All-Ireland football talking points: Kerry need to help Clifford, Rossies in a shootout and Dubs on the road.
Declan Bogue AS WE CLOSE in on the last day of the All-Ireland football round-robin series, we look at some of the talking points surrounding teams.Not to point out the obvious, but without David Clifford, how good would Kerry be?
2-6 out of 5-14 against Clare told us something in a complete mis-match, but it has been in the group games when Kerry’s deficiencies have been laid bare. Where are the young tyros, coming tearing into the senior team though? Instead, Kerry are still relying on the likes of Paul Geaney, Tony Brosnan and Stephen O’Brien. Fine players one and all, but you wonder about the competition for places.The tightest group of them all is Group 3, with all the teams having drawn a game and only two points separating top from bottom.
What they have in their advantage is the local knowledge of their manager, Davy Burke coming from Kildare and having managed them to the All-Ireland U20 title in 2018.He has since been twice overlooked for the role of county manager, with Jack O’Connor and Glenn Ryan the preferred options.And the evidence would not suggest so. Roscommon’s game is based on sound defensive structure and counter-attacking by using their excellent ball carriers.
Then, we were invited to ask questions and after exploring the reach of their jab, the Fourth Estate asked the only thing that really mattered; were the Dubs going to play two out of their three group games at home?Those on the other side of the camera ruled nothing out, so naturally that was the headline for the day afterwards.Well, here we are, bang on time for the neutral round game and whaddya know, Dublin are heading for Breffni Park in Cavan town to face Sligo.
