I don't understand, why can't people figure out who the players are? yes, what was the basis of Tim Moynihan's question? Was it the ongoing problem with reading the numbers on the jerseys or what was the context? Was there some kind of poll done on Kerry radio about it or was it just one or two texters who commented on it and suddenly became representative of all Kerry supporters? The usual reason I can't figure who players are is that my eyesight isn't great and on occasion match programmes are sold out. Neither of which has anything to do with jerseys or lack of familiarity with the players. I’m

Lee Keegan is complaining today about Ronan's Shanahan's tackle on Evan Regan which resulted in the latter sustaining a facial injury. Looking at it on Eir yesterday it appeared to me that the tackle was chest high rather than to the face but not sure. Anybody at the match get a good view of the incident?
I don't think Lee was too worried where he hit Dean Rock last September when he threw that missile at him! However , it is a shame that Evan sustained that injury regardless of the nature of the tackle.

It is a bad injury regardless of the intent. We would be pretty upset if this had happened to Clifford in similar circumstances.

It was chest high as you said, but sent Regan spiraling to the ground. He must have made bad contact with the rockhard clay.

I think it the jerseys look woeful.
Even harder to stomach is breaking with history. Kerry were the only county that had a 2nd strip that was not a variation on the main jersey and it evolved from coming out of Munster so regularly and having to wear le bleu at head quarters that the whole country became familiar with it.

I think Keegan is over reacting.

What about 1981 & 1982?

Nobody other than ShanaHan knows his intent here. I dont think he went to injure the guy but certain type of tackles do increase the risk of injury regardless of intent.

Not having seen the replay but from real time I don't think there was intent. A heavy collision/contact, yes.

Not necessarily a broken jaw. Fracture of facial bones other than the jaw could conceivably result from a heavy fall on hard ground. Wishing him a speedy recovery nonetheless.

Still, looks like a nasty blow in this picture on the 42.ie. Definitely contact with the head. Check out this image on The42.ie : jrnl.ie/3835582

Unfortunate injury for O'Regan; you wouldn't wish it on anyone but this is a bit rich coming from Keegan considering it was the present Mayo team that brought physicality to new levels circa 2013-14. In Colm Boyle, they have one of the most reckless tacklers around. Not to mention AOS and his omnipresent forearm smash. Can't help suspecting we're seeing the beginning of the annual campaign to set the officials against the competition. No better county than Mayo to kickstart it.

Regan went under the knife today presumably to have his jaw wired so it's the end of at least his league contribution for 2018. I saw that picture alright but a picture can be very misleading to be fair, is it actually possible to see the contact anywhere on the net if you don't have Eir Sport

The gold in the jerseys will look exactly like this. Does the gold look brighter in daylight? It looked very dull under the lights in Castlebar.

No such thing as bad press. Think the gold jersey is getting more coverage than the new home kit. I’ll take two of each please 😀😀

Good result against Mayo. Some of your younger guys really looked comfortable on the ball. Geaney is class act. Enjoyable game to watch. I've rewatched the tackle on Regan a few times. It wasn't malicious but definitely dangerous ,although replay seemed to show Regan was caught high on shoulder not jaw. Possibly just badly timed in the heat of the moment. I guess if C o Connor done it to one of ours we would be furious and if Philly done it to anyone their would be uproar. But at the end of the day , Mayo are well able to hit and a bit ironic coming from Keegan.

I like the Kerry gold Jersey. But then again my mother is and always has been a true Wolverhampton Wanderers fan.
Exciting times for Kingdom fans, nothing like the days of young talent, real talent, coming through, thrilling games, wins against the odds, and prospects for future or even imminent success.
Mayo continue to take the league as no more than a bit of prep and rehab, Connaught as an irritating afterthought, and the qualifiers as a means to an end where a lot of their players can slack their way through to final exams. They do not ever seem to set a standard of any sort of excellence really, and while a lot of their games are exciting a lot of them have varying degrees of quality, at best. Losing a game to 13 kids should precipitate anger and ridicule but at this stage much of their effort for much of the year screams careless. And before people go on about training and all that, Kerry and Tyrone have consistently been better in league and provincial championship the last 2-3 years. Its fine to say "it's all about winning an All-I" but such extreme focus on one thing imo undermines that very thing, and their legacy as footballers and a county.

18 of the Mayo squad are living in Dublin...a 6 or 8 hour round trip to training.
They are right to put in all into peaking for the final 3 games of the championship in the circumstances

Fracture of facial bones other than the jaw could conceivably result from a heavy fall on hard ground. Wishing him a speedy recovery nonetheless. In my opinion Shanahans arm caused the injury. Regan didnt seem to fall directly on his face and the ground was soft anyway.

Watched the whole game for the first time just now (thanks Mick Mack). Really impressive display by Kerry, have to be happy with that.
Is Cillian O'Connor the most miserable, cynical pr*ck in Ireland at this stage?

there is footage on the Mayo blog of the incident at the tail end of the "Monday Match Reports" it shows exactly what took place but it is very fast and difficult to see exactly what took place, if anyone wants to see precisely what occurred record ithe footage on a smart phone on the slow-mo setting. If you do this it is as clear as day what actually happened, Evan sold a Kerry defender a top class dummy which left him on his arse and then ran straight for the Kerry goal. Shanahan made a b-line for him to stop him and as he neared him he raised both arms, Evan then planted his right leg in the sod and went to side step Shanahan on his left and Shanahans right side. The critical moment came when Evan attempted to shove Shanahan’s extended right hand (which was about elbow height prior to contact) up and out of his way as he jikned left and in so doing dramatically changed both the height and direction of Shanahans open hand (and not fist as has been stated repeatedly on this issue) into his own face.
Most all real time footage is inconclusive so the only accurate view is the slow-mo option but it shows the whole thing clearly and totally vindicates Ronan of any malice or intent in young Regand unfortunate injury.

Let’s wish Evan Regan a speedy recovery he’s had such hard luck and is a very exciting young footballer.Of course nobody wants to see any player get hurt. But there were much worse tackes that this during the game for example the double forearm smash to the head by Barry Moran on corner back O Beaglaoi that should have been a straight red for the wreckless nature of it. Even if there was no bad intent. How we only had one serious head injury that were aware of is miraculous! The constant hitting belting wrestling feigning injury taunting was off the charts and it’s fast becoming the new norm. Kerry figured out that they needed to up the ante and as it turns out they got that right one needs to fight fire with fire. The end result of all this is a game that One could never recommend to a young kid what parent watching would want their young children going down that road it’s become toxic. Rugby is a harder more physical game but not half the rancor and cheap shots Soccer and Basketball are going to be the winners here. Is it not long past the time now where the Referees and the hierarchy took control of the run away train that is becoming as much MMA as GAA In Kerry we can play football with the best of them we can fight with the best of them but it’s the best blend of both gets you over the line in this new era of football savagery that we are in. It’s not Mayo’s fault or Kerry’s fault it’s inept administration of the discipline by the Croke Park and the referees they send out.nothing that can’t be fixed by good quality fearless refereeing.
