Things maybe bad to worse, any truth that Seanie has done ankle ligaments? ooooh I hope not, that's a 6 week fix isn't it?

Strong starting team by Mayo although their bench doesn't look as good as recent games with Durcan & O'Shea starting.

That is a strong side, Tadgh Morley and Aidan Shea will be a good match up but for me, the defining pairing is Lee Keegan and David Clifford.
That is some match up.

I really, really hope that we don’t see Keegan on Clifford because otherwise we’ll be subjected to him getting away with the same sh*t he did every year with Connolly. I don’t think my heart or head could handle having to watch the general stupidity of GAA officials who will do nothing while keegan wrestles another player to the ground, off the ball, constantly

Good to see Mayo putting out a strong side - will allow management see how some of our prospects deal with strong opposition. Could end up playing Mayo again in a league final - important game for some lads who want to throw down a marker for championship games this year. I will be particularly interested in how our mid field deal with the Mayo pairing. Hopefully the weather does not spoil the game and we learn from it.

It is interesting that Aiden O’Shea is selected to start . I remember a couple years ago ,up in Castlebar , Gavin Crowley giving him a bellyful . A horse for a particular course I wonder?

So looking forward to midfield battle.Tyrone beat Mayo midfield in last years all ireland final but we beat Tyrone midfield in semi. On paper though imo Mayo have the best midfield pairing on in division 1.This is a great test for Kerry midfield. Aidan Ó Shea (Crowley aside) normally does well against Kerry so I'm glad he starting. Hope Keegan picks up Clifford as the only player I ever saw give Keegan a runaround in a big game was Con Ó Callaghan. Looking so forward to the individual battles. Massive test too for whichever half forward matches up against Paddy Durcan.

Strong defence from Mayo but their attack is missing that fire power that Kerry have. Game will be won around the middle I think. If Kerry even break even here I think we should habe the firepower that Mayo don't have. Ryan O' Donoghue the main threat whonI expect to be picked up by Jason Foley and probably Diarmuid O'Connor to be marked by Tom Sullivan.

Ryan O’Donoghue is the elusive type of player who troubles Jason. Dylan Casey should do fine against him or switch back Brian O’Beaghlaigh. Brian is a natural wingback but would be tailor made for the Mayo man if the need arises.

“Aiden O’Shea normally does well against Kerry”. Ciarraimixk, you must not have been at the championship match in Killarney a couple of years ago!

Ah Tom sull has to go on o donoghue , doubt 9 shea will be at 11 be pure madness to move o connor I think he is playing great stuff there. Some great matchups imagine Durcan will go on seanie keegan on David beyond that not too sure. It's a great test for us half forwards and mf in particular, if we break even there and stop them setting up attacks we should win outside of o donoghue and maybe Orme its hard to see them scoring enough. Their wf havent been great so Maybe putting o shea there is for that reason

Veteran I was indeed but I said normally. He was good against us in 11 and excellent in 14 drawn game and when he got hurt in replay Kerry took over. If he had nt got hurt we might not have won. He was very good too in 2017 both games and often saw him play well in league v Kerry too.

I see O’Hora picking up David, Coen will stay at centre back so will match up with Seanie while Durcan will go on Paudie. At the other end Tom will probably pick up Ryan O’Donoghue although it could be a great opportunity to test Dylan Casey on him.

Brian is a natural wingback but would be tailor made for the Mayo man if the need arises. Remember Jayo regained his place in the 2019 League final as PK learned that FB is a damage limitation role though unfortunately the damage was already done. Forced-Matchups are intriguing ala JamesO'D/Neil McGee and AO'M/Murphy in '14 AI Final - what I'm getting at is 'the proposal', arranged marriage of inconvenience, etc - Dgallers wouldn't have agreed to this double pairing if they had their wedding morning back again, mind games all over the place. The covering is an art in itself, this rendezvous could be the best of a great lot. Tactics already between managers with naming teams, and not naming teams. The auld curtin raiser in Twickers should be ok too, epecially if we hammer 'em home back up the M1 - then onto ASP to bring the curtin down as our Playboyos of The Western World put the West Awakes to bed early. There won't be child in the house not washed early on Saturday night.

Weather will probably be a leveller on Sat night.
Mayo forward line looks average to me. Good wing backs and midfield. If David gets a decent supply of ball, he should have way too much for Keegan who does not have the game for the full back line.
I hope O'Shea plays well for Mayo as he will be their undoing later in the year. A winter footballer if ever there was one.
I hope Kerry start Dylan, Tony and 1 or 2 other non-regulars and we learn plenty.

Probably one of the top scoring backs. Wish we had him .

Managing the Mayo impact sub late in the game, one Aidan O'Shea will be critical. He will show up wherever help is needed to either close out a victory for Mayo or get them back level at least if they are slightly behind. Jack will spring somebody from the bench at the same time that Aidan appears to mark him tightly - who whould that be? Would holding Adrian Spillane for that role be a good idea? Full house and should be a cracking atmosphere at this one. There goes my Aidan O'Shea theory...for now at least.

He’d have seen the line in 3/4 all Ireland finals if the rules were enforced. I don’t want to see Clifford getting dragged into that crap

Match was switched to Croker, we won and I scored a point. It’s probably unlikely at this stage though

Kerrybhoy. If Keegan was playing for Kerry you d probably love him. You are wrong calling him a "*ebag" Yes he bent the rules many a time but no more than what Aidan Ó Mahoney did to Michael Murphy in 2014.Had you a problem with Aidan in 14?Ah I don't think so! If Lee Keegan was a Kerry player you would probably love him. Keegan is a class player. End of!

Personally I wish we had a few Lee Keegans on our team over the past few years.
Paul Galvin and Diarmuid Connolly always got that treatment unfortunately due to reputation they didn't get much protection.
Any news on injuries lad ?
