GAA Discussion / Re: Kildare v Tyrone & Dubs v Kerry NFL Round 1 on Sat 4th Feb 2012
« on: February 05, 2012, 05:18:26 PM »I thought the ref was very inconsistent throughout the game in terms of his punishment of too many steps. Ignored some whilst penalising players with men hanging out of him.
Consistency isn't one of his strengths: blowing up Mickey Murphy for minor encroachment onto the pitch for a sideline, yet letting a Kildare kick-out be collected without penalty within the semi-circle (stone cold free in).
Matthew Donnelly played well indeed, seems to be settling very assuredly into the grade.
I'm not sure thats a free anymore, seen it happen quite a lot recently without punishment. Might've been done away with when the kickouts where changed

« on: February 01, 2012, 04:31:29 PM »McKenna shouldn't be played in the full back line - very short on pace for that job.
Mc Kenna short on pace, don't know what games you have been attending DuffleKing.I firmly believe this will be Mc Kennas break through year... excellent defender & he can take a score
I dont know if its a lack of pace or not, but I dont think corner back is the best place for him. I think he will develop into a great player, but I think that will be in the half back line not the full back one

banana, fat free strawberry yogurt, orange juice, couple of scoops of porridge oats and some milk makes a handy one for breakfast. I got a hand blender too, 2 seconds under the tap and it clean.

GAA Discussion / Re: McKenna Cup 2012 PowerNI
« on: January 18, 2012, 10:37:54 AM »Free taking from distance is really a thing from the past. The St Marys keeper took at least 5 or 6 free kicks against Armagh on Sunday. Some of them were no more than about 30 yards out. What the hell are forwards doing in training when they can't kick a point from 30 or 40 yards?!
It's time this was done away with. It eats up too much time. I'd say 5+ minutes was wasted with the keeper coming up to take frees. If a forward took that much time, the ball would have been thrown up.
He missed most of them too

Niall plays for Middletown

Stephen Kernan was soloing towards goal yesterday and did a sort Ronaldo feet shuffle to get past the last man. That was the first time I saw anything like that on the gaelic field. Unfortunately he ran out of space to get a shot in, but great skill from Stephen.
I hope you're not talking about the time he went on a solo ran, and then couldnt make up his mind what to do with the last man, went one way, fell the other, and was blew for overcarrying??!
Think that might be what he's talking about! It was a nice bit of skill to go round the man but then he just fell over himself

So can UCC play in Munster championship? mixed replies here.
Not sure, I know combined or divisional sides cant go on to provincial, Dr Crokes are already Kerrys representative and they're only at the semi final stage.

GAA Discussion / Re: Paddy O'Rourke Out!
« on: June 21, 2011, 11:21:57 AM »I agree with you I don't think Geezer is the answer. He's allegedly on too much in Kildare. If he comes to Armagh it will only be when the pot runs dry in Kildare. Time for McAlinden, McGrane and McConville to ride to the rescue.....Everything and I mean every resource and every gaa person in the county should be working from now on getting McGeeney into the Armagh job for next year!!!!!!
Tevez, I think there is a near mythological obsession with McGeeny. He has failed to get Kildare out of Division 2 and I honestly belive they will lose to Dublin next week. Where will that leave McGeeney as this great manager that you so desperately want? It will leave him in exactly the same place as Armagh are right now. Of course they might win but I honestly belive Dublin have too much for them. You have to remember that McGeeney has one excellent championship run behind him, but that came with two bad league campaigns. Also they rode their luck in the championship with an escape against Antrim. They could easily have been the nobody's of 2010.
Sometimes the grass is greener!!!!
McAlinden had his day with the seniors, did a good job and took them as far as he could. Appointing him would be a backward step I think. Also the U21s havent won a game in 2 years under him.
