The more I think about it, the more I'm annoyed that Cillian O'Connor started today. Before throw in I said it'd be a madness call if he started because he clearly couldn't be ready.

But even more than that, James Horans biggest and arguably only quality is that he brings through young players very well. So today he could've given Orme or Carney an opportunity and live or die by the outcome.

But no COC is back so he starts. He now knows he doesn't need to up his game at all because he's an automatic starter. He wasn't fit today, he contributed nothing, and took frees off our best forward because he is who he is.

He could've started a young player today and if it didn't work you have a fired up COC coming off the bench to earn his place. But instead COC is ineffective and you have no options off the bench.

One of the main things I can't get over is the 45s. He can't take them, whatever about the frees he kicked the easy ones and missed the big one but whatever he's kicked enough frees to earn a bit of leeway there. But he can't take 45s, he probably hasn't kicked one in 10 years. It would be okay if the frees were split between him and ROD based on ability. But COC has to take everything.

He'll start the next day. He knows that. So why push that extra yard?
My dear fellow,you have the brain of a batttery hen if you think Cillian doesn't push himself to the very limit EVERY time he takes the field.

A slight alteration doesn't have all of both teams, subs bench and staff involved does it.
slight alteration needed to this post methinks

Kerry fans embarrassing themselves here tonight, its a League match in February but you'd think they were Burnley playing at home against Barcelona with some of the small time booing, jeering and insults coming from the stands.
Paudie had them spot-on!😁

GAA Discussion / Oisin Mullin staying with Mayo

Good news for Mayo that Oisin had rejected the move down under to stick with the GAA.
