You could make a whole team based on Antrim hurlers

No dublin all-stars

probably fair enough - a reflection on how good a TEAM they are

Que Sera

When I was just a little boy
I asked my mother what would I be?
Will I be Queens? Will I be Poly?
Heres what she said to me

Wash your mouth out son
And go get your father's gun
And we'll shoot some Poly scum

Que Sera Sera

cant believe people persist in picking Canty at full back. It must be that McCloy wasnt seen cause of the lack of TV coverage of Derry games this year

Did some big string of p*ss not give Mc Cloy a rough enough time against Mayo in Celtic Park this year.

Your man Barry Moran? Not really - he scored a good point and got a soft goal (the ball bounced off barry gillis' chest when he should have made an easy catch - big man tapped it in). No more trouble than any of these big target men cause these days - mccloy would be up for them physically

Actually the Derry full back line (Sean marty, mccloy, mcgoldrick) was very solid that day - especially in the 2nd half

ziggy, what is a WUM poster and a OWCer poster? im not up 2 speed on these abbreviations FFS!!

Been on the BBC NI website and compared their coverage of this to their report on the all-ireland. Needless to say anything negative about the GAA gets twice the column and headlne, as well as a video report (none for all-ireland day of course). The BBC sports department are disgraceful in their bias and balls to their license fee

Do you not think Mc Conville went to them with this story, as he has an autobiography coming out?

Aye fair enough but look at their website coverage of the biggest day in Irish sport! Now check out their football column on 'Blues face Reds in Shield Clash'. thats right its longer. How many people will be there to cheer on this shield clash - 400?.

I know this is nothing to do with Oisin and the gambling but it is shocking bias - you can only conclude that they are purposefully ignoring the popularity of the GAA because those in certain postions of the BBC are anti-gaa.

Couple this with the full TV report of the fermanagh fella who recieved sectarian abuse on the pitch AND the incredible amount of money and time ploughed into snaring Gerard Cavlan - and you have an anti-gaa agenda in the BBC

against better forwards too

Did Derry play Kerry?

Nooo. But on the balance he played on tougher forwards (and teams) throughout the season. And looked fantastic each time. Canty had an easier ride of it - though Shane Lennon gave him a tough time - except when they faced Kerry in the final where he got annihilated.

Anyway he put in far more impressive displays than any other full back (though Fay would run him closer than Canty) and I can't believe he didnt get the full back spot on The Sunday Game team of the year. Tony Davis has the biggest pair of rose tinted glasses in Ireland

whiskeysteve...

from a weak club( not meant to be insulting, because they are putting in a massive effort and need all our support

whats patronising in what i said....ok I got it wrong, ye are a very strong club who always have played senior football with lots of senior championships...is that what ye wanted me to say. FFs ye cant win, try to be courteous to a club and some tool takes its personally.

Pardon me max i didnt take it personally at all - should have put in a smiley face or sumthin

Just saying that because a club is weak at senior does not mean its underage players are playing at a weak standard (with the better players running riot on easy opposition, picking up bad habits that are found out later). Steelstown for example, consigned in their last league game to division4, yet have arguably the best minor set up in the county. Glenullin on the other hand have had very poor results at minor level this year, for such a good senior club, and havent had great minors for a few years now.

The point is, I'd bet that if declan was a Glenullin man, you wouldnt have said he's picking up bad habits from a weak set-up in the first place

Max as regards mullan his performance in the final would not be indictative as to how he normally plays or played for that minor team. The games he had against Laios and Tyrone would be more like him, scoring a few points from play, winning dirty ball (he was the best tackler in the forwards this year), and making those runs where he'd usually be breaking free. He didn't play to his potential in the final, hes a young lad and wouldnt be the first

As for coming from a weak club, sure our minors play at the same level as yours (we actually beat yous 3-11 to 2-5, this year, minus Declan) so dont give us your patronising guff!

to be honest Monaghans run this year reminded me of Fermanaghs in 2004, they caught out bigger teams who werent expecting such driven displays. Remember that Fermanagh went out very early the following year - after a revenge hammering from armagh. Their tactics were found out as well

Next year Monaghan may find it a lot tougher from the big guns
