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. Fair enough. |

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.

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. 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.

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 strong team by Mayo, O'Shea is in there to bully our midfield in the absence of David Moran, it's what he did the last time they met in Tralee and in that years league final. Our boys are a few years older now and a bit stronger Morley has the legs for him but if O'Shea gets the ball he'll barge his way through no doubt, it'll be a good test of our centre column. 5 times an all star for wrestling with an opponent. 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 |

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 ?
Horses post yesterday actually ruined my day.

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! I don’t think you understand the meaning of bias. Of course if you have a lad gettin away with all sorts and more or less negating other teams beat player through foul means then you’ll be happy and of course you won’t be happy if it happens to your own player. Also saying “end of” is just nonsense, if you were the definitive authority on something then you’d not be posting here |

Getting back to the game lads,
The forecast is abysmal for tomorrow akin to the Dublin game which isint good.
In the event of Seanie being out I'd imagine Paidi will go too 11 and Geaney in to 15.
This will be a real test tomorrow but my hope is we keep a clean sheet. That's a something to be proud of and something to maintain.

Listening to OTBAM on Newstalk Eoin Sheehan stated Kerry will have a big player missing tomorrow.
I was also told this by a reliable source however the injury is not as bad as first feared.

Is telling us the colour of a shirt some spectator wore at an all Ireland final an example of invading others privacy! PS - I have Lee Keegan on my team all day long. If we had him we'd most likely be looking at winning number 40 this year. |

True but you usually find its a team that has made the breakthrough that can then cope with those circumstances. This Kerry team are young and still chasing that breakthrough. We need all hands on deck if this summer is to see us get over the line IMO. |

I'd prefer to be missing Seanie or David now for a month than in July.They both have played too much already this season. We know what they bring to the table. Time to test out a few more lads IMO. Do Kerry need a league title this year?

The weather has been wintery for every home game. But Kerry have been doing well anyway. Hope who ever is hurt isn't too bad. These Rumours are depressing in a year when Kerry need to get off the mark and win the big one. I believe that once they win one there'll be no stopping them for a few years.

The furore regarding Lee Keegan points to one of the many dark sides in our games, hurling and football. This off the ball behavior would not be tolerated in soccer and rugby. As regards the Keegan/Connolly affair , I deplored it here at the time even though , like most neutrals, I wanted Mayo to win.
Off course, nobody is suggesting that behavior is peculiar to Lee Keegan. It happens up and down the country every Sunday. In the Dublin match, before the game started , Dan O’Donoghue behaved ridiculously, pushing and shoving and chest thumping. That is another example of carryon that has become pervasive in the game , to which referees turn a blind eye. Look at what happens at the throw in , in plain sight of the referee. Players wrestling each other to the ground. I find it an embarrassment.
The referees answer to off the ball holding etc.? Give one token free close to the goals . They might balance it out with one for the other team later on. After that, carry on boys. Ignore the football and get on with the game!
It would be very easy to eradicate a lot of this nonsense. An early yellow card at the throw in , for example, would put manners on the offender. Wrestling off the ball ? Ask the linesman , umpire , who started this nonsense . Very often the referee will have a good idea himself. Card the instigator only. Issuing two yellow cards is the reaction of a shirker.
Another undesirable feature that has crept in is holding players who are trying to make a run when the ball is about to be kicked out. Dublin brought that to its natural conclusion some years ago when their fullbacks simultaneously pulled down their opponents.
All this negativity is manifesting itself because it is not being punished. The only person being punished is the quality player. All these misdemeanors should be clamped down on at their inception, otherwise they become an accepted part of the fabric of the game. The examples I have cited , it seems, are now imbedded in the game . Is the game enhanced by officials largely turning a blind eye? You reap what you sow.

“Kerry's Sean O'Shea is set to miss at least part of the remainder of the Allianz Football League.
The Kenmare player has a toe injury which, whilst not as bad as initially feared, could restrict his game time in the coming weeks.”
From Radio Kerry. At least it’s not an overly serious injury.
