Kerry GAA discussion thread #2

Bass Reeves

In every match you expect defenders to play on the border or beyond on defenders. Every defender with every County dose it. Refs cannot watch it all. However you expect refs, and linesmen to deal with what they see in front of them and if there is continuous treatment of certain players you expect them to use there umpires as well.
The refs in both games were brutal on Sunday. In the first Match the ref was slow to pull for steps and Mayo made hay with that. As well Mayo players tended to block the run of Meath players. Everybody looks for it in attack The mayo players did it to block a defenders movement after they laid off the ball.

In the Kerry match the ref and his officials failed to deal with any of this. He failed to deal with Sean O Shea's treatment right in front of him. It more puzzling in that in other matches over the last few weeks refs were really on top of it and gave frees 20-30 meters ahead of play

One of the linesmen was Joe McQuillan so no more needs to be said.

Because Kerry football fans are traditionally a shower of whinge bags, constantly bemoaning the way the game is now played and constantly complaining about the treatment their players get while ignoring the fact that they have had a good share of toe rags doing the same thing themselves over the years.

That is utterly hilarious coming from you or any Mayo fan. Any brief look/listen to Mayogaablog after a Mayo loss would dispel your lack of self-awareness..if you were being honest.

And I'm not going to have anyone suggest that the inane ramblings of Tim Moynihan represent anything resembling the general opinion of a Kerry football fan..ever. The "analysts" they consistently use are well known to be fairly clueless by anyone with a brain also so not worth discussing.

The ref favoured Donegal with more calls than Kerry last Sunday I think it's fair to say, but there are days when the reverse is true..it's human nature and Sport. Not worth half the whinging on either side of the argument tbh.

Mr. Incognito

Are you sure you want to add Fr Tod Umptious to your ignore list?

Just do it. No point feeding the trolls.

Any couple of the juniors worth a call up to the squad after winning another All Ireland?
Jack Brosnan
Stephen O Sullivan
John Mark Foley
Micheal Foley
Any of them better than what we have on the bench?

Tomás O'Sé's Red Card appeal successful according to tomorrow's Kerry's Eye.

That’s good news for him- whether he should be anywhere near the panel is another question.

I have serious doubts about his ability and the fact that he let the team down temperament wise on his debut is an even bigger concern!

It's not a question though. The management put him on the panel and they feel he's obviously training well enough to play.

Ger Power a handy man with the fists.. 33 mins in. No bookings

It often a bigger jump up than you think. I have often seen lads that look great in Junior games be useless when put on a senior club team

He prob cost us the win the last day by raising his hands to a lad- I'd sit him back down

brocbrocach

I'd say it's a lesson learned and he'll be raring make it up.

You cannot blame any single event for the draw instead of win, you could just as easy blame Adrian Spillane getting sat on his ass by Murphy even though maybe he should have been replaced earlier but we had no other replacement mid fielder, you could blame the way Paul Geany went in on the tackle again that would usually be the replacement mid fielder covering that area. you could blame the points Cliffors missed at the start of the game or the free or two O'Shea missed. If young lads learn from thing like this they will not make those mistakes next year. TOS card was recinded so it may have been an overreaction by the ref more than a mistake by him. If he learns from it he be the better player for it

Well there's 15 names here but with the way its been, its probably not the starting 15.

I say it near enough the team. Only changes will be tactical to rest or save players. He may let Moran sit it out if he is not 100% or take him off early. Wite will play wing back, Enright will go center and Crowley will play in front of the defence.. Keane is playing a kind of advanced sweeper game with the extra defender supporting midfield. Killian Spillane earned his second chance and a good game tomorrow will get him the last place in the forwards.

keane2097

Yeah I'd actually be surprised if that team doesn't start nearly. David probably needs games.

Was very impressed with the Kerry un20 hurlers in Navan on before the football yesterday.

Barry Mahony from Crotta and O Sullivan from Kilgarvan look like serious inter county prospects.

Could be both on the senior football panel next year, if so their hurling days are over

Fred C Dobbs

I've 2 Premium Level tickets for next Sunday's semi final but would like to swap them for Mayo (Dublin/Tyrone) on the Saturday. If interested, please send me a personal message (I'm from Waterford, married to a Mayo woman, living in Dublin).

A Crokes man and Tralee Parnells man as well.

A Narrie if you please!

Was talking to a fella at the game yesterday about this incident. He said the Legion number 9 was the Stacks manager previously and the stacks man on the receiving end is Ronan Shanahan. Can anyone shed any light on it. A fairly ferocious incident and only a 4 game ban for it.

That is absolutely scandalous. Horrific hit.

mystic86

who is that number 9, where is the team sheet? Crazy

A complete and utter coward, he didn't even see him coming. You can hear the belt. Should be a minimum 1 year ban if not a civil case.

Uncle Mclovin

Pretty sure it was Shaun Keane for legion and Barry Shanahan got hit for Stacks. Lost a few teeth and broken jaw from what I heard.

ciarriaithuaidh

It's a bad hit and should be dealt with accordingly but are we really going down the road of posting every belt from club games on social media?
