How many of yesterday,s panel will feature in County Quarters. More importantly how many of our Under 21s. Traditionally Kerry players emerged in the County Championship, and it was their form here that was taken into consideration for selection. Has that day gone and are we now looking for the most dedicated who put up the top scores on bleep tests etc

Will our exit from the AI bring forward the Co Championship schedule? Round 11 of league now down for next weekend I hear. Not likely - minors playing on 17th, intermediate semis will be the week after that - would see double headers in Tralee & Killarney first week end in Oct, similar to last year. County league next weekend, could possibly play the club final the following weekend, probably won't though. I'd imagine a couple of rounds of the senior championship will be rattled off after the ai final seeing as the Munster starts late October. Laune rangers templenoe could be played early October as well. Mid Kerry final pencilled in for st Stephens day!

The most stylish footballer will still do well at club level but athleticism is essential to be top dog at intercounty level. Athleticism is the foundation stone and football ability the cream that brings you to the top. One without the other will leave you short of the big prizes.

Maybe so. I still think we need new young leaders and so far I cannot see too many on the horizon. Dingle have disapointed me, expected more with so many recent minors and Under 21s on their team. Looking forward to seeing Sean O Shea against Dr Crokes

End of October must be set in stone now as the county final date regardless of Kerry contesting an All-Ireland final or not? I presume the reasoning for this is to coincide with the commencement of the Munster club championship?

Considering the fact that the Kerry champions host Tipperary's on weekend of Oct 29, there is no time to allow for a replay here and there. By the way, Kerry's intermediate champions have a first round bye and play the winners of Cork v Waterford on Nov 12. The junior champs will be in Clare on Nov 5.

It is very late, so it might be fair to say the All-Ireland clubs championships are also a factor in the strung out nature of club football and with the positioning of the Club final on Paddys Day. Only two teams remain in the intercounty senior championship, how many county finals across the country will be played on Sunday week? None?

As far as I know, all games will go to extra time in the event of a draw except the final. Website says quarter-finals have extra time. Says nothing on the semi-finals on Oct 7 - there is room for a replay on Oct 15 and final on Oct 22. That would mean three weeks in a row for one team - advantage or disadvantage? And winner out again on Oct 29 in Munster Club could be 4 weeks in a row. If the final ends in a draw the rule book (Eolaire 2017 page 66) is brought into play: "PROVINCIAL AND ALL IRELAND CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS Participation shall be in accordance with Rule 6.27 O.G. 2016 In the case of the Senior Football Championship, Kerry shall be represented by the longest standing club in the County Senior Football Championship with the following exception, where the county shall be represented by the winners of the Kerry Club Championship: a) Where the County Championship is completed and won by a Divisional/Group Team."

Predictions for the QF fixtures? - I suspect most people will be looking keenly at the Sunday's fixtures in anticipation of the top two coming from this side of the draw based on performances to date. Two good double bills hopefully.

Bryan Sheehan picked up a red card in the game against Gaeltacht at the weekend - was this a double yellow or a straight red - will it affect his availability for South Kerry for their QF with Rathmore.

Suspensions are at the same level & competition - he will be available for SENIOR championship, suspended for first round of next year's intermediate if it was a straight red.

It wasn't a straight red - a yellow and black I believe it was
East Kerry / West Kerry (if the Gaeltacht boys are at it with them) / Crokes & Rathmore I reckon to the semis

The prospect of the "rising star" being in action next Saturday should help boost the crowd for the QF double bill.

I can't wait to see him in action again. I put my name in the club for a ticket but unfortunately didn't get drawn out so I didn't go, I had a feeling we would see something special from him again. It must be said that all of the minor team have huge potential but Clifford is a once in a generation player and it was inevitable he was going to make the headlines. I briefly contemplated buying off a tout (for about 10 seconds and something I have never done before) but then I came to my senses. It really pisses me off when I see some of the people in Croke Park that don't go to a game all year. I was lucky enough to go to the AI final last year and I had two Asian people sitting beside me, one of whom was drifting in and out of sleep for a large portion of the Senior game, it broke my heart to think of some of the die hard fans who went without tickets and I thought of some of my relatives from Mayo who would have died for those tickets occupied by those Asians. C'est la vie.

Do you think it was right for the Kerry County board to be allocating 2 tickets to any person who could afford to pay 700 Euro to enter a team in the golf classic in Lucan last Friday? Why were we giving tickets to the Dubs with Kerry playing in the minor final?

Why were we giving tickets to the Dubs with Kerry playing in the minor final? In a perfect world - No. However in our world where an amateur association needs to balance the books and given the level of (financial) support the county board puts into preparing and caring for teams (at all levels) it can be deemed necessary rather than acceptable. Fund raising is a difficult game and those tasked with it will use whatever tricks and advantages they can muster.

Crokes will have learnt a lesson from club final & should overcome Kenmare; SK/Rathmore the hardest to call - a hesitant vote to the club side - playing well in county league, did not lose too many players during the summer - SK preparations will not have been helped by having St Mary's /Dromid /Skellig involved up to recently in intermediate & junior competitions.

East Kerry v KOR was a pile of sh*te anyway. East Kerry were fairly useless and KOR kept making poor decisions- won by 12 but should have been 22.
Ref was very, very poor and bottled sending off David Clifford for a striking offence. Also people who are taking about him going straight into the kerry senior starting 15 obviously haven't seen him play at senior county championship level- he was grand but needs time to develop

Good on patches, poor in patches. Surprisingly similar to all KORs big players-bjk, savage and Moran were all the same. Moran stepped it up in the second half tho! Con Barrett was very good for KOR while no one really impressed for EK. Tommy just doesn't seem to be moving well at all and I know it's down to the injury but it very clearly hinders him. I really can't explain how bad the ref was - I don't think he knew the rules. That's in no way an exaggeration

Refs in both QF's were poor today. Clifford shoiuld have walked with even the EK fans amazed he didn't. In second game ref had several black card fouls and he brandished yellows. A striking offence early in game was also bottled with a yellow shown when a red was a no brainier. A lot of off the ball blocking and pulling and dragging. Poor football in both games and nothing to give Crokes a ny sleepless nights.

How Greg horan didn't get sent off for his punch was one of the most baffling things I've seen in football.
He gave the WK lad an uppercut in what I'll call a sensitive area- directly in front of the ref. A ludicrous thing to do
