Replying To slayer: "I don't find any of them entertaining really. Ex players ore often guarded about what they say, hoping for a pundit role somewhere. Others are full of cliches, half true stories that grew legs over the years and stories that have been heard a lot of times before. Even up for the match, while it is a national treasure at this stage, is fairly predictable in what it serves up.
Out of the pundits I've listened to, John Mullane is one of the most likeable because his passion for the game is and has always been refreshing.
I find the opinions of ordinary fans (like on here) far more interesting because those opinions take far more into account - the cost of attending games, travel times, where to get a pre match pint, the game itself or the experience of bringing children to a game. There may already be one, I don't know, but a podcast without ex players, managers, ex managers or any celebrity would be very interesting." I dont listen to GAA podcasts, I make up my own mind from watching games, not listening to people some of whom have agenda's of their own. Its the same with studio analysis on TV, no interest at all in it any more, far too safe and predictable.

Replying To Fionn: "https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/337891
And this was exactly my point.....!
His backroom team needs additional experience in there.
Hopefully he is working on getting additional coaches, with experience, in." I'm losing faith in your opinion if you're reaching out to "click-bait" Pat for back up.
Surely there could be an advantage there, in that this management team are not burdened by past experiences and can approach the task more adventurously maybe, they are young but have all played at the highest level under proven managers, they strike me as four of the most tactically aware players of their era. To have a more experienced coach involved with them? yes it could be a plus but not necessarily so, let them at it I say!

Replying To cillnaile.: "I thought you were spoofing Gussie, but sure macca did suggest the return of Seamie…
"Sean Quigley without doubt still best forward in county, be invaluable from frees and 2 pointers, the 3 up certainly makes it easier for him to be involved and not impact in defensive set-up as can stay up. At very least as an impact sub, although know he might not be happy for such a role. Look at the influence Michael Murphy has had on Donegal.
macca999 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 1187 - 03/07/2025 16:43:26"
However, here is a response to that comment from another poster…
"I have to laugh at the posters commenting on moving on with the young lads and then in the next breath wanting to bring back the Roslea man. Anyone with an ounce of wit should know that ship has sailed long ago and is well beyond the horizon.
ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 802 - 21/08/2025 13:01:50"
Having quoted these responses and your own Gussie, "I wonder if he will be radical and bring Seamus Quigley to the sub bench as macca999 recently suggested," I say that Bonner should be openminded to the return of Seamie Quigley as an impact sub.
As for the poster Orielman's take on the subject, you'd swear Seamie was collecting the pension the way you're going on! The man is only 33, not 53, even two years younger than McCusker, the captain! If the county's "best forward in years" is still togging out for Roslea, then he's hardly beyond the horizon.
Nobody's saying build the team around him or drag him up to stormy Lissan for winter training, but as macca pointed out, a man who can kick frees and win you a tight game is worth a jersey, even if it's only 20 minutes from the bench. Funny how Murphy was a messiah for Donegal in his return, but when it's Fermanagh's best forward folk start shouting "ship has sailed."
If Bonner has any streak of madness in him, beyond working on skill and confidence development of the young lads, then give Seamie a cameo. Imagine, the roar from Brewster if his name was read out would drown out half the county and have Pete McGrath head spinning, if he was watching!" I think you're confusing the Quigley brothers but having said both could be useful to bring on from the bench but I'm not sure if the manager be of the same thinking.

Dublin V Tyrone Should NOT Be In Croke Pk! - 1 Like(s)
Replying To WanPintWin: "I'd say a good 50% of your posts are about that topic. You post very little about the actual football, especially in Kerry. I'd love to hear more from Kerry supporters on their own club championships. Fossa keep getting the job done. Will they be favourites against An Ghaeltacht in the intermediate final?" Any club with David Clifford deserves to be favorites.
