Crokes bringing back on two fellas they had taken off, one of them injured, suggests they don't have that strong a panel after all.

Two close games plus extra time. Great value for E16.00- admission plus E1 for programme.
Can Radio Kerry possibly get someone other than Ambrose in the commentary box for Crokes games? At least make some attempt at neutrality. It's laughable at this stage.

Ah I dunno. Once you factor in the inherent bias, sit back and enjoy the entertainment.
When SK went 4 points up yesterday he told us it would take 3 scores beat it.
He had lost it completely at that stage.
Great fun i have to say.

South Kerry had a free to go 4 points up near the end of extra time. When it went wide Ambrose said this was 'as good as a score'.
Ball goes straight down the other end and in to the back of the net. Enough said.

Over the 80 mins or so the game was on yesterday i'd be interested to know how many times they actually say the score. At one point yesterday Ambrose was talking about people have their fire let for the evening!

Also they did not know Daithi Casey hadn't started the game until he came on as a sub in 2nd half.
Concentrate on the game a small bit lads and spend less time trying to be comedians.

Still, i enjoyed the commentary yesterday. Too many mid Atlantic accents on the radio nowadays. Its refreshing to tune in to RK.

At one stage yesterday Ambrose couldn't figure out how someone got a yellow card for a high tackle. He thought it should be black. The least you would expect from someone doing analysis is that they know the rules.

David Clifford was virtually unremarkable yesterday. His point scoring was worth the admission fee alone.

The radio kerry commentary is shocking most of the time, they talk about everything bar what’s happening on the pitch. They could do with cutting out the not so comical stuff & update people what’s actually happening. East Kerry scores a point yesterday & the next we heard was the Brendan’s goalie taking a 45 so he had kicked out the ball, it had gotten to the other end of the pitch, gone out of play & he was preparing to kick it before the lads decided to tell us what was going on. Ambrose wasn’t commentating on the first game but it gets to another level when he’s on.

I agree with some points on the Radio Kerry commentary above but ye are a bit harsh on the two lads overall. I think they do a fair enough job.
Re giving the score - this is the same with every single radio commentary with every other sport.

I enjoy the Radio Kerry coverage for the most part.
Some of the chat and ball hopping between Tim and Ambrose can be entertaining, just not at the sake of actual detail on the match.

Will be down in Killarney for the weekend I might go to the semi finals. Am i tight in thinking Dr Crokers are the only club team left who can win county championship . Who won the club championship or is this still on going . Club championship was won by Austin Stacks back in late April...beat Dr. Crokes by 6 points in the final. Dr. Crokes will represent Kerry in the Munster Club if they win the county championship OR if the championship is not completed before the Munster club game. Austin Stacks will represent Kerry in the Munster club only if a divisional side win the championship. As of now, the Munster club game that Kerry will feature in is set for 17 Nov against the winner of Nemo Rangers or Oola/Newcastlewest. Enjoy the weekend in Killarney and give us a report on the games and the weekend in general when you can. Had a great weekend in Killarney , unfortunetly instead of getting to Fitzgerald park where i wanted to be, i was under pressure to bring the kids sight seeing. Went to Ross Castle and torc waterfall . Some stunning sights and youngest who loves taking photos got some great snaps. Town was buzzing Saturday and Sunday night, between Rugby ,Soccer and Gaa a lot of people in good form But generally good natured. The Hotel we stayed in turned off the soccer in one part of bar area to allow a few of us watch the Dublin Club championship on RTE on Saturday evening. Enjoyed reading the Kerry eye this morning in a coffee shop. , a good spread on the club scene. Although i think it was last weeks edition. Just when i thought i had a good handle on the club championship and the county championship in Kerry . I see there is divisional championships as well. East Kerry look good with the two Cliffords Bryan Sheehan must be at least 15 years playing in Championship for South Kerry . Seen a picture of himself and Maurice Fitz around 2004 after winning the county championship. I can see the benefit that divisional teams gives to guys like these and may more, who otherwise wouldn't get to play Senior championship. Although whats the emotion like winning for a divisional team compared to your own club , I have to admit i like the format and throws up some great battles. As for Dublin championship i definetly didn't see Kilmacud Crokes losing to Thomas Davis. Although Paul Mannion was a big loss . There's not one player on the Thomas Davis team in the Dublin panel , yet they have got to the final a great achievement and maybe there is more of the journey to go . Boden will rightly be huge favourites , The Basquel brothers are real danger men for Boden , but you never know.

i dont get the seemingly regular complaints about RK commentary here....
i think they offer an excellent service and people are being ultra picky just for the sake of it. very few local radio stations have their coverage of GAA.
appreciate them ffs.

Rarely listen to them as I go to as many games as possible and I hear snippets alright and in general I think they do a great job,great service for those unable to travel.Having said that everyone knows Tim has a soft spot for 1 club in particular and he finds it hard to hide.

RK provide a good service and I tune in when I can’t make it matches but it’s not unreasonable to say that the standard of commentary has fallen off quite a bit.
The lads miss so many instances and a lot of the time fail in the basics of getting players names right, etc.
It’s probably time to get in a commentator who can analyse the game and who will have carried out the requisite level of prep work.

Agree with you there. We appreciate the great service Radio Kerry provide but it can be improved. They are ahead of other local stations in the amount of matches they cover but as you said, they do need to tighten up on the basics and get a few more analysts for commentary duty. In passing I think they also need help with their newsroom, where at least they have new voices coming on air, which is great to hear, but most of them need to be taken aside and helped with basic pronounciations (and I'm not talking about complicated townland names here) speed and timing. Liam Aherne used to work for Limerick 95fm and always gave the score at regular intervals. Even if his fellow panellists were getting carried away with their observations about other things, you always knew what the score was and the reason why play was stopped. He is gone from Limerick for a while but I see that he has done some TV work for RTE on the county championship games they were showing on Saturday nights of late. On the matter in hand, I think Crokes may shade it today.

Nothing wrong with divisional system itself. Problem is county board reducing number of senior clubs from 12 down to just 8 a couple of years ago. If the system wasn't changed i doubt Rathmore would have been involved in a relegation playoff.

I can't for the life of me see how Kilgarvan fits in with West Kerry.

Rathmore and Kilgarvan would give EK serious further riches
