Keegan free to play. Obviously you can do anything once your not a Kerry player, more specifically Galvin or Tomas! usual bull from the suits.

Keegan's appeal was successful and he's eligible to play on Saturday. Don't know how that happened!

Hopefully Keegan's successful appeal will galvanise our lads. Shocking decision, which makes a mockery of the rule book. Great to see O'Brien in, will be the difference

Surprised by Keegan being let off, it'd be interesting to see why. Apparently Connolly was allowed to play in the 2011 final because Deegan had forgotten to take his name and jersey number.

I would have given a YC but on appeal you would think you would have to go by the rulebook. I am not even angry though. Between this appeal and also the furore over the venue I believe that Mayo are distracted. I am glad that Kerry have almost always taken their red-card medicine and have not gone down the road of appeal. Just because other counties do it doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. I hope he got off on a technicality because otherwise this is just bull*. I mean it is not even as if there was a massive uproar over it --- most people accepted it as a red card (although I thought at the time I thought maybe the ref could have turned a half-blind-eye).

Granted the red was harsh, but begs the question why do we have a rule book at all. Kind of feel sorry for Goldrick now, he had a bad game otherwise, but this is hanging him out to dry for doing what he is trained to be the right thing to do. Very unfair on him and other referee's, a gutless organisation.

My guess is that there was some kind of argument that it was a "flick" rather than a "kick" or some other such nonsense:
"5.2 To kick or attempt to kick an opponent, with minimal force."
is a red card offence as per the rulebook.

Sympathy decision again. It was clearly a red. Connolly's one had some element of doubt in that it was half a push that went up to the chin and there was alot of provocation. Sure Keegan was ok for the final anyway should Mayo have used his absence as the motivation to win the replay.
I actually fancy Kerry more to win now after that.

What a farce of a sport. It's a red card offence that carries a suspension and he's been left off, why? Surely the reasons should be made public. Lynch was cleared against us in 06, O Leary in 07, Miskella in 09, Connolly in 11 and now this. Surely no other county has endured a record like this over the last few years, it's beyond belief what the GAA has done in the last week

Same team as the last day Great choice of team. Mayo were probably working out plans for a Kerry team with Kieran Donaghy, Declan O Sullivan & Brian Sheehan in it. All this second guessing and trying to figure out what to do if this team is named or that team is named must have some energy sapping and confusing element in it for the opposition. Anyway, the Kerry team is strong and the panel is strong. Here's wishing them all the best on Saturday evening. One other little point I'll make is that there is a very strong Kerry support in Limerick, particularly West Limerick. This is due to its close proximity to North Kerry & a lot of inter-marriages have taken place down the centuries. I remember travelling on the Kerry supporters bus years ago & last stop was Foynes where we took on board a West Limerick man & his son decked out in green & gold. All his people came from Kerry & if Kerry were playing Limerick, he'd be proudly wearing the green & gold. Sadly, that same man will be watching the game on Sat eve from a higher plain.

"Mayo defender Lee Keegan has been cleared to play in Saturday's All-Ireland football semi-final replay with Kerry following a hearing at the Central Hearings Committee. The two-time All Star was sent off by referee David Coldrick in the 33rd minute after appearing to kick out in the direction of Johnny Buckley. However Keegan took his case to the CHC and at a meeting tonight they agreed that he should be made available for selection for Saturday's showdown at Limerick. Mayo manager James Horan had delayed announcing his team pending the hearing and will reveal his line-up on Friday."
Well that's clear reasoning then.

I know what you're saying but you'd have to ask where has it ever got us doing the honourable thing ? Did we just set ourselves up for more suspensions because they figured we'd put up with it. Ah f*ck it, who cares ? - I'm more interested in who we have available than who they have.

Now Kerry lets have you.This is the type of motivation we need.Ah,the creatures haven't won the All Ireland for 63 years and are the darlings of the media,everybody wants them to win outside of Kerry,we cant let little things like rules and rulebooks stand in the way.Were we in Croke Park at all last week?its Mayo,Mayo on TV newspapers etc all week.Let Mayo win at all costs.This happening is worth a couple of motivating points to us and we in Kerry fear no player.

I think this result of letting Keegan off will backfire on Mayo. They cant use the victim card now & the "cmon lads, let's do it for Lee Keegan" They've gone from the high moral ground of feeling victimized to having a man on their team (I presume they'll select him) who clearly was red carded & should be serving a ban.
