Replying To ColmFlaherty: "All the bellyaching about Kerry vs Donegal when the obvious was missed when both teams breached the 3 back rule. ; )" Not true, Kerry fans starting shouting at officials that Donegal had breached the 2 up rule, because they only seen two Donegal players, but they failed to see Oisin Gallen was over getting water at the side of the pitch.

Replying To cavanman47: "The vast majority." Ireland is badly in need of new party, a new option with a clear alternative position and strong economic position. Sadly FF & FG are more of the same and the current opposition parties aren't showing a clear new roadmap to the electorate, so we are stuck with the career politicians.
Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are identical nowadays, we still hear terms like Center-left or Center-right to describe them, but in reality the two parties that have no clear core differences anymore.
Collectively both have blown billions of tax payers money for decades without any checks and balances to bring them to heel, yet who's loyal supporters act like our economy wouldn't survive without them. I seriously doubt that.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "I agree with your frustrations lads but the thing is, this is a good thing really. The 12 week ban was ridiculous and likely will be changed completely for next season. I know that doesn't help you right now but imagine if Jim got 12 weeks too? When would it end." It would end by managers not running onto the field and interfering with opposition players. The fact is Brennan was banned for 12 weeks. We can all agree it was an excessive punishment but the fact McGuinness gets away Scot free makes a mockery of the Brennan ban.
This whole mess may cost Kerry and/or Donegal further down the line. For instance a player involved in a future 50/50 incident may result in red…rightly or wrongly these things can often come back to bite you.

Replying To gaelsboy: "I'd be peeved at that decision lads. I may have never really supported dublin football and gers suspension never cost me a thought but now I think of it, you've been done dirty, gaa afraid to come down on Star player and manager more likely to be involved at business end (no disrespect meant, nothing to stop you making at least a quarter final)" This muck about gaa not coming down on a star player is muck spread by Donegal supporters to distract from McGuinness's potential suspension. Any ref that would have given a red card to clifford over that challenge is ridiculous regardless of whatever still frame, it's a normal shoulder challenge. He doesn't go in with raised arm, it happens to make contact. That happens all the time in shoulder challenges that they hit shoulder first and then maybe hit cheek or face - those are never red cards, they are yellow cards at most.

Replying To legendzxix: "'24 was Armagh's year. Kerry responded last year. Donegal are responding this year. Kerry accepted the clear red card on Saturday. Donegal did not after the league final. A bit of heckling is par for the course after the dirty stroke in the league final. Some of the Donegal reaction to that is laughable. I thought Donegal were a sporting county like Kerry. It might be just a minority or outliers in Donegal being bad winners. Sin é." " A bit of heckling is par for the course..." I could hear it all the way here in America: constant from the first minute until the 50th minute. It did die down after 50 minutes alright, not because Murphy had been subbed, but because all the Kerry fans had left the stadium, with their tails between their legs and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.

Replying To CiarraiMick: "You have some hearing Fotever because the booing never happened until the second half.Murphy was greeted with a polite clap when his name was called but the booing of Murphy started happening in second half after a closed fist tackle by him again .The booing was wrong and I waa sad to hear it.Also a few Kerry fans left but I stayed until end with loads of Kerry fans.In fact a large crowd of Donegal fans left early I presume because of the long journey home ." Thanks, Mick. We've mighty hearing aids here stateside.
According to your fellow Kerry poster, Legendxik, it was okay to boo irrespective of what Murphy may have done in last week's game. Scroll back a few posts and you'll see it.
"It's understandable many are against heckling but Saturday was a reasonable exception after the league final in incident."
There is nothing at all reasonably acceptable about the scurrilous booing of Michael Murphy by the Kerry fans in Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, on Saturday, May 23rd in their All-Ireland SFC Round 1 game against Donegal.
And fair play for staying until the end of the game. I hope that it sets a trend for other Kerry fans to follow.

Can you highlight to everyone who Murphy preformed 'another' closed fist tackle on and at what stage of the game? Must have missed that one myself as well as everyone else in the country because you're the first one to mention it.
To justify booing as well I must add. You Yerra boys are some craic.

Two-Group Leinster SHC - 1 Like(s)
wouldn't be in favour of this at all. reducing the amount of games for teams and adding more blowouts, after the best leisnter championship we've had in years. The first time we've had a Leinster championship overshadow Munster completely on the last day. The groups would be fairly boring with 2 out of 4 getting out and likely one game of real significance in the example groups you've set out
Unless another team proves they have seperated from the rest of the Joe Mcdonagh in the way Offaly have, then there should be no call for a change. A lot of this seems to have come from the novelty of Kildare. In reality they've lost all 5 games and would likely lose all 5 next year if they were to stay up. They were certainly impressive agaisnt us but then conceded 3-17 in the second half. We've gotten much better battles from Carlow over the years and I'll be delighted if they make it back up
You should have to earn your place in the Liam Mccarthy cup. Rather than parachute teams into leinster, the absolute priority needs to be on the McDonagh Cup. It's always agreed that hurlign folk consider it a fantastic competition, but there is zero interest from casuals. I don't have an answer to that unfortunately but the ideal for hurling is the current system but with a little more love for the McDonagh cup

Leave well enough alone. Lowering the standard in Leinster is not going to improve a Leinster team's chance of being ready to step up against Munster teams.

Every year with this. There's only 10 serious teams. They can only play each other so many times. Any more games at this stage would get very tiresome. why are people so determined to mess witth what's already working.
Who gives a fiddlers about the world cup, a total red herring Donal og & Pat spillane have managed to out into peoples heads aabout other sports getting more airtime. People who wanted to watch the world cup are going to watch it regardless.

Replying To Lockjaw: "You do an awful lot of worrying about Donegal and Jim McGuinness.
You should put the phone away, buy yourself an ice cream and enjoy the good weather." Sure we are more than fine in Dublin and the fortunes of our footballers while currently not great are being somewhat offset by the upturn in form of our hurlers. We are in the fortunate position of having two codes to follow.
The anti-McGuinness sentiment purely stems from not liking the way he goes about his business and I at least have held that opinion for a long time. The response to TRs question after the game the last day was just the latest instance. All of my in-laws are from Donegal and to utter a word against him in their presence is almost a case for divorce! I was pleasantly surprised to see a few posters on here call out his carry on last weekend but as always for many Saint Jim can do no wrong.

Like you say though, despite bucking the trend a bit in recent years it's been a godawful bogey ground for us. Ballyshannon got two games in the league (one in the sunshine and one in a monsoon) so I've a feeling Jim prefers it too. Does anyone know when the draw will be made?" The draw will be on morning Ireland, some media outlets say Monday morning others say Tuesday as there may be no morning Ireland programme on bank Holiday Monday
