Kerry’s nightmare? Goodbye to the dream team

IT’S DINNER, for God’s sake. It’s not the Last Supper.

Well, it may be. Kerry coach Jack O’Connor and his two outgoing selectors, Ger O’Keeffe and Johnny Culloty sit down for a long overdue chat and some tapas tonight. They’ve a lot to talk about. On the menu? Their futures. Should Kerry football fans be worried? Yes.

O’Connor is torn between walking away after three years of bountiful harvest and the tug of settling in for another term. Seldom does the latter end in bouquets. The sporting scrap heap is littered with managers and players, spat out by an unforgiving public who pleaded for a final year, then labelled them egotistical idiots.
