And it's your best 14, Tom. I bet you wouldn't be as erroneous if it came to counting pennies, Mr. Cavan man. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2385 - 30/09/2025 17:01:55 2638002 Link

Amazing not many putting the Gooch into their team. Also Lee keegan not in many team selections? Colm Boyle? Andy moran ? Also from a mayo person Paul Conroy ? If Clifford is in their so is Conroy . S1234 (Mayo) - Posts: 385 - 30/09/2025 23:03:46 2638047 Link
Replying To sligo joe: "Who's Dermot Connolly?" Obviously meant to post Diarmuid Connolly. One of the most talented Dubin players ever. His clashes with Lee Keegan over the years were top drawer. I included both of them in my team. For example, Connolly nearly won the club All Ireland final for St Vincent's on his own that day. Outstanding footballer. Lee Keegan and Dermot Earley were probably the only two players who did not win an All Ireland who should be in the top 15.

Replying To sligo joe: "Who's Dermot Connolly?" Even a yank knows that Diarmuid and Dermot mean the same name. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2385 - 01/10/2025 13:14:21 2638128 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "Even a yank knows that Diarmuid and Dermot mean the same name." We all know that. However Diarmuid Connolly was never known as Dermot Connolly. Like saying James Moynihan or Peadar Canavan. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 1019 - 01/10/2025 13:46:38 2638140 Link
Some great teams picked there. Surprised anyone could pick a team without Jack O'Shea, surely the best footballer of all time. From a Meath pov surprised only one person picked Trevor Giles (2 time footballer of the year) and no one picked Colm O'Rourke, who was some footballer.

Replying To sligo joe: "We all know that. However Diarmuid Connolly was never known as Dermot Connolly. Like saying James Moynihan or Peadar Canavan." Or going back to the original post by TomSmith himself, like saying Carol Lacey instead of Karl Lacey...... :D Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 3141 - 01/10/2025 15:47:26 2638159 Link
Replying To Pikeman96: "Or going back to the original post by TomSmith himself, like saying Carol Lacey instead of Karl Lacey...... :D" With Tom, you just never know if these things are by accident or design :-) slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6579 - 01/10/2025 15:55:45 2638168 Link

The only so called Irishman on here who persists on putting a L in the Derry county name. Grow up. And yes there is a fair chance it's over 30 years since John Joe played, he died in 1952. Now there are no Caaavan men on the team, replaced with Sean Cavanagh. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2413 - 01/10/2025 21:32:10 2638200 Link
