International rules

[redhandefender]

It is ok to admit you're wrong once in a while.

I wouldn't hold my breath. He has form for refusing to accept he made a mistake even when shown up. In his world, if he thinks it, it must be so, regardless of anything else.   

..and yet Donnelly wasn't even added at the second chance. What was that about refusing to apologise, trueblue? You're going to now, surely?

Not sure who's winning which argument when the 6ft claiming Mattie is overlooked (read pun or irony if required) by Sean Powter a 5' 8" claiming forward.

I've figured out your error.

What an idiot, Donnelly is 6 foot

Great to see Niall Murphy on the panel.  Strong lad with great accuracy.  He also did a very good job on the county final commentary Shown on YouTube. 

You should be very proud of him Seanie.  Personally I think and hope he will be captain of Sligo this year...

We are very proud of him. A couple of lads pricing flights and hoping to go over to support. There was talk about him since he was 9 or 10 in the club and it's been great to see him develop over the years. Not sure we've had a Sligo captain since the 1930's or so (open to correction) so that would be tremendous also.

I heard him commentating on Harps/Marys and he seems to have done a great job on the county final too. Personally I hope he's playing in it more than commentating on it at least in the next 5-10 years!

Murphy is a class player.

Donnelly 6ft but wasn't overly;y impressive this year ad was no-where to be seen against Dublin, the real problem against the aussies is he lack the pace required, in a way abit like A`O`Shea but hes nearly a 6ft 5in monster under the high ball, Donnelly aint

Dublin players have their priorities right. Contrived nonsense this...

[Rossfan]

There's always 1......

Further to the Mattie Donnelly discussion. A good Gaelic footballer I thought he had a poor game the last time he played. Maybe the game doesn't suit him and Big Joe sees that.

Not my error (and I would own up to one if I made one). Cork GAA site profiles Powter as a forward which is where he played in the U-21s v Mayo

Given he played as a back for the seniors and is being treated as one for the international rules, it isn't me that's clutching at straws here.

Great to see young Grimley make the panel. He has improved exponentially over the last two years. I hope the upward trajectory continues. Armagh need it badly.

You might be giving the Laois men  false hope there on Zach Tuohy by omitting his Geelong allegiance! He was outstanding for them this year.

I enjoy the compromised rules, but delighted the Derry men are being held back for the Div 3 campaign
