This Conlon fella must be some player!

Did he play versus Glenavy last week end?

If he's that good why is he not on the county panel...sounds like a guy who is half decent but thinks he's much better than he really is and the guys around him are poor so it makes him stand out a bit from the rest

Sure in that documentary that was made about Silverbridge( very good i may add) he was made out to be the next white hope. But 10,000 pages later and we all know what happened. It just atonises me how he was able to get transfer afer transfer from county to county. But like yourself pints i wouldn't be up to verse on transfer ins and outs (pardon the pun)

A decent footballer, would make most senior teams, but is not the superstar that many see him to be. Poor Bowl is afflicted with the paternal problem of unfulfilled dreams!

Just give him a chance this season to show what a kind of footballer he is, and if he isn't a superstar he wouldn't be the only young player to be given that reputation and fail to make it.

Is granemore playing the nab this weekend???

Was that his da on that documentary?

Mid-board Cup Semi - Harps v Ballyhegan is in Sherry's Field Sunday 12.30pm.

Nippy broke a bone in his elbow in last week's game v MAdden, out for a while.

i think granemore have agreed to play it midweek to suit the nabs ulster commitments. how neighbourly!

twotwo, management had to be changed because last year's management wouldnt take it again, well you know that too!
he must be 22 or 23 now? and yes that was his da on the documentary, with the cursing.
hes a very talented player though probably a little small for county, talent alone doesnt make you a superstar though, you have to have the right attitude to go with it.

Was that not the minor management? Conlon's da would've been over the U-16s.

If that was his da - and i think he was coaching him at the time - then its not hard to se why there'd be a bit lacking

charlie stubbs · February 19, 2009, 06:33:46 PM

yea he 22. he got a brave injury when was about 17/18 who knows how much that held him back??no one thing he would start for the clans anyway

His da wasn't coaching him at the time, fergal reel (if memory serves) was coaching him in the minors at the time, they went to the final and Ciaran missed it due to his injury. Fergal Reel is the same man he wouldnt play for for the last two years.

Ciaran's da, Pat, was coaching the under 16s during the documentary and became famous for all the cursing, roaring and shouting.

(didnt see much wrong with it really myself but there was talk about it at the time - from outside the club)

Pints condones child abuse...

pintsofguinness · February 19, 2009, 07:58:35 PM

Now dont be silly.

doire na raithe · February 19, 2009, 08:02:33 PM

A grown man swearing aggressively at children, for who he has a duty of care towards, is child abuse and you think theres nothing wrong with it.
