Always good to see the best players involved. I still remember Matt Connor from Offaly. This is not to say I didn't wake up then hissing at them. Some things will never change. Love the sinner. Hate the sin. plike (Kerry) - Posts: 569 - 16/07/2019 11:51:58 2211806 Link 0 |
He was some footballer. Perhaps the greatest there ever was.

Connolly almost lost Dublin the 2016 final. I doubt he'll play much. Connolly needs Dublin more than Dublin needs Connolly. Adler (Monaghan) - Posts: 754 - 16/07/2019 17:35:58 2211977 Link 2 |
Fair play to you bud. An honest man unlike some of the Kerry brigade on this show.

An overrated player. He has played poorly more often than he has played well in big matches. I'll qwerty368 (Kildare) - Posts: 69 - 16/07/2019 19:43:46 2212027 Link 1 |
The fact Gavin has brought him straight into the squad at this point tells you all you need to know about how good he is and highly rated. Exceptional player. reithi (Kerry) - Posts: 52 - 16/07/2019 20:39:41 2212058 Link 4 |
Gavin and co have continually stated he'd be welcomed back if he wanted it for himself There were doubts if Gavin was telling the truth There was talk of Gavin and him falling out etc Well there's the answer jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 16/07/2019 21:11:01 2212078 Link 3 |

There's a few (some amongst our own) that have to stop believing that Gavin is some sort of authoritarian cold robot He spoke honestly to the media on the Connolly issue and was deemed to be playing the politician and spinning things.. Some folk really don't have a clue about the man jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 16/07/2019 22:22:30 2212118 Link 5 |
Great to see dirmuid back and best of luck to him (except against Kerry of course) We want to see the best players play our game. Themall1916 (Kerry) - Posts: 98 - 16/07/2019 22:27:01 2212119 Link 4 |
Who said they fell out? If Gavin thought he might need him he would be back. And he's back.

Brave decision to return I must say I'm very surprised, and intrigued to see what impact he might have. There is obviously a story behind his absence but whatever the case may be I'd like to wish him well. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 16/07/2019 23:51:09 2212149 Link 8 |

Shrewd move on Gavins part. Deflect attention from the drive for five for a while and take a bit of pressure off the players. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 17/07/2019 08:40:23 2212193 Link 0 |
I know your looking a bite but commolly is a once in a generation player, i'd literally pay in to a game just to see him play! Pure genius and even though i want to see dublin beat it's great to have him back!

"Gavin is some sort of authoritarian cold robot" Don't forget there are a couple here who think if you're not bouncing around on the sideline like a looper screaming your head off then you're a soulless bore or robotic or whatever.

I'd just leave off at this stage. . Vague messages from months now being spun to make it look as tho they could read Jim Gavin's mind. The fact of the matter is that Gavin wasn't in control of the Connolly situation until his visa fell thru and he got his 30day ban. Now he's looking to Dublin for game-time and he may or may not get it. Sin e. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 17/07/2019 09:18:16 2212204 Link 1 |
Absolutely jimbo, the man just doesn't play the media game. I think that frustrates sports journalists because he doesn't give them any great insight, but he doesn't have to. He keeps his own council. He doesn't seek the limelight, all the success is for the team. Amazing manager I thought that was a lovely touch where he rang Roy Curtis' mam in the hospice to say that Connolly was back just like he promised he would tell her the last time he was in to see her keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 17/07/2019 09:18:32 2212205 Link 4 |
Nothing vague about any of my messages. It was Connollys decision. Which is what I've always said. Not Gavin shutting the door on him as has been suggested. It has always been up to the lad himself. Sin é.
