They tried that a few years ago but gave up I'd say. Haven't been stopped walking across the terrace in years.

Will be there early for the minor match so I plan to have a good central position

So would half time of the minor or about 1 o clock do to get a daycent spot?

Drinking is for after the games. Need a clear head to watch the football.

Better off do your drinking in Tralee anyway, Killarney is a kip.

I wouldnt bank on that. They have had to improve health and safety standards on the Terrace at Fitzgerald Stadium with additional exits built on the boundary wall with Finians. They also need to control numbers in the various areas of the terrace to allow for safe exiting.

They have barriers now they can put across across the walkways at top and bottom between the various zones. While they position stewards on the steps between the zones you can still slip across the steps from one zone to another.

There is a heightened safety awareness now in terms of everything going on in the UK and Continent and I'd expect things to be a bit more stringent on Munster Final day.

Anyone know what they mean by seat '22 25'? Maybe just a count of the number of tickets sold in that section or something?

Just to keep track of how many sold. There's no seats or designated spot to stand

Imagine the chaos!

€35 for the stand tickets. Has it been that high the last few years. I was expecting €30. Still it'll be worth it if we win.

well that is what I thought, just thought that they would keep the count of tickets sold for internal use and not mark it down as a 'seat number' for the terrace tickets.

I keep match tickets. In 2007, a stand ticket for the Munster Final in Killarney between Kerry and Cork cost.................................€35:D

Fair play to the GAA in terms of ticket prices, really are fantastic value in the main.

No problem strolling across to the terrace last year. Was down in the corner in the first row of seats. Couldnt see a thing because of the wire.

I wish I could say Id the same luck. We were in before the minor game and told we couldnt go to the terrace even though we had done it already that year. Madness and very disappointing.

Kerry were 2 points down in the Juniors going unto injury time.

Went a point up with 3 points.

Then conceded a point after a silly black card tackle left them a man short.

Extra time on now. Streamed on Kerry Gaa Facebook page.

Kerrydude1981

Eight points down at one stage in the second half,now winning 4-24 to 2-20

Fair scoring by both teams

DDC1990

Nice win in the end.

4-24 to 3-20.

Third Cork goal came after some ****ing around the back and Mac an tSaoir got caught in posession and the ball tapped into the empty net.

Brendan O'Sullivan and Phillip O'Connor were very good in extra time.

How Rob O Se didn't start for the under 21s is beyond me. Next Senior Midfielder without a doubt, most impressive player on display tonight. Liam Carey did very well when introduced.

Rob made a difference when he came on against Galway. There was a serious amount of hiding around the middle during that game but he was game.

D'Agger

Midfield was nuts last night....CBs didn't hold and so Cork and Kerry took turns absolutely pissing through the middle. O'Toole from Eire Og finished with 2-1 and he was in and out of the match, I actually think he could have done more damage.

Kerry were away at the fairies for kickouts first half, pushed up in the 2nd and kept Cork penned in

7-44 scored, well worth €10

Jack Savage out with appendix op.

Lads long shot but does anyone have a stand ticket for Sunday going spare. I have my season ticket but the fiance is down and I can't leave her in the terrace.

Thanks

As a outsider would be interested to know what is thought of donaghy starting. Is it a dummy move? Would have thought his only role is as an impact sub these days. Seems to be an absolute ****load of wing forwards on the bench but lacking cover 13-15?

He was one of the two names I heard were burning it up in training the last while, so I'd really doubt it's a dummy team. The other name I heard was Sean O'Shea and the person I was talking to said he'd be in the panel ahead of Sheehan which was correct as well.

Personally I'd like a bit more attack-minded players in the half-forward line, the three selected aren't really attacking enough to my min as a unit and I think Cork are likely to be weak enough there.

Very few expected Fionn Fitz to keep his place after the last day - the talk was that Killian would be back and it would be between him and Shanahan.

Both Stephen O'Brien and BJK are better in the full-forward line to my mind so definitely not concerned about a lack of cover there.

I heard Killian has a hip injury.
