Here we go. No test for Dubs with Cork and not much for Kerry today was there. This one should get the Kerry team and fans juices flowing. I think my heart stopped when I saw Clifford ankle check himself. Should be a fun two wks for us kerry folk living in Dublin. Ciarraí Abú.

Are we going to keep ignoring the fact that David Clifford is not fit? He was very cautious today, but thought he eased into it bit better before being taken off. |

Jack was good at peaking his team at the correct time in his past outings. Time will tell, Moran looked fit, strong and ran the middle today, but ran into one or two dead ends. |

If you watch his run for the goal he absolutely smoked Paddy Durcan so I don't think there's anything wrong with his calf just think he sprained his ankle a bit. Was probably fine in a straight line after that but tentative laterally. I also think he limps around every time he fails to win a ball whether he's injured or not. |

Without him being injury free first, I'd be worried, its not our strongest panel of a team tbh, so we need all of them firing at top notch. Mike Frank Russell or Gooch had a stronger panel around them but still if they didn't fire (or were marked and neutralised), the team didn't perform. Hard for me to say who exactly was fit today after such a long time between games. It was a weird game watching it today, crowd left and the atmosphere died and the game matched that atmosphere, flat. |

Maybe slightly longer recovery than normal but usually when you go over your ankle it's pretty quick to heal unless he tore ligaments which I'm sure wasn't the case. David will be fine for Dublin. For the 1st time since 2011 Kerry will go into a Championship game with Dublin as favourites. This is our time to finally end the hoodoo |

I presumed the early David Clifford injury was a flare up of a prior issue.

A real 50/50 game and any mistake will be punished by the Dubs. The availability of Con O'Callaghan and the fitness of David Clifford will have a big bearing on this match. |

I didn't think David Clifford looked fluid even before he stepped on the ball and hurt the ankle.
He has to be 100% the next day.
I still think k we can win it without him but I would rather not

Considering David didn't look fit and turned his ankle early on he was still the class player on the pitch. We cannot afford to be without him. But compared to all other teams we have have players on the bench to cover for him.

Hopefully David is 100% for the Dublin game. He’s a different level to anyone else in the country in fairness to him. I think today highlighted more than ever that’s he’s our leader and the man in that forward line. When he’s not at it we look short on ideas up front. The good news is that Dublin don’t have any inside back who will be able to handle him, Mullin was a decent enough matchup for Clifford because he has the pace and strength but no Dublin full back line player is even near Mullin.

What is Eoghan O Donnell like ? A big physical presence who will be assigned the role of starting a wrestling match off the ball with Clifford which will be punished by 2 yellows early on. He’ll be moved off Clifford soon after |

If they put a hurling back who plays club football as a forward marking Clifford in his first intercounty start then something is seriously messed up in the Dublin camp. Can't imagine Fitzsimons with his pockets bulging with All Ireland medals would be too happy about it.

David Clifford to get a scan on injured ankle
Sunday 26 June 2022
By John Harrington
Kerry manager, Jack O’Connor, revealed that star forward David Clifford will need a scan on the ankle injury he sustained in today’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final win over Mayo.
Clifford was a doubt before the game because of a calf-strain but sustained a new injury early in the match when he seemed to jar his ankle while inadvertently standing on the ball.
He played on until the 67th minute but looked in some discomfort at times.
“He jarred his ankle,” said O’Connor. “It was curtailing him and in the heat of battle the adrenalin keeps you going but I imagine he will be very sore tomorrow.
“Obviously David was struggling through much of the first half. The boys worked on him at half-time but obviously he has an injury and, sure, look, we'll have to wait and see and get it scanned and see what's the story."
O’Connor considered taking Clifford off earlier in the match than he did but was glad they kept him on the pitch because his first-half goal came at a crucial juncture in the match.
“We did, absolutely (consider taking him off). But he's the kind of a player you'd nearly give the benefit of the doubt to most of the time.
"He's not just an ordinary player and he showed it with the goal he scored which was a serious goal because it came at a time when we were struggling to get scores and we were struggling to get a foot-hold on the game. That's the class of the man, that's what he can do.”
Clifford won’t be Kerry’s only injury doubt for the All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Dublin in two weeks time. O’Connor revealed that Jack Barry (calf strain) and Adrian Spillane (hamstring strain) are also in a race against time to prove their fitness for that match.

Above from gaa.ie.
With Dublin injury list - esp CoC, who is fully fit on both sides cud have a big impact on the match.
Prepare for 2 weeks of rumour, speculation, worry and chatter 😃😃😃- would we have it any other way!

I was amazed Clifford stayed on the pitch. |

Are we going to keep ignoring the fact that David Clifford is not fit? david was fine yesterday, won first ball into him and scored. then, on a wet ball slipped and injured his ankle after 4 minutes into the game - a complete seperate injury to the one that kept him out v Limerick . if he wasnt fit, he wouldnt have played yesterday. |
