This year the Point have lost Shay Curran (Dundrum) Darragh McMeel (Mayo) Owen Henry (London).

I can count another 7 who are out injured or just coming back from it and I dont mean wee knocks!
Weve been unfortunate this year but as someone said above every team gets injuries !
Dont think the hard ground throughout May/June time wouldve helped

Danny Im talking about 8 and 9 guys out at a time! of course every club gets injuries but the points just seem to be coming one after the other this year!

Not an excuse just an observation! may the best team win come saturday!

see now your turning this into a pointless argument that can never be proven either way puckoon!

would Tyrone won it i 03 or 05 if no would they have without O'Neill, Cavanagh, Mulligan or Dooher??
my point is no one player makes a team. Take Declan Browne for Tipperary or Mattie Forde, undoubtedly fantastic footballers but like everyone else they rely on thir teamates to win games!!

Thats what I mean Puckoon if mcConville had of come along around the same time as guys like Houlihan his haul of medals wouldve been significantly reduced!!

Armagh and Cross were coming good at the right time for him and before anyone says NO they didnt start winning Ulster titles etc just because of Oisin McConville!!

as a Down man I cant believe people are calling for Dan Gordon to get one?

fair enough he had fair game against Tyrone but that was it!!
Against Laois caught 2 or 3 at start then lost midfield to Clancy!

Wexford? we aint even gonna mention that game!!

guys I think deserve them are:
Meehan Galway
Ryan Dublin
Brogan Dublin
Clarke Armagh
O' Se Kerry
O' Mahony Kerry

Think the rest are up for grabs

undoubtedly one of the best Ulster players in recent times!! but to claim he is the greatest ever Ulster player is fetching a bit lads!

His medal haul was significantly added to by the fact he came along at a good time for both Cross and Armagh. Few years before and he would have a lot less, a fact he eludes to in his book.
But fair play to him a cracking footballer, deadly freetaker but as has been said a lot of his big scores were contributed to by frees.

In my opinion guys like Canavan, Mickey Linden and Greg Blaney were better all round footballers who brought more to their teams overall play!

But all the same a sad day to see a great footballer retire!

[You havin been readin the thread much have you, the is a good few people who said they fancied the point to win. It will be a tight match so opinion will be split, but it seems to be even enough as to who every1 fancies. Don't think anyone would be surprised if the point won, as everyone who has commented on it has said how tight a game it will be/quote]

I actually have been reading the forums danny and have to say its only recently few have went with the point even though theyve been going well in Div II.

I think a lot of people semm to basing their opinion on fact the Point were so poor in Div II last year.
This year they are a better team who have been unable to field their best 15 consistently this year due to injuries.

Not too many on here giving the Point a chance for Saturday night!

I believe a few people may be suprised come the weekend ! Im going for the Point by at least 4!!
