Tom O’Sullivan will probably be moved to the corner to accommodate White. It’s the only way to get both of them in the team. I’m not sure if they are going to persist with Murphy at CB, lots of places up for grabs at the back.

We look to be a while away from knowing our best team which is a worry.

Really? I thought Murphy was good at 6 yesterday.
Well I suppose it is also a sign that you have a good number of options.
Could tommy walsh go out to midfield I wonder?

He was good but they targeted him with kickouts I thought. It's a weakness for him. I thought every Kerry player in the middle sector could take a bit of blame for the breaking ball.

I’d like to see a half back line of
Murphy-White-G. Crowley

I’d like to see Murphy back in his roaming position. Named at wing forward but helping the defense, midfield and linking the attack.
Moynihan is a great find but might need another year before he is a championship starter against the stronger teams.
G Crowley- White- O Sullivan is just as strong as having Murphy in there.

Disgusting to read about the abuse Deividas Uosis got at the colleges game last week - then again, he's got an All-Ireland minor medal already, so he'll presumably have bigger matches on the agenda for the rest of the year.

Where did you read about it?

Would any of our hurling followers know who is the Kilmoyley hurling manager for 2019?

It seems Shane Brick is training Douglas senior hurlers in Cork this year.

He would be a loss after getting kilmoyley to the county final last year and losing out to that infamous penalty.

SPSL Rathmore lost by a point today in the Paddy Drummond final. Game of 2 halves really with them all over roscommon in the first half but kicking some bad wides, they lead 6-3 at half time, roscommon came out of the blocks 2nd half and were up 6 points at one stage only for Rathmore to get level and it took a free in the 8th minute of injury time to win it for Roscommon.

I know its said regularly but the coverage TG4 provide is just unreal.

Disgusting, ignorant behaviour from a very small minority of Naas CBS supporters. The funny thing about it is the lad they were targeting has an All-Ireland minor medal from 2017. Come to think of it, I know a fella in Naas who has a Senior All Ireland Football medal.......he's an antiques dealer.

Shane Murphy surprisingly drops out of the Kerry panel. Guess that leaves Shane Ryan as number 1 then with Kelly as a decent back up.

Haven't heard any reasons as to why Murphy has dropped out. Must say I am surprised at his decision but best of luck to him whatever happens in the future.

Apparently told that he is not first choice and won’t be allowed play with his club. I don’t blame him for walking away if that is the case.

Gavin White picked up a shoulder injury at the weekend and will be out for some time too so it’s very possible that there will be no Crokes man on the starting 15 for the Munster championship.

Peter Crowley has done his cruciate and will miss the championship.

An awful blow to an already stretched backline.

Will be lucky to make it out of the Super 8's.

Really going to town now, 3-18 to 1-8.

I believe McCarthy stepped down from the panel after the reports today.

What reports?

Sorry, it was in the Sunday World saying he was arrested on College St Killarney on Apr 22, abusive behaviour towards Gardai again.

Ah FFS, hope it’s not true but if it is then he has to go. You can’t be having that kind of distraction on the panel.

Some confusion from the Kerry GAA Twitter a/c, but my understanding is that the minors play Tipp in the semis, after Clare beat them tonight.
