Assuming Kerry beat Clare Sunday there is a distinct possibility that some members of the Kerry subs bench will not have played a game of football for the month of June,July and August.If their team was involved in Round 3 of County Championship they may have played one at tops.When was the last time Fionn Fitzgerald played a match for example.I see Mickey Harte left his Tyrone players play last weekend,2 weeks prior to quarter final

It's absolutely ridiculous.there has been 5 or 6 rounds of county league played during the summer and no inter county player has played any of them. How can this be good for them in the long run? Whatever about protecting the starting team from injury,surely the subs should be getting some game time with their clubs.

You'd imagine that, even from management's point of view, the need for match practice should outweigh the risk of injury.

I think the general consensus is that Kerry would be training once at the weekend. The management don't want players doing two sessions a weekend. Also they would be playing an AvB at times over the last few weeks and they need the numbers for that |

Would it have been better for Johnny Buckley to get injured in a real match than in training? |
