Veteran and Hermit. Brilliant match reports and both of your prosaic and utterly Kerry offerings bring back memories of one Con Houlihan. And all of this for a mere Mc grath cup final that, in previous years, would have hardly got a mention. Great to have football back. Roll on the League.

Paudie Clifford hit two sublime passes on Saturday. One in the first half - a 50m kick on the run right on the money - leading to a point by Killian Spillane. The second was a diagonal to Paul Geaney that led to David's first point. He also usually tries to go forward quickly with the ball. I would urge Michael Burns and Jack Savage to take a leaf out of his book if they are to be serious options this year.
I was trying to see what different defensive formation or tactics were being employed by the new management on Saturday but I left none the wiser. I did have a laugh to myself though with both Jack and Paddy putting the ball under their arm and trying to referee the "match" the team and subs had before the game.

Great reports and house compliments our Vet nicely. While I find myself tempted to jump to the same conclusions as others on here, are we not over stating the evidence, not least that we know so little, e.g. I'd be surprised if they were told to go hell for leather? I trust Jason as a Ballydonoghoor will prove people wrong, yet again - he isn't doing too badly against what are some of the best attackers the game has ever seen, and a defenders job is often a damage limitation exercise. No player is 100% in every aspect and I suppose a big part of team selection is crafting it so that they play to their strengths while eliminating any threats. I'm thinking Dwyer here and I suppose we were told more then. Ballythefireside Quote of the day - A good attacker must score most of the time - let a defender beat his man only most of the time and he is the worst in the world in the eyes of us roughest type of effin' ainmhithe you could ever deal with.P.S. I need to tighten this one up but I think the point is clear enough! Quoting from Jack'O in today's Indo, this typifies what I was alluding to - 'We got a bit tired and maybe a bit sloppy in the second half, but that’s understandable enough, because we are training hard through the McGrath Cup, and we had a good session on Thursday night. We were expecting the lads to get a bit tired, and they did in the second half, but, overall, we’re delighted.'
