Sligo V London Connaught C'ship

[Syferus]

I presume Kilcullen is playing with Ballaghdarreen this weekend in the Mayo Senior Championship.

He's a born and bred Roscommon man who plays for a Roscommon club which are Mayo champions, he's the current Mayo club player of the year and he plays for Sligo. It's a wonder the poor lad doesn't turn up at the wrong county's training sessions.

Nice one putting the boot in, though.

Actually that's a good call! Club before adopted county!

A senior intercounty championship match ranks a little higher in importance than a group stage county championship match.

Unless there's ructions we dont know about there's only one place James will be this weekend and it won't be playing club football.

Kilcullen is traveling to london this weekend i am told on sunday morning, i wish him a safe and punctual journey.

Difficult situation for him in fairness, he's played all his life with Ballagh (reigning county champions) so his first loyalty would surely be to them but obviously he's joined up with Sligo this year.

I presume that's the reason for him not starting?

Is murphy a sub?

If he's going why would it be?

Given how Walsh turfed out O'Hara after he couldn't commit to training I doubt he'd have brought in Kilkullen to be a part-time county player when it suited. I'm sure all that was hashed out before he joined up with Sligo.

[macdanger2]

Is there another reason for him not starting?? As far as I'm aware, he started most of Sligo's league games and did fairly well??

at absolutely everything that moves-I suggested she

I think you'll find I'm pretty well informed on that area of the country.

He will be available for both games. Walsh may wait to see him in London before considering him though.

Syferus, Kilcullen played for Mayo and now has chosen to play for Sligo. If he yearns so much to play for Ros he has a funny way of showing it.

Well it seems you don't know as much as you claim about the Mayo champions

Walsh will not be happy, whether he says so in public is another matter. It does show up his decision to drop O'Hara because he couldn't commit early in the season to training but he tolerates James playing (if true) a club match the day before Sligo's first championship match because he's more important to his plans. Very obvious double standards is not a route to a happy camp.

Jez, the lad is in an tough situation. Both fixtures are Championship games! You make it sound like he's playing a reserve match for Ballagh! I'm sure Walsh and Kilcullen have talked from way out about this? If Walsh had a major issue then it would have been discussed and if Kilcullen was going against his wishes, he would not be heading to London the next day? As for the other wish wash, Roscommon was open to him and he did not take it and Finally Ballaghdereen is a Mayo Club, it's ours - tough.... end of!
