Billy O'Farrell. A Laois man now Longford's manager.
Billy O'Loughlin you mean.


Apols - yes. My mistake.

I don't know much about him - but I think it's better to get a young lad, hopefully, on the way up, than a serial manager on the way down.

A nephew of Luke Dempsey.

Former Mayo footballer Aidan Kilcoyne is part of the backroom team  - coach I think.

Kilcoyne is goalkeeper coach. I thought he mostly played outfield? I know played with Knockmore in goal towards end of his career .

Was the main scoring forward on the Mayo 2006 U21 All Ireland winning team. Played a few years as a forward for Mayo seniors. A serious knee injury finished his outfield career in 2013.

He got a good run with Mayo in 09. Remember him getting a couple goals.

Serious contributor to Dublin football success. What a career! The most influential Gaelic Football player in GAA history to never win an all star - Discuss! 

Was in running for All Star in 2016 but had a poor final against Mayo..Was very influential  in first half in the replay.

Kevy Mc - Dublin.

12 Seasons
11 Leinsters
8 All Irelands

The goal that turned out to be so decisive vs Kerry in the 2011 Final when 4 points down. A massive score in the history of Dublin football.
The goal vs Kerry in the 2013 Semi Final.
How many of the all ireland years would he have been a starter?

Kevin started 2016 final and replay. All other AI final appearances were from bench.

What is up with Kelly? Long time missing. Gary Brennan handy hurler too.

I hope the McGraths do their double.

Tony got operation on ankle week before county semi final. Won't  be back until next year.

That's as dirty Joe smack you'll see!
Should been a straight red.  The St Eunan no 5 non stop sledging through out the game.

So sticking your elbow into his chin has certainly showed him!

I think he elbowed 12. He pushed 5 to the ground . I wouldn't blame if he decked him.

Elbowed the no 12 surely.. How was that a yellow??! Mad call by the ref

Agree should straight red. Could of done serious damage with elbow.

Was he originally from Co Fermanagh, or am I mixing him up with some other old footballing legend?

His son Terry played for Meath in late 90s.

Well I suppose people don't want it on a gaa thread, but what if he knocked someone down 6 times over the limit,

I wonder on what grounds he is appealing the ban? He was caught in Kildare a couple years too but got off on a technicality.
