07/11/2009 05:11:32 Thunderstruck County: Meath Posts: 168 477916 What do Kerry people make of Kennelly going back? I think he is a gentleman but I have to say part of me feels its an ill divided world...he played one year of senior intercounty football and is walking into the sunset with an all-ireland medal; players such as Dermot Early, Eammon O' Hara, Anthony Lynch and Ciaran Whelan have given years of service to their counties but have no all-ireland to show. Personally I think he owes the players, who helped him achieve his dream, and the loyal supporters of Kerry a few years service before he should walk away. Upon reflection that is what I should have said but he hardly deserves any compliments for walking out like that! And after the semi-tearful appearance on TV and all despite the attack on Murphy. I hope you completed the work Nixon sent ye her for - good luck to ye!

What exactly are we begrudging?

Whether this is true or not I don't know:

I have no problem with him coming home to play and win an All Ireland, neither have I a problem with him deciding to go back. A little peeved that he got away with his challenge but that is all water under the bridge now, 2010 beckons and everyone has renewed hope for their own County and that is as it should be.

t kennelly was a great addition to kerry this year , if i had his talent at 18 i would have gone to aus to play profesional as well, the only mistake he made was coming back for the one year , he should of stayed in aus to continue his brillant career, im moving out to sydney next year so he gives me a reason to watch the AFL ,which i think is a awful game, as of what he said about that tacke i play junior b football and i see worst fouls in most games, wish him all the best .

Well, that's that then. About 10 out of some 750 all Ireland winners in Kerry USED the medal for something. Fully justifies your claim of NONSENSE. Do you base all of your ideas on less than 2%?

Best of luck Tadgh. Thanks for the contribution you made. You were one of the players who helped to turn our season Of course I would have loved if you stayed but as triona says you have another life also. Never mind the begrudgers, you achieved your goal. Slan agus saol maith duitse.

I'd find it hard to take him seriously if he comes home again in a year or two and throws his lot in with Kerry again tho'.

Talent will get you a professional career in Australia, not medals.

Thank God TV and media careers are based on more than medals, that could make for very poor television.

As for that lad Jack Lynch, don't get me started.

"UTTER NONSENSE" - I agree completely.

Why all the fuss ?
Surely this should be kept on the Kerry board.
Its nobody elses business really.... up to Kennelly and Kerry to do as they see fit.
It wont affect the price of pork in Ballygawley !!!!!!

I detect from your posts that jealousy seems to be your main problem. Darragh for Taoiseach. Certainly not. Nobody in their right mind from Louth could ever engage in such a debate given our paltry state. There are so many many more between us and Kerry, so if jealousy was my motive I'd be here for eternity! My point is that they (folk down south) go on about how 'it' (I assume they mean GAA?) is a religion and that it is all about the jersey. Yet they don't turn their nose up at the limelight that it brings which makes me believe that it is not all about the jersey by any stretch of the imagination. And back to tadgh - he gave a very passionate and emotion filled post match interview (despite making that potentially life threatening tackle) telling us all how difficult it was for him in Australia, during his time here he publicly said it was not on for Ozzy rules guys to poach GAA players and took a paying job with Kerry CB! It's the Kerry folk I feel sorry for but also the GAA family at large that were used to allow this guy fulfill a personal ambition. I would not deny him or begrudge him that nor his career in Australia but don't pretend you are doing it for the jersey!

3 in a row are you for real??
Your comment "Also, anyone ever wonder why there's no Kerry person coming out and having a dig at Tadhg for leaving (if he does)? It always seems to be people from other counties........ "

Maybe people from other counties criticise certain thing kerry related because as a neutral you can take an objective and not an emotional view on things which is what you seem to be doing.
It may be a tiny bit admirable to defend your man no matter what but that smacks of parochial nonsense. Kerry people are after all the people that will vote for John O'Donoghue no matter what, and ye turfed out Dick Spring.
Need I remind everyone what one of your own favorite sons Paidi said on the subject of Kerry people..........
