If you don’t think the Cork performance is worth taking into account, then there is no debate But sure what did he do of note against them? I don’t remember him standing out and Cork are on the verge of going to division 3 so they are, in all reality, crap. The division 1 league games are the test of a player and he hasn’t done much in those. If the barometer is a not particularly stand out performance against an upper div 3/lower div 2 side then I think you’re way off He scored 4 points from play in 20mins in a game we were struggling badly in. And that was real pressure not in league games where it's sometimes hard to gauge. If there are 7 or 8 better forwards than killian spillane in kerry id love to know their names? |

I’m not saying that there is, I’m saying give him another chance on Sunday. However he hasn’t done much for the last 2 seasons in division one and we really need to see something from him. As I said, a few games is a bad run of form but 2 years is more than that |

As I said, a few games is a bad run of form but 2 years is more than that It does happen, and it just might be the case with KS that he's better coming into games off the bench instead of starting. It seems to me that he's not into the rough and tumble of tackling and tracking etc. that has become such a fierce important part of a forwards game now a days. So'B, Paudie, Dara will offer a way more here. It's just a fact that there is more space later in matches and he does have the capacity to do damage so maybe this is his best spot. |

Consistent with out sporting culture as testified by TCB Chairman in Covid saga last year I'd say we will be taking this game serious. Tyrone used to use Kerry jerseys to bait players, when challenged said we did the same and which I don't believe was ever the case, so we will now use their jerseys to blood a few of ours - for some strange reason I see An Dearg Lamhs as a red-herring - they won last year and they will only improve. We have the players but like The Cross', etc, they can squeeze a win out of nowhere and fair dues on that but we have to contend with it to reclaim Sam.

I think most agree he offers something, that could be invaluable in a tight match. Right now, his form isn't there but I'd definitely keep him in the squad. He must be showing well in training, otherwise how would he get a starting position for a league game?

I am not sure if anyone here listens to James O Donoghues podcast with Paddy Andrews. After a slow start, James has begun to hit his stride and is worth a listen. I thought his comments re Jack Savage were very interesting. He clearly rates Jack very highly and also it appears Jack is a very likeable and popular guy off the pitch whilst acknowledging his on field persona is very different but that is not a bad thing either.

Agreed, Killian has generally done well as a sub in the championship up until the Tyrone game last year where he didn't have much of an impact but he wasn't alone there. Not playing as well this year to date and has slipped behind Tony Brosnan and Geaney in the pecking order. If I remember correctly he was the only inside forward on the bench against Tyrone as Tony B was injured (or was David Shaw an unused sub?) and this came against us in that game after David's injury. |

Would taking killian out of the full forward line help him or is he only a corner forward?

Crazy stuff really.

I know it’s commented on every year but it really p*sses me the vast majority of the best games of the year have been played by mid March and most played in horrendous conditions. Just idiotic, it’s something that we’ll look back on in 20 years and think how stupid it was to not change this |

Stadiums around the country with moss on them and croke park and semple only two grounds that will see proper knockout between contenders in either code this year I will bet. |

We played Tipp in Thurles last year so hopefully they make the Munster final and we'll have a day out in Killarney in June. |

Crazy stuff really. in 2014 we played Clare in Ennis Cork in PUC, Galway in Croker Mayo in Croker, Mayo in limerick and Donegal in Croker. The Kerry Mayo game in limerick was the best atmosphere of the lot. In fairness quarter finals should be neutral venues preferably provincial grounds. Too many games in a half empty Croker some double headers involving teams that personally I'd have no interest in watching. |

I had this argument on twitter recently.
Effectively the GAA have shoehorned the Premier competition onto the worst period of the year to help the club game.
Sorting the fixture issue shouldn't have meant making a mess of the intercounty.
In essence the best players are slogging it out in storm in February while the junior B lads will be playing in August.
Mad Ted.

Bit harsh on killian and Tony lads tbh in the first half armagh were fairly well set up to stop kicks into ff line there wasn't much space hence most of our points were lads breaking into the d. In 2nd half armagh had to gamble and pushed up it nearly worked for them but we left Clifford in on his own and armagh went one on one with him which meant he was always going to get a few scores. I'm very content at the moment it's a pity we only have 2 league games for Joe o connor as him and okunbar perhaps couldve been the missing pieces which is viable mf options. Team I would go with 1. Ryan 2. Casey 3.foley 4.graham sull 5.Beaglaoich 6.morley 7.crowley 8.barry 9.Joe o connor 10.horan 11.savage 12.o brien 13.paudie 14.clifford 15.brosnan I think it would be good to keep momentum going here unbeaten and no goal from play has a nice ring to it. Also id play as physical a team a possible as i think Tyrone will be up for it. I would rest Adrian he looked spent the last day id rest Tom sull and o connor as they are dead certs anyway try horan in spillanes role mccurry would be a great test for casey aswell. I would definitely look to rest a few ahead of the league final, Foley, Morley, DoC, Adrian, DC , PC all should be rested , assuming a few back, so my team Murphy, I think Ryan will play final Dan Casey Tom sul Graham Gavin crowley Beaglaoi Joe connor Jack barry Step o B Jack s Greg Horan Tony b Paul g Killian With HT sub for burns, roche, warren n maybe a run out for Gavin w n Paul mur if available |

No suprise that Monaghan v Dublin is TG4's live game, heaven forbid a Dublin match isn't televised. In fairness its loser go down so I suppose this Dublin game has more cause than most to be broadcast.
Can't complain about them showing the Wexford v Waterford hurling semi either.
But how in all that's holy is the deferred game Cork's match against Offaly in D2?!!! All the D1 games have something riding on them and they put on a bottom of the barrel D2 clash!

Team I would go with
Murphy
Casey Foley TO’Sullivan
GO’Sullivan Morley Crowley
JO’Connor Barry
O’Brien Savage Moynihan
Brosnan Geaney KSpillane
For me that’s the right balance between giving players a chance and still having a strong team out. I wouldn’t see much point in playing players who realistically don’t have a chance of seeing game time come championship.

I would give Greg Horan a run out the next day alongside his club mate and give the nagaeil guys a break. They have played a serious amount of football in the past six months between club, district and county.

We're the reigning league champions and we're playing the reigning allireland champions and nada, it's some joke, I'm lucky that I'll get to attend the game but for all the good Kerry and Tyrone folk that can't its a dirty setback. |

Cork and Offaly will decide which one of those teams plays in the Tailteann Cup this year so I think it's probably the biggest game of the weekend. |
