I hav to be honest, the amount of ball that Martin O'Rouke gets is unbelievable....It still early days yet so a few other player like, stephen Kernan, G Loughran, G O'Neill, F Mo, Toner, Donaghy, Lavery, B mallon could force there way in, so lots of competition for places....

tellin u know, John Mac wil be bac in the squad, watch the space

[Imposerous]

Clearly being very premature here, but I have chosen the following team based on who I think may be the 15 best players in those positions come champo time, provided some of them develop as I hope.

1. C Mc Kinney
2. A Mallon
3. K Toner
4. P McKeown
5. A Kernan
6. K Mc Keever
7. P Duffy
8. J Lavery      
9. P Mc Grane
10. C Vernon
11. M O'Rourke
12. T Kernan
13. S Mc Donnell
14. R Clarke
15. P Toal

Whys that Candyman? Is he out on a long term injury? or what is the score?

[Candyman]

He broke the leg months ago playing soccer 
It wasn't healing properly and he had to have an operation and have pins inserted in the leg!!! he'll not be ready to train for a while yet (i dont think) and then he has to get match fit after that???

9. McGrane
10. Martin O Rourke
11. McDonnell
12. Vernon
13. T Kernan
14. Clarke
15. McConville

Alternatively I could see McConville being sprung from the bench with B Mallon starting...

still early days and I would imagine competition for places will be immense. would love to see p Mckeown make a real push for the number 4 slot.

like the look of ur team qub.........jus hope boys like vernon and lavery can raise the bar this yr, saying that they are not newbies anymore....boys interestin lookin at these selections, are we rulin out McNulty now completely?? the fact that we cannot agree on a starting 15 for me is a good thing, shows that there is lots a compeetion for places...it would be worse if the startin 15 picked itself

imo i think  mcnulty is slightly passed it, a great servant to the cause and hopefully he could prove me wrong but i feel he best serves the county's needs as a role model to younger lads on the panel and more so as a coach than a championship player.

Noticed something about Enda yesterday that would make him a certain championship starter for me despite the fact he is probably past his best. He is constantly talking to the players around him, giving encouragement, telling them where they should be for kick outs etc. This leadership is invaluable to the younger boys around him. He has to be in the team this year especially with the absence of Geezer's leadership.

[altovito]

I would like to wish gareth symth all the best for Sunday, here is a player who has worked so hard at club level and has final got his chance for the county.  He has been outstanding for St Marys this past 4 yrs and i am sure he will make the most of his chance on sun

r u the mrs gareth smyth to be?

[asitis]

I noticed that too. Both Enda and Aidan did the same in the McKenna cup. Good to see that.

[armaghniac]

McNulty's waistline presently somewhat resembles my own, but he will be off the biscuits for Lent and will be in better shape as the season goes on. There will be younger legs around, but not the experience.
