Replying To jimbodub: "If Mayo weren't plagued with injuries I'd give Mayo the nod. They are further down the road but injuries to key men will hamper that advantage But I can see Kerry winning this one. I feel sorry for the ref before s ball is kicked. Every single possible discrepancy will be pounced on by the usual ref whinge merchants" "Every single possible discrepancy will be pounced on by the usual ref whinge" I know, why can't peoole just take a beating fair and square and admit they were second best instead of coming on moaning about a refs alledged poor performance. Usually the same few lads also. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 12/07/2019 08:59:24 2209796 Link

Back to the game our team is very young and this game wont define them they are 1 or 2 years off the real top teams so its important to give these lads the time they need. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 12/07/2019 09:54:35 2209817 Link
Donegal & Dublin to win all three games. Cork will beat Tyrone & Roscommon to go through in second as long as they don't put too much effort into the Dublin game and lose badly. I think they have too much power for Tyrone in Croker. Big game is Kerry v Mayo in Killarney. Winner of this will play Dubs in semi. Toss of a coin but I think it will be Kerry. opa01 (Cavan) - Posts: 500 - 12/07/2019 10:02:55 2209823 Link

Why do we keep reducing the capacity of stadiums ? In a sport we're theres never been any serious crowd trouble or danger to supporters we keep reducing all the time, last year Newbridge or nowhere it was a sell out but behind one goal was empty it was shocking to see. I see Killarney is being reduced by 7 thousand over season tickets what is going on? This should be packed to the rafters Mayo are coming to town to play Kerry the biggest game in the towns history and it will have empty space's ridiculous. Honestly this is really winding me up the last few years. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 12/07/2019 11:42:59 2209887 Link

"Dublin are rarely on the wrong end of those calls" I'm glad you admit that Dublin, like every county, are still on the wrong end of those calls sometimes.

Are season ticket holders larger than your non season ticket holder or something? the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 495 - 12/07/2019 12:16:56 2209905 Link

Never mind upteen Munster finals between Cork and Kerry when both were heavyweights - which wasn't exactly ages ago! Anyway apparently capacity is reduced because it's a stand alone fixture and they would be worried about a crush with 40k all converging on the ground in the 45mins before show time. I don't think it's sold out yet anyway and I'm sure anyone who wanted a ticket has one. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 12/07/2019 12:34:55 2209916 Link

With the greatest respect Clondalkin, the 1937 hurling all-Ireland final played at Fitzgerald stadium, the numerous knock out Munster championship matches against Cork and the 2012 qualifier against Tyrone all supersede the upcoming Mayo match. blueshirt1 (Kerry) - Posts: 19 - 12/07/2019 13:02:56 2209931 Link
Replying To tommy132: "No Paddy Durcan, huge loss" Ok This changes everything Paddy Durkan is a huge player for Mayo this is a massive boost for Kerry this could be one injury too far for Mayo, Lee Keegan nowhere near full fitness I'm starting to favor Kerry now , that's just too many key players for Mayo not playing. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 12/07/2019 13:05:51 2209933 Link

Deffo the hermit, i have been at munster finals in the past when it was straight knockout and crowds were left to sit on the sideline due to overcrowding. Once i remember ppl sitting on the old dugouts. That was the joys of straight knockout woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 12/07/2019 13:18:44 2209937 Link
Replying To the_walls: "I can't understand why capacity needs to be reduced because of season ticket holders? Are season ticket holders larger than your non season ticket holder or something?" Since not all season ticket holders will fit in the stand the game has to be general admission. That leads to people walking around to find a good spot so you need to leave some space free. Also the fact it's a standalone fixture so 31000 people will arrive together. Killarney is not like Croke Park and the turnstiles can't cope with anymore. It's better to be safe than sorry in situations like this. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 414 - 12/07/2019 13:23:13 2209939 Link
Ive never seen an injury list like it for Mayo, its such a pity that Mayo wont be anywhere near full strength, would make for a cracking affair. Still hoping for an entertaining game, but Mayo have to be underdogs now, a real pity. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 12/07/2019 14:17:48 2209963 Link
Durcan would be a big loss to Mayo but I would take injury reports with a grain of salt at this stage. Jack Barry reportedly out for Kerry too. Some will say (even Kerry fans) that he is no loss but the alternatives do not fill me with confidence and I would much prefer to have Jack there 100% if possible.

Wait till 4pm on Sunday, Last week Keegan was not going to play for a few weeks with ligaments and he comes on against Galway. I dont believe any rumours until the throw in. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 12/07/2019 14:38:35 2209978 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "My main point is "I'm sick of the reducing our stadiums"." It's a joke. As you say so many matches are sold out yet you can see lots of room on the terraces. What's next, 5 years from now killarney reduced to 25k? Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 12/07/2019 14:48:35 2209981 Link
