20 Questions

[Onlooker]

Very interesting that it is almost the unanimous view of posters to this thread that they are in favour of dual players and give them great credit.   It appears that GAA journalists are very much out of touch (again) with the views of fans.  They like county Senior Managers constantly knock the idea of dual players.

Post some decent club match reports when season gets back in full swing

[J70]

1. Why your user name –  nothing worth repeating!
2. Favourite all time game – 1992 AI final, obviously!
3. Favourite all time player from your county – Tony Boyle
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com. – No one in particular – basically anyone who is willing to partake in an honest, informed discussion. Despite the morons infesting the place at the moment, there are plenty of intelligent posters who contribute. Also, The John Haran Experience posts some great summaries of matches, which I can't get to as an exile.
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. – Get rid of all the juvenile foul-mouth idiots who've joined since the changeover. How the hell did they all find it all of a sudden?!!
6. Player from another county you admire. – Stevie McDonnell – class act!
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) – Why not!
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs – lived in Dublin for years. I knew very few who played or even cared about the game.
9. Best Moment of the year? – For Donegal – the Kavanagh goal against Down – maybe we weren't that bad after all (we went into that game as basic no-hopers)
10. Worst moment of the year? – Throwing away the quarter final to Cork. We'd enough chances to comfortably win two games.
11. Breasts or bum? – Bum.
12. Breaking ball or park live? I've never seen Park Live, so its Breaking Ball I guess (I did like it!).
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- Lesser of several evils there. Can't choose!
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly. DJ is the greatest!
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? Find another midfielder and get a few of the forwards scoring!
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy – Win midfield, crowd him out, cut off his options once on the ball. Donegal won an All Ireland facing a similar problem with Vinny Murphy, although Dublin's lack of plan B did help!
17. Hopes for 2007. – Even though we're on the same side as Armagh and Tyrone, if we get out of Ballybofey in May (which would indicate some potential), we could cause an upset and win Ulster. Backdoor to the quarters is the most likely. A semi-final would be nice!
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. - Kerry
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. – Kilkenny or Cork!
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007. – That it lasts through its current malaise.

[paddypastit]

1. Why your user name? Choice of mothers perogative on birth and an obvious statement about my footballing capability
2. Favourite all time game? ? Couldn't pick one.
3. Favourite all time player from your county? Paul Taylor - pity his best had come and gone pre 2001 - 3
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com? ?
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site - I have more to be worrying about
6. Player from another county you admire? so many, at the minute, D Se, B Cullen, C McDonald
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not). yes - not practical in most cases but they should be able if they want
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs.  Yes
9. Best Moment of the year? Probably Mayo Dublin
10. Worst moment of the year? Being generally in the nuetral corner and not getting to see my home county that often (and anyway they were OK this year) nothing happened to get upset about
11. Breasts or bum? breasts
12. Breaking ball or park live? Park live
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 - what a stupid question
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly; When Kelly has achieved as much as DJ then the comparison will be fairer
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? Impossible so let's not waste time
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy/ Stop the ball out the park for starters
17. Hopes for 2007. Plenty of good football
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. Very open. Can't see the drive in Ky, are Cork on a steady upward curve, Donegal likewise. Is O'Mahoney enough of a added factor in Mayo for a team that is really limited enough, Armagh hae an odd mix of very young and very seasoned - could it work or are they still in transition, can Tyrone do anything without Canavan or Galway likewise without Joyce / Donnellan, will proper modern training and tactical planning make Laois serious contenders rather than skillful greyhounds, will Dublin find the 5 players that they need,
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. Kilkenny or Tipp
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007 - as if anyone would care??

When Kerry tagged on a few scores before half time in AIF, killing off any slim chance of making a contest of the game.

15. What your own county needs to do to win Sam next year?
Need to locate a specialist full back and corner backs that are able to contest the high ball. JO'M will take care of everything else  

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy
Hate the idea but a deep lying centre back maybe sweeping. Hopefully the specialist full back would do.
