What's the story with David Moran's injury?

I believe he pulled up in training the other evening and is a doubtful starter.

I heard there was a massive row.

Geaney carrying on with Fitz's missus apparently,  huge split in the camp over it

How is he a liability?

He's not very good and if he wore another jersey other than Kerry's he'd probably be lucky to see half time in most games.
I couldn't disagree more.

Mayo will beat Kerry.

Apart from Kerry's inside forwards, Mayo are a better team for me.

Fitzmaurice is probably the better manager and Kerry would seem to have a more impactful bench but I wouldn't have one Kerry player from 1-7 in that Mayo side.

With which part?

He's very poor and regularly has to resort to cynical and very unsubtle fouls as a result, which bizarrely he is allowed carry out with impunity.

Some interesting stats here via @dontfoul



Kerry go long with a lot more kickouts than us (41% v 58%) and also force the opposition to go long a lot more (65% v 50%) Clarke's kickouts and the runners will need to be on their game on Sunday

I believe the real injury concern in Kerry is over Donaghy.

Star was very bad with the mastitis on Tuesday, according to a man I know. And this is particularly serious for Donaghy because he's such a total tit.

It's alright for neutrals to point it out but I don't know if calling your direct opposition's players tits is a wise move.

COC is probably the second most hateful forward in the country after Donaghy, by the way.

Some interesting reading of the age profiles in both squads.

Mayo seem fresher around the middle area of the pitch.

That's he's not very good. I think he's a very good man-marker.
