That thought had crossed my mind I just hope I'm not the only kerry fan in croker a week later though... It's a lot easier to support a team that's winning than a team that's just been beaten. The Killarney game is the key one imo. If we win at home, a nice crowd will go to the Croke park game the following week as this will then become like the old quarter final. Win that and we're sorted in the semi's. I've been to lots of Munster Finals in Killarney and there's a great atmosphere at all the close ones but that Tyrone match that day brought something out of the Kerry people present that I never experienced previously or since. You couldn't think with the noise that day. This needs to be replicated the next day and hopefully it will. You are right about the atmosphere in Kilkarney that day. I thought I would pass out at one stage and I don't usually go too mental at games. The fact that Tyrone had gotten the better of us in the previous few championship meetings really upped the ante. Wouldn't it be nice to put some fellas back in their box. I pray for a Mayo win this weekend.

" Given our injury situation and our opponent, we have gone past the point of skills or tactics having a large influence on the outcome of the game. This one is all about winning at all costs, do whatever is needed to be done, hit whoever you have to hit, take out whoever you have to take out. Do not take a single fu*king backwards step against this shower. Don’t even think about it. Every minute of every play, going down the tunnel, in the tunnel, front up and let them know, “not fu*king today Sham”. Forget about our injuries, forget about Super 8’s etc. This one is all about payback. Nothing else. The only thing our lads must remember, every minute of every day between now and Saturday evening 7pm, is the way we timidly allowed ourselves to be bullied in every game against them over the last few years. Dragged, literally, all over the pitch. Beaten on the pitch and on the scoreboard. Sucker punched late in games and beaten well with 15 mins to go. Danced through us and cut us open, played the black arts on us, or, plain and simple just battered us. They have beaten us every which way you can think. Sometimes deservedly so, other times luckily, but they’ve beaten us. That has got to stop now. " Just read that over in the mayo gaa blog. It can be addictive reading over the nonsense they post. He starts off saying Mayo need to be cynical and take people out off the ball. Then in the next paragraph gives out about Galway being cynical. And they are all praising him saying he right on etc. Its like a parallel universe over there. I never took much notice of Mayo supporters. Thought they were a bit simple or naive to be honest. But after being introduced to that blog on here a few days back my opinion has changed. They are the most self entitled bunch of a**holes I have ever come across. They are giving out about Limerick being chosen. A siege mentality is grand but that's just nuts This obsession with Mayo is getting ridiculous, they haven’t got to the Super 8’s at all yet, hold your bile for another few days !

Fully agree, that type of behaviour is absolutely classless and moreover, it reveals an inferiority complex when in footballing terms Kerry should not be feeing inferior to any side given their record. I remember Kerry being on the receiving end from Meath supporters in 2001 as we were being humiliated on the field in Croke Park. I remember thinking it wouldn't bring Meath much luck and Sean Boylan was far from impressed with the Meath supporters for it. Walk easy when your glass is full and all that is a good rule of thumb.

I expect Galway to win, I had seen them play 2 weeks before the Roscommon match and they were playing excellent attacking football. They lost their nerve against Roscommon and the wet day didn't help

Prior to the backdoor in 2001 and widespread televisation, most senior games were at 3.30 on Sunday. So this game on the 14th isn't too far off the mark in being fixed at 4. Yes it may not be ideal for people to be travelling long distances back from Killarney on a Sunday night but that is merely the reverse of what we have been doing for years anyway. Leaving Dublin Sunday night at 6 or 7pm, heading to various parts of the country (as I have often said, not all Kerry supporters live in Kerry, or Dublin for that matter) and still being able to go to work on Monday.

I thought Mayo4Sam disappeared after his antics the last time in 17? He was saying that the mayo county board were showing the Kerry Mayo match from 14 in Limerick to trainee ref's as an example of how not to referee matches.
I think control called him on it

I'd rather we played mayo for one reason Galway are boring to watch and their style is an eyesore. At least with mayo you know we would get an exciting game they don't know how to play any other way!

Loads of things to be sorted out for our 1st 2 games in the super 8s as there is only the week between them and with rest and recovery and what not probably only one pitch session. I presume some work has been done on Donegal as we know we will be facing them. Despite what management may say. We have known about them for a while so presume a session or 2 was devoted to them.
And we have problems in defense and midfield to fix too.
What's the story with Tommy Walsh? Will we see him against Mayo or Galway as both are pretty poor under the high ball. A bit like ourselves.
If JOD is fit does P Geaney lose out? Or does DOC or Barry partner Moran with Moynihan moving out to the wing? Or is Moynihan dropped?
I presume Tom O'Sullivan will take McLaughlin or Shane Walsh depending who we get. Or will it be Cillian if we get Mayo?
Twill be a long week next week.

If Mayo get over Galway fatigue is bound to be a factor for them in Killarney
I wonder does James Horan regret not playing David Clarke v Rossies.
What is this thing Mayo managers have about David Clarke. He is second only to Cluxton and has been for years.
I cant get over it.

This obsession with Mayo is getting ridiculous, they haven’t got to the Super 8’s at all yet hold your bile for another few days ! Yes, or even ever. Mayo have lost their last 7 matches against Galway.

Mayo have lost their last 7 matches against Galway. To be fair I don’t think Kerry are obsessed with Mayo. I’d prefer to meet Mayo simply to have a bigger crowd. Either way I think Kerry can beat either team. The big test will be Donegal. Once we see how Tyrone do against the Dubs then we will have a better idea where we stand,

Think the O’Shea factor works against Clarke with their Breaffy team mate Hennelly often getting the nod - cost them an All Ireland previously. I agree on Clarke - one of the best around & has gotten a raw deal often in the past.

Tommy had a quad issue leading into the Cork game and though togged out did not partake in the warm up - think he is back to full fitness again. I believe we will persist with Barry @ midfield, JOD , if fit, should return but at whose expense? I can’t see any change in the half forward line - DM, SOS & DOC - so Geaney makes way if JOD returns.

It was annoying me trying to figure out why the S&C coach was involved in the warm up drills involving kicking and passing with Burns and Graham Sullivan. Thought it looked fairly amateurish at the time.

The GAA may have it's faults but the Super 8s is truly super, permutations has dazzled us rabbits, you could cut the atmosphere here in Donegal with a scissors, and that is before my thinking aloud of a green 'n' gold AI final - careful what you wish for and anyway that was tried before and so an elephant in the room called revenge, even Padraig Power can't split us.
To spite Padraig here's a crazy bet, well based on logic it must be crazy - €10 double on Kerry for Sam and Clifford for Footballer of the year, pays €750. Or for my Donegal kin and to spite wan Colm O'Rourke with Murphy FOTY pays €960 for your tenner. My logic is that for these teams to win the respective men would probably have to make massive contributions! Now they are social bets and you'd be looking well heading for the final if my wishful thinking was on the button - dazzled rabbits or what?
