Stefan Campbell signs for Lurgan Celtic

It is not physically possible to maintain a decent level soccer career and a GAA county career nowadays.In any event neither manager,particularly a county GAA manager,would tolerate it.Basketball is totally different,you just stand there,on a relatively small court,no physical contact,receive and pass the ball with an odd jump to score.

How do you know either Geezer or Paddy O'Hagan won't tolerate it

[T Fearon]

They demand full and exclusive commitment.The lad can hardly play an Irish League Div 1 game on a Saturday afternoon,and potentially a NFL game a few hours later,the same evening.

This comment on basketball shows how little you actually know Tony. You really have no idea

[T Fearon]

You just stand around,no physical hits,with the odd jump.It is the equivalent of chess,not physically strenuous.

Stand around

I don't know of any game that involves more sprinting and movement than Basketball.

Must not know where the term used in gaelic these days called full court press comes from.  Have you played much basketball at a decent level yourself Tony that you know of the physical demands involved or have you watched an odd game at the Olympics and decided you know everything about it.  Also what about the other point - why raise this as its own thread..is the Armagh County thread not a good enough place to discuss it?

Basketball compliments Gaelic football so you'd much rather players choosing it rather than something like soccer or rugby

Dublin obviously thought Basketball was more than just standing around http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/dublin-boss-jim-gavin-drafts-in-renowned-basketball-coach-to-help-beat-blanket-defences-31110249.html

We have been playing in at underage level for years in the winter months.

Basketball is a namby pamby sport,unlike soccer.Not demanding at all

Too obvious Tony. Too obvious.

Playing for LC certainly does not demand full and exclusive commitment

As someone else remarked - can this localised uninteresting squabble be hived off to the Armagh section.
