U20s out this night next week. Anyone know anything about how they’re shaping up? Will be a right battle against Cork as always. I’m looking forward to seeing the team selection and how Declan has them playing.

Paul O’Shea came on as a sub. last Saturday. I hope this does not mean Peter is going to hang on to hm at the expense of the U20 team. The senior panel can well afford to do without Paul for the present. Perhaps, if he was a defender, where we have fewer options, I would have a different viewpoint. Any update on this by anybody? He wasn’t on the squad yesterday Paul’s non involvement with the Seniors means he will 100% be with the u20s. Totally the right decision in my opinion. |

Managed to get a 10 or 15 minute glimpse of the 20s against the Dr crokes senior team on Tuesday night. The crokes were down a lot of players and were far away from there strongest 15. The 20s did look strong couldn’t see that team starting against Cork but they were strong with alot of new faces I don’t remember seeing at minor.

Very little talk about this big one coming up on Thursday night being shown on TG4. Cork will be strong as always, we only won out against them at minor level three years ago with a last minute point and they also have some very talented players from the 2019 minor All Ireland winning side although we did beat them twice that year. Conor Corbett will be their star player, it will be interesting to see if he is the real deal. As regards our starting 15, Devon Burns and Mark Kelliher are two very good goalkeepers, I would go for Burns. Dan McCarthy, Sean O’Brien, Alan Dineen and David Mangan are surely certain starters in the backs. After that it will probably be two from Owen Fitzgerald, Kieran O’Sullivan, James McCarthy and Colm Moriarty, it’d be Fitzgerald and O’Sullivan for me. Paul O’Shea and Darragh Lyne are expected to line out at midfield but Joe Linehan or Cathal O’Beaglaoich might push Lyne. In the forwards I hope we see a full forward line of Ruaidhri O’Beaglaoich, Sean Quilter and Dylan Geaney. I also hope to see Darragh Rahilly who I rate highly but he hasn’t seen game time yet at u20 level at wing forward. I would round off the half forward line with Paul Walsh and Patrick Darcy which would leave Jack O’Connor, Killian Falvey, Jack Kennelly and Emmet O’Shea as serious options from the bench. Certainly a very talented team there yet again, success at u20 level would be very welcome. I’m looking forward to seeing how Declan fares in his first foray into inter county management and what style he has the side playing.

I wouldn’t say the 4 boys are certain starters Sean o brien obviously is with him being captain. Dan MacCarthy is ruled out with injury having done the dreaded cruciate last year. Dineen or Mangan never started last year with Owen Fitzgerald and James MacCarthy both starting ahead of them. That was even after Mangan’s excellent county championship so I would presume they would stay the same if all are in the same form. At this age they always seem to prefer Paul o Shea as a forward rather then midfield why I will never know. But, that could possible open a space at midfield. Was a big fan of Rahilly at minor also unfortunately he has not seem to be able to bring that form to under 20. I think Conor hayes from the Rahilly’s could be another excellent option inside. As far as I know Jack o Connor has also got a long term injury and I believe Emmet O Shea never made the panel as he has played all county league. I think based off that my team would be. Kelliher in goals a full back line of Fitzgerald, MacCarthy and Alan Dineen. Half backs of Sean O Brien Dan Murphy and Colm Moriarty. Lyne and O Shea in the middle with a half forward line of Killian Falvey Darcy and Paul Walsh. With an inside line of Geaney Beagley and Jack Kennely. |

Didn’t know Sean O’Brien was captain, reflects very well on him considering he’s not on the age. On Dineen and Mangan I’d be very surprised if they’re not starters. Remember we’ve a different manager in charge who might see things differently, I didn’t agree with a lot of Sugrue’s selections. Same applies on Paul O’Shea’s position, he simply has to be midfield I agree. Jack O’Connor is a loss, a very talented player. Surprised Emmet O’Shea didn’t make the panel. We’ve a lot of very small inside forwards can’t have them all, O’Shea has loads of ability although can be very slow to pass but surely that can be coached out of him. I think he would have been an asset from the bench. |

We’ve a lot of very small inside forwards can’t have them all, O’Shea has loads of ability although can be very slow to pass but surely that can be coached out of him. I think he would have been an asset from the bench. Yes Dan is still out unfortunately I guess whilst it was a year ago with the year we were in his surgery would have been pushed back and back plus with the closure of gyms he would not have been able to do any of his rehab. A massive loss to the team none the less a real steely defender. O brien was announced as the captain in last weekends Kerry man, a choice I was very pleased by he really stood up against Cork and Galway last year. I think an excellent case can be made for Dineen and Mangan to start unfortunately there is only 3 full back line positions. I’d assume full back is between Dineen and MacCarthy, they are both very similar players tall strong probably not blessed with pace but very tight. What I have seen from the 2 boys I think I’d take MacCarthy he was solid last year against Cork and from what I remember of the Galway game they deployed a small corner forward on Dineen and he seemed to struggle with it. Fitzgerald I feel would have to start in the full back line if both MacCarthy and Dineen started mostly to inject some pace. Thinking back to last year against Cork he had a tough day but he was put as the man marker job on Blake Murphy. He did keep him completely out of the game, as even was being noticed by the tg4 commentators until the last 5 minutes of the first half was over where he quickly kicked 1-2. That’s what good players do to you unfortunately. I could see him being put on Corbet this year and doing a good job, it’s easy to rule him out after last year but he is a player I really do like and more recently completely nullified Paudie Clifford in the junior club championship which is clearly no easy job. I think that line is where the toughest decisions will be made and probably will rule to be the most important given how tight these games normally are. It is a very light full forward line but I’m still not sure is Quilter the answer I think I would move Walsh inside before starting quilter. Whilst, he is outstanding for Austin Stacks he has been seen as more of an Impact sub by Peter Keane, Jack O Connor and John Sugrue |

Whilst, he is outstanding for Austin Stacks he has been seen as more of an Impact sub by Peter Keane, Jack O Connor and John Sugrue Fitzgerald is very sticky infairness to him. Blake Murphy was a very very tough task, I wouldn’t hold that against him too much. I’d start him too but what I would say is he needs to be matched with one of the smaller forwards otherwise it can cause trouble. I’d see Mangan as more of a wing back, I think he’ll start there, there aren’t too many other alternatives. I was thinking Dan McCarthy for 6 but if he’s out Sean O’Brien is probably our best option. I heard he played there in one challenge game anyway. Colm Moriarty or Dan Murphy could round off the half back line. I think Quilter deserves his chance. He has shown what he can do numerous times including off the bench against Cork last year. He has revolutionised himself since minor under Peter Keane going from midfield to the full forward line while Jack O’Connor obviously rated him since he had him on the bench as a first year u20. Again I wouldn’t pay too much heed to Sugrue’s selections as he only started one natural inside forward against Cork last year. |

A very unexpected selection. It is a first involvement for Eoin Clifford at wing back and Tom Doyle at wing forward as well as Peter O’Sullivan, Cathal Ryan and Cillian Trant on the bench in a Kerry match day panel having not been involved at minor. I’m not sure has it been totally picked on form or what but I’m struggling to understand leaving out all 3 of Paul Walsh, Sean Quilter and Patrick Darcy and David Mangan, Joseph Linehan and Darragh Rahilly not even making the bench! I’m a bit worried now after seeing the selection, very hard to know how it will play out tonight.

Must have been picked totally on form which regards to the format of the competition is probably the right decision. Eoin Clifford did have a superb championship with Laune Rangers, cathal Ryan is a brother to Mark and Shane so he will have some football in him. Cillian Trant and Tom Doyle I must admit I’ve never seen play before. An excellent bench when u can bring on players like Paul Walsh, Patrick Darcy, Sean quilter. That would cause chaos on any tired defence which could be a master stroke. |

Ya team has to be picked on who’s playing the best in training and in fairness to Declan it looks like he has really stuck to that. Tom Doyle I am told was a talented player all the way up but soccer was also a big presence which is why he wasn’t a Kerry minor. Looking at the team again it is a strong one too, be very interesting now how they do. David Mangan misses out through injury. I hope Paul O’Shea plays around the middle and not inside. Certainly no shortage of impact players as you say, and if it is as expected very tight they may well be the difference. |

Hard to judge from TV where fellows are playing but is it conceivable that Paul O’Shea is not playing at midfield? Surely he should be playing there with Sean O’Brien going back to wing back on Cork’s number ten.

dreadful handpassing and shocking miss at the end I wouldn't be hard on him if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have got back into it. He's a great player. The amount of hospital passes out there was criminal. |

How Kerry didn't win that is beyond me.
The decision making up front was awful. Too much messing, fellas should be ruthless and be taking scoring chances when they are on besides looking to walk the ball into a goal scoring position.
For a management team including Declan, Sean Ban and Niall O Mahony I would have expected more from them in this aspect of their play.

Better team won, as others have said hand passing was atrocious and some of the players were comically bad and not up to it at this level.

Gave the ball away needlessly too often. The standard of handpassing was brutal, too much height with no pace on them left what should have been simple passes become 50/50s and Cork won most of them. Kerry often had an extra man going forward and could have really punished Cork but basic errors prevented that. Paul O Shea will be disappointed with 2 big misses at the end, 1 for a tap in goal he put over and the 2nd was a tapover point to force ET but put wide. He'll recover from that though and I'm sure it will only improve him going forward.

The hand passing was atrocious, as was our constant carrying of the ball in to traffic. Would have been a robbery if we’d gotten a draw really.
Cork deserved winners and looked like a much better coached side

Shocking amount of self inflicted damage throughout the game. So many misplaced passes and poor decisions. Absolutely killed them.
That period directly after half time where a few chances were spurned was critical I think
Don't want to name players as they're only young lads but a few should have been changed much, much sooner.
Massively frustrating.

The amount of misplaced handpasses was criminal altogether. I actually thought Paul o Shea was poor from general play for the most part of the game asides from a few catches. Doesn’t seem to have the pace to play in the forwards, thought Lyne looked more of a threat until he tired. Corbett made wreck, Kerry had nobody to match him. Thought McCarthy and Fitzgerald did well enough. Thought the goalkeeper struggled with the kick outs too. Not too many look that primed to move up to senior, maybe O’Brien at midfield
