It certainly has an exhibition match feel to it
He blow the whistle before it went to the Armagh playerCalm down kids. The last Kerry free was for a very obvious square ball.
The only issue I’d have with the ref so far is that he’s too quick to award marks. For me, a player has to actually land with the ball secured in his hands before he can really be considered to have caught the it.
We look a bit leggy at times. Maybe a bit of heavy training has begun, or maybe Kerry are just making us look like that.
Don't know what to say with that Kerry goal. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.
I still do not know what to think.I definitely wasn't laughing anyway
He's not an experienced Goalkeeper and he made it easy for him to score . Although Clifford was in acres and probably would have scored against anyone in that situation . Most of the kickouts today were straight down the middle of the pitch , Kerry even when they were down 14 men got their kick outs away easier although we did pressure their kick outs later in the match .I still do not know what to think.
I did a double take in my thought process and said to myself "Did Rafferty just turn his back to one of the best forwards in Ireland?" Rafferty did challenge a high ball and ran through the Kerry player - something I don't think Hughes would have done.
I am not growing in confidence with Rafferty coming up the field. He puts me on edge but at the same time I wouldn't have a clue who to stick in goals against Donegal.

I know his instinct would be to track back especially being a midfielder but I still do not feel this justifies it. I think our defence were a bit slack today which could be due to training. We put in an ok performance and still kept up with Kerry - I am not happy but not having a go at the players or management. The only fear I have is how the big teams are able to limit the influence of our forwards. One day we will get a fair crack at a team with a referee that is fair.He's not an experienced Goalkeeper and he made it easy for him to score .

Won't go to a H2H when three teams are on the same points. It will go to points difference.Kildare are 3rd from bottom head to head with Donegal & Tyrone
