Sam Maguire Group 1 - Kerry, Louth, Mayo, Cork

[larryin89]

Yep , a fairly serious hand injury , won't be available for selection for a while . Cillian has had another knock back too . Tommy conroy struggling to find the form of two yrs ago and might never recover right . Robbie hennelly is part of the extended panel .

[The Coddfather]

What's the story with Rob Hennelly? Has he retired from inter county?

Trying to get on dublin panel

[Cunny Funt]

Could be a more difficult day in castlebar than the bookies suggest . Be a terrible watch with our bucks just squeezing past in the last 15mins when the blanket starts to tire .

Louth are poor defensively. I'd expect Mayo to score high have this contest wrapped up long before the last 15 minutes.

The team named to start is the same one that was published to start against Kerry yet three changes was made before throw in, the same to happen again here?

Perhaps they will , in the grand scheme of things though tbh from a mayo supporters perspective we aren't far enough down the road to win it out . Too inexperienced at the back but it will be a good experience gained for them if they reach the qf .

Louth in their last two games conceded 6-40 and gave up 70 scoring opportunities. If Mayo can score 1-19 away to Kerry what will they score this weekend at home having not played last week unlike Louth? The match Louth needed to win to reach the knock out stage was last week against Cork.

The bookies and it's punters reckon Mayo by at least 8 points and I'll be surprised if it's under that margin.

Half time Cork 0-5 Kerry 0-9

The very small attendance shows that the GAA needs to price these games much lower to encourage higher attendance

Or maybe people see it was a low grade Munster championship game and have better things to be doing on a Bank Holiday weekend.

[Blowitupref]

48 mins played a penalty goal for Kerry, the foul looked outside the area. 1-10 to 0-10 and Cork down to 14 men with a black card.

That ref just can't help himself -- needs to be a talking point.

It is question of competition, look at the hurling crowds. If competition is good then the price is no object.

It can be outside the box and a penalty though did they not say? If it's a clear goalscoring opportunity, which I'm not sure it was

[Kidder81]

Kerry have been very poor this year

He done that before against Tyrone. Tyrone had a player covering the defence and he gave a penalty for a foul outside the box even thought the forward had another player to get past.

At this stage he really is a joke. Shame as he used to be a top ref.

Definitely wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity.
