Well at least we know what Jack's intensions are for Sunday. €18 for the ticket and about €60 for the diesel down the swany so, at least I decided not to waste €200 for a hotel room tomorrow night  Kerry have 8 starters from last years final while Galway have 7. A win is not out of the question. Glad to see Dylan Casey and Ruairi Murphy getting starts. Hope they do well. |

A case of neither wanting 2 points?!
Ah yeah look I'll be heading up anyway to roar them on. Unusually for me, between one thing and another, I've missed a lot of the matches in this year's League.
I wonder are any others on here like that this year? Maybe its the knowledge that they'll be so many more games come the summer to have to make time for from now on.

I have no problem with Shane Murphy getting another shot. Ryan is number one for championship anyway. I don't see many laying our kickout meltdown at the end of the rossies match at the feet of Shane Ryan, whereas you could be sure Murphy would be blamed if he was in goals. Let's not forget that Ryan threw one in against Tyrone here. Let Murphy play, most likely be his last action for Kerry until next year.
I think we have bigger fish to fry in terms of our midfield, and poor performances by our forwarda

I think we may struggle on their kickouts. I would expect Galway to aim a few at Cooke on Paul Murphy's wing.

I am thinking, the starting 15, much a much compared to previous selections, we have an amount of players at the same level, we are maintaining our core experience, we have guys coming back from injury and they are better served being introduced as subs, so happy with selection overall, appreciate the goal keeper selection is a strange one, but let’s see if murphy has gone away and worked on his issues, if not jack will have a Cj as low he going into championship, but now is the time to find out, murphy has both strengths and weaknesses, so let’s see how he goes.
It will be tight game, I see Galway have named a strong team and comer is back on the bench, a goal to deprecate the teams, which ever team scores it.
With the new championship format , do the provincials really matter any more to the top teams, they only interrupt the preparation, I am thinking galway are focused beyond Connaught.

I’m not sure it’s a case of neither team wanting the points but certainly a case of neither needing the win. I think both teams will try to win the game but won’t be too pushed if they don’t. |

Exactly! Tbh at this stage a league title has more credibility than a provincial with the exception of Ulster. The likes of Galway and Mayo would love a league title and regardless of the short turn around both are guareteed the last 16 in the championship. Also with 3 out of 4 teams qualifying (which is pure silly and money driven) it's quite simple to qualify for the last 12 for the big teams. Both Kerry and Galway would like to win tomorrow's game imo. I be in that camp too, both teams would take a final, comer would not be on bench if not interested in winning and the Clifford’s be rested. |

Safe Journey to all making the trip to Galway tonight/tomorrow. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I can't make it. I have two tickets to a good home. Anyone interested PM me.

Not happy that Paul Murphy is still on the team at this stage, he is not a defender and is a weak link to be exploited like Dublin & Tyrone did in 2019 & 2021. Hopefully Tony Brosnan will step up tomorrow and cement his place as it's his 4 year on the panel. Dara Moynihan being dropped is good as he is a sub at best. Happy to see Barry Dan & Donal Down in there as these two have a bright future in the jersey. We will get chances to kick from distance tomorrow and we need to take those chances which is why I would like D Clifford out the field more. Was Jack pissed off with S Ryans kickouts at the end of the Roscommon match? I think he was as I can't think of any other reason for S Murphy in goal for a big game. This is a big game for us in terms of getting some resolve back in the team that has been missing so far this year. Sean o Shea needs to step up as well tomorrow as he has had a poor year so far.

Paul Murphy could not make the first 15 last year, Dara Moynihan has no redeeming end product to his game. Runs into defenders, blind alleys and doesn't take his chances when they are presented, he turns back mostly to recycle the ball. |

I forgot the rule that if you didn’t start last year that automatically means you can’t start the team the following year. Murphy has scored 1-4 in the league so far off the back of a great year with EK and Rathmore. He’s easily the next best half back available when Begley and Breen are out. He’s shown way more than Warren and Okunbar. Moynihan’s work rate is the reason he’s in the team. Look at any game for the amount of hands on tackles he consistently makes |

Others will no doubt correct me if I am wrong but I think 2022 for Paul Murphy was one of those seasons where injury meant his preparation was hampered and with the condensed season he struggled to break back into the starting 15. Yes he lacks physical bulk but he is tenacious and brings an experienced head to the game which is invaluable with Moran gone. He had a great club season and has continued his form into the league - a fit Begley may well put him under pressure but he is not the weak link in my view. |

Perfect day for football in Galway, dry, little wind, the sun might even break through.
A few Kerry supporters mingling around the Salthill promenade too.
Hon D Kingdom!

Jack already knows about Shane Murphy at this stage, it is baffling for sure. Our kick outs will be awry again. Maybe I'll be shot down for this, but Devon Burns is the second best keeper in my opinion, followed by Kelliher from Glenflesk. Murphy has been tried and tested - he won't be our number one, maybe time to let someone else contest or push Ryan for the number one jersey. Apologies to the Killarney Crokes contingent out there, who will back their Kilcummin man. Definitely agree he should be second choice. Fitzgibbon from Kenmare was decent in 2021 as well but was gone as soon as Jack came back. |

That's just awful. That's both our goalkeepers making stupid errors in goal now in this league campaign.

Some very poor displays out there yet only the poor goal in it....

Over doing the right corner
7 times stuck in Clifford’s corner
Need to learn quick that we do have another corner forward on the other side
Need to play the left side more it’s crazy playing Clifford the ball with 3 or four on him
Jack Barry Anonymous first half
Rory Murphy have Ming a fine game as is Tony Bros

Pedestrian pace, we left 2-04 behind us, we only in second gear but still only a goal behind. There are goals in us if we want.
As for the green flag against, Christ

Why are Kerry trying to walk the ball in to goal? Absolutely obsessed with right corner. That Galway goal?  ?? |

Lads I be a Shane Ryan man for goals, but the goal murphy confederation was just so unlucky, flight of the balllanded him on the upright, took a heavy knock, let’s be fair and not crucify the young lad for that error.
Galway looked full of running, linking it up better than us, we have only 1 score from play from the forwards , I be putting Tony inside, he is lively, get him closer to goal, we don’t need him outside.
We look tired but still in the game.

Barry Dan, Tony Brosnan & Ruairi Murphy had good first half. That is positive. I think Kerry will get goals in 2nd half.

Barry Dan must’ve been badly injured to say they took him off? He was playing brilliantly?

Dylan Casey was playing well too and then his replacement Graham kicks the ball away and turns over possession at 1 pt down - and we go 2 down.
He turned over 3 balls similarly against Roscommon too.

2 interventions by Jack Barry, scorable foul and dropping ball in attack, leading to 2 scores and surely 2 league points for Galway.....

Well, i guess the only good thing you could say about this league campaign is we stayed up.
We havent learnt or even tried anything new.
Although some flashes, there is nobody who has really made a case for uprooting any of the current jersey holders.
Of those jersey holders, they are all way off last year which is understandable and excusable.
Whats more worrying though is the wastefulness in front of goal and the directionless, frankly braindead, approach going forward.
The coaches rightly got praise last year but so far this season, they deserve equal questioning. Every single game, bar mongaghan second half, you could narrate every kerry attack. Look to go short.
Handpass up the pitch into a blind alley in one corner, back out to the middle, around to the other corner.
A lot of work to be done in the next few weeks / months.
My confidence of a back to back has taken a battering.
