Wud have both J McMahons ahead of O'Carrol

McCaffery ahead of Jordan 

Brogan ahead of McGuigan? 08 was the best year Brogan was ever having, the Tyrone match told me everything I needed to know about him on a pitch.

i) O'Carroll is comfortably the best full back of this century so far.

ii) McCaffrey has just been named Sunday Game POTY and will go on to become an all-time great. Jordan never came remotely close to being POTY.

iii) A comment which tells me everything I need to know about your football knowledge, ie, there isn't much of it.

Exactly, glad you can see what he was at now, he was trying to equate POTY to be the Sunday Game POTY (which it aint).

BTW, thanks for backing me up, I knew you would come around to see things sensibly when you had all the facts  .

And you still fail to understand even when things are quite clearly pointed out to you, seems to be a common theme with you. Ah well, you can take a horse to water and all that.

Sam came home to Armagh! Croke Park officials have only 12 years to plan the 25th anniversary parade,so no excuse for losing any Armagh stars on the day!

The Armagh team of that era certainly under performed on the All Ireland stage from 2003-2009. I would have thought there was more than one All Ireland in them. What is the feeling around Armagh on McGeeney's first year in charge? Largely positive or negative?

I would say negative. A big letdown. He has a lot to do next year in my opinion

Your actually delusional if you think Brogan feigned injury.
He marked far harder and better defenders than Gormley over the years and never took a backward step. He's also still winning All Ireland medals while Gormley is nothing more than a distant memory with a touch of a lingering odour off it.

Let him at it, mate. He'll be telling us the moon landings were faked, the US Government was behind September 11th, and Dublin winning three All-Irelands is a GAA/CIA false flag operation next.

....And that Jack McCaffery is POTY

You really are slow aren't you? He didn't say McCarthy was player of the year. He said that the Sunday game named said he was their player of the year. But sure don't let the truth get in the way if your slagging people off

Player of the Year awards: McCaffrey 1 Jordan 0.

Here's a wee tip, if you are gonna get embroiled in other people's arguments get YOUR facts straight b4 you start with the personal insults

Here's a wee tip for you. Have a look at the original post and see what he said regarding the player of the year, eh?

Tyrone lost to poor Mayo, Derry, Laois, Meath and Down teams, and took two goes to beat a poor Cavan team. That doesn't sound like greatness to me.

Dublin would have put all of those teams away by at least 15 points.

So many other factors involved you dope! Love posters to embarrassed even to state where they are from with these expert opinions.

As Is aid stupid topic, allows idiots to say stupid things

"You dope"

This is great. Tyrone people are fierce easy to wind up with facts.

Nearly as great as yourself for making up facts

McCaffery POTY 

He said was named Sunday game player of the year

2 very good teams but I think Dublin shade it

Why would he retire?

Not saying he would. He's been around a long time and it's a big commitment. I was just wondering 'out loud' to be honest

Wonder will he retire after today or will he hang around and try for 2 in a row. 33 is still brave and young for a keeper mind

Had to laugh when I read a news article a while back about the fact that most German's never heard of this match

Did the British win that one then? 1914 and 1966, a noble record.

Out of curiosity, I have never had the impression that the First World War loomed large in German consciousness, at least compared to Belgium, France and Britain. The Germans had other issues after that.

Well that's exactly the point that more recent historians where trying to make, that it wasnt really a match at all, more of a messin session, nobody won, they werent even competing.

..But thats not what people believe....which is more important that the facts.

....Take Darren Hughes recent attempted take down by the hair, he tried to pass it off as a hair toss via twitter and was largely successful in doing that...but the evidence is right there in a video, most choose to ignore it.

Yup. The evidence is there in the video though certainly not as you portray it

It will be Dublin 3-12 Kerry 1-15

Worry about your own affairs Mayo buckos, your shameful false concern is putting Kerry in the shade, how's Vaughans shoulder

Whats the story with O'Carroll and all the stitches he was supposed to require?
Did he get 12 stitches or not?

I'm sure it was the Sunday game that first mentioned the stitches???

Aidan O'Shea is a fantastic player but he can't do it all on his own. He needs support and he rarely got any on Sunday. Of mayo are to win they need to address this. As a Dublin supporter I hope they don't mind. FWIW, outside if all the shite I thought McMAhon did a good job on Aidan

[The other has keegan and DC grappling each other to the ground after Keegan checked DC with a push, after which DC throws a clear punch, which COC roars at the linesman about.]

Will O'Carroll be back for this match??

How would he be? FFS COC took the head off the poor b**tard with a forearm smash Conor McGregor would have been proud of.

I'd assume so, glass man must surely be able to recover in a week

Did you see the thump that O'Carroll got? It was shown on the Sunday Game. Cillian O'Connor swung his arm back with force as was clear from the way O'Carroll's head went back. Without a doubt that was a red card offence. And no amount of soft-soaping will make it otherwise.

As for Keegan and Connolly the video clip shown on the Sunday Game clearly shows that the first assault was made by Keegan when he to checked Connolly's run. That started a scuffle during which Keegan head locked Connolly and they both fell to the ground. While on the ground Keegan continued to hold Connolly in the headlock.

You do know the difference between a thump and a flailing arm?
There must be an alternate video doing the rounds for these incidents because the ones I've seen have ROC grabbing COC who gestured to the umpire/linesman and accidentally catches ROC.

That's the video is seen as well 

up until the point Connolly threw the punch its should have been a yellow card each, with both of them equally at it.
Connolly's is a nailed on red card, I don't know how anyone can argue different

IMO Keegan should have seen black but Connolly red was the right call, can't see how it could be overturned

I agree with this. I was supporting Dublin and am a big fan of DC but I can't see where an overturning of the red card comes from

Nothing horrendous about that. Disappointing actually, given the suspense beforehand.

He was clearly waving at the umpires and caught him accidentally.

I don't think that's correct but I agree that it was accidental

Actually having watched it a few more times I reckon he may well have a case to answer
