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

Kerrybhoy. I never claimed to be an authority on gaa but I'm calling you out for your description of Lee Keegan. Lee has been a top defender over the last 10 years and to call him a *ebag or a filthbag is wrong. Those low terms are for eye gougers or lads that spit. I've never heard of Keegan stooping that low.

5 times an all star for wrestling with an opponent. Probably one of the top scoring backs. Wish we had him . I didn’t say that he wasn’t a good footballer but being one and being an absolute filth bag off the ball aren’t mutually exclusive. 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 You post is not in line with the forum guidelines shown on the website and repeated below.

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.

There is a yellow rainfall warning from 3pm too 11.30. I certainly hope you are right though

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.

Ah feck I hope its not true and if so its only something minor. We cannot afford the likes of Seanie of DC being injured. Anyone else we might cope but not when it comes to those two.

To be the top dog, we need to good enough to win no matter what absences arise. We can't be dependant on any one or two players, not even the aforementioned.

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.

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? control5"]Please do not post up rumours - Keep it clean, keep it fair, keep it accurate, keep it honest. Ciarraí Abú I don’t do rumours…..it was, however, from the horse’s mouth,…. Sorry couldn’t resist  …. Glad it’s not so bad as was reported

Do Kerry need a league title this year? I wouldn't think so but I also appreciate the argument about getting the experience of a win in Croker with silverware on the line.

T.G.Seanie s injury not serious. His free taking will be missed too though. Shane Murphy might start in goal as he s supposed to be good at 45 s and I suppose David or Geaney on close in frees. Wishing Seanie a speedy recovery.

I'd be thinking then same but laddos that played at a level and even refs would term it handbag stuff though you are right vet, it can lead to other things and yes, further infuriates the likes of the past master of Valentia. What is probably worse IMO is that it leads to inevitable inconsistency when a ref has to card lesser offenses on the ball as players don't know where the line of discipline is and the tempo is high. Maybe we need a code of conduct in the rules and panelise teams as opposed to individuals - ah maybe a crazy idea but we don't want to regulate the fun out of what is a contact sport, though taking off an opponents clothes could give a new meaning to that. In another instance Aidan O'Shea looked like he was counting the hairs on Philly MacMahon's chest and I personally think that a very serious view should be taken of doing sums on the field. Maybe a motion for congress, wasn't it Listowel's Tom Doodle who proposed to amend the constitution to outlaw the shaving of gooseberries though it looks like either someone didn't class Philly as a gooseberry or else he was a hairless one - what's the infection known as, not bald, a skin headed wan? Now will they ever name the shaggin team and take us out of our misery or we'll have to set up a thread on Doodle & Co.

Interesting team but I would be slightly concerned about the scoring threat from that half-forward line. Fairly light too when it come to backup for back six. Clifford is captain btw

Joe O’Connor on the bench is positive.
The HF line looks a bit underwhelming but that's probably a bit harsh.
If we get a result tomorrow it'll be a great evenings work.

Nice to see graham o Sullivan and savage get a look in , also Joe o connor on the bench. Cpuld be tough in mf for us 2moro need a big shift from Jack, Diarmuid and Adrian. For all the talk of Aidan o shea, ruane ,Durcan and o connor are the hammers to be hammered as Tomas would say in that middle.

Big chance for Jack Savage to see if he has what it takes. I'm a doubter that he can do it against the big teams and Mayos attacking half backs will ask lots of questions of him. Hoping I'm proved wrong as we need more and different types of options in that line.
Will be interesting to see who picks up Aidan O Shea. Will Morley sit off him and protect his full back line? Or will Graham pick him up?
