Jordan was good on Darren for 50 mins but when Mid Kerry were on top Darren was moving a bit better. Thought Greg Horan was very good. Two good showing from young fellas just out of minor.

This is being taken out of a context- I'm not doubting that Conor had a good game, was just pointing out the mismatch in pace!

I get you don't worry. Darren didnt get many opportunities to run at him though, had he the result may have been a different story. Despite missing two very soft frees I was very impressed with O Grady. The balls in were just sticking to his gloves. Is Liam Carey a future Kerry Senior supersub? Came on and won two big frees which were both scored and carried some massive ball. Thought he turned the tide in Mid Kerrys favour in the second half.

Carey was very good, Mid Kerry got two fortunate goals and in truth Stacks also got a lucky one as Donaghys goal was fortunate (it could have been a peno of he failed to score as he appeared to be fouled) but I think the ref let the game go and while he might have given one or two black cards I think nobody is complaining as it was a great game considering the conditions. The decision to play it in Killarney is regrettable, seven or eight thousand people will be swallowed up in that stadium and regardless of what unfolds on the field the atmosphere that is expected at a County Final will not be there.

Don't think young carey is to happy with the super sub tag from what I'm hearing on the grapevine under constant pressure to change a game when he comes on missed about 6 months with the minors through injury so was delighted to get back in there but locals can't understand why not start him now

Replay in Killarney is a poor decision. Hearing all Kerry home league games are also in Killarney due to planned renovations in Tralee - any truth in this?

I believe he came on as a sub for Mary I too in there first game and kicked 3-3 or 3-4.

I think some people will be unhappy the replay isn't on in Connolly Park. Fitzgerald Stadium has the best surface and best facilities for players and supporters. Why penalise it for having a 45,000 capacity?

I'm a Tralee man and all that but I imagine the logic behind playing all our league games in Fitzgerald's Stadium is that the pitch is our championship venue and thus any big championship games will be played there.
More practice at your championship venue- the better! Main reason why the Dubs have started playing nearly all their league games at Croker

A very enjoyable final and a good game of football. A draw wasn't an out of the way result as both teams were reasonably well matched.
The minor game was a disappointing game as both teams adopted the Donegal template while defending against the wind into the Horan end,as a result the game suffered and was very difficult to watch as a result. In an All-Ireland winning year and with the amount of quality players on view this was disappointing when contrasted to the senior game. In the senior game both teams went for it and it was afar greater spectacle to watch.
Congrats to Dingle on what has been a massive year for football in the region.

I really dont understand why any Kerry games get played in Tralee - given the poorer pitch and facilities. Very bizarre. Do I detect some sarcasm? Anybody who had played in both pitches will tell you Fitzgerald Stadium is much the better (and bigger) pitch. And while the dressing rooms in Tralee are fine, the new ones in Killarney are much better. Its also easier for supporters to get in and out of the ground with the couple of different access routes. Yes, the atmosphere is obviously better in Austin Stack Park for games with crowds of less than 8k, but like I pointed out, 5 of the 7 games in the latter stages were held in Tralee. Its only right (for Mid Kerry especially given the advantage Stacks have playing there) that the replay is played in Killarney.

I'd be far less concerned about the "atmosphere" than the fact that Killarney is a better stadium for the players. Also in Killarney if it turns out to be a miserable day, the stand is big enough to give everyone cover.

In some ways Mid Kerry got a raw deal with venue first day out
A few years ago they played a Killarney team in Killarney for the senior final and this year they played a Tralee team in Tralee for the final!!!
I think sending the replay to Killarney is fair - first game in Tralee second game in Killarney - cant really find much fault with it

Wheesie was priceless last sunday.... "We'll have to be fair about this now Ger, there is a way better atmosphere in Tralee for a county final". It sounded as though they had been sounding off about the venue all the way over from Killarney and then had a change of heart when they got there.

And given what you had side initially, I don't really want to carry on with anymore dialogue with you, so lets agree to leave it, you can have the last word on it...

Given the amount of rain currently falling and forecast, it could be just as well that the game is Killarney for the good surface there.
