A tremendous advertisement for football on Saturday as the true fans of the GAA were served up an enthralling contest which ultimately was slightly ruined by a poor refereeing display. AustinGleeson6 (Galway) - Posts: 223 - 19/02/2018 11:16:56 2078270 Link 2 |
Con massively over hyped alright, he really needs to start winning medals to justify his profile. :D TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 19/02/2018 11:33:22 2078279 Link 0 |
O'Callaghan was quiet enough but he's clearly not over hyped. JDF (Galway) - Posts: 322 - 19/02/2018 11:58:00 2078292 Link 0 |
Con is still a brilliant talent and will always be. Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 518 - 19/02/2018 12:35:14 2078312 Link 0 |

Congrats UCD entertaining game, luck went against NUIG on the day. Even the ref blocked a NUIG clearing pass and hopped the ball where UCD got the point, unlucky. Damien Comer put in a great shift and just had an unbelievable few weeks with too many matches. Condolences to his family on their recent loss also. NUIG had a massive campaign and well done to them too, they can be proud. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1662 - 19/02/2018 12:41:51 2078320 Link 0 |
Sigerson semi on Wednesday, final on Saturday? Club players getting Garda escorts from Tullamore to Santry? Inter-county league games the following day and the previous Sunday? GAA needs to get real with the schedule. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1193 - 19/02/2018 12:54:33 2078326 Link 0 |
Didn't realise Michael Daly was with NUIG this year too. His injury was a big loss to them as he would have been their 2nd best forward after Comer. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 19/02/2018 13:32:47 2078339 Link 0 |
Most of the talk in the last week seemed to revolve around O'Callaghan and Comer, but McCarthy was excellent throughout. He scored 1-12 between the semi and final and was named MOTM in both I believe. Hopefully he carries that form back into the Monaghan jersey which will set up a big year for him. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 936 - 19/02/2018 14:28:38 2078366 Link 0 |
That's defo all true, however county managers need to take a little bit of responsibility here as well in terms of player welfare. If you were a county manager and had players playing in the Sigerson/Fitzgibbon was it really neccesary to flog them and having them playing in the opening league games as well? Particularly at the weekend where you had lads playing a high intensity Final on Saturday and then expected to lone out again on the Sunday.

There's very little time for the Sigerson to be played at another time of year. JDF (Galway) - Posts: 322 - 19/02/2018 15:40:01 2078406 Link 0 |
DId Adam Gallagher of Mayo impress? He finished with 1-3 I think? Hoping he gets a run in our underperforming county team for the next few league games

He took his frees and goal well. He looks the part physically but just think his lack of pace is going to hold him back, he's certainly not going to become a Mayo regular this year and don't think he's good enough to make a difference, he's probably a better bet as a replacement for Doherty in an AI final then Drake is though to be fair.

I know someone from his club (Scotstown) well and he's been telling me for a good few years now about this talent who's coming through. First time I saw him in the flesh was in an AI minor semi final vs mayo and even though monaghan lost he was brilliant.

Hopefully he's managed well and we get to see a lot of him , probably lucky he's slightly under the radar with Clifford and Con about , he also will learn a lot playing with the fantastic McManus who I could watch all day Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 21/02/2018 17:24:44 2079039 Link 0 |
To give the other lads a chance, how about making county players ineligible for colleges competitions. I'll get my coat ... essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 21/02/2018 20:42:38 2079078 Link 0 |
