With division 2 status maintained and qualifier guaranteed Cork might not mind giving up their advantage. I wonder if they were relegated would they agree to move match? Anyway glad if its true.

On another note I was in hoganstand forum earlier and a few Tyrone posters who listened to game on Kerry radio reckoned it was the most biased commentary they ever heard. Now all local radio is a little biased but Timmy Moynihan takes the biscuit alright. Timmy only sees Kerry when it comes to frees. Gary Ó Sullivan was more neutral and better imo. I find them amusing to be honest. But you seem to have gone a little blue. Always listen them. They criticise Kerry all the time but go ott on opponents all the time. Probably a bit biased but they do criticise Kerry a lot. I'd love to see midweek showing of the games, even if on the national GAA website, with local commentary dubbed in. Or maybe a 10 days after, if midweek after the game too soon. Stick them on the RTE Player, or the local radio station's website.
RTE have full video of games that they prune for the highlights show, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
I'm sure a few here have seen the Kerry/Mayo replay from 2014 with the Radio Kerry commentary - Weeshie was Gold. Having the MidWest Radio commentary on another copy would be another way of passing a wet Tuesday in deep winter to get their equally biased reactions in real time.
It would be entertainment that all GAA fans crave.

Weeshie was gold is correct. There used to be a brilliant bit of commentary from Kerry radio with Gary and Ambrose of the two goals Kerry got v Dublin before half time in the 16 all ireland semi. Pure Gold.

I think there are positives in not winning today … for too many years Kerry strolled through these league games thinking that the same thing would happen in championship and have suffered accordingly. From my perspective the big positive are (1) Tony Brosnan is becoming a real intercounty inside forward to complement Clifford … (2) Stephen OBrien seems to be finding form again which is huge as he offers both a hardworking and scoring threat and (3) the backs in general have improved as individuals and as a unit .. Morley, and BOB had really strong leagues and G O’Sullivan has shown he is a viable option also. I would say jury is still out on Dan Donoghue as unfortunately injury stopped his run .. would have loved to see how he performed on faster ground against nimble corner forwards … hopefully his early season form is maintained as it was promising.
The negatives I still think midfield is a worry … if teams press our short kick out we don’t have ball winning ability around the middle .. David Moran returning would resolve this but maybe impact our defensive structure a bit so it’s a balance that needs to be made.

As my name suggests I'm away for years and listen to other stations and they are all biased to their own but Ambrose is the most critical of them all of his own team but does go OTT on opponents. |

Sully and Mick
I hope ye are right about Roscommon and Galway fans as I can't see many travelling from Kerry with the price of Diesel.
I'm heading up in hope more than expectation, its the hope that kills you.
Does anyone else think Gavin White could do a job for us in midfield?
I wonder is Okunbar a viable option in this sector if he recovers from his shoulder injury in time.

Does anyone know if the season tickets cover the final or do we have to pay for them separately?
In the past the season tickets covered the final but not sure for this year.

Kboy I don't know the story with season tickets I'm afraid. Oh I'm quite certain the Rossies hate Mayo. Galway don't love Mayo but might go with their province reluctantly. White midfield could be an option. He has pace and cam field but the problem is we have no one with the fielding ability of David Moran. White could do a job no doubt but is he any better than Diarmuid. Diarmuid and Jack are good players and do well but as a poster said earlier when teams push up on us and we have to go long we can't seem to compete in the air. Also our half forward line is small too which is a problem for that too. Ideally when our keeper (Shane Ryan hopefully) goes long our midfielders of they can't compete should try break the ball with the fist or hand and our half backs and half forwards be ready to react quick and won dirty ball. Problem with that though is it probably stops Diarmuid or Jack trying to field and maybe lowers their confidence. My motto is if it doubt boot it out but that's where Moran thrives. I mean we have loads of lads that can play midfield from Mike Breen (altho out for season) Morley Adrian Spillane Diarmuid Jack Seanie Shea Joe Ó Connor Éanna Ó Conchúir but we have no one that can lord the skies like Moran. Other teams can bring out their full forwards sometimes to help like we used to with Donaghy but we don't have anyone at mó that fits that bill either.

Like any panel, we have out strengths and weaknesses; management must craft a team from this and if that configuration will be good enough only time will tell.
Long term the question remains as to whether or not we are recruiting the right kind of player and my signature below is relevant, maybe more relevant that I'd care to believe!
I recall laddos saying Tim 'Horse' Kennelly RIP was 'slow and wouldn't make in onto the county team in a month of Sundays', but Dwyer from his own playing experience was able to craft/configure a winning team from the abundance of skills available, compensating for any weaknesses - no player is 100% in everything but we need a few right hoors to combat the Tyrones - Galvin and O'Sé types, etc.

Ya I know what you're saying Mick, like another poster said lately when O'Shea comes back he'll give us a bit of extra height around that area. Moran is the man, he's in the Darragh mode of high fielder. Speaking of Darraghs, Darragh Canavan caught a ball in the middle today and setup the goal for Tyrone, he's a lovely footballer. Anyway Mayo will show up our flaws in the middle on Sunday and that might be a good thing going forward. |

You don’t have to pay if you are a season ticket holder. Just log into your account as you would normally do.

I think the Radio Kerry commentators at least try to be objective but it's hard and as another poster said it is Radio KERRY.
However, whoever was back at desk has a serious issue with Tyrone and I thought went way over the top. He almost said that all foul play in football emanates from Tyrone, and was figuratively banging the desk in frustration that Kerry failed to relegate Tyrone. It was in bad taste I thought.

Ambrose and Timmy might criticise Kerry but they always blame ref especially Timmy. Amusing yes but I preferred Gary and Ambrose. Gone blue? It was Tyrone posters that made the claim. They're both as bad as each other when it comes to refs. Although I'm told Ambrose was always a good man for criticism of refs. The biggest problem with them is they spend more time talking about anything other than the actual game. It can go 10 minutes without them ever actually saying the score. |

A lot of people pinning our hopes on Moran to sort out midfield for the championship. But do we know if he's even going to be available, much less up to IC fitness? He hasn't played all year and the whole thing is going to be over in four months. Is he even training at the moment?

Burns, Savage and SoB are not specialists at fetching high balls over their heads. Adrian and SoS will be two of the starting half forward line which will give more options for long kickouts.
The half back line is not notably tall either though

The lads on RK gave Tyrone a lot of 'backhanded' compliments yesterday which might have been what upset the Tyrone listeners. There was a lot of talk about their dark arts and cynical play e.g. fouling in the right locations, feigning injury/time wasting, etc; and how Kerry need to get better at it. |

True Annascaul. A few Tyrone posters on hoganstand complaining about that and of course it makes us all look like sore losers.Not sure who it was (it was nt Timmy Ambrose or Billy Ó Shea) but he blamed every dirty tactic on Tyrone and said they were the cause of black cards and more or less all dirty football started with Tyrone. (The game must ve been perfect before Mickey Harte). It was a stupid interview and was indeed in very bad taste. Its no wonder many counties are starting to dislike us big time.

Lads I must get something off my chest that I noticed yesterday and it's not my 1st time experiencing unfortunately.
I was in the terrace under the commentary box yesterday and some of the Kerrys fans reactions were simply embarrassing. On my left, during the 1st half, I saw one Kerry supporter refer to Kieran McGeerey as a Northern C**t and the chap wasn't aware he was standing right next to Tyrone supporters and he was rightly pulled up on it.
2nd incident was after the full time whistle, a different guy to my right was having a go at the Tyrone supporters in front of him over an incident he didn't like earlier in the game (I think it was McCurrys hit on Casey) and he was letting them know about it. When they said to him there was enough officials watching the game and it was up to them to take action he said to them, more or less, that their style of football wasn't welcome down here and they should f**k off home where they came from.
Now in all honesty guys, I know we're a passionate bunch about our football and all that but to make opposition supporters feel unwelcome and to discriminate against them is also wrong. They are only supporting their team, they have no control on how the game is played out. I can safely say that no matter what county I've travelled to, I've always been made feel welcome and we should be doing the same to others who visit our towns and put money into our economy. I know it's only a small few who do this but we should not feel like football always should be played on Kerrys terms either. If that were the case, football would become boring. Just be careful before voicing opinions at games and think before you speak.
Rant Over 🤣

With Mattie Donnelly replacing McShane at 44 mins anyone know how did Jason fare thereafter? Donnelly went off injured 10 mins later.
BTW posters might indicate if they were at the game.

It was only s league game and the reaction was crass. My young lad turned to me and said "Jez, he must have the wrong team with paddy power".. Some need to cool the jets. |

Looking at the league campaign as a whole, apart from yesterday, one has to be reasonably happy. If at the start of February I was told, that we would only lose one, draw one and win the rest, qualify top of the table and in a league final and having conceded only two goals in the entire campaign, one being a dubious penalty, I would have been happy, however, yesterday, has left me shaking my head, we are still naive and too nice. Tyrone have always had the ability to upset our apple cart, they did so again yesterday. I know we can quote that it was a full strength Tyrone against a two thirds selection, but still these are our players that we what to call on if the need arises, certain aspects of play yesterday were baffling and pure frustration.
McGoldrick would not be hitting the top of the class stats if an assessor was in situ yesterday, and O’Reilly may have done us favours in Limerick in 2014 but he was shocking on the line yesterday, with at least two closed fists in his proximity, unspotted. Regardless of the ref or lines man.. the players were again bullied, let’s call a spade a spade, we were bullied yesterday we didn’t like it but we lay down and took it, Casey got a small dig in front of the terrace, Christ, man up, next ball let him know you’re there, what would Philly or Cooper have done if it was in Croker.. you’d know you were in a game anyway. No, too nice, we’re still too nice.
Next weekend, we are going to get more of the same, we’re in for a hard physical battle, we scrapped a win in Tralee but truth be told, Mayo should prob have got a draw at the least. Areas were we struggled yesterday will be in for more scrutiny against the Mayo lads, but in fairness, I would rather find faults in April then in June

Have Gaelic football goalkeepers somewhere along the line lost the confidence, will or ability to catch the f*ing ball above their head. Twice last night goalkeepers punched the ball out to the D. It's kamakasi stuff.
