that Adrian did not start against Limerick.
Really worried the next thing will be Paul Murphy starting.
Yeah massive worry to lose both Jack and Adrian.
Would have serious concerns about Moran lasting the pace for the full game - 20 minutes against Cork and 20 minutes against Limerick is a long way from ideal when he missed the entire league. If Diarmuid has one of his inconsistent days, we could be in a world of bother.
Wow that is a real blow.
As bad as losing Clifford would be, we have plenty forwards. Losing our engine room in Jack Barry and Adrian Spillane is massive.
I hope David has it in him and Joe/Stefan can offer something off the bench.
Jack Barry and Adrian Spillane notable absences. Don't like Moran starting, his day is gone imo but how and ever, Up the Kingdom
You are absolutely correct. I read an article on Monday but must have misread it.
Dan and Dara were training on their own but are now back in with the panel as per the Kerry's Eye today. So apologies for that.
Can’t see how that information is correct as weeks ago Dan O’Donoghue was playing full games with Spa so he’s definitely training fully. Also Jack was very clear that Moynihan is 100% available for selection and has been in full training.
I like Dan and he played very well in the League. He has strength, height and reads the game very well.
However he hasn't played a match in 4 months. I would be shocked (actually worried) if he starts or plays more than a few minutes on Sunday.
In terms of the current panel dynamics I'd consider both O'Beaglaoich and Graham O'Sullivan as nailed on starters until they play poorly.
I would not be starting Paul Murphy. All the other option are better starting than him
Are we forgetting about Paul Murphy in this discussion. Or has he had his day? He will likely play against Mayo whether from the start or from the bench.
Neither of O'Sullivan or O'Beaglaoich are nailed on in my opinion.
I would not be a bit surprised to see O'Donoghue starting Sunday.
I don't imagine we will see much of Dan O'Donoghue for the rest of the Championship fit or not.
Played well in 3 league games but has missed a significant amount of game time since. Will be hard for him to break back into the team.
Graham O'Sullivan has now strengthened his position and O'Beaglaoich is a good bit ahead of him now.
Nearly every Kerry player played well in every match this year so far. If Dan O Donoghue is fit I would start him. Neither Graham O'Sullivan or O Beaghlaoich are classic corner backs. While either might work against Mayo, it after that I am worried about, if we win we face Dublin.
I really want to see Rock running up the field after Tom O' Sullivan. That will not happen unless DoD is on the field as otherwise ToS will be needed to mark who is in the corner.
Would O Beaglaoich not start? Played well in every game he has played this year. Not sure Dan O Donoghue is 100% either.
I am getting a bit jittery that it will be like 2020/2021 where we will trip over our own laces again.
If we think we can just play all attacking football and win is what O am afraid of. We have had no real game for four weeks. Mayo I think will be well up for it there is nothing coming out of there camp.
Feck it, we'd bate them with 13!
Sorry forgot to put them in☺️☺️
Are we playing 13 a side now.
Add Gavin White and Morley in there.
Dan O'Donoghue and Dara Moynihan both training on their own away from the squad I believe.
David is back in with the squad.
Dylan Casey out for the season after his Injury Vs Limerick.
With the amount of injuries to players with "D" as their first letter Diarmuid O'C and David Moran would want to be careful.
Team I would like see Sunday
Shane Ryan
Dan Donoghue
Jason Foley
Tom O'Sullivan
Graham O Sullivan
Jack Barry
Diarmuid O Connor
Adrian Spillane
Sean O Se
Stephen O Brien
Paul Geaney
David Clifford
Paudie Clifford
I am presuming that both DC and DoD will be fit. If not then I would presume O'Bealoigh and Killian Spillane in.
That was it, twas the ed shearon of the time😀
Yeah, maybe that was it. I can't remember at all tbh.
Didn't the replay in 2014 clash with an American Football game played in Croke Park?
I agree. Hopefully they'll be reconsidered if attendance is as low as the qualifiers at the weekend.
