Replying To BigBàsMan:  "Was in Kuwait on work. Overseeing a gas pipeline. Didn't even get to go to the Loughrea match. Better team won no doubt about it. Few Loughrea lads didn't show up on the day. They'll be back !"
Explains a lot of the hot air so.

I'd certainly have Roarty over Curran

Can Jack O'connor Over Take Jim Gavin? - 1 Like(s)

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Heffernan won 3, 4 if you include 1963 when he was effectively manager before there was such a thing, and 5 given that he was very much there as Hanahoe's right hand man in 1977.

Then back in the day there was the great Kerry trainer/manager Fitzgerald who ran up a right few.

And as someone said above, before 2000 it was very much a main man doing most everything from selection to coaching and in between.

Good conversation piece but meaningless to pick any of the big names over the other."
Dead right Barney. Heffo was superb and a man way before his time.Even Micko Dwyer said he followed Heffo s methods.
Also you are correct in that Heffo and his likes did it all themselves.
I mean Gavin did great (cant take that away from him) but he had a massive backroom team and a different person for every job.He was in charge of a golden generation but he came intoa team that had won an All Ireland and Gilroy had everything on a plate for him.
Gavin does nt compare with Heffo .Gavin also left when he thought the team had come to an end but Dessie got another 2 All Irelands out of them.

Gavin was also lucky in his reign and won a semi and 2 finals after replays.Heffo s team won convincingly when they won.Heffo brought Dublin back from the doldrums and won with different teams.

Allianz protest - 1 Like(s)
There is a strong hint of 'If we can't do everything we should do nothing' about many of the remarks here. There is a very specific difference between say Allianz and Amazon versus other companies involved in GAA activity... Allianz and Amazon are explicitly cited in the UN report linking them to material complicity in what was/is happening in Gaza.

Those protesting Allianz are perfectly legitimate in doing so IMO, and should also protest Amazon's involvement too. If that offends you, don't join the protest. But to try and de-legitmise it by making a 'let those without sin...' argument seems to me an excuse never to do anything unless it solve everything. You can't make any progress with that mindset.

Replying To 1shot:  "Back young Niland on the frees like Tipp did with Darragh McCarthy.
Rabbitte and Niland are a breath of fresh air"
C Mannion is well able to score frees in the Duggan Park or St Brendans Park Loughrea for A/F but Niland seems more precise striking them! Niland contributes alot less from play than C Mannion.
I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of form C Whelan is in.....we could use his muscle and b*****king inside and he'd work well with young Rabbitte.
If Rabbitte beefed up and put on another 10kg of muscle....he would be a machine nobody would stop him...man and ball everything into the net!

Clare will never stay humble. She just needs to remember to sign out of one account and signing into another before posting.

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "We need to compile a shopping list, and head back down under for some players. Bundee, Lowe, Gibson Park nearly finished. Maybe have a look in Argentina for a few props too,"
No need to troll. And we dont need to go abroad for anyone.
We need to work on developing more players from provinces.

Another low from the openly racist White House today with Trump sharing a video depicting the Obamas as monkeys. He's clearly mentally lost it completely. Should be impeached straight away.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "At least we will be spared months of nonsense about how they are going to win the World Cup.

Do they still award a Wooden Spoon?"
Dunno, but we still have won more of them than anyone else.....

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "The first half was good to watch in fairness. French played with real flair and their first try of second half was brilliant albeit aided by Three Stooges like defending.

In fairness the guys did step up to the plate for a few minutes and managed to get two messy tries to take the bad look off things. I suppose they might beat Italy,"
First half was good to watch...yeah and 22 - 0 the score lol
In fairness the French 29 - 0 took the foot off the gas job done but they were able to accelerate again towards the end. Lucky Ireland weren't beaten 40pts!
Not looking good....wonder what odds Scotland are to bate Irelande mmmmmmm interested!
