What's the build up like down there? Missing the feeling.

I am finding it a bit quiet . I think there is an element of cautiousness on both sides given how close games have been on balance since the 2007 final . As usual some guys (on both sides ) cant see their team been beaten . I as a Kerry man am worried that Donaghy is lacking full match fitness and might not figure . I think it is very hard for a player to miss so many matches and be expected to make a major impact in an All Ireland Final .

I hope Jack has the lads ready to peak on the big day just like 2004 and 2006 .?

I need to find myself a ticket while avoiding getting into a bidding war . I spent far too much for tickets in the past 2 finals . I never get one through the club so I have to rely on other sources .

What are the sentiments down Kingdom way John, confident?

We've been training behind closed doors this last 2 weeks (one to keep the Langers away, two to keep the Swine flu out and 3 to get some good auld fashioned skelping out of the systems), some of the talk around Langerland this week is not that they are going to win but that they will give us a good hiding in the process such is their confidence, I hear Kerry's training is just about coming up with new ways to keep the ball kicked out to the Langeroos so they can win in style.
Your would nearly be happy for them to win adding to their depressingly low 6 All Irelands. 

Lowest build up I have seen in all my years for a final, but the pressure is really on the Langers no doubt about that, they cannot be seen to be the team to lose 6 times to Kerry in Croke Park, they would become an even bigger laughing stock than their hurlers at the start of the year if that is possible. The Ball Grabber will have them primed though and it will be an interesting battle ahead.

Fear , No real confidence .From what I hear from my sources (closer to things than I ) there exists a bit of worry about the the drop in form against the Royals . This combined with Donaghys lack of match practice are causing me some concern . The pace and power of Corks middle third will be hard to overcome .

I wonder where Sam is now?

Its another September after Tyrone have won it, so ye are getting good at the drill at this stage, It usually goes along the line of Tyrone being out of football again in August followed by a few weeks of moaning, so tell Cuthbert to shine Mr Maguire up well and send him back to Croke Park in good condition this time. Thanks.

Concern about Donaghy is understandable John, I'd be very surprised if he's a starter; a first game after injury at this stage of the Championship (or even from the Quarters on) is a very risky strategy.

No Brendan Guiney around to be going "back to basics" this year though KM!

[Kerry Mike]

Brendan is gone from the panel a few years, but he was a handy man to have around the training field. He was rewarded by getting two runs in winning finals for the last few mins of both. An unlucky player who could never break into the starting line up but he was a good footballer in his day.
