Agreed.Kerry in the replay against Mayo were devoid of any shape or structure.

Losing two All Ireland finals by a single point in two years doesn't really mean you are missing much......

Pity Clifford isn't a defender.. It's not forwards that Kerry needs jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 07/10/2017 20:30:06 2053786 Link 0 |
How about we see him play against fellas his own age at U20 for a couple of years first jim. And ya we need backs and a new half forward line. We need more athletes and less natural footballers just like jim gavin did with the dubs. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 07/10/2017 22:16:24 2053795 Link 0 |

This is the worst group of Kerry players since the late 80s and early to mid 90s. There was feck all done at underage during our dominant spell at senior level in the naughties and we're suffering for that now. The same thing happened in the 70s/80s when had a great team. I was at the county semifinals yesterday and going by what I saw things won't be good down here for a good while yet. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 08/10/2017 11:42:17 2053841 Link 0 |
The 2014 Minors will be around 22 next year.Are you not hopeful of the good minors making a senior breakthrough.

Out of that 2014 minor team probably goal keeper Shane Ryan, defenders Tom O'Sullivan and Brian o'beaglaoih, midfielder Robaird o'sé, forwards tomás o'sé , Michael burns , Matthew flaherty and killian Spillane, but the best one of our 2014 minors was midfielder mark O'Connor from Dingle and unfortunately he's now in Australia. People are fawning over Brian Fenton and rightly so but having seen both play mark O'Connor is the best I've ever seen and he's a massive loss to us. But it's ultimately up to Eamon fitzmaurice to give these guys a chance. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 08/10/2017 13:00:57 2053849 Link 0 |
I'd agree with that, O'Connor was / is incredible. If you were sent in to a lab to engineer a player to improve Kerry it would be him. Big, strong, lightning fast and skillful midfielder who always puts in a massive performance on the big days. I remember seeing him as a minor and thinking we had the new Jack O'Shea on our hands. Would love to have seen him come in to the Kerry setup but his heart was set on Australia so good luck to him.

I think it's a bit early to be celebrating David Clifford staying around. All he has said is he will stay around for 2018. He could still have every intention of going . Tommy Walsh postponed his move to Oz for a year in a similar way. I hope I am wrong, would love to see this lad reach his peak playing our game. dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 336 - 09/10/2017 10:33:45 2054021 Link 0 |

I agree Gerry, mark had it all but alas he's gone and won't be back, what a loss.

Fierce pressure on a young lad - being more or less expected to save, not just Kerry football, but all non-Dublin football by himself. Youth football is fast in terms of running, but it's slower in that you have more time on the ball and there's nothing like the cynicism of adult football. Having said that, Seán Cavanagh was pitched into the senior game aged 19 or 20 I think and that worked grand. So you'd think another year at youth level would seem to be in the lad's best interests. Here's hoping he stays and prospers. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 09/10/2017 13:16:18 2054109 Link 1 |
