8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs

Did someone from reservoir dubs really ask that? I'm surprised any of them even know that theres hurling in Dublin.

[magpie seanie]

1. Why your user name

2. Favourite all time game
Sligo SFC final 2005, 18/9/06. Not great football but it just meant so much.

Eamonn O'Hara. Predictable I suppose but some of the stuff he's done in a Sligo shirt defies belief.

4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com.

Less idiots

6. Player from another county you admire.
Maurice Fitzgerald. Outrageous.

N/A

11. Breasts or bum?
Breasts and bum.

12. Breaking ball or park live?

To post less

[uselessfootballer]

1. The unfortunate truth.
2. Last year's Dublin Tyrone Quarter-Final
3. Ger Cavlan, on he's day a genius
4. ONeil, usually a good mixture of knowledgeable comment and pure nonsense.
5. 3 strikes and you're out for foul, abusive or outwardly sectarian comments
6. The Gooch
7. Yes of course, but they seem to be becoming a thing of the past, with managers insisting players show commitment by choosing
8. N/A
9. My wee cub meeting Sean Cavanagh on the pitch at Casement during the presentation of the McKenna cup. Any mention of it still brings a big involuntary grin to his face
10. Standing in Healy Park in May listening to a group of young Derry gabshites simply laughing out loud at Tyrone's abject performance that day. Had to grip the rail with both hands and keep repeating to myself, don't turn round, for god's sake don't turn around.
11. Either,at my age a glimpse of either is welcome
12. Breaking Ball
13. N/A
14. DJ
15. Pray that all of last years injuries clear up (esp. Brian McGuigan), uncover some cover in relation to scoring forwards and get 1st choices established for key defensive positions (FB and CHB) and defensive/holding midfield position, early in the season.
16. Pressure up the field on delivery and double-tag with a sweeper role if FB is struggling.
17. A long championship season for Tyrone. In Tyrone for the Sigersons to perform on the big days, In Down St. Pauls to adapt to life in Div3
18. Hopefully Tyrone, sneaky feeling for the JOM fairytale in Mayo
19. Kilkenny, on route to 3-in-a-row.
20. To become more involved and post more, currently find it difficult as recently so many of the threads disolve into he-said-she-said drivel so quickly

[belleaqua]

1. Why your user name

    Was lookin for something random, and saw it on some Latin shit(i think twas Latin) beside me and picked that!

2. Favourite all time game

   Galway v Kilkenny 2005, narrowly edging out the same game in 2001.

3. Favourite all time player from your county

   Joe Cooney - absolute class. Michael Meehan - never seen a more gifted player, won a club All-ireland on his own at 19.
   

4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com.

   Not around long enough to say but easy seperate the good from the bad, alot of the Mayo lads actually impress me.

5. Things you'd like to see change on the site.

    Stupid pathetic comments by a few regular posters only looking for a row.

6. Player from another county you admire.

    Tommy Walsh/Kieran McDonald

7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not)

   Of course they should, its amateur sport!

8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs

  I hope so, have won a Leinster title in the last couple of years so fingers crossed.

9. Best Moment of the year?

   Uuuhh, Potumna/Salthill All Ireland double, bad year otherwise.

10. Worst moment of the year?
   
     Pearse Stadium v Westmeath, Blood pressure was at a very high point that evening.

11. Breasts or bum?
   
    Breasts

12. Breaking ball or park live?

     Breaking Ball, captured what the GAA is about better than Park Live i think.

13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs

     Cork

14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly

     Eoin Kelly, bad team around him.

15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year?

     A midfield, if we win 50% of possession every game wel be hard stopped, backline never been better and still have the class up    front.

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy

     A sweeper looks the best option so far.

17. Hopes for 2007.

    A Galway double.

18. Who will win Sam in 2007.

      Kerry or Tyrone. Hunger will be back for them and if injury free will bw a big threat. Kerry will be close because I think the best way a 2 in a row will be achieved is with a fresh approach, which they now have.

19. Who will win Liam in 2007.

     Galway, great chance now.

20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007.

      Not get involved in petty arguments.

5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. looks alrite so far.
6. Player from another county you admire. Anthony Daly
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) defo, and the GAA should do more to accomadate them.
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs. If they can manage to bring the young lads onto senior they should be competitive in a few years.
9. Best Moment of the year? The Macs clincher against Dublin
10. Worst moment of the year? Coopers Goal after hitting the post firstly. That was the final nail in the coffin.
11. Breasts or bum? Breasts

13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs. Cork
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly. Both pure magic but Kelly gets it for more consistency.
15. What your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? Need to find a full back,centre back and corner back, need to beef up a bit, be more aggressive and less nice and unfortunately need more cyniscism.

17. Hopes for 2007. SAM, couldnt really be anything else.
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. Mayo

20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007. Post more

[charlie linkbox]

1. Why your user name. No reason - just popped into my head
2. Favourite all time game. The 2005 Div.2 league final (especially the end - you couldn't script it)
3. Favourite all time player from your county. Noel Marron - he always drew the short starw and had to mark the oppositions' best scorer
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com. Don't really have one. Never kickt a ball maybe - he always seems to be logged on when I am so we've had a few conversations
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. Get rid of the poster's who are only here to attentions seek and antagonise
6. Player from another county you admire. Declan Browne (how does he keep going?)
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) Of course - if you're good enough and willing to put in the time and effort, why not?
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs. There's hope to compete with the Wexfords and Offalys but never the Kilkennys or Corks.
9. Best Moment of the year? Hammering Dublin by double scores in the league game in Parnell Park. Monaghan were on fire that day
10. Worst moment of the year? Getting beat by Wexford. Mattie Ford did the damage and he shouldn't even have been playing after what he did in the Offaly game. If he was then suspended for the Fermanagh game what was he doing playing against us???
11. Breasts or bum? Breasts
12. Breaking ball or park live? Breaking Ball - hands down
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs. I'll take my chances with the exploding head

15. What your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? A few rosaries and a pilgrimage to Lough Derg
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy. If you haven't a full back tall enough to compete in the air, let him fetch the ball and nail him when he comes back to earth. Corner backs have to be in position in case he breaks the ball though
17. Hopes for 2007. Get to the Ulster Final. Tyrone, Armagh and Denegal are on the other side of the draw so it's a possibility
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. Tyrone

Hope that age doesn't begin to catch up on McGrane and McGeeney, that McDonnell and Clarke are at their best and that the right players are picked in their best positions

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy
Make Francie a foot taller and play McGeeney as the 'sweeper'

17. Hopes for 2007.
To win Sam, I dunno how realistic that is but anything else won't set the pulse racing.

18. Who will win Sam in 2007
Armagh (I have an awful fear of bveing the pesimistic fecker who ends up taking the falk at the end of the season when the pessism was prooved wrong!)

Galway
