Mikey Sheehy will be complaining again. The 4 o’clock throw in is the worst part. Long day out leaving Killarney by train Sunday morning and not back down until 10pm. Might get a bigger Kerry crowd if throw in was at 2pm but the GAA don’t think that way. A lot of people might opt to go to Limerick on Saturday for the U-20 game instead. Was thinking the same myself. Kildare and monaghan have a handy hour , Hour and a half spin and on at two but the kerry galway game is the bigger attraction i suppose it will look great! and anyone watching on the tv will be able to hear the players talking id say

Leaving aside world cup final it's fair to say we'd have low numbers there anyway. Mikey was totally right. We have low numbers traveling. Only a core support. I'm not denying the interest but people dont travel. Croke park vs mayo last year was depressing to see so few Kerry jersies

Lot of pundits going for Galway. Heading to Clones on back of defeat is frightening and worse still can you imagine leaving clones with zero points. All possible. Cork we're shocking as Tyrone showed last weekend so are we as good as we thought from Clare and cork performance. Lots of imponderables. I think we'll need to bury Galway early to stand a chance

Fine for him having his accommodation and travel paid for. The only embarrassing thing was the team and tactics picked by Mikey and co for that game. I was at that game and we were outnumbered 5-1 - wonder would Mikey have travelled 2 weeks in a row as a paying spectator. And yes I am also traveling this weekend.

I think we'll need to bury Galway early to stand a chance Keep the faith. Time enough for catastrophising IF we get to that position. We do have two tough games ahead but we are well capable of winning them. Lack of support will be a problem probably more so in Clones than in CP so for those only able to go to one Clones should take precedence. I will be going to both but it's easy for me.

Jaysus. I am travelling home from Spain for the game on Sunday. We are going to win and we will win in Clones.
I have not seen any pundits going for Galway to be honest. Keep positive and travel in great numbers

I'm a big soccer fan and while it might offend some, there's no dilemma for me for what I'll be watching Sunday, especially as I reckon England will win tonight, making it a must watch game on Sunday.
One of the most exciting 19 year old footballers on the planet with all the skills to become one of the all time greats, against an old fashioned centre-forward from days of old.
A team still living in the shadow of their legendary champions of 1966 against a team with more regular success, most recently with a great team in the mid-80s and the late 90s and early 00s.
The contrasting styles are also fascinating, one team renowned for their flair and attacking verve, the other with a more cautious approach.
The managers both portray an heir of calmness, one unfairly got blamed for his role in his team's defeat to the old enemy in 1996 against a manager who as a player did a lot of the unseen dirty work so the more skillful players could thrive....................yes Kerry against Galway is going to be epic!

Keep positive and travel in great numbers Dead right, I’d say we’ll have fine numbers, key thing is that the sideline get things right, that’s our biggest weakness in past years, I think we will have good support on Sunday & Clones too - the August bank holiday fixture was the one that normally was poor but that’s in Killarney now, no excuses. Personally very excited about the trip to Monaghan - should be an unique atmosphere/experience. The GAA should now dispense with Croke Park until the semis - we should be heading to Limerick on Sunday, half way house. I think the Newbridge or Nowhere stance will bring a lot of change for the better next year with counties standing their ground and demanding better for their supporters. The economic benefits too are huge - some €400k pumped into Newbridge for Kildare/Mayo with < 10,000 at the game - a full house in Clones, Omagh & Killarney will do wonders for the economy- that’s what the GAA should be really about.

The Kerry support will be awful on Sunday regardless of whether England are in the World Cup final. That is just the way it is especially now that it is not a knockout. It's gas the way people got upset about mikeys comments yet are well able to dish it out.

So true I’m not sure what’s the point in complaining, Kerry traditionally only travel for semi & final, that’s the price of success,

Very poor interest in this game if there's been one post here in 23 hours. Where has everyone gone? Same team I presume with maybe Ronan coming back for beagloigh or McCarthy for burns

Vital to get a win against Galway to assume pole position in the group. A loss would make it must-win territory in Clones the following Sunday. Not sure how Monaghan/Kildare will go, but the Ulstermen are the bookies choice.
Hopefully, the Clones tie will see both teams with a win each going in and setting up a huge game.
Now if you wanted to make a right weekend of it, head for Omagh on the night before for Tyrone hosting Dublin and on to Clones for Sunday.

Mikey Sheehys spoke his mind and fair play to him, he was spot on last year. Mayo have just as long a journey to Dublin and always support their lads whereas we've too many waiting for the final. Kerry's away support is based a around a hardcore and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Not quite 3hrs to castlebar, fair enough some places are a lot further. But they are chasing the holy grail. Like the dubs selling out everygame nearly in the 00s if it wasnt for season tickets and lads who want a few pints id say there would be 15k or less at their provincial games

Although what am I saying, they have great support. In 2015 in Killarney they seemed to travel in larger numbers than the Dubs and might nearly have outnumbered the Kerry fans.

Just pulled out of Euston on the boat train and looking forward to a few pints with friends in Dublin and seeing whether Kerry are as good as they looked against Cork.

Prediction: This won't be a straight line folks but an absolute roller coaster!
Vital to win against Galway? Maybe or maybe not. Either way, we will learn an awful lot about the true health of this Kerry team for 2018. The great Mick O' was quoted to expect surprises and as usual his probably bang on. We could be beaten by Galway and get a win in Clones so expect this Super 8 thing like much of life not to go to script.
The questions marks over the Kerry defence especially remain. The way an out of sorts and clearly low on morale Cork shredded us quite easily for two goals only reconfirms that defensively we still have a long way to go. Prior to the Cork game, I wrote here we cannot ignore how porous we have been for goals over the past 18 months. How many goals alone i wonder have been palmed into our net around the square in recent times? There's been a serious weakness by Kerry for some time to concede goals easily and teams have it well spotted.
Moroever, I expect Galway to be extremely physical and they will attack our square early and often and go for those goals. Galway bang in a few goals and the oxygen and confidence gained will be huge. I actually do think Galway will probably win on Sunday and remind us of the reality of how far this young Kerry team must still travel defensively. I’d love to be totally wrong and naturally hope that I am. As mentioned at the outset, we will learn and grow an awful lot as a young and relatively up and coming team from this game and I still think we should probably qualify.
PS: Best of luck to our Kerry team and management as they set out into the unknown of the Super 8s! Come on the Kingdom!

Same team I presume with maybe Ronan coming back for beagloigh or McCarthy for burns I doubt Ronan will come back for Beaglaioch as he did very well against Cork. But I expect McCharthy to come in for Burns.

KD did so much damage against Galway last year that Mayo put Aiden oShea at fullback for the semi final.
KD is a year older now and may not carry the same threat this year.
Both Kerry and Galway look far better in 2018. Kerry have added scoring power upfront and new blood in defense but the new keeper is possibly the most important addition.
Galway gave up during the 2017 QF but they showed grit and resiliance during the league and performed well in the league.
Do they have the forwards to match the Tyrone defensive system that they have employed? Are they like Tyrone without the scoring power of Canavan, ONeill, Mulligan etc.
I suspect they are to an extent.
One chink may be Ruairi Lavelle....21 or 22 years old. How will he cope if a few kickouts are pinged back over the bar in seconds.
Its hard to expect a lad so young to have the mental fortitude to withstand the pressures of being a football goalie now.
And i expect KD to land in around thd squard too at some stage ....

Its impossible to predict a team because we don't know who is doing well in training, and with the variety of players available there are options for most positions and Eamonn may regard the trip to Clones as potentially the most challenging game of the three and may hold a player who otherwise would start. Two games in a week is a new concept.
I hope there are a few changes to keep things fresh and to keep the opposition guessing. Generally it should be young legs for Croke Park, an extra old head or 2 for Clones.
