Replying To Fionn:  "Well one player in particular that was mentioned, should not be anywhere near it."
Any clue?

I think it is time for Stephen to move into that roll now. Hang up his boots.

JC would be excellent - I was at a club game in Parnell Park and Na Fianna were playing, and he was on the sideline calling out instructions and tactics. Very astute guy.

We know Brian is currently over in the US playing Gaelic Football, but I didn't realise that there are 53 Inter County GAA players, playing Gaelic Football in America this Summer.

Begs the question, what perks are they getting.?
Or is it purely for the love of the game and to keep themselves active whilst over there.??

One thing is for sure, it makes for a very competitive US club championship....

Are you joking Fionn? Inter county players get paid big money to play in USA. I spent time in New York.Even looking for a job they more or less tell you we want you to play for this county or that county.There are plenty of wealthy Irish business people in the states only too happy to spend their cash helping their counties to win.Its a great way for inter county players to earn good bucks.

Yeah these lads are getting well looked after. You can be sure the likes of Fenton is getting a nice lump sum plus accommodation, car etc for the summer. It's the most well known secret going over there at this stage.

The irony is that loads of these guys will be gone until September yet the intercounty finishing in July is aimed at getting lads back to their clubs earlier. Yet a plethora of top tier players are over in the US and nowhere near their home clubs for another couple of months at best.
