Any idea where they went on there training camp This might be the team Fitzmaurice picks Brendan kealy Shane Enright Mark griffin Ronnan shannahan Peter Crowley Tadhg Morley Paul murphy David Moran Jack barry Kevin McCarthy Mikey geaney Donnacadh walsh Jack savage Paul geany James o.donaghue Subs: Brian kelly Barry john Darren o sullivian Stephen o.brien Jason foley Gavin Crowley Aanthony maher Bryan sheehan Brian beagloich Tom sullivian Conor Keane Kieran donaghy Johnny Buckley I would be very surprised to see McCarthy starting. Also I think there will be young blood in there - probably O'Beaglaoich. for me young McCarthy has been the find of 2017 so far. I really hope he continues to start.

Is Killian Young still injured I wonder. He would be an automatic starter in the backs along with Enright, Morley and Murphy IMO. 2 places up for grabs between Griffin, Crowley, Shanahan, Lyne, Tom Sullivan, Begley & Foley.
Midfield should be Moran and Barry. Johnny, Maher and Sheehan the other options.
Guaranteed places up front for Donnchadh, Geaney and James O if fit. About 8 players going for the other 3 places.

This is not a question for the sake of being argumentative but a genuine one- on what grounds is Jameso guaranteed his place? 2014 form? I agree he is defo one of our most talented footballers but I cant see why he would start considering he has done little , due to injury, in 2 years. I cant see how you would drop lads who have played well throughout the league and who beat Dublin for him.

I think a fully fit James O is a guaranteed starter as we now basically have two forwards who will threaten goals and points from play on a consistent basis. James is one, Paul Geaney the other. To win the all ireland we need these two bang on form and James O wont get form by sitting on the bench.

This will be the 4th Ulster championship match & 2nd Connacht championship match on tv. No qualms about the Mayo vs. Galway game being shown.
This is a Munster Semi Final between a Div 1 (and 1 of the top teams in the country) vs. a Div 2 team.
No Munster game yet shown on tv.
Its a farce.
I wouldn't mind if these games were good fare that we are missing out on because but if you take the last 2 weekends. Derry Vs. Tyrone, Dublin Vs. Carlow, Armagh Vs. Down..... 2 mismatches & a game with a lower standard than you would see in the O'Sullivan cup in the 2nd half in particular.

In fairness the Munster Championship does not set the hearts racing across the country, though Cork are doing their best to make it more competitive! I agree that mismatches are hard going. But if they were going to show one Munster game this weekend it is hard to criticise their choice of Cork v Tipp. As an aside, I think that Waterford game will have woken Cork up. Tipp seemingly have many injuries.

To win the all ireland we need these two bang on form and James O wont get form by sitting on the bench. 100% agree. James is a match winner. We have been very reliant on Paul Geaney the last 12 months. From memory James was very good in the replay against cork in 2015. Also thought James was one of our better players in the final that year although that is not saying much.

It seems that Fionn Fitzgerald despite his display in the league final, does not feature in many people's thinking on here in terms of team or even panel selection. Is he injured?

EF said during the week that they had only two injury problems: Killian with a groin strain and Tom O'Sullivan hamstring.

Tipp seemingly have many injuries. BBC show some Ulster games but that is complication to say the least, Down v Armagh was shown in tandem to RTE. I suppose there is little hurling in Ulster so maybe they are entitled to the rub of the shamrock and there will be some good games yet - Ulster football and Munster hurling would be the better provincial series' by a distance.

The reason that so many of the Ulster championship football games are shown is because it's the easy option for RTE - BBC NI are the ones who film the games (and very poorly at that - pretty much every game they miss some of the action on the pitch because they are showing a replay or yet another shot of the crowd) and provide the feed to RTE.
This means RTE don't have to bother sending an outside broadcast unit - which saves them cash and bother.
It's just more evidence of RTE's shoddy approach.
Anywhere here's Mikey with some words.
On a related note the various GAA YouTube channels seem to have gotten better in terms of putting out content - they seem to be putting a lot of archive/classic footage as well as round-ups of action and interviews with players/managers that aren't conducted 5 seconds after a game is over.

Would be nice to see a couple of championship debutants - its probably either one of Foley or Shanahan for the full back line, Barry at midfield and one or both of McCarthy and Savage up front.

Yes it would be good to see the winds of change continuing to have an influence. There's that old saying about repeating the same thing and expecting a different result. We have come up short over the last 2 years so it is time for new faces and a new attitude. There was evidence of both , eventually , in the League and it needs to continue....
I gather the forecast for Sunday isn't great so bring the raincoats....

I have always rated Brendan Kealy ahead of Brian Kelly and still do. However, it is hard to erase the memory of his panic attack at the end of the NFL. I wonder would Eamon consider Shane Ryan, or at least draft him into the panel?

"The panel" is growing to the extent it will take a double decker bus to transport them about - have been hearing some guys with numbers in the forties but they get no benefits just have to be available for training g games. Not sure if true or false - is there an actual panel at all?

Not sure if true or false - is there an actual panel at all? There's the main Championship panel and the development panel. Any fella on the development panel is being geared for next year's League and they're not going to waste during the Summer. Fitzmaurice has stated this himself. He's also quoted in the Kerryman as saying that another goalkeeper is coming in but he didn't mention a name.

Disappointed with that team
Think Kealy proved his worth throughout the league.
Ronan Shanahan,Jack Barry and Jack Savage all major additions to our team find themselves held in reserve for the more tried and trusted.
Gavin Crowley who was super v Dublin doesnt make the bench
Also would seem like a lost opportunity to bring along a few of the U21's on the bench for the day.

Strong team but the bench is laden with serious options for the bigger tests ahead. I wouldn't like to be reffing the A v B games over the next few months I can only imagine the skin and hair that will be flying. Good luck to all involved in the entire setup, we are lucky to have great men like these representing us, Ciarrai Abú.

Very disappointing team Brian in kelly in goals how can the backs get used of the goalie when we keep changing then Brendan kealy is the better of the 2 but both are not great wonder who the golie Ramon is brining in later on dissapointed ronnan shannahan not starting gave great exhibition against the dubs and was improving with every game needs a go in championship good to see same half back line dissapointed Jack Barry isn't starting midfeild I no we need to get Anthony up to match place but shurley Jack is going better than him in training good to see Kevin McCarthy get the nod and mikey geany keeps he's place Barry John is an impact sub he never does well when starts Jack savage should start instead of him Gavin crowly didn't even make the subs after great game against dubs he deserved to reward the team that beat Dublin with championship starts not May new faces in subs on Brian beagloich from u21 we need the youth and not to be relief on the old stock
