Thanks for all the info lads, just google street viewed Inniskeen there. A bit of a blink and you'll miss it kind of spot with the pitch outside the village itself. While I'm sure there are people who go to inter county games like this and then head straight home, surely the GAA appreciate that others enjoy the more social aspects of matches esp when your making the trip as an away supporter. Its hardly asking too much to put a D1 League game on somewhere that might have a few pubs/restaurants within walking distance so people can have a drink or get some food before or after the match. Given the past two years we've endured you would think the powers that be might understand the importance of this aspect of a sporting event!! I agree with a few others on here, next time Monaghan are coming down we should repay the compliment. I could ask if Mountcoal was free  Its a lovely neck of the woods and they are very proud of Paddy Kavanagh with signposts for this and that aspect of his life along the stretch of road from the village to the pitch. I think you will like the place. monaghantourism.com/2019/11/26/the-patrick-kavanagh-trail-inniskeen-county-monaghan/Ah sure I knew it was that man's stony grey soil alright Mick, I believe he once cost the club a game while minding the goal. Except his idea of minding the goal was when the play was up the other end to go walking over to the sideline to buy a lemonade off some fella selling them to the crowd and have a smoke while enjoying it. Which sounded like a pleasant enough break from proceedings until the play suddenly transferred to his end and the opposition ran in a goal to the empty net.

He should have raided the medicine cabinet for the drop of potcheen or poitín as our right honourable hoors might call it, and in which case he'd have been able to stay the distance with Kennelly and Houlihan in Mulligan's in latter years. And if he got a supply from the local Sargent he might have been able to hold the candle to Behan. And if he did all that then he mightn't be lamenting rejection by our own Hilda Moriarty - then again if that didn't happen we'd never have heard Luke Kelly rattling out Raglan Road so as they say every cloud has a silver lining, or in this case every fag and bottle of lemonade. Come to think of it didn't Kennelly cost us a match of a day in Croker - ah God bless 'em, sure they made up for it in other ways! |

Looking forward to it now, I'd really like to see a big shake up with Jack just throwing the jerseys to some lads just to see how they do.
What have we got to lose

What have we got to lose I'd like to see us in a league final for two reasons. 1 We need to win a final in Croke Park. 2 Given how bad Munster is we could do with a hard test before going into that championship. With that in mind I want us to win these games. |

I see in the examiner online “ Winning the League is not “a huge priority” for Kerry manager Jack O’Connor who has promised greater experimentation across their remaining League games”
We could see more experimentation thereafter..

Certainly very interesting comments from Jack. He also said his aim is “getting as many fellas as possible up to speed” and to “experiment a bit, use more of the panel”. I think trying different players from the 17 we’ve had start to date is needed and I think we can still win while doing that. Dylan Casey should get a few starts, if Tom O’Sullivan, Foley or Dan O’Donoghue get injured in the championship it could be him we turn to. Tony Brosnan also needs a chance or 2 from the start to show what he can do. The sooner Moran is back the better and also it would be brilliant if Joe O’Connor and Okunbor were available soon to see how they would perform. Gavin Crowley isn’t too far away in the half back line so he should be in line for a start. I also think Donal O’Sullivan should be brought into the panel and given a start in a wing forward position. |

It’s going to be a very tough game against Monaghan, they are a dogged team and play there system well, there midfield was very good last night, be another good test for Jack and his squad, hopefully better conditions.

Injury update from JOC,
White is a few weeks away from playing.
Breen picked up a tendon Injury when he was recovering from the hammer Injury.
He won't be back for a while.
Moran,OConnor,Okunbar all due back around the same time March.

Moran,OConnor,Okunbar all due back around the same time March. That's mainly positive, going to be tough for white and Breen to get their places back which is great! beaglaoich really is playing well and Morley looks the business aswell. |

Absolutely, Our much maligned defence have conceded no goals so far yet you don't hear that being talked about in the media. |

It was due to pure ineptitude by dublin and donegal forwards that goals werent conceded.
I hope McManus red card is rescinded. He ended up in the net, was pushed and pushed back..... not even a yellow card offence.
Encouraging from Jack about experimentation. The toughest league games are to come and they will be the best preparation for the championship.
I hope the weather improves a bit.

What ever about Jack experimenting with the team for the Monaghan game, I hope he has a full team out against Mayo in Tralee as I'd hate us to lose to them.

I think to be fair to lads getting a chance - Tony or Jack or Dylan or AN Other - it would be nice if that was facilitated as part of a reasonably strong team. Throwing 5+ non regulars into a starting team (like Dublin) can be unforgiving and we can see the benefits to Dan O'D being surrounded by a fairly settled unit.
A meaningful balancing act is required.

I think against Monaghan he might do most of the experimenting with the Mayo game being full strength. He still won’t want to change too much but think he might mix in 4/5 players: Ryan O’Donoghue Foley Casey Crowley Morley Begley O’Connor Barry Horan O’Shea Burns Spillane D. Clifford Savage |

Yeah the mayo game is the big one for me they are the best team around at the moment and will give us the most honest appraisal of where we are at. Monaghan are monaghan and no team gets a handy game against them the free wheeling armagh found that out at the weekend it will be a proper battle and if we win it will be earned.
Jack was talking about a bit of experimentation who would people like to see in ? The cohesiveness of the backline means I wouldn't really think it's a great idea for more than 1 maybe two changes back there and we don't really have huge options at mf really team of go with is below.
1. Murphy (better kickouts)
2. Donoghue ( find of the league for us)
3.foley
4. Casey (deserves a shot)
5.beaglaoich
6.Morley
7.Tom sull
8. Barry
9.spillane
10.O connor
11 SOS
12.O brien
13.David c
14.k.spillane ( thought it was harsh taking him off last day)
15.brosnan (again deserves a shot)
Just a couple of positional changes would be great to see Tom sull with a bit more attacking responsibility. Bringing in two younger lads in casey and brosnan and o brien to give him more game time I'd keep most of the team fairly similar though as no point starting 7 or 8 different players or we will just lack cohesion and it is not fair on them.
Rotating out Murphy, p.clifford Moynihan and geaney as we have a fair idea what they bring at this stage its not a slight on their performances.

Lads looking at yer team selections I'd agree with a lot of the players ye picked except for Murphy in goals and burns.
Did ye see Shane Ryan catch the ball on his line under pressure yesterday? If that was Murphy he'd have been blown through the back of the net ( Murphy has no presence in the goal mouth) and he wouldn't have kicked the ball out any better than Ryan yesterday, Ryan was 2 for 2 in the first half and I think he had 8 from 12 from his kick outs in the second half into the gale.
Burns has been tried multiple times and he can't seem to cut it, I don't know of any player who's got as many chances as he has.
But look these are just my opinions.

Monaghan really pushed up on Armagh’s kick out because they knew the Armagh goalie isn’t able to kick over the press. Monaghan dominated the first half because of it. Monaghan will surely really push up on our kick out too especially since Moran isn’t playing. I think it’s a great opportunity to see how Murphy would cope with it because we’ve seen a lot of Ryan in the last 2 years. Also Murphy’s biggest advantage over Ryan is his distance on his kick out. Murphy has the capability to kick it over the press.

Going nicely for sure, but we were also motoring last year, even more so, but much down to the Armagh current surge, ahead of other teams in conditioning.
What we need to be mindful come the summer , our defence holds up, I am seeing improvement, but driven by the collective defence, with huge assistance from the likes of Spillane and DM, that’s good for sure, this may be at a cost of scoring numbers, all about getting the transition right, and a running trend thru the team is our need to ensure we have enough of tried and tested players, todate we have had a consistent selection in defence, which is always good, but we need to ensure we have others battle ready, this can be done by starting or half time introduction, same applies to forward line. SOS has been immense todate, as has David, injury to any of these could make our challenge tougher, remember last year we had to recycle substitutions , we need the back up ready for the fray, needs to happen now, but also to ensure that we don’t lose our structure that has developed as we try guys out.

I remember seeing Shane Ryan kicking the ball over 70 yards when he was a minor, he's surely able to drive it that far still.
