Clare is a seriously good keeper and restarter of the game. A good few weeks back I raised the issue of Clarke's kickouts and a good few people didn't agree with me so kerrygold and anyone else who didn't agree what did you think of his kickouts the other day? Total disaster I would say. His sort of chips the ball but jesus he is better than Hennelly isnt he. He keeps his head.

Clarke used the tee as a decoy a few times. He put the ball on the tee signalling a long one and went short. On other occasions he didnt use the tee but went long. The mind games the goalies have to play nowadays are unreal.

The mind games the goalies have to play nowadays are unreal. Here's a free tip for the Kerry front 8. Clarke ALWAYS wants to kick it short because he is not able to kick it long. Kerry need to push right up every time the ball goes dead. Force him to kick it long and it will hang there just waiting for Moran Maher Buckley or whoever to attack. Why do you think Rockford went for the nuclear option in the replay last year in dropping Clarke? He obviously thought Dublin would run amok on Clarkes kick outs once he was forced to go long.

Dublin definitely spooked the Mayo line last year in relation to Clarkes restarts.

I might be wrong but I thought I saw too different height tees by Clarke thrown on the ground outside the restart area on the recording last night.

Connolly becomes eligible to play for Dublin from midnight Saturday - I expect him to be on the bench at least.
His suspension meant he was to have no involvement with the official team for 13 weeks - difficult to enforce I would suspect. Is this an honour thing or is it actually monitored? And what constitutes involvement with the team?

Finding a keeper who can keep his head, be a good shot stopper, be good under a high ball, be good at quick short kickouts and alsp be able to kick long and accurate is....difficult

Too much focus on kickouts, Clarke made some great saves the last day, and really martialled his Fullback area well. He gives them alot of confidence/security.
His main problem for the midfield area was that Aidan wasnt helping out there.
This was a brilliant game for the conditions, the pace and intensity was nonstop, and in contrast to the 2015 final in similar conditions both teams really went for it and scored 2-15. Like last year's final first game Mayo handled the conditions better and their 2-13 from play wasn't just because of Kerry's Fullbacks issue in the first half, it was the amount of attacks they applied because of good possession from deep. That in itself was because Kerry were not at the same pitch of intensity, quite like Dublin in the 2015 semifinal first game. That doesn't bode well for Mayo though on this occasion they actually were the better team for about 55 minutes.

Since when do people not from Ulster say 'hi'?
Another thought. Will Mayo be more negative the next day? It's what they may need to do to finally get a result again in such a game. Im full sure Kerry will continue to have sorted their defense out. Everybody expects Mayo to get picked off in a cagey game though, so they will need to play like they did in last years final and hope to score a little more.

Everybody expects Mayo to get picked off in a cagey game though, so they will need to play like they did in last years final and hope to score a little more. It could be something to do with all the people who moved here from Ulster centuries ago, although I think even some people in Kerry and other parts outside of Ulster say "hi" as well so....... If we play cagey then we will lose. I want to see us attack attack attack with quick balls into the forwards and players looking to get goals again. I'm not sure how much success we'll have with getting goals if Kerry play a sweeper though. I think we should have gone all-in last week by bringing Loftus on when the Kerry defence were at sixes and sevens. We weren't ruthless enough and that's our major flaw against the likes of Dublin or Kerry, we just can't seem to drive on when we're 3 or 4 points ahead. I know I'm sounding like Brolly now but he's right.

There was a fair slice of luck with the way the ball fell for Moran's goal. It will be interesting to see how Moran plays on Saturday.

This will be interesting. Both teams go in untested. Both teams are even in terms of injury and rest. The big question is can Tyrone handle a team who are most experienced at peaking for this time of year. It is 6 years since they played each other so there is a blank sheet here to play with. I saw Tyrone this year in championship and the dubs in league. My judgement is there will be another draw either in this game or the final as the GAA have had a slow year of draws. I called the draw last week although it was easy for the ref to blow that game up naturally rather than manufacture a draw.
For me I believe Tyrone will prevail as the Dubs have not played them in recent years and they have more to lose. The pressure will be on them.

Ronan McCarthy has been named as the man to succeed Peadar Healy as Cork football manager. They never learn in Cork football, do they? The deck chairs have been rearranged on board The Titanic once again. They needed a firebrand manager with serious management experience at the coalface of Inter County Championship Football. As things stand 95% of management candidates are ruled out due to time commitments. 30 years ago anyone could manage a team but now it has firmly become a full time. It's very much suited to men that are well off, secondary school teachers, retired folk etc. I would love if Kerry were to pick their next Manager from outside the County - hopefully this won't be for a very long time. But if the time came sooner rather than later the man I would love to see leading the Kingdom is Mickey Harte. By staying in house we are limiting ourselves to a Manager that wouldn't be up to the calibre of what has gone before...unless that is that Jack O'Connor is waiting in the wings for his 3rd stint. Mickey Harte is seen as a defensive manager but the respect he commands is truly amazing. He has rebuilt this Tyrone team into a serous outfit once again. He would do some serious damage with a Kerry panel especially the panel that is waiting around the corner.
