cant see the gaa getting rid of replays, its too much of a money spinner.
Easy to say with hindsight but there really should have been extra time played the last day, it said there would be on the match program and would have sorted out this mess

They introduced them a few years ago for everything up to provincial final, or it may have been SF, but it has since been dropped.

@wonga77 Page 5 above "Killorglin and District pipe Band" states no extra time

Yeah but the front cover which every single person would have seen states that there was extra time.
They couldnt even print the match programme correctly

We get blamed for everything sure

Probably be accused of supplying the watches too.

A query, when the 'injury time' is announced, is it two minutes of additional time or is it at least two minutes of additional time?

I wouldn't be Seamus Mulvihills biggest fan but I feel sorry for him. He's taking a lot of flak, whereas had South Kerry played till the whistle they would have no one to blame but themselves.

It's a minimum of X minutes a concept that seems lost on your average GAA supporter to be honest.

Donnacha Walsh Kerry's sole representative on the International Rules team.

I would have expected Tommy to tog out. Injury or lack on interest?

From speaking to a few of the Kerry lads they are easy enough about the international Rules,They don't fancy the drive to Meath for the training sessions after a long year and don't see the benefit of playing in it.

Each to there own i suppose

I don't see the benefit of any GAA player playing the Intl rules after the tough year they've put down. If a young player is looking for a shot at travelling to Australia to play AFL then go for it but any other player should be taking some time to themselves imo. They work hard enough.

Not a fan of the game in any way, a bit like shinty its a madey up sport attempting to combine two sports that bare a very slight resemblance to each other, but at the same time it is a chance, and the only chance in 99.9% of the players case, to represent their country. I wouldn't judge a player that decided either way, completely an individual choice.

Yeah I get that 100%. Wouldn't judge a player whether they choose to play or not. Their choice either way. Re reading my post it came across wrong. I don't have an issue with any player playing, I just think they give enough through the year so they shouldn't feel the need to play.

very good draw with two game at home - up against it, but defo rather have Offaly last up for sure, try build a bit of momentum.

I don't think that any of them feel "the need" to play. Why would they? They aren't paid employees of the GAA or the International Rules body. They are playing because they want to represent their country and wear the green jersey in a national squad - of sorts. When they look at all the hoopla that surrounds the rugby and soccer teams, can you blame them for wanting to know what a bit of that feels like? Or wanting to know what its like to play on the same side with the top players from other counties? Granted, playing in the AI rules is very far cry from a big World Cup game, or the Six Nations, but if its its the only chance they ever get, I can certainly see the attraction.

Fair play to all the lads involved, especially those who were playing well into September. I was thinking of going, but its a dead cert now that such a strong Irish squad has been named. Any GAA fan who isn't even mildly curious to see how Diarmuid Connolly, Lee Keegan, Aidan O'Shea, Phily McMahon, as well as the Footballer Of The Year get on, while playing on the same team, all captained by Bernard Brogan...needs to check their pulse !

I agree with all of that. I don't know why you think my post needed quoting there. It is good to see them playing of course.

homerjay2005

its a very strong team, the likes of Darren, Moran, Enright, Maher, Crowley could/should be involved but you can understand why they are not.

Certainly physical enough anyway. McBrearty, Aidan O Shea, Connolly, McMahon, Paul Cribbin plus whatever I'm missing. Will be interesting to see how both Ireland and Australia fare with the discipline compared to other years

Enright, Maher, Crowley and Darren are all either injured or due for operations soon so no way they were going to play.
Moran was in the mix but maybe the game just doesn't suit him or whatever.

homerjay2005

Dingle are fairly embarrassing themselves with their antics in recent days.

they should just get on with it - Legion are the last standing team Club in the county championship and are rightfully nominated to represent Kerry. as soon as they qualified for the final, Dingles progression to Munster should have been over regardless of the result.

Moran still carrying that back injury he had during the County Championship I believe. Surprised Tommy Walsh didnt get picked or make himself available whatever his own individual case is.

Heard rumours about multiple potential transfers to a Killarney club last night - unconfirmed as of yet but likely to be fairly controversial I'd imagine.

Anyone heard any talk?

Heard a rumour last week about a player from a North Kerry club joining a Killarney club alright,
