A Con Houlihan rip-off merchant that Billy Keane. Why doesnt he come up with a style of his own?

If I was boss of RTE Tohill would be the host and Spillane wouldnt even get to carry the coffee in.  Tohill is and has always been a gentleman on the show ,when all around him are in a race to be controversial Tohill is articulate and balanced.

Ah come on, that would show would be as bland as rice cakes!

Spillane isnt the worst lads, he's entertaining anyway ' thats a lovely suit you've got on Pete Finnerty', 'you've a lot of hair gel on tonight Bernard Flynn'. His presentation isnt perfect but he's improved a lot, think he's doing a very good job these days. Cant see any of the present analysts doing a better job as presenter- Anthony Daly perhaps?

Senior team along predictable lines, not a huge fan of Reidy I have to say, seems very loose any time I have seen him play, sure he'll be fine for this one though. Would rather Killian Young in the corner and Mossy Lyons on the wing. That man Lyons has gotten a raw deal with Kerry over the last couple of years! Shame that Guiney is gone, thought he was a very good player who was unlucky there were so many good backs about, thought this year was going to be his breakthrough year.

Thatll be the bones of our team for the summer I'd say though still a fabulous team there. Only other change would be Griffin for Quirke, Quirke a very solid operator but still not mobile enough for top level football

Would agree with magickingdom and SuperDooper above, Sheehan is a fantastic kicker of a dead ball, but I think he is not athletic enough for modern day Gaelic Football. Donncha Walsh can be added to that category. A bit annoyed the way Pat O'Shea has brought back guys Jack O'Connor (rightly) discarded - Walsh, Paddy Kelly, Seamus Scanlon.

A nippy wing back like Aaron Kernan or Philip Jordan would kill Sheehan though, I dont think he is lazy as some people suggest but you have to be an athlete for county football these days, pure skillsmen go home! Great free taker though, best since Maurice Fitz I have seen.

Did he not break his leg recently though, thought I heard that?

Heard a story at weekend that Duagh beat the Mary's recently in Inter ch'ship. They even travelled down the night before for the game. A first in club football? Overnightstays within the same county?

Kerry are in a good position for this year, what would be your starting  15?

Murphy
M O'Se
O'Sullivan
K Young
T O'Se
O'Mahony
Guiney
D O'Se
Griffin
Galvin
D O'Sullivan
S O'Sullivan
Cooper

Same as last year pretty much, except for Moynihan and McCarthy. Not a big fan of Padraig Reidy would prefer Young and Guiney would be my choice wing back have seen him in training a lot have good time for him

As for the rest, Donegal would be my tip. Saw em against Kerry and was very imressive. Some great forwards Devenney, Toye, McFadden, Roper, Hegarty, Sweeney to bring on. You can get a team as fit as you like but if you have not players who can kick the ball over the bar where are you going! Thats what Donegal over the other contenders I think

I put 20 on Kerry @ 9/4 and 20 on Donegal @ 9/1 thatll hedge the bets nicely!

Longford for Leinster could be the Westmeath/Fermanagh fairy story of the summer?

Saw em against Kerry in Killarney last summer and thought they were a very good team
