Any word of starting teams? Apart from usual rumours.

Should it be announced by now? Not that it really matters. I presume there will be a red herring or two in it! Although Horan has more or less gone with named teams this year.

Tomorrow lunchtime

OffTheBall reporting Declan O'Sullivan is not starting for Kerry. They all reckon he'll play a part though.

Full team:

KERRY (SF v Mayo): Brian Kelly; Marc Ó Sé, Aidan O'Mahony, Shane Enright; Paul Murphy, Peter Crowley, Fionn Fitzgerald; Anthony Maher, David Moran; Michael Geaney, Johnny Buckley, Donnchadh Walsh; Stephen O'Brien, Paul Geaney, James O'Donoghue.

Saving him, the tubby one just doesnt have the legs for 70

Yeah, and they have a very impressive bench. They will finish with a stronger team than they start with. And going on past games, we'll do the opposite. Could be another nervy finish, will we squeeze through again or will we be caught....

If you'd been paying attention you'd know he got injured against Galway and hasn't trained in 3 weeks.

Bit surprised by Kerry team. Few things that wouldn't fill me with confidence to be honest.  Hope this plan Fitzy has works out.

Is O Sullivan injured?

[AZOffaly]

His knees are ballixed but I thought he'd start. Bit of a bizarre team to be honest. Hardly looks like a Kerry team at all.

Buckley is a good player but I feel he is lacking something at this level. Not convinced by either Geaney. One is just ordinary, the other is too flakey. Very worried about Aidan O'Mahoney.

Dec must be hurt CT. Although speaking to Kerry Lads. They have huge respect for Buckley and think he will do a good job at CHF. Everyone talking about the Dubs bench.......that Kerry bench is groaning with Celtic crosses.

Cute Kerry honours, resting the big names for the final.

I've never seen a quieter thread involving Mayo in an AI semi-final.
It looks like they have finally cracked the keeping-a-lid-on-things aspect. This is a very ominous development from our point of view.

You're nothing but a sanctimonious p***k.
