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 FYI Castlebar might be less expensive than Westport though the latter is a lovely wee town.

Hi Ard Mhaca.To my knowledge the game isn't fixed for certain yet.It could be on the Saturday evening or Sunday.Its showing provisionally for the Saturday/Sunday.If its on Sat night it will be on in Tralee but if its on the Sunday Id say It will be Killarney. My understanding its a sat night game under lights in Tralee but I'm open to correction. I checked accommodation for that date and there was nothing in Tralee. Literally nothing.

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 would think it is still very much a live possibility

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.

But as you say, if it’s a night game, a return trip might be an issue. Never thought about flights. That could be an option too. Thanks for the information.

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

To be fair to Neil Magee though he said its his biggest regret. He admitted he was pumped up and stepped over the line. I agree but it shows that players do still try to injure others at times

I had forgotten that incident where Neil McGee tried to break finger/fingers of Alan Fitzgerald. One of the most despicable acts I have seen on a football field. A calculated effort at maiming an opponent . I think Alan gave him a bloody nose for his troubles . The more I think about it the more repulsive and cowardly it becomes.
Alan was very promising around that time but seemed to fall by the wayside thereafter.

Alan was very promising around that time but seemed to fall by the wayside thereafter. That incident more or less cost him his intercounty career. He was getting a run that year in the league and the sending off and subsequent suspension really cost him. The fact that he was commuting up and down from Dublin for training didn’t help but I think we never saw the best of him in a Kerry jersey as I always thought he had something to offer as a squad player

I agree but it shows that players do still try to injure others at times Not as common anymore I think but yes there is always the odd exception. Definitely not common but my point was that it still can happen and does even at the highest level.

Alan was very promising around that time but seemed to fall by the wayside thereafter. Alan certainly did make an impact on his nose. So much so that Mc Gee came back on with a large roll of cotton wool sticking out of his nostril. I took some photos of the incident at the time. Alan was certainly shaping up to be a regular in the full forward lone but I believe a bad back got in the way. I can relate to his pain. My football days finished in my mid 20s for similar reasons though I wasn't as big a loss as Alan Fitz.

I think Alan got the red card over turned on the grounds of self defence. I think it was injuries that curtailed his career.
