The Taniste was discussing it today and its on the 9 o'clock news. This is another side effect the split season so many games in a short period. I used GAA go for the Tipp game and I honestly thought it was pretty poor for the cost. I know you cam stream on a smart TV bit many people can't do that so are they expecting older folks to watch on their phones ? Kerry V Mayo is a show piece game especially with the new structures and its not available, Makes no sense to me. Watched one game on GAAGO this year. The picture was sh*te and the commentary was simply amateurish and inane. Not good enough when you're paying €12 for the privilege - you wouldn't accept a watery screen in the cinema for example. Yeah it's really poor, I've seen far better coverage of club games that were streamed than the Kerry Tipp game.

First off gaa go is brutal it just doesnt work properly.After the league game in castlebar i was hoping we would meet mayo again there will be great motivation to overturn the result that day. Strangely after that game i was thinking good this is money in the bank re motivation for next time we meet them! dc84, what country are you accessing GAAGO from and have you ever purchased the yearly subscription? I can only speak for myself and a few friends who are subscribers for along time. I'm on the yearly subscription for at least 5 years. Never once has there been a downtime and I have often watched 5 game on a weekend. Many is the time I was unable to see Kerry play live due to work and the time difference. I then watched the recording well after the game had finished. Each time never knowing the result. Another great thing about GAAGO is that they never post results of games. It is a blessing to us exiles, at a steal of a price.

The commentary on gaago is poor. I plug laptop to TV and it works fine. I only have phone Internet but it works fine. The only time I had poor picture quality was in Asia on holiday. I'm hitting 70 and think 99% of people my age can work basic stuff like this.

Maybe I've just been unlucky but twice in a row now with proper fibre internet its been a poor experience. I dont care about the commentary etc as i dont really listen to it or halftime on rte either.

We get the same commentary as RTE, TG4 and BBC and formerly Sky. Some game which are not shown on those channels in Ireland we do not get the studio nor halftime shows but we are fine with that. I couldn’t speak more highly of GAAGO, the amount of games is incredible which included certain club games. It far exceeds the 38 mentioned earlier. This is a far cry from l listening to the Munster Final over the phone in a noisy packed pub in the Bronx or waiting for the Irish papers to arrive on Monday night to find out who won. When I’m unable to attend games I’m very greatful for my armchair view.

The games on GAAGO that have full production are as good as anything RTE produces on tv. Quality drops alright when its single camera footage. However, these games are normally ones that wouldnt be on tv anyway regardless of if Sky or TV3 had the rights.
It was estimated that Sky were paying 2 million a year for their rights. The GAA have to replace that money some how. RTE werent going to give an extra 2 million as they can only show so many games on terrestrial tv. Would they show some on the putrid RTE player? Hence the joint venture via the GAA and RTE. Be interesting to see if the companies revenue is published at year end. The GAA need to get that 2 million from somewhere. Its some of the money that helps pay: GDAs, Players expenses etc.
If Michael Martin et all want all the games free to Air why not give the GAA the money and let GAAGO be an open platform. But, they wont as then you would have rugby, soccer etc looking for the same for their leagues. Would love if they gave tg4 the money and let them show some championship games

Well, the Clare game itself between the white lines went along as the expected route. Kerry after stumbling end of league and getting a pedestrian game against Tipperary under the belt, were significantly more cohesive, sharp and in tune – this is the benefits of undertaking a bespoke and tailored sun training camp.
Kerry are not at the 2022 dizzy heights yet but looking at last year, at the same stage the Limerick Munster final was poor fair as well. One significant difference is our panel is showing strength and depth. Look at the subs that came on Sunday, Brión O’Beagleoich, Mike Breen, Barry Dan, Killian Spillane, Stephen O’Brien, unused subs like Murphy, Crowley, Spillane, Donal Down, etc. What is most significant is the additions off the bench, didn’t weaken the side more maintained the steady input or brought a different dynamic.
Against Mayo, I expect another increase in temp. team wise, will be along similar lines, everyone states that Mayo are physically bigger and will physically impose themselves on us, a few things stood out for me on Sunday, the picking of Dylan Casey was a more physical approach to a defence, one I expect to be again picked against Mayo, I fully expect Casey to man mark O’Shea. The Na Gaeil duo were very impressive in midfield with Jack Barry very prominent in the air. What struck me was any fielding was done against Clare kickouts. We went short or to both wings, where Moynihan and Graham were options as was Tadgh. Actually, speaking of Graham, he was up there for man of the match, he was always free for an outlet, he did spill one late on but invariable though he attacked constantly and used the space wisely. But back to kickouts, this will be key in negotiating Mayo and to be fair, Shane Ryan, I felt was outstanding in every aspect of his game last Sunday, the kickout strategy is imperative next day out. Similar we didn’t go into traffic, the ball was moved at pace with spotters off the shoulders, this tactic will be key to unlocking and bypassing a more physical Mayo side.
Back to Sunday last, my respect for the two lads was already at a high level, after Sunday my respect has reached an all-time high, same with Seanie in his acceptance speech on behalf of DC for the man of the match award, class.
Back to Saturday week, it’s going to be some occasion, two things are crucial, our unbeaten record since 1995 and the fact that Jack has never done back-to-back…. Will be some clash and a serious test… .one I still expect us to win.

On a different note, How many (of last Sunday’s starting 15 should start against Mayo? being honest, I think we will be unchanged, I think Sundays team was picked with an eye on the Mayo game, Casey was picked for his physicality, he would be ideally suited to man mark O'Shea, in midfield, the na Gaeil duo played well against a more physically imposing banner outfit. Although, I am a huge fan of Adrian Spillane and Jack in the past has favoured, the third midfielder formation. I think the system we adopted last weekend, where no player went into traffic, with spotters of the shoulders at pace, will be Jack's ploy against a physical Mayo, by running into space and drawing the man wide we are maximizing the pitch to allow our players come off the shoulder in a double formation, or weave effect. I was behind the goals in Limerick and at stages, Moynihan and Geaney were actually on the sidelines, with Seanie and Paudie as punchers, this was heightened by decoy runs by Graham and at stages, Casey, when Clare switched off, Casey scored one and set up Brosnan for his goal... I can see this again vs Mayo...

And who would make way? Barry Dan or Adrian are the only options really. With Barry you’d probably put him midfield and Diarmaid on the wing or else Adrian on the wing with the 2 Na Gaeil lads midfield. One of the corner forwards would probably make way. That’s likely to be the only change if there’s any. I was listening to a Rte gaa podcast yesterday and they mentioned that it looked like Foley went off with a hamstring injury. Hopefully that’s not the case.

Mayo completely took that HF line apart in Castlebar albeit Seanie didn't start. I wouldn't be moving Diarmuid, He's our main midfielder now and had a mighty game on Sunday.

I don’t think Barry Dan is suited to the wing so it would have to be Spillane in that case if we’re to go with a 3rd midfielder. I disagree on Dara M though. We’ll need his work rate and he’s chipping in more regularly with scores now as well. I think Mayo took every line apart in Castlebar but Saturday week in Killarney will bear no resemblance to that game (I hope).

Personally I think if one of the 3 'dropable' forwards (Moynihan,Brosnan or Geaney) from Sundays team were to lose their place for Adrian it would surely have to be Geaney. I think it would be criminal dropping Moynihan or Brosnan as they are after picking up form and it's games like this one vs Mayo that will really show what they are made of. Geaney hasn't been spectacular since returning this season but he did miss a large spell with injury but he would still be first to come out of the team in my opinion. Being honest I can't see Adrian starting as he has seen no games time in either Championship game, not even from the bench. Also, only 8 of that Kerry team who started in Castlebar started vs Clare so I think it's almost impossible use that game as a reference point to the current form of Kerry.

It will be fascinating to see what shape Mayo are in after such a layoff. You'd wonder too what is their mindset towards this game. While Kerry will be going all out to preserve a proud record in Killarney, as this is not do or die you'd question whether Mayo come with a determination to win at all costs to reignite their campaign or if they would be ok with the likes of a narrow defeat knowing they pushed us all the way.
Realistically they've no fear of not getting out of the group by coming second at the very worst.
While I'm sure Jack and Co have mined the footage of the League encounter for all they can I think its safe to say that it was too teams coming against it each other with two very different priorities. Mayo with a lot of work already done by then and looking to win the League, Kerry just looking to thread water and time things for May. While the scale of the defeat was not acceptable, I'd dismiss the result as largely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
We looked very sharp against Clare. Mayo would have to be rusty. We got on top early on in 2019 and ran away with it. It was closer last June alright but in the end the scoreline did justice to the gap between the teams.
Mayo have improved on last year but enough to close that 8 point gap? When you consider that Kerry have added a bit more depth I don't think so.
I'm sure the bookies have us as favorites too.

I know there's been a fair amount of criticism about 3 teams qualifying from the groups however I think its vital to top the group. Avoid an additional match and get an extra week's rest. I think the winner will be a team that tops their group.

To be honest I think we would have a 1 in 3 chance (from whoever is third in the Galway/Ulster Runners Up/Tyrone group) of a difficult quarter final qualifier game if we end up 2nd in our group. It's important we avoid an energy sapping game the week before the quarter finals anyway
