ONE OF THE Kerry greats announced his time from inter-county football today as Marc Ó Sé ended long-standing association with the senior panel.

As you might expect, the GAA world has been paying tribute to the five-time All-Ireland winner and former Footballer of the Year.

The best marking and footballing corner back ever. Probably outscored the man he was marking over the course of his career. @osemarc2

He'd a better dummy solo than the men he was marking. Congrats on an amazing career adding to your illustrious family history @osemarc2 pic.twitter.com/nNtOq4CKoA

Hopefully Bruno will be fit, his work rate, ability to track runners and his ability to whine moan and fall over will be good news for Liverpool though that said his creativity could be a problem for Liverpools high line if Utd had willing runners

Hopefully they will crash by 3 or 4 goals tomorrow Brian my old son

@O’Brien Michael: pool be raging hot favourites anyway. Cant remember one of these sides being such hot favourites going into this fixture. But ue know what, even if utd lose 6 0 the world will keep spinning and we’ll get back on the horse. And who knows, maybe they’ll pull a huge performance out. Unlikely but that’s the beauty of football.

@Brian Dunne: They have nothing to lose tomorrow as Liverpool are raging hot favourites and that’s what makes United so dangerous Brian.
