Interesting to see Mc Ginns name brought up again - a much superior prospect to Coney in my opinion. Did we try to keep him who knows? The under 21 management are certainly guilt of disincentivising the lad, whilst the soccor guys in Dungannon were telling Niall he could play accroos the water the uinder 21 management were telling him he wasnt good enough for their team - and I believe they lost 2 all ireland titles for Tyrone in the process. Good luck to Niall he loves his Gaelic but "he was hampered in his progress in it by the wrong people in the wrong job". If Mc Ginn did actually physically sign for good money in England then It would be like the Coney situation if you are good enough to make a profession out of it - fair play, but to lose our greatest attacking prospect to a finacially unstable league with max 2000 a week fans and no sustainable long term future at current income really sticks in my craw.
Wrong people in the wrong job could certaintly apply to his agent. A "Gael" from Tyrone who happens to be chairman of Dungannon Swifts!
Now, tell me, who stood to make out on that transfer to Derry?
