KERRY’S TWO EXPERIENCED defensive cornerstones show no sign of calling it a day.
Neither the ecstatic high of All-Ireland glory in 2014 or the shattering low of All-Ireland defeat in 2015 have compelled Marc Ó Sé or Aidan O’Mahony to hang up their boots.
Ó Sé made his senior bow in 2002 and O’Mahony followed suit two years later. They have totted up over 150 championship appearances between them yet that stretch of longevity has not persuaded them to depart.
Both players will be 36 this year and teammate David Moran marvels at their capacity to plough on.
“Maybe it’s the fact that the guys have won so much, they’ve been such good players, their legacy is secured, that I’d say they’re just enjoying football.
“They’re going to go down in history as the greats. They’re really enjoying it. I’d say it’s more of an enjoyment thing than anything, they’re really enjoying it. They’re mad to train anyway, so this time of year doesn’t put them off.”
Moran concedes the temptation was there for the duo to step away but points to their high level of conditioning as evidence that they can still cut it at elite level.
“Physically they’re in incredible shape. They’re putting the rest of us to shame. For two guys not to have deteriorated at all over the last five or six years is incredible.
“That’s a testament to the work they have put in. I’m absolutely delighted they stayed on, they’re great on the field and they’re great off the field as well.
“For guys coming through they’re a great sounding board and they’re great leaders.”
Jurgen is asking for the chop, Hes backing players he cant rely on, Just say nothing and sort it out.
@Ciarán: so if he’s asked a question in a press conference don’t answer it
The pool are def the most entertaining team in the prem league as in you are guaranteed entertainment at both ends
Cmon yurgan how much more evidence do you need ????? Smell the coffee ! Thanks Simon see you later !
Buy defenders of adequate quality please
@Killian Phair: defence has improved but still need a CB
More BS and a spaz comment from Klopp. If you keep playing idiot keeper week in week out, then you deserved to be sacked. They had the game in the bag if their “fab4″ were any good but the bottled it again. THIS IS TYPICAL LIVERPOOL BUT THE BLINKERED DON’T SEE IT. Not seeing Brillo Brillo tonight?????? One inept twit called me a ratard!!!!! Whats that? I’m the happy one. I wish you all Happy Holidays! Love this.
@Whatshisname: u drew at home to a team you don’t rate… why are you happy?
@Calling Your Bullshi: U drew at home?? Was he playing??
@Whatshisname: I’m sure there is more than one count of irony in your post just there.
@Whatshisname: the blinkered? You need to update your malware.
@Whatshisname: be happy your team didn’t lose ! Wink wink
@Whatshisname: yup your a ratard. Have a lovely Christmas
@Whatshisname: You say you support Arsenal but here you are only concerned about Liverpool. Why the obsession? Is it jealousy? Thoughts?
Dropping 2 points will live long.. the battle for 4th come May between these two clubs
@Ich bin brendan: man city Chelsea Spurs then Arsenal/pool?
@Graham: united also ? And that’s it I’m afraid . It’s so poor why bother ? They are strangling the game , money , refs , coaches , formations , overhype , no contact etc . Anyway …… happy Christmas , and new year ,
