If anyone is around Dublin and wants an adult and juvenile season ticket for Saturday send me a PM. At the last minute I cant go Leaving from Tralee, but if you can get it here I can look for someone at the game.

Given we matched an up and running Dgal I'd be thinking we'd be able for Maigh Eo though the home venue might have them keep their supporters keen by showing they can beat us. If Maigh Eo can again draw from the well and make the super 8 then I think they should get official recognition regardless. That they improved so much at the death last year is interesting in light of the new format - if tight games is the active ingredient then could it be their year? - of victory as oppose to more heartbreak. Someone said it wasn't cruel but sadistic, 2 and almost 3 own goals '16 AI final has neutrals asking about the curse and it is mind boggling, I suppsoe if you believe in that sort of stuff then the evidence is a bit compelling and if you don't then, well it is all a loada auld nonsense. If you were a Mayo supporter then do you begin to believe it? Only one solution and few would begrudge them at this stage, moreover their entertainment value.

We will have it all to do this Sat nite. Unless we can get an early foothold you'd have to fancy Mayo. In the long term this kerry team will win an all Ireland before Mayo ever win. When it comes to Sept they are simply never good enough to deliver victory

When it comes to Sept they are simply never good enough to deliver victory I'm sorry but that is a bit of a ridiculous statement. Mayo are currently far superior to Kerry imo and look the only team that can beat Dublin. Bit of a strange comment to completely dismiss them like that. Mayo are a seriously good outfit. I'd be fairly certain Dublin would rather play Kerry every day of the week rather than Mayo.

Has Denis Daly dropped off the panel? I presumed he was injured but saw he togged for UL the other day. I had heard he was highly rated within the camp. Ya I was surprised to see he didn't seem to be part of the set up this year. Could have made the difference in county final against Crokes if he had been fully fit in time. Best player on the pitch for me in the South Kerry final in December.

Mayo have been knocking on the door for a good while now and 2 years ago they probably had their best chance ever. In 2017 they had Andy Moran flying and should have won, but didn't. Whatever problem they have they can't seem to win games they should win. Kerry are not there yet, but we are improving all the time.It might be too early this year, but I do think they have a good chance this year of winning Sam.

Does anyone know when they are naming the team folks, usually it's Friday night I know but with the game on Saturday will they name it tonight ?. With Sigerson demands and the distance travelled by so many this week and again next week will he rest a few of them ?. I hope EF starts working on a defensive system sooner rather than later, Andy Moran will cause consternation on Saturday night if he is offered the freedom of "all space between the fourteen and forty" like the two games last year. Rochford wiped Eamon's eye in the replay last year so it will be interesting to see if he has learned from the tactics employed by Declan Bonner last Sunday by taking Jason Foley for a jaunt around the park while isolating McBrearty and Mac Naillais inside.

Friday night I believe. I've been impressed by Rochford and not so impressed with Eamon as of late. Eamon gets the match ups spot on, but Rochford seems to be a better reader of the game during a game and makes the changes necessary. Also not afraid to experiment or try something out of the ordinary.

Not surprising the odds are that way. The current Mayo team is under appreciated due to the 'bottlers' tag.

Mayo are the only side to throw Dublin out of their stride. I imagine EF is trying to replicate what Mayo do in this regard but its not working so far. Mayo dont leave all tbat space at the back. I was surprised by Mayo strong effort v Monaghan so early in the league.

I'd be fairly certain Dublin would rather play Kerry every day of the week As ridiculous as it sounds to you Paddy Powers have us second favoritrs ahead of mayo Not that I'd be encouraging gambling but Padraig Powers' odds are scewed towards us and Dubs, neutrals back us just to have a live bet running for say 6 months as opposed to losing their fiver on a nag in the next race, same applies to Dubs only their massive urban betting population reduces their odds even further. Padraig wouldn't get any bets only he supports the odds on these two at an artificial level, and so he takes a right hammering if either wins Sam. But of course what man giveth with wan paw he taketh with the other claw and you are as likely to see a poor bookie as you are to see a rich punter. Where it gets confusing is that the bookie will always have the poor mouth while the punter will never hesitate in bragging about how he caught out Padraig, and who would poor auld Padraig be to argue? Ballythefireside quote of the day - You will hear any number of rich punters but you will never see wan, unless of course you look in the mirror!

One thing in Kerry’s favour on Sunday is that Mayo should be blooding players too. The same squad has failed over the last 2 years so they need change.
Rochford has yet to win a Connaught. He has to go for that this year. He needs it for his legacy. Also a third year not winning an AI or Connaught could see him gone.
In both years he has used the backdoor to build up the team. That probably won’t be available this year so this is his chance to experiment.

It is undoubtedly true that Mayo is currently a better team than us and this has been the case for the past two years but "far superior" is a bit too much. Unfortunately the "far superior" tag could be more properly applied to comparisons with Dublin. Tomorrow night will be very interesting in terms of the ongoing Mayo v Kerry story. Mayo learned more from the corresponding match last season and brought it to their Championship games. Will we have learned anything from those games to bring to the Castlebar table?

You can't judge teams this early in the year. Particularly with the way sigerson is impacting. If Kerry go up and compete then that's success in my opinion. Back in 2013, we couldn't compete with the new players.

I am going to miss the Mayo match because I will be at the Gaeity Theatre to see a production of Sive. Will Eir sport show a recording in a few days time? If so, do they issue a guide as to what they intend to repeat? Do they have a designated night for such repeats?
A shame about missing this match but the booking for Sive was out of my hands. I look forward to seeing it in may case as it is a production by Druid Theatre..
Mayo put out a very strong team against Monaghan. I was surprised they had so many regulars on show. It will be a notable victory for the young lads if they pull this off. I would be satisfied with two points from the the two upcoming matches.

At least you will get some humour. The Mayo game will potentially be tough watching. Mayo need it as much as we do to find some new talent and they seem to be willing to use some of their excellent U21 players of last year this league. Players like Neil Douglas, Eoin O'Donoghue, Sharoidze Akram and so on are the new Mayo bunch and their future. I expect they will go similarly with their selection to last week. A team that left it very late to beat a Monaghan side with McManus. I think we have a chance to win it, we always do, but it will be tougher than last Sunday. I don't expect Kerry to win it, but maybe we get lucky. www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2018/0202/937914-kerry-mayo-league/By Peter Sweeney RTÉ Sport journalist
Kerry rarely travel anywhere with a point to prove. They are the heavyweights in the football world, after all.
They have more All-Ireland titles than any other county and when they come to visit the red carpet is regularly rolled out.
Their hosts might say that they mean business and they’re going to lay down a marker for the Kingdom, but truth be told they’re often star struck and caught in the headlights.
Mayo are one of the few counties who aren’t currently like that, along with Dublin and perhaps Tyrone and Donegal, and it will be to Castlebar on Saturday night that Kerry travel to and they most certainly will have a point to prove.
The Green Above the Red hadn’t beaten the Kingdom in a game of serious consequence since the 1996 All-Ireland semi-final before last year’s blowout at the same stage, when the Kingdom ended with 13 men and a five-point beating.
In public, manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice will point to his new-look team, all the first year players he has and the need to allow them time to find their feet at inter-county level.
Daithi Casey kicks the winner for Kerry against Donegal But behind the scenes he will also be impressing upon his foot soldiers the need to suppress this Mayo uprising with a strong showing at Elverys MacHale Park this weekend.
Kerry have earned the right to pass off springtime defeats as burning off the dirty petrol accumulated through the winter, though this is a game they will want to win.
From an Allianz League position perspective, there’s no great pressure on either Fitzmaurice or his opposite number in Mayo Stephen Rochford. Both recorded opening day victories, over Donegal and Monaghan respectively.
Two defeats on the bounce would cause worries about a relegation fight and that’s not something either man will have to concern themselves with regardless of the result on Saturday.
But this is a result that will matter to the Kingdom - last year’s embarrassing Championship exit won’t be forgotten that quickly.
Kerry are likely to have the newer-look team as Fitzmaurice runs the rule over the young talent that is coming through from four consecutive All-Ireland minor winning sides, including the prodigiously talented David Clifford.
Mayo's Eoin O'Donoghue gets his kick away under pressure against Monaghan Mayo haven’t got the same reservoir of talent at their disposal, though it’s no surprise that Rochford has rested some of his players that have been on the road so long - but not Andy Moran, it seems he’s bursting to play every game he can.
Against Monaghan in Clones the likes of Neil Douglas, Shane Nally and Eoin O’Donoghue had their chance to stake their place.
Last year Mayo and Kerry played out two hugely entertaining All-Ireland semi-finals. The first ended in a draw, with All Star forward Aidan O’Shea playing as an orthodox full-back on Kingdom dangerman Kieran Donaghy.
In the replay, O’Shea spent long spells at full-back as well, but he moved the former Footballer of the Year around the pitch too and eventually Donaghy got himself sent off.
Goals from Diarmuid O’Connor and Andy Moran sealed Mayo’s win, with only Paul Geaney’s ten-point haul and James O’Donoghue’s 0-03 off the bench keeping Kerry afloat in a 2-16 to 0-17 defeat.

I would be interested in your match report on Sive with the debuts of Tommy Tiernan and a very talented young woman called Radie Peat who i happen to know. She is a great musician and singer but this is her first time on stage

On my way to Mayo but I do not expect us to do well with our young starlets against 12 Mayo regulars. If the pitch is soft it will be a hammering. Donegal were very average and whilst they were big they were not as physically as mayo will be. 8 of our boys played Sigerson during the week wheras only 3 mayo lads played, I made two of the games and all the Kerry lads tired in the second half. Clifford was very tired in second half against Queens but he still got enough energy to move out to midfield pick up a ball and drive through 3 players and lay of a great ball to the corner forward who slotted home the winner.He stood up when required there is no fear of this guy what a joy to watch him play. I hope a big crowd turn up next Tuesday night at 6.30 in ASP to see him play DIT. Tralee should win this to put them in the semi final for the first time in 19 years.
