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 Neil McGee and I think it was 2015 or 2016.A disgusting act and as bad as I've seen. 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 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 |

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.

It was a terrible act and he got what he deserved. I have no time for lowlife acts on the gaa field from any player including Kerry. |

Great time for Alan in my parish in Castle.
It was a shocking thing to do but Alan gave mcgee a blooded nose so he got his answer.
I think David can mind himself but regardless I want him to get a break.
Give the lad a few weeks off.. and I expect Jack to do that because he knows his importance.

I remember it well not only for that reprehensible act but also Mr Gallagher on the sideline whose antics were among the most obnoxious, distasteful and crass you could ever wish to see on the side of the pitch. Would a grown man not be mortified for it. We beat the buggers at least and Star made sure to protect the lads around him that day. I remember a lot of comment online after (mostly from Dubs) trying to twist it all into being Kerry who were the aggressors.
Always had great time for Donegal as a county and people and was very sad, as I've said elsewhere, to see the big man bow out this week. But my God under that Fermanagh man they were spiteful!

McStay would appear to have been dealt a harsh blow if reports are true of Oisin Mullen and Lee Keegan being unavailable in 2023.
i think Keegan is the greatest player Mayo has ever produced. Give me Keegan over, McHale, MacDonald, O'Sheas, O'Connors or Brady any day.
Keegan never hid.
I would have him on par with Willlie Joe and that's saying something.
Was thinking we will be undercooked going into the start of league because of the team holiday, although they are far from a one man outfit, Donegal aren't far off it and a Murphyless Donegal are less of a fear even if they will have had a McKenna Cup run behind them.

Keegan has certainly been one of the greats but the news on himself and Oisín Mullen might be premature. The latest article I read says they both are still part of the Mayo panel for 2023.However maybe that's the line thrown out by Mayo CB as they have nt been officially told yet. If true both will be huge losses especially Keegan. Murphy also huge loss but maybe it will give the other Donegal forwards more chance to express themselves now. Sometimes when the star player is missing the other step up to the mark. |

According to 24.ie sport, David Clifford has been nominated by EK board as Captain in 2023.

He has earned the right as he has had a long season as his club Westport finally got their hands on a county title. If I was a Mayo supporter I'd be looking for Lee to have a midfield role next season if he returns, he was a big threat going forward under Rochford previously. It might be a role that could excite him and encourage him to stay on another year or 2. |

Mid field or a forty yard berth is no place for tired legs, intercounty is a young man's game, more so a pivotal or central role.
I'm a huge fan of Keegan but think a wing role is best suited as invariably teams will pull their wing forwards back behind the defence so he would be the spare roaming role.

I know what you mean but once he still has a bit of pace I think it can work. I remember Dublin putting Barry Cahill cf in 2011. |

The Examiner has an article that Jack Savage will be available for Kerry in 2023.
I think this is brilliant news for Kerry as we need everyone onboard again and I thought Jack did very well when he played last year particularly against Armagh.

Id say you guys or the dubs will win sam sadly not us ODonoghue, Conroy and OConnor is a serious FF line. Mayo will get a bounce out of Mcstay too. Mullin is a huge loss there's no getting away from that. And the elephant in the room is what to do with Aidan OShea. |

Not A fan of the big man, in all honesty, think he is overrated and un f iu fortunately goes into hiding when needed the most in big games.
Murphy stood up when Donegal needed him, seminar Seanie or DC for us nowadays, Declan, Donaghy or Cooper likewise... Cooper, Connolly and Rock for Dublin.... they never shirked.
Mayo's best game or display was beating Dublin in extra time- that day AOS was removed from the field.
My opinion, leave him at FF and persist with him there, in his defence he does get thrown from pillar to post... leave at FF or suggest club football
