It’s topics like this, and in particular our centre back options that one misses K’boy’s input or nuggets of wisdom Anthony Maher😁CB. Yes I miss Kingdomboy too. Hope he OK. As I've said before a poster goes missing from a forum and one never knows if they OK or whatever. And Mandad too - both consistent star contributors.

I would say Seanie is much closer to Declan than Paudie assuming no injuries, Seanie will end up being a far better player than Declan. Seanie, is an incredible footballer and still so so young. the free taking sets him aside and i think his work rate is a level about anything weve seen in 40 years from a center forward.

Homerj, you may be right in your predictive assessment of Sean O’Shea but if he ends up you being “ far better than Declan” he will emerge as the greatest footballer either of us has ever seen.

Rathmore by 6 Listry by 4 Firies by 10 Yeah it’s an east Kerry treble in my opinion with listry taking the Junior and I’d imagine that rathmore & firies will win the intermediate & novice with quite a bit to spare

I’d be of the opinion that Seanie plays a lot more like Brian Sheehan, just a bit more mobile and that Paudi is a lot more like Declan.

Its all about opinions but is nt it great to be able to compare. For me I would have Declan Ó Sullivan on any team. He was brilliant. He could have been a scoring machine in ff line but was such a great play maker he was needed at cf. Talking about Bryan Sheehan. He was often maligned in Kerry but a very underrated player. He pulled us out of the fire a few times none more than all ireland quarter final 07 v Monaghan. 07 was the last time we did back to back and it was tough. While we won final easily v Cork we had a titanic battle with Dublin in semi final and beat Monaghan by a point in quarter. We looked in big trouble but Sheehan kicked two late great scores from play to help us win by a point. Declan was one of the greats, a really top level player and a big performer when it counted. Sheehan was maligned alright but was a great servant to Kerry and was the dominant player in club football here for a few years. I thought he was a very good player but struggled by not being able to lock down an exact position.

Fossa and Listry gone to extra time. Listry much the better team with Ronan Buckley outstanding. Fossa hung in there and a late Paudie goal brought them back into it. David of course simply outstanding kicking all sort of scores off little possession.

That equalising score from David at the end against the breeze was ridiculous.

Holy f*ck, just the 2-3 for David in extra time to win the game for Fossa. 2-12 overall with 1-6 from play. Also won the penalty for himself.
Like for Kerry this year, the longer the game went on, the more influential Paudie became.

What a game of football that was.
There are no words for David Clifford.
Big take away for me is Ronan Buckley has to come in for Kerry this year. Looks a good replacement for Joe O'Connor.
On a separate note a few people travelled down to Killarney for a fundraiser for a local man here who was badly hurt working on the clubhouse.
Great to see the warm reception they received.

I thought he was a very good player but struggled by not being able to lock down an exact position. Brian Sheehans best position was Midfield. The reason he was so good at club level is because he was able to play there all the time. He won am All Star there in 2011 but just didn't have the legs for it at county level when things changed.

Homerj, you may be right in your predictive assessment of Sean O’Shea but if he ends up you being “ far better than Declan” he will emerge as the greatest footballer either of us has ever seen. I wonder where Declan was relative to S0'6 when he was at the same age - that is probably the only benchmark and trust me Vet, your abiding vow to not compare is safe as such comparisons can't be conclusive, if only because they are done by us hurlers of the ditch, as greats themselves resign to useful, worthwhile pursuit - we talk they talk, they walk it. Still it in an amazing conversation, the thought of it alone is dam burst of flashbacks. And yes, I will adopt Vets policy re David vs Maurice, but I'm going to be really mean here - did Maurice ever err? As they'd say in Donegal 'I am pure bad.' Hey, there will be worthy comparisons, if only because they were both forwards of somewhat similar characteristics though I suppose David has the advantage that Kerry are in a purple patch. Ballyfireside quote of the day - To err is human

It's a huge privilege for me that each weekend I can head to the Park or any club ground and watch David Clifford play ball, excelling above the rest. What I witnessed today just got better and better as the game went on. I can think of 4 moments from David that proved why he's the Footballer of the Year and the greatest I have ever seen.
1. He scores a free from about 45 yards off his left on his weak side. The height and power he kicked it with was class. 2. The point he scored to level it and send it to ET needs no description. Went viral on Twitter like anything he does. 3. A penalty in ET that he struck beautifully into the top-left corner. One that Ronaldo would be proud of. 4. His second goal to secure the trophy for Fossa was classic Clifford. Already after dropping the ball, he recovers and lays it past the keeper with ease. I think it was Star who told him to celebrate his goals. And by God was that goal worthy of celebrating.
A complete performance from the country's best player!

Further evidence today that the Club Championships are taking over in significance from the County Championship. Two teams going at it hammer and tongs with a fervent crowd providing an atmosphere no games involving Divisional teams could produce.Even the reaction by the winning team, it means so much more!!

Am I correct in saying that David was motm in the league final, all Ireland final, county final and junior final?
His score to equalise given it was the last kick of the game was incredible. He then in the first half of ET took the game completely away from Listry.
Hard to know how Fossa will progress from here. They struggled on their own kick outs badly today and are limited in lots of respects. They are not the strongest representatives Kerry have had in the junior all Ireland but with the Clifford’s they will have a chance

I just watched it on Clubber.
For the second weekend in a row Fossa were beaten at midfield and played second fiddle for long spells but their more clinical conversion rate upfront was the difference.
Around the 45 minute mark Listry were 3 ahead and walked the ball through the Fossa defence and one of their players could have fisted a point but he elected to go for goal and hit the post. The ball went downhill and DC won a soft enough free and pointed it. It was a key moment. Listry were rampant with Ronan Buckley superb. I think he got 4 points from play.
About 5 minutes later DC put in an awkward heavy challenge on Buckley and he got a yellow card. Ronan made no meaningful contribution after that and was substituted later on.
Still Listry were 3 ahead with about 2 minutes to go when DC from the wing kicked towards the post and in comes Paudie to fist to the net. Back came Listry to lead but DC kicked a brilliant equaliser from the wing to level it.
There were times in normal times when DC kept Fossa in it on his own. When starved of possession he foraged around the 45 and kicked brilliant scores.
He invariably makes the right decision on the ball.
He won the penalty and dispatched it well and applied the coup de grace with the final goal.
By that stage Ruari Murphy had been substituted too and the game was up for Listry.
Aaran oShea kicked 4 points from play for Listry and Ruairi Murphy kicked 2.
Wonderful entertainment for a tenner. Great service.
The senior club and junior club finals have been great spectacles and when you see joy and despair in equal measure at the end you know what these competitions means to club players.

Great win by Fossa, battle of the parish’s , great entertainment, well done to both teams, but the Clifford carnival moves on.
On the munster club game tonight, what a magnificent performance by Clonmel over nemo, power running game and great scores to match.

That point by David to level it up says much more about him than the goal.
A big moment when his team needed it the most, a true leader.

On a related topic, does anyone know why the junior became the premier junior and the novice became the junior?

Most counties have Junior A and Junior B. Junior A qualify for Munster. Our Junior is now the same as Junior B. There is still a Novice Championship in Kerry.
