Thanks Dessie, some servant to the county cause. Serious commitment for all those years. moodoo (Monaghan) - Posts: 441 - 27/11/2019 15:24:14 2251811 Link 3 |
Best wishes to Dessie now and in the future. Some service in a career spanning 15 years and a part of some great years for Mongahan, winning provincials and sunny days in Croke Park at the height of the championship, a whisker away from a final in 18. Very distinguished club career i'm sure he will continue. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 27/11/2019 17:43:37 2251840 Link 5 |
Vinny Corey gone now aswell, 2 serious servants for club and county for almost 2 decades, and lads that you could always rely on. No shock to see them depart, but they will still be missed in the dressing room. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 936 - 27/11/2019 18:50:18 2251852 Link 3 |
I mean this in the best possible way, but good ridddance to both! Many's a day they were a thorn in the side of Donegal. Two absolute warriors on the pitch. Their longevity can only be admired. Best of luck to both men in their retirement. No doubt they'll still offer plenty to Clontibret and indeed Monaghan in years to come.

Ha ha! Nice one Lockjaw. I expect Michael Murphy has more than a hint of a smile on his face at seeing the back of Vincent Corey. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 28/11/2019 17:45:11 2252003 Link 1 |
True. Himself and Michael had many a good tussle. Vinny was more than just a spoiler though, a very good footballer in his own right. Dessie had an uncanny ability to drill points with the outside of his foot while running at full tilt the divil. Aside from their undoubted footballing ability Banty will surely miss their leadership and influence in the dressing room aswell. Time waits for no man though. The two lads had a great innings and can look back at their careers with pride. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9108 - 28/11/2019 20:59:19 2252029 Link 1 |
