Con O'Callaghan what a year he had and he continues to shine for Cuala today blueblood2011 (Dublin) - Posts: 5 - 05/11/2017 21:46:13 2060665 Link 6 |
Was a million miles away from POTY but everything else you say is true - an outstanding season, a massive talent who is fulfilling his enormous potential. Has a great future for bith club and county in whichever code he pursues.

He's Cuala's best player by a mile , every time he gets the ball he causes havoc , cillian Buckley Kilkenny's best defender and athlete took a roasting off him yesterday ,he was chasing him in a foot race yesterday and Con had the ball and Buckley was going backwards, scary to think how good this kid is going to be. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 06/11/2017 07:56:23 2060685 Link 1 |
It is and will be a shame if we dont get to see this lad playing for the Dublin Senior hurlers. I guess the current football team would have to wane for that to happen. Could be waiting a while so... ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 06/11/2017 07:58:07 2060687 Link 0 |
I love his attitude "saw an opportunity on Senior panel and just went for it!", very understated young man. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4892 - 06/11/2017 09:15:05 2060698 Link 1 |
I suppose the with the new formats in hurling and football now that we won't ever again see a dual star the likes of a teddy McCarthy again.

I think Daithi Burke would give him a run for his money, County Champion six times (football) All Ireland feile winner (football), Minor winner (hurling), U21 winner (football), two Connacht Club (football) All Ireland Club winner (football), Senior All Ireland winner (Hurling), three all stars (hurling),

Steady on here fellas. Con O'Callaghan is a great young prospect but all the overheated hyperbole in the world is not going to make him the second coming. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 07/11/2017 12:11:11 2060968 Link 1 |
You're dead right, I hate this sort of thing, all you're doing is setting up the lad for a fall, a little like Clifford from Kerry. Leave them at it.

Cuala are a very good team but if you took any Cuala player out of the team on Sunday they still win the game if you took Con out they don't beat Dicksboro. He's a mile ahead of everyone else on the field last Sunday.

I'm sorry clondalkin I think that is nonsense & an awful put down on the Cuala team.

Is Mark Shutte seriously injured or what? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 07/11/2017 13:40:52 2060991 Link 0 |
A fine player no doubt with pace his greatest strength. But you are way out of line in your analysis of the Cuala team.

I said their a great team but O Callaghan is the game changer, if he wasn't playing Sunday they wouldn't of beaten Dicksboro. Tell me a player that's ever done that to Cillian Buckley at any level? I've never seen it. I'm talking nonsense yet muck thinks Kilcar can win the all Ireland ha, the same Muck who told me to cop on about the 5 in a row. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 07/11/2017 15:52:00 2061023 Link 0 |
Of course Kilcar can win the All Ireland, they are only 4 games away just like 15 other teams They are 6th in the betting at 10/1 & I would pile in if I was you. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 07/11/2017 18:15:06 2061053 Link 0 |
He is very good footballer but many here are getting carried away. One of the positive things about how good Con is that Galway have found a full back, because young Sean Andy O' Kelly destroyed him in the U21 final. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 715 - 07/11/2017 18:16:54 2061055 Link 1 |
He'll probably never play hurling for Dublin seniors for all his talent and promise. Football has always been the richer code in Dublin and has robbed the hurlers of many a fine player.Don't see that changing any tome soon. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 07/11/2017 18:27:31 2061057 Link 0 |
