Replying To Fionn: "Managers and coaches take up positions with other counties all the time.
Some are more travelled than others.
I have no great issue with it tbh.
Par for the course.
I would be more concerned with clubs in Dublin inviting/taking in or having inter county imports on their starting team." Hasn't Gilroy denied that rumour?

Replying To Seanfan: "Hasn't Gilroy denied that rumour?" He distanced himself from the rumours alright so let's see what happens.
If Armagh do get him, he would be a major asset to them.
Pat got the Dublin juggernaut going back in 2011…

Yes I know but for me Gilroy is a little different given he was arguably the brains behind the whole resurgence in Dublin. And while someone mentions Jayo & Ger going to other counties to earn their stripes this is a completely different situation given the sheer wealth of experience Gilroy has. He is on a completely different level to arguably anyone else that we have had involved in Dublin football aside from Jim Gavin I would argue.
Anyway he has refuted the rumours last night so hopefully nothing in it ;)

I just read that Ger Brennan gave competitive game time to 60 different players in 2026.
Now it has been said that he is monitoring 50 potential newbies, who include 42 players from this year's club championships, as well as 8 members of Jonny Cooper's U-20 panel, and all will be given an opportunity to impress over the coming weeks.
There were 39 players on last year's Championship panel, with only CK retiring in advance of next season.
I am expecting to see a lot of new face throughout our league campaign.

Kilmacud Crokes 0-22 v Mount Leinster 1-16
Crokes were made to work hard for this win tbh.
They played without a couple of players who were injured and led at the break by only 1pt.
They pushed on in the 2nd half but the Carlow men never gave up.
Crokes finished with 10 players on the scoreboard but they will need a hell of an improvement if they are to beat Ballyhale Shamrocks in the Leinster semi final in 2 weeks.

I see BK are yet again looking for a new manager…..
Unfortunately, the players just aren't there to win the Dublin SFC, currently.
The golden generation the club had a few years ago might never happen again and tbh they underachieved in Dublin, but the exertions of our county players had a major influence on that. They were goosed by the time the club championship came around.
At one stage there were 8 BK players in the Dublin panel. Phenomenal.

It was played on Paddy's Day, so they had a long time to recover in between games from the end of the provincial championship.
They made a great start that day, but Brigid's had the better of the remainder of the game.
