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.

Will you be travelling via Limerick and down by CastleIsland or via the M8 in from the Cork direction?

dobman88 · 26-01-2018 9:50pm

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.

dobman88 · 26-01-2018 11:30pm

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

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.

Only wossies sit in the stadium in Kerry. The real GAA man (kids, wife and all) watch it from the Terrace opposite the stand. Unless it is milling there will be more on the Terrace than the stand in Killarney

Duly noted.

homerjay2005 · 28-01-2018 1:07am

stand holds about 7,000, cant see it being full especially if the weather is ok as people will go on the terrace.

thing the young team will see a bigger crowd

Is David Clifford the first Fossa player to play senior with Kerry?

Yes.

I only know this because the Fossa club said it on Facebook in a good luck message to David.

Seems that has been edited out now though.

DDC1990 · 28-01-2018 5:12pm

A win is a win. Bit of bottle from the young lads.

Clifford whipped off soon after the half. Poor shooting but physically looks grand.

James O came on and straight off within 2 minutes injured.

Seanie Shea and Paul Murphy seriously impressive.

Daithi Casey was brilliant as a sub kicking the winning point (2 hops though I swear).

Defence is ****e and very little cover. Coffey was bullied a bit. Shanahan was good as well. Enright struggled on the brilliant McBrearty.

SecretsOfEarth · 28-01-2018 5:44pm

What is our problem with defence? It's just baffling. This has been persisting for years, no cover and being cut right open, yet little seems to be done about it.

Nidgeweasel · 28-01-2018 5:44pm

Great game and really enjoyed seeing so many young players from both counties.

Disappointed not to come away with something but sure.

Great hospitality as always.

dobman88 · 28-01-2018 5:50pm

Think Clifford did fine. Just left the shooting boots at home. Won his fair share and set up about 3/4 scoring chances iirc. Also took a big hit off McBrearty, bounced up, McBrearty tripped him, bounced back up again and he had one final nibble with a push and he didn't let it bother him.

Speaking of McBrearty. He was a joy to watch today. That one handed catch in midfield, run and finish with a great point. Also the free kick from about 60 metres out was fantastic shooting.

Nice to start off with a win.

conor05 · 28-01-2018 6:02pm

Paul Murphy is a sight to behold.
He covered every blade of grass today. Small man, huge heart. Massive skill level.
Kerry’s most influential player since 2014.

David Clifford is going to have a big say this year. Croke Park is his playground in July/August.

Doltanian · 28-01-2018 6:03pm

Going by todays performance there is serious depth of talent there and they showed huge determination to come from four points down to battle over the line. Mayo are there for the taking next Saturday going on todays performance. Kerry will grow into a serious squad and will have the beating of Dublin come the summer if we play with a neutral referee who is not paid off in Dublin's favour.

D'Agger · 28-01-2018 6:22pm

Seems Kerry just got caught by a Donegal team who were quite good at breaking via long ball - we lacked a bit of physical presence at the back and I think that played a part

Murphy & McBrearty were standout, great to see O'Shea given a chance, great long distance free with pressure on late into the game, boomed it over. Crowley was good, half back though not centre, Burns worked hard, Def an upgrade on Mikey Geaney I'd say, Clifford has great hands, worked well with BJK at times, Casey did very well, laid off some lovely ball and took the point well - don't think it was a double hop, think he hopped, lost control and bounced it back up rather than hop, control then hop again.

The Kerry Defense during the Munster final was very poor. If cork had been a bit more clinical it might have been a different story.

Well the ref you got today certainly seems to like you.

Wouldn’t be getting too excited. We conceded 3-14 to fourteen men and have a major issue to sort at the back. Donegal also wiped us out around the middle from their own kickouts.

Definitely some positives too, Sean O’Shea was great, Burns, Crowley and Murphy did well and we battled back well when it looked like we were beaten. O’Brien was good as well, albeit as the spare man after the sending off.

Lots to work out but some very encouraging signs from some of the youngsters.It’s a good time to play Mayo next wknd as they are slow starters usually. A win up there would be a massive boost to the young panel but it’ll be a big ask.

ProudDUB · 28-01-2018 7:05pm

Still blaming the refs for the losses. Some Kerry people are becoming the poster children for sore losers. Long may it continue !

Yeah the defence was seriously ropey - I thought it very much looked like a bunch of lads thrown together as opposed to anything resembling a proper settled defence. Some positives, some negatives from today and overall plenty to be getting on with, but 2 points in the bag early on is always good.

Worth remembering the list of lads missing today

Short term (2-3 weeks)
Tadhg Morley, Fionn, Tom O'Sullivan, Mark Griffin, Adrian Spillane, Kevin McCarthy, Darran, Mikey Geaney, Eanna O'Conchuir & Brian O'Beaglaoich

Medium Term (4-6 weeks)
Killian, Crowley, Gavin White, Maher, David Moran, Buckley, Donnchadh Walsh, Conor Geaney & Donaghy.

Fair chunk of defenders and midfielders in there. I doubt any will be back for the Mayo game given it's only in 6 days time. Be interesting to see what changes are made for the Mayo match.

Lot of football to be played before then.

Sure after the league last year we were all told that Kerry were not longer "in transition" and that they had finally arrived.

Jesus christ there's so much hyperbole and sh!te in one post it's hard to know where to start.

BPKS · 28-01-2018 9:15pm

Wonder why Fitzmaurice left Shanahan wing back all day when he played corner back all through the 2017 league. Especially when we were so light in full back line options and Coffee is more used to playing in the half back line.

No lessons learned from last years semi finals on how not to leave your full back line totally vulnerable either.

Management needs to seriously up their game.

This is a thread to discuss Kerry. It is not the property of posters from Kerry, any more than the Dublin thread is owed by Dubliners. If you put up a sour grapes post about another county, expect to get called out on it, regardless of the thread. Doing it here, doesn't give you any special privileges.

David Clifford scored 1-4 in IT Tralee's shock victory over Queen's University Belfast in the Sigerson Cup on a score of 2-8 to 0-11.

In the other Sigerson Cup results, UCC defeated Garda College 1-12 to 2-7. Sean O'Shea scoring 0-5 and Killian Spillane scoring 1-3 including a late penalty for the Cork college. While UL defeated CIT 2-13 to 1-11

That's a great win for IT Tralee

DDC1990 · 03-02-2018 10:41am

2 changes to last weeks team.

Brian O'Beaglaoich comes in for Coffey and Jack Barry is in for Brendan O'Sullivan.

Heavy rain yesterday so tipped up to McHale Park for a look this morning and the pitch looks pretty heavy. Not FBD league heavy, but slow going.

Will suit Mayo's more physical backs. Will slow some our our younger lads down.

Watched the IT Tralee v Queens game on youtube yesterday to look at Clifford and Gavin Crowley. Clifford kept them in the game winning ball, getting frees, punching a goal and setting up the winning goal with a run from deep.

Crowley played a defensive midfield role. Kick passing was poor (heavy legs after Sunday) but some amount of tracking. Looks very fit.

I'd like to see Shanahan drop back and do a man marking job on Moran. Enright is too vulnerable in the air.

Its great to see Barry O'Sullivan has found his form back and keeps his place. Himself and Jack Barry play together for UCD as well so I'm looking forward to that partnership.

Interesting to see Eanna O'Connor slide into the number 26 jersey. Very impressed with him last year with the Juniors. A game like tonight's would suit him down to the ground.

jimmytwotimes 2013 · 03-02-2018 9:09pm

Some very good performances so far. Will possibly still fade in the latter stages but they doing well enuf.

Shane Enright not doing his chances any good tonight. Shane Murphy will get another couple of chances but the jury is out so far.

Sean O'Shea looks impressive for a 19 year old

Kerrydude1981 · 03-02-2018 9:12pm

Class points by Murphy and O Sullivan

Kerrydude1981 · 03-02-2018 9:36pm

Must be some size of a gate in Castlebar with the size of the crowd leaving early

jimmytwotimes 2013 · 03-02-2018 9:38pm

Big win. Young fellas stood up, especially when down to 13.

Our support on the run a big improvement on last year so basketball coaching is working.

Held Mayo scoreless for over 40 mins of that match which is good going.

keane2097 · 03-02-2018 9:39pm

Mighty win in fairness.
