Good win, penalty was against run of play in that first half and felt Kerry controlled it. Cork had a purple patch in the second half and brought it back to a point but couldn't draw level and Kerry regained the initiative and saw it home.

Christ but we made that a lot closer then it ought to have been. Dominated the game but conversion rate was very poor. Kept Cork in it really.

Decent performance. Better team. White was excellent in first half. Yes, he was. We looked strong in midfield also and in the full back line. Keeper was solid. Felt the ref didn't do us many favours.

This team has a very North Kerry feel to it - 2 from East Kerry, cant believe Ben Kelliher is not on the panel - have watched him all the way up - he can score - feeling we played a very restrictive style - White the only flair player

i assume if we do reach a final and its cork, that game will be played in Cork? thats worth 4 or 5 points to them if that is what does happen.

Kicking away a lot of chances here. Kerry had 30 scoring chances and only took 12! Cork only missed 9 compared to Kerrys 18. Despite our dominance, we also gave away 23 frees.

Kerry 0-12. Cork 1-7. HT 0-7. 1-2
It was bitter being perched in that stand this evening. The cold feeling was made more obvious in the first half due to the tentative nature of the football. However , as the second half progressed one forgot about the weather as the match developed into a great contest in spite of the scarcity of the scores.
There were only a few souls on the terrace but the stand was practically full. I suspect people would admit they got full value for their money. I did in any case having paid just E5 as an OAP. There was only one point in it at about the sixtieth minute. The reality is it should never have been that close. It was that close due to a couple of reasons. We kicked too many wides , albeit most from long distance. Another reason, I suppose I am biased, is that we got nothing from the referee. Off the top of my head I am not sure if we got any scoreable free. Cork got a lot. Another reason, when we were well on top in the first half, Cork got a very dubious penalty. For a foot block, somebody said. Don’t think so.
That penalty gave Cork a lift and very nearly scored another goal shortly afterwards but Kacber Robak made a great save. Kacper is one big boy. He made another great save in the second half. After that scare , Kerry took over again, mainly due to some great fielding by Ben Murphy and Killian Dennehy at midfield. However , our dominance was not being reflected on the scoreboard. During that half , Gearóid White and Joey McCarthy were our main threat up front.
While we were not as dominant at midfield in the second half , we were still on top but like the first half we had too many wides. In defence of our profligacy, we did kick some great long range points too. The nearest we came to a goal was when Ronan O’Carroll neatly beat the goalie but the ball was taken off the line by one of the backs. That was the score which would have sealed it earlier. I was expecting more from Ronan and I imagine there is lot more in him. Michael Horan from Scartaglen in the corner worked very hard in the second half.
All the subs made a significant contribution. Our backs as a unit were very tight, with the referee making some harsh calls against them.
It was too close for comfort in the end but there something about this team that I like.

Kerry made very hard work of seeing off a very average Cork team .Won’t mention names but felt the Kerry players with big reputations coming into this game were very poor tonight thought the Kerry goalkeeper did really well making two very good saves .Fearful that thecQuinlivan legacy might continue the mediocrity of the Costello era .Was underwhelmed by Kerry tonight but in fairness their first night out so they will hopefully improve .12 points won’t suffice against the better teams later in the campaign .

Wasn't there, watched on YouTube. Looked like Cork defended in big numbers. 13 inside their own 45 I counted at 1 point in the second half!. Kerry never really got the opportunity to give the forwards a good run at space.
Long journey in this one yet. Tipperary next?

Overall not a bad performance for their first outing. I thought the backs did well . I’m very surprised Adam Byrne and Ben Kelleher from Crokes and David Grebowiec and Liam O’Sullivan from Kenmare didn’t make it . Hopefully the team will give it a good go this year.

Would not be familiar with those players you mentioned but am I right in speculating they are all from Kerry south

Like previous contributors i thought that the ref. was poor and seemed to have the opinion that the game was more about himself rather than the 30 competitors on the field. Our backs were fairly tight up to the last 10 minutes but seemed to lose their shape then, while Gearoid White was the pick of the forwards more so in the first half. Some of the more highly regarded players in the midfield and forwards need reminding that while in attack mode in particular that they should look up more often rather than going for individual glory. The high percentage of misses can hopefully be rectified as the championship progresses. On another issue it was highly disappointing and shameful that patrons were not allowed entry at the turnstiles by cash contribution, the people that make these decisions should hang their heads in shame and remember where they once came from.

Re cash, I'd say too much mone was going missing at the gates. I remember hearing that Galway County board almost doubled their income when they went from old-style pay at the gate to one man with an old biscuit tin to a ticketed system for their county championships. It would just be incompetence by the GAA to be still accepting cash in this day and age.

Re cash, I'd say too much mone was going missing at the gates. A former treasurer of the Kerry County Board told me that a lot of houses in Tralee were bought or built on the back of Austin Stack Park gate money.

Another reason, when we were well on top in the first half, Cork got a very dubious penalty. For a foot block, somebody said. Don’t think so. Cork got 1-4 of their tally from frees/penalty. Kerry got one point. A foul at one end just didn't seem to be a foul at the other. In injury time, with the game in the balance, a Kerry player was fouled around the Cork 45. The referee clearly put up the hand for advantage but when the ball was turned over maybe 1-2 seconds later, no free was given. That could have been a critical turning point. Don't think we got a fair shake all evening tbh.

On the cash issue, it should be consideration rather than dictation, it is not a one fix for all. Remember there are still a lot of people who do not for various reasons have internet access or live too far from outlets to pre-purchase tickets so is it right that those supporters are the victims. Like all financial transactions there are plenty of secure alternatives that could be attached to at least one turnstile, but unfortunately "big brother" must have a say on everything nowadays. The serious disconnect between the GAA authoritarians and the general membership not alone on this issue is down to arrogance mainly and having been a lifelong GAA activist myself i fear for the future with that mindset at the top table of possibly one of the best organizations in the world.

Would agree with previous comments, don’t want to be too harsh but Murt is not as funny as he seems to think he is. Why he is doing co-commentary I don’t know.

It took the minors a long time to get going. I got the impression there was a certain complacency, taking victory for granted against an opponent perceived to be weaker. A dangerous mindset.
The concession of the goal was a farce. A combination of poor positioning by the defender and indecisiveness by the goalie. I do feel that goalie is normally competent.
One question. , perhaps for supporters of Austin Stacks. What has happened Ronan O’Carroll who was very good last year. He was poor against. Cork , poorer still last night before eventually being replaced. Is he carrying an injury ? In any case he is no where near the level of last year with Stacks and Kerry. My opinion of this boy is that he has a lot more to offer. Maybe we will see it against Cork on Monday night.

For a team that hasn't been overly impressive in their matches so far, I'm surprised that there hasn't been any changes made to the match day panel for this evening. They seem to be lacking in lads who are confident in their shooting ability, so I thought that Adam O'Neill would have been a good option on the bench. Hopefully they'll have a better 1st half performance this evening than they've had in the matches played up to now. Cork can't be as poor as they were in Tralee, and playing in PUC could be worth a few points to them. Whichever way it goes, there's quarter final matches ahead for both teams.

Cork were missing 5/6 bodies last time in tralee including captain and centre back who was a minor last year Kerry haven’t impressed so far with the household names not living up to it yet It’ll be a interesting clash in pairc ui rinn Surely worth a few scores to cork playing there
