The 2 teams promoted from division 2 will be ranked 7/8. The 2 teams relegated from division 1 will be ranked 9/10. Also the team who wins the Division 2 League Final will be ranked 7th even if they weren't top after the 7 regular games. It's the same for all the league finals. The winner is ranked higher than the loser even if the winner of the final finishes lower than the loser after the regular rounds. This gives a bit more importance to the league finals. The division 3 League final will be very significant. The team ranked 16 will not make the senior championship as a division 4 team is guaranteed a place in the Connacht final. Also, if Westmeath do not make the division 3 final, as Tailteann cup winners they will replace the task ranked 15 in the senior championship. It could end up that neither of the division 3 finalists play in the senior championship. At most one of them will.

Monaghan Roscommon and Armagh are the closest to me here in Dublin but they are "Home" fixtures. I will have a lot of miles on the click this Spring.

I think this will be a more challenging league for Kerry. What if any hangover may be there after winning everything last year. Tough away games in Donegal, Mayo, Tyrone and Galway. No easy games there. I'd expect Kerry win all their home games however. Armagh seems the best of the home games and interestingly there's no accommodation in Tralee for that weekend. I'd expect to see a good league from Mayo under new management and with injured lads back. Tyrone to bounce back to restore some pride. Monaghan and Roscommon to go down. Is the Kerry Armagh game definitely fixed for Tralee? And what’s with the accommodation issue that weekend?

Good luck with getting reasonable priced accommodation for a family. Hotels are unusually busy and will be for some time for non tourism reasons and prices everywhere are ridiculous. Looked at Westport for the Mayo game last week and it's insanely priced

We were thinking of going down on the train and maybe staying somewhere within walking distance of the ground. Might have to rethink that.

The train station is about 5 mins walk from the stadium in tralee, if ye wanted to stay in killarney and get train in before the game Throw in time tho dictates what happens after as their maybe no train back. Flying up and down from Dublin is another option, flights are set price €19.99

I hope that the Kerry management give both David and Paidi a break at the start of the year. The miles they have clocked up this year is massive.

And they will be entering into the Munster Junior now as well. At least he is considered out of bounds, for dirty play locally, my one fear is some lad wanting to make a name for himself may try to, say unsettle. I know DC is a big lad a pne more than capable of minding himself, but I recall Moynihan when about the same age, getting his jaw broken in an early round Sigerson cup or college game.

Looking at the spread of scorers that Fossa have- i could see some team taking a red card just to take DC out of the game. From a logical perspective, you’d have a much better chance of winning with 14 against 15 but no DC than you would in a 15v15 game including him.

I think people are prepared to do a lot. Rattle a player, yes. Cheat in the various ways. Be cynical. Lie. Etc.
But I do think that is a line that is no longer crossed, and I can't think of a single, recent cast iron example of it.
You can probably seriously injure a player without incurring a red card, and we don't see that.

Flying is a great option, 1 hour down the M1 and 40 mins on the plane.

I think the start of the league is looking tricky for a number of reasons -Kerry team holiday on 4th of December, could set them back a few weeks in terms of fitness. As we saw last year with tyrone it will difficult to catch up during the leagie -probably missing two cliffords for the opening few rounds -Away to Donegal opening round

Was that a display of violence or an attempt to injure a player to the extent of getting them off the field? Cast iron?

One of the McGees trying to break the finger Alan Fitz from castlegregory is a fairly clear attempt to injure a player and that happened recently at intercounty level
