I think there needs to be a minimum of 2 per county playing for these games over the course of the weekend so I don't think we'd have much choice but to have fellas from Kerry playing. Really? Or what, like? Don't think there's any "or what". Like saying we can play 25 year olds at U21 level, "or what". There needs to be 2 from each county and that is just the rule, no ifs or buts about it. |

Sorry, I'm not trying to be smart here, just curious. Whose rule is this and by what authority is anybody compelled to play in the railway cup? Am I missing something? |

Not sure who made the rule, I just remember hearing it from Maurice Brosnan (I think it was). Nobody has to play but it is up to the respective managements to ensure there are at least 2 from every county on the panels. I don't think it will be 2 hard to get 2, players seem keen to play by all accounts. Enda Smith, John Maher, Johnny Heaney, Aidan O'Shea, Stephen Cluxton & James McCarthy are some of the names set to play. Not sure about Munster or Ulster names but I expect a good few marquee players. |

Congrats to Kerry manager Jack O’Connor in two years he took player of the year and the best forward in Ireland David Clifford and made him look a very ordinary corner forward. What he scored against Armagh one point from play right in hundred minutes of football. Wow and our next best forward Paul Geaney didn’t even score. Great work and he still has a job something wrong there. Everyone can't be wrong and it will be the biggest mistake ever in the GAA in my lifetime, and while I'm only one person it is surprising no big names are talking up on his behalf, do they know something we all know? |

Is there an official panel submitted to the GAA for championship each year? I’m curious because it’s never officially released. You might see training panel members listed on team announcement's but this is not always the case. I’m asking because what is there to stop Kerry sending two AN Others to play with Munster even if they are nowhere near the Kerry panel? For example, Jack asks his sons to do him a favour and they are the Kerry representatives, who is going to say they are not part of Kerry panel and what can they point to? |

The response from the county board and the Kerry senior football management regarding the participation of county players in the divisional championship has, in my opinion, been managed poorly.
This situation places significant mental pressure on players who are already on the verge of so-called “BURNOUT”, even if some have been out of championship for several weeks.
Numerous clubs have expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which this issue has been addressed. While it is widely acknowledged that there are challenges within the championship structure (club, county, and divisional) concerning scheduling, prohibiting players from participating is not a viable solution. The foundation of the GAA lies at club level.
There are reports that Beaufort may not fulfil their fixture against Milltown in the Mid Kerry Championship due to restrictions affecting their Kerry players

Of course, Kerry are under no obligation to provide any players next weekend but why wouldn’t they. Like any organisation, you can tell people to get stuffed if you want but at some stage you will need favours from this same bunch of people.
The fact that Cluxton and McCarthy are playing means that the wave of retirements that some including Dessie Farrell predicted may not be happing at all.

Yeah i read the article saying Munster seem to have to weakest panel and we have 5 reps.Donal Down that was dropped off Kerry panel also in. Looking through the team that played in the Semi vs Armagh & players who weren't playing the weekend gone that aren't on the Munster panel are as follows: Shane Ryan Paul Murphy Jason Foley Brian O'Beaglaioch Dara Moynihan Seanie O'Shea Surely 2/3 (barring injuries) of these could have been made themselves available. |

These lads have lives outside of football, would probably be another reason they might not be available

I don’t think anyone gives a dam who is playing this weekend.
Just let’s hope we get to see football played the way we would all like it to be seen, high scoring, one on one battles, no blankets, looking forward to it for sure.
I think the Saturday night final will be the asset test, as there will be a title at stake, will bring that added competitiveness.

County Final day approaching, the big 2 clubs go face to face to bring the Bishop home, who will prevail.
Interesting battle ahead, not much between the sides in my book, both very dependent on a fit first 15, any loss to either side will put pressure going into last 15, as bench depth will be challenged.
Has Keating recovered from injury, would be a huge loss, even in his young years.
The geaney boys are coming to form, Tom sull is back to his best, I am thinking Dingle might be holding the aces, so I am going with the boys back west to come thru in a tight game.

Lads it’s county final weekend, not a mouse in the house.
Interest seems pretty low, disappointing, with 2 best club teams in the county fighting out for the bishop.

There's a lot of other club matches on tomorrow. I'd say the conversation on the county final will be flying tomorrow night.
I think that Dingle will push Crokes, but the bigger stronger panel might tip the balance to Crokes. Whether Keating plays or not will have a big bearing on it.
I've nothing against Crokes, but I'd love to see Dingle finally win it. Some of their older players have always been great clubmen, so it'd be nice to see them rewarded for their efforts.

In general the Championship this year had been below the usual hype (and attendances) significantly, somewhat vetoed by Dingles win over East Kerry. Will be interesting to see what kind of turnout shows in Tralee on Sunday. In my opinion it is the closest final on paper in some time, with no clear favourite. Bookies have margins as 1 point (favouring Crokes) but overall hard to call. |

say Dingle win, Matthew Flaherty will be the only present day player to hold senior hurling and senior football championship medals, he already has 2 senior hurling with Kilmoyley. I cannot think of anyone else

Dingle for me,
The difference between them is Tom OSullivans ability to potentially shut down Tony Brosnan.
Would be great to see a West Kerry winner.

Having seen a bit of both teams and giving that royalkerryfan thinks I am so good at telling the future, here is my guess, and a guess it is, just for the hell of it -
How stretched were Crokes vs Brendan's? Cracks were showing so can they work on those?
Dingle were solid v EK and while they wouldn't let go the rag, in fairness EK conceded, in a way it was more that EK lost but that opportunity often presents and the challenger doesn't take it. We often hear that if the outsider doesn't take it the first time they don't get a second chance, well here they held to a draw and then in ET they kind of broke down EK.
Now pitting them together on how they both played in the semis, jazus you couldn't call it - would the solid Dingle be able to open those cracks? Will those cracks be there tomorrow?
I suppose as a neutral you'd hope that both teams will be up a gear and if they are then it will be a right cracker.
Solid West Kerry bucks vs creative Crokes ... toss of a coin, Crokes pride might give them a sense of entitlement though the hoor in the Dingle psyche might have something to say about that and they'll do their talking on that beautiful sward that is ASP tomorrow after dinner - ah Sunday lunch your arse, we ate our dinner in the middle of the day!
So the question is, who will be at the table and who will be on the menu?

It’s Dingle’s to lose - strong defensively, keeping Crokes at bay & forcing them to shoot from distance - Gavin White with two fine scores, Burns marked out of it, Tony Brosnan taking poor shot options.

Was hoping for a Dingle win and feel for them.They remind me of Mayo in that their luck runs out.However thats not to take away from the Crokes who know how to win.
I did nt see game but listened to it on radio.Dingle were in a great position at half time with Dylan Geaney in top form.Fair play to Crokes in second half who scored the killer goals.
Commiserations to Dingle and congrats to Crokes one has to admire.
I hear Billy O Shea afterwards saying he love to see Pat O Shea involved with Kerry again in the near future.

Credit to Crokes, once they got into a winning position they never looked back. Championship winning experience showed. Gavin White my MOTM. |
