To be honest with the way both are playing-you're probably right. I have no idea what Conor Keane will do but I think lads should go stateside to be honest- great experience, loads of craic and earn some cash- better than trying to scrape a job here Has anyone in the history of the J1 actually made money out of it??? I dont mean that you'll bring home cash but you'll hopefully end up with enough to do some travelling around or at least break even- beats trying to get a few hours in centra

Very possible, everybody so far on this thread is taking it as a given he will start but I'm not so sure. If everybody fit I'd go for the following based on amount of football played, the league, etc. Kealy Murphy Griffin Enright Lyne Crowley Young Maher Moran O'Brien Sheehan Buckley O'Donoghue Donaghy Geaney With appearances from Fionn Fitzgerald, Marc O'Sé/Aidan O'Mahony, Donnchadh Walsh, Colm Cooper, Barry John Keane and Tommy Walsh. Can you afford to not start Marc, Mahony nd gooch with cork a few weeks later agree with this selection for first 15 - alot of experience on bench if needed and hopefully with 20 minutes to go and "coasting" will be able to bring on Donncha, Gooch to get game time... - - Tommy Walsh not up to this level of pace yet though.

Does anyone know how long Paul Murphy will be out for? A big loss. Heard there is other injury concerns too?

Would have been hard to see how much more game time Kieran would have got this year with so much competition for places, but tough luck to see his year finish like this if that's how it works out.

Those who go out on a j1 playing football usually make money. More often than not they would get their j1 fee reimbursed by the club they are spending the summer with. Jobs and accommodation are often offered to these players also. Conor Keane would certainly make money because he would be considered to be a serious player and he would get flights, a job and accommodation and perhaps a couple of quid aswell.

Out - Paul Murphy (Shoulder), Kieran O'Leary (Achilles, Season)
Doubts - JOD (thigh), Gooch (?) and Moran (Shoulder)
Eamo will be giving a full injury briefing on Thursday, presumably when the team is announced.

I'm not sure what the link is between the Gooch and the chemical elements Carbon and Erebium that they've highlighted in his name?!?

Donnachadh is a doubt as well and more than likely not going to feature from what I hear.

I'd imagine whoever did the graphics just copied the design from Breaking Bad as the rest of the background and the heading "All Hail the King" is a rip-off of a Breaking Bad poster.

Yeah I was looking at something and someone commented "All Hail the King" regarding the Gooch so I just worked from there.

I am sorry that Kieran O'Leary sustained that serious injury. I have occasionally been critical of him here, feeling that he is scarcely a first choice selection. He has oodles of ability but seemed to lack that smidgen of bite which would elevate him a notch or two at inter county level. However, there is no denying he is/was a very important panel member.
If Kieran never achieves any more at intercounty level, he will forever be remembered for that equalising point against Mayo last year. That wasn't an easy score and he could have easily laid it off to somebody else to take the responsibility. It was a gutsy effort and revealed a nerve which I thought he did not possess. And I had a fine view of it , sitting in the Canal end! Thanks for that Kieran, and indeed for a lot more. Speedy recovery.
P.S. I hope this catalogue of injuries is not going to continue.

Mikey Sheehy says Kerry won’t play Tommy Walsh at full-back
Tuesday, June 09, 2015
By Eoghan Cormican
Tommy Walsh will not be handed the number three shirt for Kerry’s Munster football championship opener against Tipperary on Sunday, selector Mikey Sheehy has indicated.
All-Ireland winning-manager Éamonn Fitzmaurice hinted earlier this year the returning Walsh could emulate his father by lining out for Kerry at full-back and while Sheehy accepts the Kingdom have problems in defence to contend with, it is unlikely that Walsh will be stationed in front of ‘keeper Brendan Kealy this weekend.
Kerry boasted the highest concession rate (9-90) of the eights teams operating in Division 1 of the league this spring and their defensive options for the trip to Thurles could be strained if All Star corner-back Paul Murphy fails to recover from a shoulder injury picked up during last week’s warm weather training camp in Portugal.
“Defensively we will have to improve and we’ll be hoping to do that in the Championship,” said Sheehy.
“We’re working very hard on tackling. It wouldn’t do in the Championship what we threw out in most games in the league.
“It has been said before about Tommy [Walsh] at full-back. I have heard several people saying it but we haven’t tried it yet.
“You can pick a guy at number three, but he need not necessarily be playing at number three the way guys have to change positions.
“People are going to have to be patient with Tommy. He’s been away since the end of 2009. It’s a different game. Two-years ago he had a very serious injury. He tore his hamstring off the bone. He’s fine fitness-wise but we have to be patient with him in relation to his football. He’ll have a major role to play at some stage during the year.”
Colm Cooper tasted just eight minutes of league action and with fellow talisman James O’Donoghue sitting out the entire league through injury, Sheehy urges patience to allow the pair readjust to championship fare.
“Everybody will say because James is back after missing the league and Colm is back after missing 12 months that Kerry are going to be better. It doesn’t work that way. You still have to go out and perform.”
When pressed for his views on the current state of the game, Sheehy credited Jim McGuinness for fostering the changed and, at times, radical thinking of managers and the defensive systems cultivated.
“The game now is totally different. The preparation is frightening. We’d never have survived.
“I enjoy it because if you come against an ultra-defensive team it’s a great opportunity to try and unravel their system. It’s fascinating. The game has evolved totally. You have to have a different game-plan for each opposition. We went out with a game plan in the All-Ireland final last year and we’d be quite happy to do it again this year if we thought we’d win it again.
“I suppose you could say McGuinness’ impact has been like that of Mick O’Dwyer and Kevin Heffernan in the 70’s. He has radically changed the game.”

Yes veteran, hopefully this pattern won't continue. Any loss to the panel is a worry and as you said Kieran proved his worth when it really counted last year.
It will be interesting to see what team takes shape for Sunday. The last competitive game is a distant memory and Tipp have the advantage of a game already.

All shoulders to the wheel as Kerry footballers get ready to roll Injury problems beset the defending champions ahead of Sunday’s opener
Ian O'Riordan, the Irish Times.
At the time it was a perfectly innocent throwaway remark. Days before Kerry headed to last week’s pre-championship training camp in the Algarve, their footballer of the year James O’Donoghue prayed out loud that one of his team mates “absolutely lays me out, and I’ll be fine after that”.
That, said O’Donoghue, was the only way to put his recovery from a shoulder injury to the absolute test.
While O’Donoghue looks to have come safely through that test, their All Star defender Paul Murphy has been left praying for the opposite.
Murphy, who was also man-of-the-match in Kerry’s All-Ireland final win over Donegal last summer, was apparently laid out by one of his team mates in Portugal, injuring his shoulder in the process.
While not as serious as the injury which forced O’Donoghue to undergo an operation last November – and with that sit out all of Kerry’s league campaign – Murphy will be forced to miss Kerry’s opening defence of their Munster and All-Ireland titles against Tipperary, this Sunday at Semple Stadium.
He’s not alone. Manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice may have timed last week’s training camp to maximise championship fervour, following Kerry’s 10-week break since their last competitive game in the league. But it looks to have cost them Dr Crokes forward Kieran O’Leary, after he tore his Achilles tendon.
O’Leary was joint Kerry captain last summer, sharing the honour with Fionn Fitzgerald, also from Dr Crokes (their regular starter, at corner back). O’Leary did make several appearances last summer, including the All-Ireland final, where he replaced Kieran Donaghy.
The injury worries don’t end there, with the likes of Marc Ó Sé (ankle), Killian Young (groin), and David Moran (shoulder) all carrying some problems from the last round of league games. Whether or not Fitzmaurice will test them on Sunday remains to be seen. It means Kerry could be without half of the defence which started the All-Ireland final last September, should Young and Ó Sé miss out, along with Murphy.
There is speculation that Tommy Walsh, the most prominent addition this year after returning from Australia, may play a defensive role, possibly even at full back, although that looks unlikely. Paul Galvin, also back on board this year, is more likely to feature in defence, if anywhere.
One player certain to feature on Sunday is Colm “Gooch” Cooper, in what will be his first championship appearance for Kerry since his cruciate injury in February, 2014. Cooper came on for the last six minutes of Kerry’s final league game against Tyrone on April 5th. It remains to be seen where Fitzmaurice decides to utilise him.
O’Donoghue describes Cooper’s return to the panel as “like a new signing,” and says he’s equally capable of slotting back in at either centre forward, or as an inside forward.
“It’s something that will just click or it won’t,” he says. “I don’t know who is going to line out where, but hopefully, once we get time on the field together, things will start moving in different directions, and it will just kind of happen itself.”
Tipperary are seeking their first championship victory over Kerry since 1928 (when they won a Munster semi-final, 1-7 to 2-3). More recently, Kerry have won their last four meetings by an average of 11.5 points.
Yet O’Donoghue, like most people it seems, would be reluctant to agree to any abolition of the Munster championship. “If you put a system to me, I could say yes or no, but I don’t know how they would change it ... It’s a tough one. I wouldn’t want to make the decision.”

If that Kerry team posted by Greengold35 take the field on Sunday it will contain eight players that didn’t start last years All Ireland final. If they were to win, which I expect they will, it would be a great yardstick of the strength in depth of the panel and give the side a great boost. I think that is the 15 that will start except some of the numbers on their backs might vary slightly!

As a Tipp supporter I can say that I don't expect to win but I do expect a great performance followed by a good showing in the qualifiers.
By the way,Mike Quirke's article in the Examiner is some load of condescending crap.....can't believe that they'd actually pay him for that.
