I myself was at the game in crokes this evening. From a stand point of view I found the referee and the linesman very biased towards kenmare from the beginning. Throughout the game the referee was giving kenmare lots of breaks and seemed queit harsh on crokes giving red and black cards at will. Personally I could see where the players and management where coming from as this sort of referring in county championship is unacceptable. Crokes are a very strong and disciplined side as I have been at many games this rear and I feel sympathy for them as they have worked so hard and to be hard done by by poor referring isn't right. Hope something is done about this

I ventured into the big city of Killarney to watch crokes take on kennmare. I am truely dissapointed at how biased the ref and linesman were against crokes. I myself am neutral from rathmore gaa club and it is truely and utterly unfair I hope that there is research into how badly the dr crokes were treated by the ref and linesman. At times the ref didn't have a clue what was going on. Thanks tom.

I watched an outstanding game of football tonight in killarney.Dr crokes and kenmare district both performed well but kenmare coming out on top. A fair game played wel by both teams but from a neutral perspective I thought it was an absoloute disgrace by the officials at the game. A lack of honesty and fair play cost the Crokes a place in the semi finals.

Was at the Crokes/Kenmare match this evening. Very good performance by Kenmare to go through to the semis. Crokes discipline cost them having a man sent to the line for two yellows towards the end of the first half. This made life difficult for them and Kenmare to their credit made the extra man count. No real stand out individuals but a very solid team performance, they will be hard to beat. The stand out thing for me at this match was the amount of Crokes officials and subs on the line. Their behaviour was shameful towards the officials throughout. The linesman was subject to intimidation from the officials and subs during a number of incidents in the second half in particular. Crokes had one team official sent outside the fence and he stood about 10 yds away from me and continued to roar abuse at the officials for the remainder of the game. I heard one Crokes mentor actually threaten the linesman so he could be in deep water for this if the referee's report has any of this in it. On a number of occasions the vile abuse spued towards the linesman and referee was disgusting. They felt they had a divine right to get every decision from the referee and when they didn't get the call the abuse flowed. I hope the referee is strong in his report, because this for me, spoiled an otherwise enthralling encounter. On the final whistle the Crokes players and subs surrounded the referee and linesman shouting and roaring abuse. On the whole, I felt the referee had a good game from a neutral standpoint. He tried to let the game flow as much as possible and the big decisions he got right through consulting his officials. In a tight game the Kenmare sideline were very controlled and held their heads whereas the Crokes line lost the cool and this ultimately lost them the match. From experience I have a feeling the referee will be delighted he was the main focus of the game. They say the good refs are the ones nobody talks about after.

Any Report from the East Kerry v Mid Kerry Game? Seems East Kerry very good or Mid Kerry very Poor. Was at Feale Rangers V St. Kieran's game. Kieran's have a lot of under 17 on their team 11 started. Very well drilled.
St. Brendan's dark horses very strong down the middle.
When is draw for semi finals?

Went to Cordal tonight to watch st Kireans v Feale Rangers, not a bad game but Kireans on top from start the ref tried to make a game of it to be honest ,2 penalties given , out of the kerry minors Adam Doughue was best Barry mahony and Sean o connell had a great tussel at midfield Eddie horan and Eddie browne likewise. Kireans are a good well drilled side and will be hard to beat but I still can't see past east kerry (is it 12 players invloved with kerry minors and U17 ). Was back at this game myself, they were two of the most clearcut penalties you'll ever see! Kierans on this performance haven't a hope one would think, no defensive structure and 4 goals conceded you'd have to wonder what the management were thinking, seemed to be pure panic at times. Cant see this management guiding this skillful kierans team to a county title, when is the semi final draw?

Would agree do on that performance they won't win it but they did beat east kerry already all be it without Cilford. St Brendans could be the team to cause an upset seem to be very solid outfit. Anyou date or draw for semi finals ??

We were robbed. The ref was a disgrace. Nothing you can do about it. It happens far too much in games at all age groups. That's a sorry fact. East Kerry still the team to beat. Kierans will put it up to them but if East Kerry have a full team then I can only see one winner.
Brendans have done very well. Ryan O'Neill(Na Gaeil) and Diarmuid O'Connor(Na Gaeil) would be their Kerry Minors. They do have good solid players all over the field who would make other County teams. Fergal Barry(Na Gaeil)good back. He's on the Kerry U17s. Mikey Kelleher(Mitchels) he's on the U17s. Dara Devine(Na Gaeil)and Eoin McElligott(Ardfert)two more good forward. Brian O'Regan(Ardfert)good Goalkeeper. Jack Myers(Mitchels) good back.
They have a good team but I think they won't beat Kierans or East Kerry.

Kerry are due to play U-17 & minor semis on August bank holiday week end - no change ; U-17s play Roscommon who beat Galway 2-8 to 1-8. U-17 & minor Connacht finals were fixed for same week end with Galway involved in both - the U-17s played with the minors which deprived the U-17s of 5/6 players.

Hope something is done about this I don't know what game you were watching..... We all seem very quick to jump all over the referee and the linesman and lay no blame at all with the players and team mentors! the red card for Crokes player was two yellows, one for a blatant pull on a guy who was straight through on goal and the second for digging a knee into his opponent who was on the deck ( thought this could have been a straight red myself). I couldn't argue with either decision. The black cards for Crokes (two from what I recall) were a Crokes player taking his opponent out as he ran towards the ball with a trip, fairly clear cut and the second one was for a player pulling his opponent to the ground which I thought was well spotted by the linesman. He grabbed his markers hand under his arm and pulled him back off the ball and down to the ground on the far side from the ref so he couldn't see it but the linesman behind him spotted it. Very good and fair call if you asked me! The linesman was then subjected to roaring abuse for the rest of the match after this which was entirely unwarranted and unfair. I thought he Crokes line were well out of order with their behaviour. I was a neutral there and said I'd fit the game in on my way from work and delighted I did as it was an enthralling encounter but Crokes need to look inward and stop blaming the ref. Their own discipline cost them, you can't go onto the pitch and behave badly and think you have a divine right to get away with it.

I don't know what game you were at but I can count at least 5 black cards Kenmare got away with for off the ball stuff etc. They got dubious calls all night. He was giving them frees for nothing. It was obvious he didn't want the Crokes to go through. This is guy should not be a ref at U12 level not to mind Minor level. You say you are neutral. That post is totally anti Crokes.

I was obviously in the same section as peter01 and saw the same game. ciarrailar evidently had a better vantage point as he/she had a clear view of every incident. I agree the red card was completely justified, the combo of 2 clear yellow card offences and this had a major bearing on the outcome given it occured before halftime. The one blackcard I saw was dubious to say the least and was given on the linesman advice while the ref attended to an injured player in midfield. In fact the immobile bespectacled official reffed the game from midfield leaving all the major decisions to his one linesman and umpires, or indeed the crowd roar on occasion. Surely better available for a Minor Champ QF. The Crokes line didn't cover themselves in glory and should have removed their young subs from the touchline but neither linesman or ref sought to get the subs back into the dugout and in my opinion the linesman seemed to thrive on confrontation. Also the Crokes should have exerted more restraint at the final whistle but despite justifiably losing a man and missing a penalty they were not the sole authors of their downfall last evening Don't know about a better vantage point for every incident but I was on the terrace between the two dugouts and could see and hear clearly everything going on on the line. The poor linesman had about 20 crokes officials and subs to deal with and from what I could see he had a job on his hands to keep them off the pitch so he could run the line. I actually felt sorry for him lol. I'm 100% he was right for the black card. You're correct in that the ref wasn't the most mobile on the night so a lot was left to the umpires and linesman which like you say is less than ideal for a championship quarter final. The Crokes player whom I won't name, grabbed his opponent's hand under his arm and locked it, then fell back and dragged him to the ground on the far side from the referee. The referee wouldn't have a chance of seeing this as like you say he was miles away but he still blew for a free. I thought it was a brave call by the linesman considering the Crokes mentors and subs all around but ultimately he was right. Personally, I'd prefer to have linesmen who take part in the match and make these calls rather than the norm where they seem to have no eyes or mouth on them at all..... As for the linesman thriving on confrontation, I think with the numbers that were around and the abuse that was being fired in his direction, the main confrontation was coming from the subs and officials..... I'm not normally soft on officials and for a fact a lot of them aren't up to scratch but I felt the abuse from the mentors and subs on this occasion was way out of order and no official should be subjected to it.

The reality is I couldn't care less who won last night. I came to watch what I felt would be (and to be fair, was) a cracking game of football. You need to remove the Rose tinted glasses. Crokes had the opportunities and didn't convert. I think blaming the sun, the stars and their brothers doesn't mask the fact that discipline ultimately cost them. They played the whole second half with 14 men. They still fought on bravely to be fair to them but painting them whiter than white doesn't wash.

MFF - To your point above about the Kierans under 16s. I have no interest in going to watch challenge games. I only go to minor level upwords so I can't comment on what went on at u-16, I would have assumed that a management team at u-16 level would remain there though as you're only teaching them how to pick the ball up etc. All I'm saying is at a minor level, where you really see the sport starting to be played at a high level is that this management team seemed out of its depth as there was no defensive structure in place and that caused a concession of 4 goals. Luckily the kierans had some skillful players on the night who dragged their team over the line. So where your from ye only teach them at U16 to pick the ball up right and etc? Well ya 4 goals is bad but only 5 points so can't be all that bad and 2 from the spot. I won't be replying to any more silly comments by you.You obviously have an issue with the Kireans management.

I am actually a farranfore man, and if you look at my comments iain't defending the management I am only stating the facts, Micheal Cahill is the manager from cordal and as I said ere before I think his actually a good young coach. And yes I do agree with you on one thing and that is in think East kerry be too good when Clifford is playing.

I don't know what you're thinking but I certainly think all the st Kieran's defence looked comfortable throughout the game and weren't in a spot of bother apart from the first penalty they gave away which was a clear cut penalty. The other penalty was just a hopeless attempt by the ref to make a game of it. I think they'll be a hard team to beat even though they have an extremely young team with 11 starters U17

Any Idea when the Draw will be Made for Semi- Finals ? When are these games fixed for ?
If both teams win Under 17 and Minors will these games be put back until both teams are finished, Just wondering.

The semi final draw for the Keane's SuperValu Killorglin Minor Football Championship was made live on Kerry GAA TV on Thursday evening and resulted in the following pairings:
East Kerry vs St. Kierans Kenmare District vs St. Brendans
The semi finals will be played at neutral venues on August 23rd.
I can only assume this is a tentative date for the fixture - should the U17's progress to the AI final it (and the D1 league final) may be pushed out as the U17 final is scheduled for August 27th.

Whatever about recovery (they are young!!) - they are getting no time to practice and prepare with their division in advance of their county games. There is a terrible sense that minor championship and u21 competitions are seen as problems for the fixture makers and end up being rammed into the calendar to get the competition finished. Minor players have spent very little time with their clubs in the past eight months - very similar to the senior situation.

Both Games Definitely going ahead.
Kieran's V East Kerry. Very young St. Kieran's side, most of last years under 16 Co. Championship team. St Kieran's don't have a back to handle David Clifford. Only one outcome East Kerry win. Kenmare V St. Brendan's. St Brendan's impressed me. Good Balance to their team, the will be looking to Diarmuid O Connor for leadership. I'm going for St Brendan's.
