How the referee approached the game yesterday and how the unnamed official should approach the replay is match related discussion, you gimp. Whelan was doing no different to McStay with Philly McMahon last year by honing in on Keegan, saying defenders are nearly always the instigators and cards need to be dished out early on.

Whelan does allow his bias cloud his judgement and shouldn’t be on the panel for matches involving Dublin

Ditto Martin Carney for Mayo games. He was a joke yesterday.

Christ above that David Clifford is only 16.

Very hard not to agree with that statement

7981

and from a small junior club in east kerry

RTE blanking Peter Harte for their team of the year because his uncle won’t speak to them is disgraceful.

Harte was probably the footballer of the year.

Definitely one of the best players of the year but obviously suffered for not getting far enough.
Who should he have replaces, I havent seen the picks.

7984

Any of the half forward line.

Ryan McHugh was screwed over as well.

I didn’t think Mattie Donnelly deserved one.

7985

Kerry have another couple of junior club players starting this year on their latest AI winning minor team. V highly rated down there as well and they expect huge things from them.

Have to applaud Kerry for it…v rarely happens in other counties.

These are impossible calls. I assume you’re wearing your ulster glasses. Would those two lads make an all Ireland team, probably, but so much depends on the team performances.

7987

Given the way the Kerry Championship works, it’s not that remarkable.

7988

McHugh and Harte were superb this year.

Team selected was:

Cluxton
Harrison, Cooper, McMahon
Keegan, Boyle, Durcan
Fenton, Donnelly
McLoughlin, Connolly, Kilkenny
Geaney, Quinlivan, Rock

7990

Agreed…the Kerry championship works and should be a blueprint for everyone else to copy is my point though.

Outside of Dublin obviously.

7991

Kilkenny, mcloughlin and donney stand out as bad choices. Claxton is a fucking joke, he did his best to lose it for them

7992

I would go with:

  1. Clarke
  2. McMahon
  3. Cooper
  4. McCarron
  5. Keegan
  6. O’Sullivan
  7. McHugh
  8. Brennan
  9. Fenton
  10. Connolly
  11. Harte
  12. McManamon
  13. Quinlavin
  14. Geaney
  15. Andy Moran

6 Dublin
3 Mayo
2 Tyrone
1 Tipp
1 Donegal
1 Kerry
1 Clare

Boyle at 6 is laughable. McLoughlin at WF also comical.

7994

Cillian O’Connor scored 9 points from play in 8 games this year.

7995

The Sunday Independent player ratings were also comical.

7996

Cluxton’s kick outs in both Finals were outstanding. As good a display as he has ever given. I don’t think we would have won it without him
