Replying To clondalkindub:  "This is just my opinion from what I seen but after the Dublin semi final Marc O Se and Donaghy came back onto the pitch after the stadium was empty with their kids for me it look like they were saying goodbye one last time with their kids so I'd be very surprised if they came back again next year. I honestly don't get what's taking them so long to make their decision?"
And sure what difference does it make when they decide to retire, surely that is their own business? Kerry won't be back training until the end of the year and the County final is only on on Sunday.

Star might go, but I hope not. I think he still has a lot to offer from the bench if we use him correctly. For example in the semi-final he was asked to run back and forwards from the 40 to midfield all day, instead of throwing him inside the square during the second half and letting him do some damage. Look at the havoc Geaney was causing, if they let Star in with him for long enough a few more goals could have come from it. I'll never understand why we can't let the lad in their for 15-20 minutes and see what comes from it.

I see young O'Connor will be signing with a contract in the AFL that is a serious blow as he would have got serious gametime next year and beyond and you can bet that Tadhg will be trying to take more of those young lads in the coming years

Marc's after announcing his retirement, no more O'Se's on the Kerry team what's it been 22 years with at least one of them on the team sheet - A Legend in a house of them!

You're right he was a sub against Tyrone.

O'connor will be a massive loss to us hurling warrior . He has it all as far as being a footballer.

O' Connor might be back lads? I remember the same thing with your Kilkenny and he came home.

O Se retiring, all respect was a big part of an era, played in a wonderfull team in the right way.

Be interesting to watch how Kerry evolve and manage the transition.
