bellew no complaints, cassidy is a horse but doesnt use it enough.
def not the rest. mcmenamin actually described himself as "a nasty wee c*+t on the field" in an interview.
he is dity and he openly admitted it, thats not being hard.

is it on the go in easons or anywhere around dublin.
to be fair as i stated before there is only so much you can do at this time of year.
plus there is such a concentration on football in ulster the general public dont pay as much heed to the other codes.

yeah but unfortunately mac they have to have a blanket rule so the likes of pats and trinity who are not powers suffer.

im sure you see the point.

in kildare they had nui maynooth in the u-21s for a while but how could a rural parish like mine compete with a team full of county minors and 21s. it was a joke. alan brigan and alan dillon on the go!

yea
ciaran mcdonald and mcdonnel are adidas too along with a few more
ciaran whelan munnelly dessie dolan and sheff are all puma
byron and enda murphy have glove deals

fair play i say.

decent aul show and was good light entertainment.
those boys are just pure natural, they could put their hand to any game and excell.

i do get annoyed though at times when some media heads practically profess undying love for them. not their fault and all the better they kept their feet on the ground. good ambassadors for the country all 3.

the cantebury stuff is called armour but as far as i can tell there is no paddin.
if we went down that route lads would be goin out with the rugbytech shoulder pads and the likes.
there is some stuff that is slightly padded coz i remember seeing clancy of laois in a magazine ad for it.
it has become a fashion thing with loads of our minors gone out to buy the black cantebury ones to match the jerseys i hear.

i see o'neills have some too in arnotts.
its hardly armour mind more insulating. was thinkin of gettin some for training where they would keep the muscles warm and stop you pulling anything. the lycra shorts were the same idea for lads with bad hammies.
dont see too much need for the armour in matches unless its bitter cold.

just seeing as this is on the non GAA board and the lads got a slatin for leavin it armagh only lets make it nationwide.
now these are the proper hardy hoors not sneaky dig merchants.

as a lilywhite in the early 90's we had the likes of davey datlon and sos who had little regard for their bodies when lining out for kildare. although still think big paddy o'donoghue was hard to beat. ive seen him turn lads literally upside down with a shoulder.

so nominate away lads

the council are clearly telling setanta taht if they give the name it will be sorted as is everyone else on this board.

i cant understand this at all. if someone from your club was responsible for basically ruining your entire year they should be hung out to dry if they dont have the balls to own up.

what kind of rececption is this man gettin as he lands into the local! he's hardly a hero

it drives me mad when ya go out one day and the ref has no problem with you letting the ball roll up your arms and the next day you get blown.
i feel it should be allowed if the ball has sufficient pace. all the same id like the ref to actually tell the players his stance on the issue before the games.

its only an idle threat. seeing as they are getting paid a shitload they wouldnt want to rile HQ too much.
at the same time they should be on the sideline but i think there is a huge problem at club level and that should be looked at. we all see it where there are twenty 'mentors' on the sideline.

jaysus lads there is obviously goin to be a few mistakes with a new publication.
it seems there is a bit of nit-pickin going on. if anyone went through any national paper you'd see a load of basic errors.
i havent seen it but if a few typos are the only flaw and the articles are good well then fair play.

they should scrap the u-21s. the lads at that age are gettin loads of football as it is but apart from that in my club we really couldnt compete if we didnt let minors play. thats done in leixlip but they can field 3 seperate panels where we have to overlap.

its up to the individual case for the club to respect their players.

fairly brave launching at this time of year as was said not much to write about.
as a leinster man it would be good if they had a bit from other provinces, likle a little round up.
i havent seen it but at least they are advertising. the gaa seem to presume things will just promote itself. its kind of poxy to walk in to easons and see loads of specialist sports mags and only one or two gaa ones, none up till now were weekly.
but if it goes well surely they would look at a leinster market where there is more hype and revenue available.

well done, as i said i havent seen it but its about time that a weekly mag came out.

that was brought up at a meeting a few yaers ago by on eof the younger lads and it was shot down.

dont think its worth the hassle but its a shame when there is a rural parish with a great minor team and you see two young lads like keith cribben and graven in midfield and then they go their seperate ways for adult football.

i know most of the younger lads wouldnt mind.

but ill leave it, we are movin away from the point of the thread.

yea lyncher it was balyna but we only had one clogh. he was a good one mind!
