Kingdom on the road to redemption?
IT HAS been a rotten week of turbulence and trial in Kerry football.
A key cornerstone of all team games, squad discipline and inherent trust, has been breached and a crossroads has been reached. The moral opprobrium raining down upon the transgressors, Tomás O Sé and Colm Cooper, while understandable and probably inevitable in a county as fanatical about its football as Kerry, is ill-advised and unhelpful. Kerry supporters and followers of the game within the county and beyond have every right to expect that players adhere to a strict code of discipline during the course of a championship season but it should not come as a surprise to them if a very different imperative sometimes informs the actions of some of their leading players.
