Very late alright, might be a small crowd, Tailteann final on before and Armagh tend to bring a crowd.

At this stage, I suspect no change to the starting 15. We got an impact today from the bench and we will need this again. P Geaney and Moynihan are the two under most threat but will hold on. The fact that Breen came on towards the end must mean Graham was not right today either moynihan can’t be starting against Armagh he has been poor all year but was very poor yesterday put Burke in and let him get going I would persist with geaney for now otherwise same 15 I thought Moynihan played well. Kicked some nice ball into the forward line. Also it's important to have someone to make an impact from the bench. Cillian Burke is an ideal sub with his direct running.

Dara does trojan work off the ball. It's not glamorous work he does but effective. Sometimes you need a tractor to help pull the Ferrari out of the muck...or so I'm told.

We're blessed to have such a strong panel. Killian Spillane would start for most teams.

Confirmed for Saturday 13th at 17:30. Well that rules me and my young family out of attending. Would be midnight before we get home. can i ask why it rules you out? surely getting home at midnight Saturday night (with a full days rest for work monday morning) is better than getting home at 10.30pm on Sunday night? Saturday evening is best for supporters surely, in fact i think in the past several times we asked for saturday games as opposed to sunday.

Irish Rail might want to look at adding another service to Kerry on Sat night also. The last Kerry train on Saturdays leaves at 7pm which isn't much use to anyone attending the match. There's a train to Cork at 9pm, I think it's almost sold out and you'd need to find your own way from Mallow after that.

Very late alright, might be a small crowd, Tailteann final on before and Armagh tend to bring a crowd. Tailteann cup is dying a death already, crowds have been really really low at matches. 45k max at the Kerry v Armagh match. Do people know are the €10 kids juvenile tickets available for the semi-finals?

How much do you think Kieran Donaghy will influence the match ? Will he be all out to stop the kingdom or will part of him have mixed emotions?

I think it would be a discredit to Kieran if we think that he will have anything else on his mind other than willing an Armagh win. After the game is a different story.

Anybody who was at the game yesterday would’ve seen the serious amount of runs Paul Geaney made off his man without getting the ball, which as a fan was annoying and must be frustrating for Paul. I thought he looked sharp right up to his shot that dropped short with his left. So for me I think Paul starting for 50 odd minutes and Killian Spillane coming in then is fine. Equally I can’t see why people would call for Brosnan to be dropped. 1 overcooked kick over the line which I thought was partially Begleys fault, he was good. And the key thing is that on top of his work rate and speed, he’s a scoring threat. 2 good points and on another day he could have had a couple more. He’s well worth his place on form and I honestly wasn’t sure how he would fare. Seeing Cillian Burke’s impact and how willing he was to take on his man at pace, which causes terror to opponents, made me long for us to go with the progressive selection and not the conservative approach. Armagh are a team that try to play like Derry but I feel they will be slightly easier to play against in one sense even though they offer more of a threat than Derry up front overall. Yes I too was at the game and also noticed Paul Geaney making great runs and available but was ignored.I felt for Paul yesterday and for David and Seanie too.Its very frustrating for a forward to make the run and get into good position and then no ball comes in. Every one of those runs contributed to tiring out the opposition - they were important in ensuring our fresher legs could do the damage in the last 10 minutes. All too often the unseen (and un appreciated) work that goes on in a game is ignored.

Donaghy will not be a factor at all, though I imagine some journalist somewhere will create a story about him,

At least if the show isn't appealing on the eye it won't be a shock.
The question is: will Armagh play cagey (losing football), or actually go out and try and win the thing? They should be spooked by what Kerry did yesterday.

I think there is a case for Burke and Killian Spillane starting over Moynihan and Geaney. I understand the want to keep impact on the bench but Moynihan and Geaney are also able to provide an impact. If we could get 50 minutes of similar performance levels from Burke and Spillane to their cameos yesterday and improved performances for 20 minutes from Moynihan and Geaney we’d be in a better position. I think Moynihan and Geaney have started a lot of big Croke Park games without making a huge impact, might be time to mix it up.

I would think Moynihan is most under pressure - he offers workrate , tracking back but the impact of Cillian Burke was most impressive- however, Cillian is short on experience & this may count against him. Stephen O’Brien seems to have dropped down the pecking order though. I would stick with Paul G - his hard running was not rewarded yesterday with little or no ball played his way - his score from play was a scant reward for his effort. We are in a good position now off the bench - yesterday’s subs all made a difference - add in Graham & you have a very strong squad.

They're fairly cheap outside of the usual tourist spots.

I would be hoping Jack sticks with the same again. I'm not so sure about Cillian in from the astart. He was animal when he came in yesterday when the opposition had tired and his bullet runs were unstoppable.
This is exactly what was needed and most likely will be needed against Armagh.
I recall Stephen Ó' Brien's cameo off the bench in last year's semi final gave him the starting berth on D-day. A decision which ultimately didn't pay off and left our bench shy of an impact. I see Cillian Burke in the same light. Let him loose again down the stretch is my gut feeling. I fear he'd be swallowed up if the game was tight and cagey if he was to start.
A word on Tony Brosnan. It's fantastic to see him back and playing as well as he is. He's been like a new addition this summer and has strengthened our hand no end. A fully fit Ó' Beaglaoich as well. I believe we'd be going for 3 in a row had we these 2 lads at the peak of their powers last year.

So, we meet again.
Eighteen years after the last championship meeting. Both teams will feel they have a better performance in them after the weekend’s games.
We’ve finally got the quarter final monkey off our backs, and hopefully that win at Croke Park will give us the confidence to push on further.
Really looking forward to this one. This game will tell us where we’re really at.

What players are you expecting to make an impact Ard Mhacha?
To be perfectly honest I don't watch as much neutral games anymore as the game has gone so bad.
I don't know too many off the current team. Not like the 00's team which I probably could still name from 1-15. Is Jarly Burns on the bench due to injury or on merit? He struck me as one of the better players in the last few years. Soupy Campbell is well able to kick from distance and should be a good impact sub.
My memory of the 06 game was the 3 O'Se's performance. In particular, Dara's run where he shrugged McGrane aside like a loaf of bread.

His assets are best equipped to exploit a tired defence where the game is a little fragmented. He’d be wasted with the tentative shadow boxing at the start

If the first half fight vs Derry happened after half time it may have ignited the match. This Armagh team had a reputation for brawling but maybe they have realised it is a false economy.

Burke was great when he came on and seems to be much stronger but the game suited him at that stage. As I mentioned on the match thread Moynihan did ok in the second half and his foot passing was quite accurate/incisive. His general work rate also is best suited to starting.

It's only been a matter of months since he started in a league match and he's after filling out something unreal in this time. Could see him Midfield (with Jack Barry) next year, and beyond
