Website

[Kerryman 2]

Hi just wondering what does everyone think of the Kerry gaa website.
The fixture and result section is very poor. It’s near I’m possible see all county league fixtures and results from week to week?

Also they use to retweet final county league results on Twitter I see they stopped doing this as well?

What do ye think?

[southward]

It can be fairly disjointed alright.

It is very poor. Impossible to get results or tables.

[Kerryman 2]

Currently looking at it and the page won’t load and if it does it’s limited amount of results

Same here. I just looked at it before I saw this thread. It's very poorly updated

[Premier]

Can’t even get into the results and fixtures section now. The website has been a mess for a while now

[shannonsider]

This has been a major bugbear of mine for a while. It’s a joke that you can’t look at league results or fixtures with ease.

Whoever they are using for the website it could badly do with a change. Having been involved in other counties like Dublin results and fixtures are crystal clear on the board website. It’s poor stuff at the moment by Kerry.

[goforit2]

It's time for an upgrade. It's hard to find anything on the site.

[clubman]

Another vote here for a revamp.
Its almost impossible to get results for the clubs, its a poor layout and shouldnt be this difficult to isolate senior scores from underage matches

[hurlingman]

It has to be one of the worst sites for a county. Very hard to find anything on it. It's not actually that long ago it was revamped I think.

[homerj]

gaa websites, arent the best overall including many top counties, so we are not alone there at all.

[kerryblueboy]

The twitter section used to be great for updates and scores it’s very poor now very frustrating

[glengael]

I find myself going to club Twitter accounts to get the scores/results.

So do I. Badly needs an upgrade.

[dubaigaa2022]

The Kerry GAA website is crap... just not good enough really ..

Apparently it’s ’sponsored’ by Paul Geaney’s pub, bit of a conflict of interests if you ask me to have a member of the panel involved in funding for the county gaa board

It’s dreadful & not good enough - I took the trouble of e-mailing the county PRO & received a response - basically it’s all the fault of ServaSport who process the information!!!!

[ballybunion]

Yes it is dreadful. The website itself is ok but the results/fixtures section is terrible and not good enough. You go and watch your club play on Sunday afternoon, you win lose or draw and then you go home to check the results. What do you get?
...Loading data....Loading data come back next week !!!
Also why cannot the schools and Coiste na nOg fixtures/results sections be put under seperate sub sections. We should not have to trawl through U13 etc and college fixtures when there is no need. Now it is great that we have the facility to check Coiste and college fixtures but sub section them for easier and faster search.
We did have much better results/fixtures with previous servers its backwards we have gone.
I think its time to get rid of ServaSport. Over to you media section of KCC.

It's always someone else's fault when something doesn't work.

Remember during Covid when the streaming of games didn't work? People who complained about it were ignored and the CB basically pretended like it never happened.

I have always believed in the mantra - he who pays the piper, calls the tune

CB pays for a service and if its not being done correctly they have the power to address it, provided somebody in the CB gives a damm and its not just a box ticking exercise of yes we have a website, job done.

The buck stops with the PRO - if she wants it updated/upgraded then it would be done.

The county board’s focus is solely on our county teams - there is little regard for clubs.

Recently an e-mail issued from Terence Houlihan inviting clubs to enter their names for the county U21 championship- in excess of 16 teams submitted their interest - he advised those who were over his limit of 16 that they would have to play with their division.

We are trying to promote participation & have introduced development leagues to cater for those who have drifted away - clubs now will have 5/6 participants at best on a divisional team compared to keeping 15/20 U21s still playing!!

A few years ago I asked why the only updates of an U20 Munster championship hurling game came from the CB Twitter page retweeting Munster GAA and got a reply of basically if I was worried about it I should volunteer. I'm aware that it is done by volunteers but this game was in Tralee. I can remember who against but I think the footballers were playing a league in the North. I asked how come all the CB officials were able to travel half way up the country yet not one of them could come to Tralee. Needless to say there was no response.

A terrible indictment of the mentality that prevails at CB level - the future of club football and ultimately our intercounty team is totally dependent on transitioning underage players into senior ranks. I have long taken issue with the total lack of effort that goes into this aspect of our association. The u20/21 grade had been treated as an irritation that must be run off each year and rather than seeing it as an essential competition in retaining players its treated with contempt.
Surely it should be celebrated that more than 16 teams are interested in playing in this grade.

Nail on the head - it’s an irritation & treated as such.
There has been NO club championship in years - ask if it’s being held & you will be told yes.
A while back Div6 for B teams was one division giving teams 11/12 games a year - when the current secretary took charge it changed to two divisions, obviously halving the no of games!!

Not correct. There are now Div5A and Div5B with 8 teams each. Same with Div6A and 6B.
The teams play play 7 games in their own group.
Then the top 4 from each group goes into Div 5 Promotion Group giving another group of 8.
Teams carry the points they won against the top 3 teams in their group into the new group and they play the four teams that topped the other group.
The top three teams are then promoted.
There is also a Div 5 and Div 6 relegation group with the same system.

New system, first time being tried but it gives teams 12 games in the League.

Apologies- my bad; was not aware they had altered the system!

One can only hope that the terracetalk website data can somehow be saved and merged into an ongoing Kerry GAA Results site/forum or whatever.

As an aside, there are no positional changes in the Top 10 Championship scorers after two games, but a few changes are imminent.
Here is the current (6 May 2024) status, with goals and points combined:

1 Colm Cooper 352 total points
2 Mike Sheehy 293
3 Maurice Fitzgerald 240

4 Sean O'Shea 206
5 Dara O'Cinneide 183
6 tie Pat Spillane and Bryan Sheehan both with 179

8 Paul Geaney 178
9 David Clifford 175
10 Mike Frank Russell 154

I would not hold my breath on any merger with terracetalk website.

There’s no drive or initiative in current PR & Marketing in county board - there are no match reports being submitted currently - it was required a few years ago that home PROs submit reports - this has ceased. Most club PROs post now to their own websites - county board are way out of touch on this issue.
The county PRO held a zoom call with PROs at the beginning of last year to get their views on match reports - she undertook to do a survey of all clubs as not all clubs were represented on the night - that survey never took place !!
