There's no rights or wrongs in whatever spelling you use, it's all about preferences of the day." No storm at all. Just pointing out that we see the incorrect spelling of the name a lot. I agree with the other posters that it's an easy one to get wrong, particularly for non-Gaeilge speakers.
If I was to keep referring to Paul O'Connell as Plau O'Connell, I'd definitely be spelling his name wrong. So there is a right way and a wrong way of spelling a name.

Replying To Fighting-Cocks69: "it wouldn't have a major affect on any Roscommon players if Connacht brought this in, considering a Roscommon school has only won the Senior A Post-Primary title twice in the last 56 years. The reason I mentioned the Ulster model is that it shows the competition can realistically be run over a single weekend. If some clubs don't want to take part, they can simply opt out. But who wouldn't want the best clubs in each county competing against each other. Most school teams have been training since early September, juggling both club and school" The Ulster minor championship begins at the end of November and is played on a knockout basis with the final traditionally played on New Year's Day. It's not ran off on a weekend. Connacht also have a minor provincial competition. November & December are the main months for schools senior championship so if Mullingar shamrocks were playing in a Leinster competition it would directly conflict with CBS. Throw in Plunketts & CBS hurlers and it would be a lot with some players then going straight into county minor or U20.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Ó Ceallacháin would have picked him already. I doubt you will see current management pick any country lads. Same as footballers. It is good for esprit de corp." And they are right.
Good club hurler, but missing the pace for inter county hurling.
He was on Kielys extended panel in 2020 and then was let go.

Replying To dgcrusader: "Would rather him than some of the other forward options we've had off the bench over the last couple of years" Bit harsh on McBrearty Eddie.He is a good bit younger than Murphy and it would be sad if he is going because he thinks he is not going to get game time. Wasn't he instrumental in getting McGuinness back even though he wasn't a starter as far back as the 2014 All Ireland run.

If I was to keep referring to Paul O'Connell as Plau O'Connell, I'd definitely be spelling his name wrong. So there is a right way and a wrong way of spelling a name." Your initial interest in my spelling / misspelling of Tadgh / Tadhg was to say the least interesting, what it really boiled down to was the reversal of the last two letters, hg simple as that, how they were arranged in the spelling meant a lot to you and I respect that.
I went out of my way to put my understanding and my view's on the spelling in my post.
However, yesterday I posted two replies making sure they were squeaky clean and within the house rules, unfortunately they didn't make the forum. I also posted a reply to a different poster, sadly that post didn't make the forum either, unless I'm mistaken it is the fourth time in a month, I simply don't understand how it works.
I was of the opinion it is a forum to share sporting information, not a popularity forum.
Happy Xmas, - - - - sorry I mean Christmas.
