You are thinking of Ben O'Connor

Ok. Thanks.

[Reminds me of Derry in 1993, when Tohill ploughed through the muck]

Another "it's their time", "greater need" analysis.

Which I think is fair enough, but it's pressure.

Reminds me of Derry in 1993, when Tohill ploughed through the muck and the Donegal backs to drag them to the title and AI shot they felt they'd fail to grab the previous year, which is why I am a little worried about men like Rian O'Neill being particularly driven!

Will never know how big Tohill stayed on his feet throughout the game, men bouncing off him while all around him, both Derry and Donegal men were sliding and slipping all around him. Still the best individual performance I've ever seen.

Aye was laughing at that.

A lot of the criticisms were coming from people who support men dressed in fancy gowns with mitres on their head, holding croziers, who are part of a murky cult that excludes women and abuse children.

Witchcraft could be on the rise.

It's a military exercise now I've heard of clubs mapping out housing estates and hitting an area 2-3 times to make sure they get everyone.

An Antrim club appeared 3 nights in Ballinascreen the week before last... they've been raving about how well they've been received. To be fair our people would be good at supporting any GAA draw and we get plenty of visitors because of that.

I know you feel bad not buying but we're all grown men and women if we don't want to buy a ticket we don't have to!!

Benny did as good a job as the U20s did. Probably won more games than the u20s?

No he did not.. that u20s team were shocking at minor level and have won a trophy at u20 level having drawn with Tyrone in the championship. Their improvement is remarkable.

I like the performance too. She's getting serious abuse from Mother Ireland on social media (and I don't mean the Palestine situation). Can be a nasty little country couched in religious traditionalism etc

I find it hard to turn anyone away particularly if they've travelled a long distance. I remember one dark wet winter Sunday night a few years ago a couple of boys from magherafelt landed at my door with tickets. I took them in and made them tea. One of them told me in the course of the conversation that he worked in the civil service in Belfast and had done a half days overtime that morning. Now that's dedication to your club

A few decent performances this year.

Standouts for me were Ireland, Switzerland and Croatia.
