We need to talk about Diarmuid

[JoG2]

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.

Was one of the stand out players in a poor quality Dublin final i think it was said he played U21 with Donegal?

was Connolly not the stand out player as you quite rightly forecast?

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.

[Orchard park]

has played midfield this year for Vincents, dont think in late 20s he would be pulling the trees up at either club or county level

Reports were that Connolly was unlikely to play v Rathnew as he was carrying an injury. In fairness he always seems to tog for the club in football and hurling and gives of his best. The greatest players have had poor games. Give the lad a break. On his day he has been among the best I've seen.

The personalisation of inter-county rivalry through demeaning comments about players, which is often based on gossip and inuendo etc is childish. I don't know Diarmuid Connolly but I'm happy to believe that, while he may have been involved in a stupid drink fuelled incident, he is still a decent lad who made a mistake. I take my cue from Leeroy Keegan who is happy to shake his hand and leave what happens on the field on the field. What happens off the field should be adjudicated properly in the courts of justice and not in the court of public prejudice.

But he isn't.

There's a difference between saying Colm Cavanagh is the best player of a generation and saying Gooch is. All opinions are not created equally.

Connolly's claim has be been more than exposed in the last two or three years when he should have been at his peak.

Definitely the best player in the game for 2 or 3 seasons there. Unmarkable by fair means by anybody.

He's one of the most professional players in this amateur game in other words he doesn't play club or county football unless he his past fit to do so. His scoring yesterday wasn't much different from his last four games 1-1,0-1,0-1 and 0-1 and IMO a player of his ability should be scoring at least 3 or 4 points from play at club level.

There is no moderator on this site, thread should be closed.

There was none either when you called posters ignorant fools or words to that effect. So stop throwing your toys out of the pram when people hold a different opinion to you.

Yeah I stand by it too, there is a cabal of posters with a narrative on this site, it needs balance, unlike McGeaney 100K a year finding its way onto the Kildare balance sheet. You get me..

All you need to do is look at the Joe brolly thread to see what type of posters are on here...
