Anyone think it was smart positioning by Donaghy to be in that spot in the first place?  Or smart of Pat O'Shea to put him there?

I think he was there because he did not have a yellow card to his name at that point of the game.  If he had a yellow already, Bryan Sheehan or some other yellow-free forward would have been there.  Defend the goal at all costs...the cost of a point plus a yellow was small enough with the time left.

Although, as someone pointed out that 4 Kerry forwards were booked...so not many choices to help out at the back.

Was any Kerry back substituted?

Only forward to play at all was Alan Brogan

Just a point too, Why was Griffing left on Cooper? He was left on Bray for the 2 matched aginst Meath too despite being cleaned.

Nobody else in the subs capable, or worthy of trying according to the actions of the manager?

Kerry have a great bench...makes a huge difference in speed of making changes.

So if a captain in a final is substituted, who collects the cup?  I know of only one instance, 1975, when the winning captain was unable to collect the cup because of injury.  The record books still show Mickey Ned as Kerry's captain that day and not Pat Spillane...even though Pat collected Sam.  I think the original captain gets the cup even if he is taken off...am I right?

If a player is sent off, he can take no further part in the game, obviously, but he cannot participate in the on-field celebrations either according to the rule book.  That means he cannot accept the cup.  Anyone know of that ever happening? 

Some craic if Nicky Brennan refuse to hand the cup to the Waterford captain who got sent off for a second yellow.

i also have the joy of my other half being from Kerry, so i'm hoping that next Sunday will make the above a bit more realistic - and avenge many bad days for Monaghan!

Maguire01 = Mrs. Kerry Mike

Who woulda guessed it.


Kerry Mike....reply needed here....urgently.

So how good are Monaghan?  Ran this Tyrone team to two points...does that make them contenders?  They certainly have nothing to lose against Kerry Mike's Yerra's.

Getting harder to figure this championship out.  The winner of Dublin/Derry must have a great chance.  Meath better than Cork...if the Royals get the Dubs again they will have no fear of them.  Kerry/Dublin semi-final could be a cracker.  Kerry v Cork or Meath in the final?

With lots of looking ahead possible by all teams, except Derry...will the Oak Leafers be most focused on the Dublin game...that might just be enough to get them home that day.

After all that...what are the bookies odds for the champioship after today?

Christy Moore...two very contrasting songs here

Good article there, KM.

What with Puck Fair and the Monaghan game, it will be a good week of it.

If Tyrone and Cork qualify for the semi-final, who will the Kerry gang root for/against?  Is there some sort of rulebook in the Kingdom of Yerra to decide such matters?

Ahem...I suppose you think it is "Tadhg"...well it can be either.

Certainly is not "Tagh" anyway.

From the article:  "The likes of Setanta and Aisake Ó hAilpin, Jim Stynes, Tagh Kennelly, Colm Begley and most recently Martin Clarke have been carving out marvelous careers for themselves in Aussie Rules football..."


Comment:  Of all the names ever created, I would expect our Northern friends to get the spelling of "Tadgh" correct.

County League next weekend, KM.

Anyone know where the Louth panellists are playing?  I heard Chicago Wolfe Tones, and now I hear a few of them are out in San Francisco after some dispute in Illinois.  How can they be sanctioned to two different clubs, if this is true?

Kilcummin beat East Kerry by a point, 8 to 7.  Mike Mac missed a penalty.  Poor game overall.

Lone Shark...I believe the televised games for this weekend were one football on Saturday and one hurling on Sunday.  Galway/Meath was the chosen football game, and KK/Galway the hurling game.  With the tragic event mid-week causing the correct decision to postpone the hurling for six days, RTE were then able to use the Cork-Louth game as their second game.

I found this out on Thursday by checking the Setanta broadband offerings in North America, which carries whatever games RTE show.

The fact that the RTE staff did not know what games are on is amazing...or is it?
