Replying To Kerry15:  "You must have a lot of free time on your hands…strange thing to make up. One of your line out is living on the other side of the world and the positions are all over the place."


Home last week Tom. Challenge games are for trying new lads out.

Replying To AnFear16:  "Couple of surprises in that team. Keith Evans midfield, Paul O'Shea back in the fold & Emmet O'Shea from Fossa has been a good club player the past few seasons. This sounds like a team picked by Cian O'Neill rather than Jack to me. Interesting to see how many make the panel come January.
Dan O'Donoghue from Spa is the one fella I don't see there that would like to have seen. I wonder what happened there."
Dan Donoghue fell out with Jack. Pity as was going well in 2022.

Replying To Aibrean:  "I don't know why people are so exercised by the forward mark. Teams use it on average only 1.3 times per game so why will getting rid of it cure all the ills of the game?
Compare that to the malaise of handpassing: 3.2 as many handpasses as kicks. Or, the problem of packed defences? Or the problem of players in possession getting battered and bruised and hammered from all angles.

As for David Clifford's use of the mark: he did have 2 marks v Galway, but he scored 3 from play! So, his contribution from play was more significant. Generally, as with other top forwards, maybe he would be even more influential if referees didn't take the view 'that he is well able to look after himself'!!"
David is the best player in the county.

Just popping in to offer my respect and condolences for the great Mick O'Dwyer.
Himself and Heffo saved gaelic football and made it sexy.

'Legend' for once will not be loosely thrown around.

Ah fair play to you Realdub.Yeah himself and Heffo brought football to a new level.A rogue but a real gaa man. A man that hurt after losing but always so gracious.I remember seeing tv footage of him in the Offaly drrssing room in 82 praising Offaly and Eugene McGee altho broken inside.
Did same in 98 with Galway after losing with Kikdare.
