Diarmuid didn’t play is all I know saw picture of B o beaglaioch in shorts at the airport I think and whatever he was wearing he had his legs covered up to his knees and had a special socks or something from his ankles up covering his calves. I'd say they are compression stockings for the flight! Not many fringe players played for there clubs. Don't know why not. Maybe afraid of training load for weeks ahead

I think that ends Derry as serious AI challengers. A Derry with Harte at the helm would not play as fearlessly as they did against Kerry. I am very rarely right, but I am sure of this being right in the same way I was sure Cluxton coming back was a very bad sign of what was to come. Well, so far, as usual, I am exactly wrong. Derry are being very attacking. The only thing I believe I am consistently right on, and it is a tautology to be fair, is over-defenensive play is losing play.

Up to last weekend the media experts were telling us it was all over already, Dublin untouchable . Now , both Dublin and Derry are at the top table, untouchable , with the rest merely scrambling for the crumbs.
Is it conceivable that the “top table occupants” have opened up an unbridgeable chasm between themselves and Kerry in such a short space of time? I have my doubts.
Some people , indeed some on here , claim that Kerry were lucky to beat Derry last year. I do not, did not , see it that way. My memory of that game is that we got the last four meaningful scores . That doesn’t sound like luck. And remember we played for ten minutes with fourteen men. We won it on merit. We may win a few major games on merit this year as well! Hang around.

After watching last Sunday’s game I actually feel a lot better about our chances this year. Never feel good about being favorite for the all Ireland l always like going in as the underdog so let’s see what happens. Remember ‘55 and ‘75

Oh we will be under the radar no doubt this year which will make it a bit easier on the panel and management
That stat you gave on the spread of scorers is very note worthy I’ve been saying that for ages we need every player to be doing the shooting drills at Currans or Killarney or wherever because irrespective of the number on your back you need to help your team with a few score when presented with even the half chance Infuriating to see a lad turn and pass back when he has an open shot from 20 M or worse go for point when he s one on one with the keeper The traditionalist in Kerry still believe the forwards are for scoring and the backs are for defending only Need to take a little Pressure of DC and get more lads contributing to the scoreboard And don’t be looking for DC even when you have your own shot Young Murray on Sunday wasn’t too worried where Shane McGuigan was he just got on with it and went for his own scores

Just came by this interview of Johny Bunyan and Eileen of Ballyduff GAA and a rare one it is, if only that modesty has their likes of few enough words. I can only highly recommend it and it gets really interesting when he Johny calls out his preference between football and hurling. A dual intercounty player and a wife who also played with distinction, a couple of dual duals. P.S. You don't have to log into Facebook to view it, just click on the X on the top right corner of the box to close it, and there you have it.

Anyone else not able to access the terrace talk website? Great resource, thought at first it was down due to it being updated after the league, but its been a few days now.

Disappointing to see the Terrace Talk website not working. But as the article says something very common with the GAA.
I'm aware that Terrace Talk had nothing to do with the GAA. But it's actually very hard to get info on anything Kerry GAA related. For example if someone wants a list of championship winners is there an actual official place?

Considering the value of internet in giving us a window to the past, there should be a "Data Officer" or "History Officer" in every county board. That is the way young kids today want to access information.

I think every one of us at some stage flicked back over old minor and junior sides on the page, it was a real who is who of Kerry Gaa... in a way It's actually very disrespectful to the initial brain child and founder.... a hell of a lot of work has to have gone in to creating, the updating and maintaining is probably the easiest.
On another note, the Gaa really has a stick up its Ar*e over the SuperMac's April Fools renaming of Croker Prank, God have we gone that sensitive...

There was some issue between croke park and supermacs just a few weeks ago as well. If I can remember correctly, supermacs were using an image of croke park in some poster in their outlets.

I think the reason Croke Park didn't get the joke Horse is also down to the row they had a couple of months back about those new (God awful) Supermac's GAA adds. When they were first aired they had actors wearing Mayo jerseys with the county crest visible which was in breach of trademark so of you watch them now the crest is blured.

Coming late to this but I can't believe the site's gone down. An indispensable resource and a fitting tribute to a very fitting person that's gone but never forgotten. I know the GAA are desperately (albeit ridiculously late) trying once and for all to create a nationwide database that would give anyone the details of every game, team line-ups, player appearances, scores etc. In the last couple of years they have finally realised (20 odd years too late) that they couldn't be relying on the work of enthusiasts like those who helped Weeshie set up TT to be custodians of these records. I think I mentioned on here before that even the League of Ireland has this great app where you can get all the stats and history of fixtures, players, teams. Its incredible that the largest sporting organisation in the country, and one that speaks so highly of its proud social, cultural and even political history, doesn't still have such a database.

How do we put pressure on the County Board to take over the running of what's on the terracetalk website?
Indeed, the Munster Council or GAA HQ should be advising on format content and all that stuff for the current volunteers for the intercounty games.
Getting club results and articles might be trickier, but not impossible through newspaper archives...I believe the County Library allows free access to irishnewsarchive.com which has The Kerryman available for researching.
Be a crying shame if all the data on terracetalk is now lost.

I really hope the terrace talk site gets put back up - it’s a brilliant resource. I emailed them a few bits over the years on slight errors and it was always updated. If memories serves there was a guy from North Kerry who helped run it and he moved to America. Not sure if nobody was running it and that’s why it fell but I sincerely hope it’s not permanently gone.

When the powers that be in Killarney and Tralee, put their egos aside and eventually, agree on the location of the Kerry GAA Museum, the governance of the site and records should fall under the Museum admin. To me, that would make the most logical sense.
