2015 Club Championships - the lads are STILL at it

Are you talking club or county?

Club- completely disagree, one of the best things ever done

County - could not agree more. Waste of time, shite standard etc etc

Speak for your own province.

Club first. It completely devalues county championships with these ridiculous fixture pile ups and playing two games in 24 hours.

exactly
i dont understand the logic of “cancelling” the match in this secenario

bad bastard :grinning:
i know they like their drink but FFS

Kerry should look first of all at eliminating the back door they have in their championship.

I was wrong anyway the sisters weren’t twins they were “Irish twins”.

Kerry’s own rules would appear to be in contravention of the GAA’s rules.

Frank Murphy should be all over this like a hot snot to get Nemo through via a walkover.

But all club teams haven’t been eliminated?

The above “rule” is the Kerry County Board’s.

The GAA’s Rule 6.24 states: “In the event of a County or Provincial
Championship not being completed, the respective
Provincial or All-Ireland Championship shall
continue without a representative of the County or
Province concerned.”

The Kerry County Board’s rule contravenes the GAA’s rule.

Fuck them out.

I have a feeling its far from that simple. Actually, its miles from that simple. The kid will stay in the picture.

Its probable he is helping kerry and his munster council buddies.

He certainly won’t be helping nemo :sweat_smile:

It should be that simple, but it’s Kerry.

Different folks, different strokes.

Thats the call of an armchair anyway. No point discussing.

This is the West Sir

Where have they been competing with Dr Crokes et al?
I think you are overrating the standard of club football in Kerry to be honest. Aherlow nearly beat Crokes a few years ago as well.
I’ve attended a few Kerry finals and they ain’t all that.

Certainly, from the sounds of things, yesterday’s wasn’t either.

Kerry would appear to have a reasonable amount of relative strength in depth at club level but they do not produce outstanding club teams either. Their divisional system does enable the better players outside of senior level there to play at a higher standard than if they only played for their junior or intermediate clubs, and this is a useful bridge to county level for players with these junior and intermediate clubs, along with other “bridging” levels like Sigerson Cup and under-21.

But then again Cork have a similar enough system and it hasn’t worked for their county team. Also Cork has consistently produced better club teams than Kerry over the years and it still doesn’t work at county level.

The main reason Kerry are so successful is because they have always had a culture where the county team’s success matters above all. Cork don’t.

Thats all pretty much correct. Also the size of Cork and East/West/City divide in football has an affect.

Still grossly under achieving though.

In the county league.

Div 1 in Kerry next year will have 4/5 intermediate sides and at least 1 junior.

Now if you think Tipp Intermediate football is up to that level then there is no point in this conversation. I have seen plenty football in both counties and once you go below the best 3/4 senior in tipp it gets bad fast. Same in most counties. Even Corks lower grades is dropping. Kerry is getting better and maybe Dublin is heading that way too.

St Marys didn’t play Division 1 this year Kevin.
