And I prefer GAA to soccer, that has nothing to do with the points being made. It's actually worrying to think that you are not a child who just really wants nothing more than to play for Dublin. Otherwise you need to get out more, maybe travel a bit, see other cultures, like ROC. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 19/07/2017 20:49:42 2019549 Link
Can't agree with you flaker, I am with hill on this 100%. Michael Murphy recently took part in a swop with Liam Williams the Welsh rugby player which saw Murph spend time with a professional French team. Murph did very well & was asked if he would consider swopping playing amateur GAA with Donegal for professional rugby & he said no. The GAA & Donegal were in his blood & knowing hill as I do the GAA & Dublin are part of his DNA & I would have been amazed to have heard him say anything different.

Replying To Aido69: "I wasn't singling out Donegal people either. But it is a countrywide thing. Most threads on this forum end up in childish whataboutery. It's not just a Dublin thing. Anyway that's me done. We could keep going in circles." to be fair, its not just Dublin, but there seems to be a contingent from there who can see no wrong in any actions from their countymen.

Murphy is one of the top footballers the country has ever seen. Easy enough to say that all the same when he knows it isn't really an option! The poster I am talking to has had no experience at any level but can say for sure he wouldn't do what Jim did. Like how would anyone know that?

Now I do know that Murphy is a genuine homebird so maybe he wouldn't have gone but it was never an option so it really is easy to say that. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 19/07/2017 21:32:21 2019590 Link
Replying To hill16no1man: "Again I'll explain this really slow I prefer gaelic football to soccer I'm not motivated by money in my life I would rather do things that make me happy than do things just for money. I think it says more about your morals if your only motivation in life is money. I think my family would rather see me happy than do something just for money as they care about my happiness." the morals bit was sarcasm in case you missed that one, im motivated by plenty of things in life. But while we're on the topic of morals you seem to look down your nose at a man who has a passion for sport and wants to excel past his local area. Just because you dont like soccer you ridicule those that do? How do you know the man isn't happier in Glasgow or wherever he choses to work? you're talking nonsense, just because JMcG has it easier now doesnt mean he didn't when he was managing Donegal. are those years just erased from existence now to suit your rants?

Replying To Damothedub: "Could've gone either way doesn't cut it , either you won or you didn't , the one trick is in relation to his inability to design a plan B" i think thats an extremely simplistic viewpoint to have, he put his players in the best position to succeed, alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 19/07/2017 23:16:31 2019656 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Never said we weren't What's that got to do with anything relating to the point I was addressing ? If you're going to come back pretending to be from Dublin at least address me in a manner which actually relates to a point that I'm making. Cheers" you said we werent a defence first side, under gilroy we were, and theres no need to try and silence those with a different opinion to you, you belong on a facebook comments section with that kind of attitude alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 19/07/2017 23:17:55 2019658 Link
Replying To hill16no1man: "what a pack of rubbish he upped sticks and went to celtic for money and a team that had every percievable thing going compared to the mickey mousers in the league they played now hes gone worse to the mega rich chinese league yeah jimmy the saint come off it would ya and while your at it we constantly here the people your part of the world talking about it being a much better quality of life living there surely that must be an unfair advantage than us poor dubs???????????????????? or wait those that only work one way hmmmmmmm" seems someone really isnt a fan of jim mccguiness yet is happy out with us dominating leinster quite similar to how celtic dominate scotland alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 19/07/2017 23:20:00 2019660 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Listen McGuninness was talking through his hoop about Gavin He completely overreacted and he greatly over blew the consequences of Gavin's actions The language he used was very over top It was poor effort on his part IMO The exact same applies to Charlie's effort but he obviously took umbrage to Jim Mc's past effort and decided to throw a bit of much back Two poor articles" by mcguinness standards i think the article was a bit overly strong/reactionary, hes normally a decent bit more measured alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 19/07/2017 23:20:46 2019661 Link
it really is funny to see this thread turn into an anti mcguinness/anti soccer rant, look what charlie said was stupid and hypocritical seeing the style of play we played under gilroy..the amount of hatred towards mcguinness by certain people i dont quite get or understand alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 19/07/2017 23:23:58 2019662 Link

Replying To jimbodub: "Not that you'd have to worry about playing there ;)" does your armchair get a run out at Croker?? fair play! SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 20/07/2017 01:07:10 2019696 Link
Replying To alano12: "its called a fan, a few of them do exist" is it really though? If a player from my own county acts a fool I'll call him one. does that mean im not a fan of my county?? SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 20/07/2017 01:22:51 2019700 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "Listen man, your post is so daft it doesn't warrant a response. Unless you are a teenager who has zero life experience then you seriously need to raise your goals for life. Die hard Dubs fan who has no interest in making being a success in a professional sports environment, well done." So I take it you feel everybody who decided to play inter county and particularly those who played for some 15 years like andy moran,stephen cluxton,tomas and marc o se had no goals in life. a gaa person who has little interest in soccer would be more accurate, I know it seems hard for you to understand that. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/07/2017 08:19:20 2019724 Link
