He nearly cost them in the final also - lackadaisacal with a short kick and defenders not expecting it. Far too risky.

Any word on players being asked to join the squad and/or some definitely having left?

Who?

a lot of people reckon 'the man in the hat' has too much say into team affairs.
[/qeuote]
why would the man in the hat have anything to do with the team? Why is he even inside the wire? Well intentioned perhaps but .........?

Frank Dawson is also another option

you have lost the right to add further to the debate with that suggestion 

Some genius on Hoganstand was suggesting Jody Gormley.

A mate from Armagh offered McGeeney as he may be available soon!

A short version would suffice!!

Some business heads - buying 'replacement' lands before they had secured completion of the sale of the land that they did own!

Interesting to know how many of those involved in those decisions are still part of or connected to or used by the County Board.

I think Jerome is back training should be at least able to make the bench for the Fermanagh game.  Id go with

Cunningham
McAleenan
G McGovern
O Hanlon
O Hagan
Turley
McArdle
McKernan
Flynn
C McGovern
Devlin
R Johnston
Davidson
Madine
O Hagan

Leaving Jerome, O Hare and Mooney as potential impact players from the bench.  Looks a stronger team than what was out last year but midfield still looks a weak link.

I think A Carr, Mooney and Joe Murphy will all start - probably in place of Madine, McAleenan and Devlin (but not in those positions)

Kilcoo's big names did not perform, apart maybe from Johnston. Defence was good but midfield and upwards were very poor. And yet........they had their chances. But numbers 3, 6, 8 and 11 for Slaughtneill were very good.

Have to say it is not a good style of football tobwatch and no chance of an all Ireland there.

Please explain more rather than innuendos that the rest of us do not understand. What favours, who is using what?

Anybody on here who cares about who wins on Sunday?

Kilcoo are strong favourites and should win......but so were Dublin last week.

Local derby, complacency on behalf of Kilcoo, poor weather, little bits of luck going Clonduff's way.......

A shock possible?

Why do team managers think they have to do something different and unexpected? Do they think it will fool or confuse the opposition?

The role for Savage was one example. But the Burren line out was far worse - the team was totally changed eg Gerard  McGovern at CHF, Mark McKay at FF and Dan McCartan as a forward?

Such changes are almost an admission that "I do not think we can beat this team". Play to your own strengths and donot confuse your own players.

Kilcoo definitely have it "mentally" over Burren and some of the latter's big name players display that.

Hopefully Clonduff give it a real rattle in the final with no fear of Kilcoo

What sensible club would take him?
He has been around a lot of clubs (far too many) - clubs need to wise up and have their own club men manage the teams.

More importantly, who wil win the senior semis?

I go for Burren and Clonduff - time for a change at the top

Tyrone's behaviour over the years has been despicable -is it just a coincidence that they do much more sledging than other teams?

Dublin are good, but over-hyped.
They are not as good as last year as they are short 3 all-star defenders. Also, McAuley is not playing well and Fenton might have a broken jaw. Their strength is their forward line, and their bench.
Kerry need to match their mobility so team selection is crucial. But I have a sneaking feeling that the Kerry forwards can get the better of the Dublin defence, and Dublin are not so good when the game is not going their way.
