Horrible to see people spreading rumours about Lee Keegan health.

Amusing seeing Big Dick calling out the Dublin players for snubbing the Aussie Rules team and the players kicking up a fuss.

Whatever why you cut it, the entire Dublin contingent opting out was a snub so they’d be better served to stop telling people piss is rain and expecting them to believe it. No one likes them to begin with but they’re really giving no one any reason not to dislike them with craic like this.

Going off to Australia to play professionals without any players from our best and only professional side was obviously a bad start to say the least.

So who dislikes this Dublin team?  Can understand people not liking certain individuals. This group are class act on and off pitch unlike some of the Dublin players before them who very arrogant off the pitch. FYI none of these players are professional. All have full time job and off course easier for them to train more as all based in Dublin

Clerkin should have done a bit of research before tweeting. League semi/ finals and B championship have been played since county final which ruled out 7/8 key players who would have been unable to make training for Ireland.

A general who served on the frontline in the battle of Omagh.

He did indeed He never backed down from a row but thankfully he overcame his disciplinary issues. If only Connolly could learn from him.

Denis Bastick announced he's hanging up his intercounty boots. I know it's not about Connolly but there's no other place for it.

A unsung hero. Didn't play much in recent years but made big contributions in 2011 & 2013.

Apparently Brian Mullins' son, who plays for Vincent's, has been invited to join the Donegal panel.

Anyone know anything about him? Midfielder I think, which we could use if he's half decent.

Plays wing back or midfield with Vincents. He was on Dublin u21 panel in 2010. They beat Donegal in final that year. He played with Donegal 21s the following year. Don't think he will improve ye.

[I think the story is newsworthy as it brings into question how sorry he really was. I know he's probably following the advice of his legal team but it come across badly.]

Since when did Dublin people get so sensitive? I remember when ye were able to take it as well as give it!

I think Connolly is one of the best players I've ever seen and tremendously enjoy watching him play. I've no axe to grind with him and unlike many non-Dubs have no problem with them winning the AI. This isn't a case of anti-Dub bias or me having a go for the laugh.

All that said - perhaps with an ongoing legal case we should limit what is said here. Might be an idea to lock this thread.

He does come across as bad and I know your post is not anti dub. I just don't think any GAA players should be discussed if there involved in a legal case

I'm sure if you report something to them they'll deal with it appropriately.

I wouldn't have any faith in moderators around here 

[But why is the civil case been discussed on GAA forum??.]

Connolly done wrong and very lucky to get away with this. But why is the civil case been discussed on GAA forum??. Connolly scored 1-1 in a county final and no mention of that.

You serious?

i am serious. The thread has gone completely off topic and some of the stuff has nothing to do with GAA. Is there any moderators on this forum as thread should be closed??

[i]up his own arse[/i]" moment!]

Found the interview by Lyster with Jim Galvin - with Jim Showing off his medals for service a bit of an "[i]up his own arse[/i]" moment! That and the way he danced around questions with the Bertie Ahernesque stutter!

Think your been very harsh on Jim. Is very passionate about his job and is most certainly not not up his own arse.

Connolly done wrong and very lucky to get away with this. But why is the civil case been discussed on GAA forum??. Connolly scored 1-1 in a county final and no mention of that.

Is he not from clare?

From Kerry but supports Clare   

Would they beat Roscommon at pool?

disappointing if no Dubs play. I understand the guys in the county final not playing but why would the others not want to represent their country

Others players have league semi finals coming up so they will rule out majority of starting team from final

FFS Kildare roll over again. All about the €€€€

1995 was the last time we played a home league or Championship game against Dublin.

The fixtures are reversal of last year. Dublin first game last year was Cavan away.
