I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that John wasn't in agreement with the team selection for the All Ireland minor final perhaps...but maybe there's more to it than that.

To be honest I'd say Kearney only got the start because he was Captain

I would agree didn't work with Kearney out of position dropping your top scorer who granted didn't have a great semi final and not starting carey seemed strange decisions but at the end of the day jack is the man who won a tom Markham after 20 years hard to argue with that and he must have the final say

We dont win a minor for years and we have a go at every manager- we then win one and some of his decisions are still questioned?
Every coach makes mistakes- some would even perceive it to be a strength that they were willing to accept that and change it at half time. Jack and his staff got a job to do and they did it

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. JOC took difficult (and unpopular in some quarters) decisions and put our minor squad in a place where they could win the ultimate prize. There are a hell of a lot of good (some great even) footballers that played minor over the past 20 years that would gladly have sat on the bench of a winning team. To JOC and his entire back room team thank you. To those willing and able to give it another 12 months, the very best of luck.

As supporters let us enjoy the performance of the minors in 2014. From an early stage they appeared well coached and played a lovely brand of football when allowed. It never fails to amaze me the amount of people who look to pick holes in what Jack and his team achieved. As a person who follows underage football it gave me great joy to see this years minors reach the summit. Congratulations to all involved and best of luck in trying to do the same in 2015.

Glenflesk men Daniel O'Brien and Lee O'Donoghue are performing very well for the sem seniors. Could we see a kerry team with two Glenflesk players on it next year??

I think Spillane The Younger is the dead stamp of his father Tom - his size, economy of movement, atheticism, his 'daddy-long' legs, his 'tidyness', his 'gamees' & his football brain. I agree too that there is a smidgin of a resemblance with Tommy & Barry John Walsh - it may be his size & hair colour that's causing me to think that.

I hear Evan Cronin is contemplating leaving the game for a career in martial arts? Under the guidance of St Brendan's college teacher and European champion martial artist Evan has been touted as a potential future champion in the UFC. There's a possibility that he may have to make a decision on his future over the winter and he may be tempted by the allure of the professional game..

Comparisons here of Killian reminds me of an evening in Tomaisins pub in Lisselton with the ball high in the air. The Law of Averages, (I.e. us avearge people) chewed the cud for a good hour on the contrasts between Tadhg Kennelly who could play anywhere from 2-14 and his dad who was a 2-7 man. Ah everyone threw in their tuppenny bit and of course as you'd expect, substance was substituted with such quantity that you had to wait your turn to get your word in edge ways. Noel and the grandfather Mickey were even discussed at length, fellas trying justify crazy notions with the wheels of the tongue becoming increasingly well oiled, and me near enough the middle!
Then the door opens and in walks Eddie Dowling and the mention of the subject under review led to what would be the conclusion, ' a dandy footballer'. End of story, next subject.
I wouldn't say the margin is quiet as wide here (I.e. between the footballers as opposed to the commentators) and I'd also imagine that the roving style today and the erosion of positional play is also a factor, but there is an element of resonance to it, and sure isn't it a great story too!
The Eddies of the world settle a lot of disputes and I had a similar experience with one Mick Finnucane of an evening. I am sure that others have found the same, and as I have with current players when they quench an argument.
Now for a few dandy commentators!

1 QF Clare v Kerry Austin Stack Park Tralee 2 QF Cork v Limerick Gaelic Grounds Limerick 3 QF Tipperary v Waterford Semple Stadium Thurles 4 Play-Off Losers of 2 v Losers of 3 5 Play-Off Losers of 1 v Winner of 4 6 SF Winner of 1 v Winner of 2 7 SF Winner of 3 v Winner of 5 Final Winner of 6 v Winner of 7
So Clare in Tralee is the first game.
Win that and it's the winner of Cork or Limerick in the Semi-final.
Lose the first game and Kerry will play whoever wins between the the losers of (Cork v Limerick) and (Tipperary v Waterford) for a Semi-final place.
Clear as mud

Lose to Clare (on purpose) and we'll probably be in an all Ireland quarter final.Win and youre facing the possibility of losing to Cork and being out of action before June!
System is messed up where its more beneficial to get beat in first round!
This is of course going by the old assumption that Cork and Kerry are ahead of the other teams which mightn't be the case either!

I personally believe that paul clarke from crokes was impressive in the minor final could make it on the panel next year as a midfielder (6 foot 6) good pair of hands also

If Kerry can put a really good competitive minor team again next year with so many of this years team overage well then the structures put in place by the co board are really bearing fruit. winning this year was evidence they are but a good team next year would really be a further positive indicator

any idea of how this panel is shaping up and what the team is likely to be? a few lads had the team 90% spot on last year months in advance, so would be interesting to hear their thoughts.
