???What kind of support do you expect in Croker on Saturday? BTW, if anyone is desperate for accommodation/parking, my unassuming sports' house just off the M50 on the road into Phibsboro is available with spare room (for free of course) to any real fan. Theres a metro stop two minutes walk away - when its completed in 2012! Sadly I'm working long shifts all weekend so wont be able to make the epic battle

???What kind of support do you expect in Croker on Saturday?'( well i hope we show up in numbers and display plenty of colour. the longford supporters set a great example last wkend - they were vocal, colourful and encouraging the team at every turn. they certainly spurred me on to shout louder for our lads. remember that the cork crowd on sat certainly wont be cheering us on, and in all likelihood will jeer our lads, so we need to be bigger and louder than them!

Admin - great post and a good reminder to people that freedom of speech carries some responsibilities (more so the comments are made anonimously).
Often there are posts here that are more reminiscint of "pub talk" - now the thing with pub talk is that its often forgotten in the morning and the subject, his family, friends, girlfriend etc arent in ear shot to hear the abuse. But when its put to print on a public forum like this well then the steps taken to remove such comments must be applauded.
Stacks I disagreed with what happened in Cork and it still disappoints me. Its obviously had a very negative effect on the player and I think we should all take that into account. Jack had every right to criticise the support and I think what he said had the effect he hoped it had last Saturday - it brought the support together rather than the opposite.

I was struck by the amount of young people at the match last saturday. The high pitched screams was not something I'm used to! It made for a great atmosphere (best for any Kerry game in a while). It shows that letting U16s in for free does work and will pay off long term. I've always maintained that its tough on a family paying into championship games. Saturday was a nice exception. Well done lads.

Moved post....

Dear Admin ,
I posted 2 items both of which were burning questions over the weekend,i.e. The Darren O'S substitution and the role of the umpires in Croke Park next Sat., this post also included reference to recent Kerry defeats re and vs. Ulster teams . Both posts were to the point and contained the necessary sledge-hammer diplomacy that was needed to address the remedial action needed if we shall progress next Sat. which I doubt.
Both posts were deleted for what I can only conclude as political correctness, a concept I can inform you that has become redundant in recent times. Check world news if you don't believe me!!!!!!!!!
Thankfully there are other fora and media in the county and province and in the country that I can utilise to discuss such a robust topic as Kerry football without being spancilled by the milk and water constraints of your jurisdiction.
The truth is the truth ----so as far as I am concerned you can stuff your forum and put it in permanent maintenance mode for all I care.

Having got the general vibe in Cork over the past couple of days I can assure everybody that the attendance for the semi final will not top 40,000........25 of whome will be from Kerry given that the minors are also playing
