Liam Watson to Dublin

[orangeman]

If Liam does go, it won't be the first or last time a big named player has jumped the ditch.

As the rich get richer this can only become more prevalent.

It won't be Dublin he goes anyway - I think there are other agendas being pursued here and Dublin was a handy headline

I'd say you're right.

Paper talk I'd say, couldn't see him leave Loughgiel. What's yer thinking on winning an AI with former Laois U21 Sean George (his brother a current Laois U21)? I know was born in Ballymun but left early enough I think.

No issue whatsoever with Sean George - born & grew up in Ballymun, parents bought a cheap house in Laois and lived there for a few years - he moved back to Dublin and now lives and studies in Dublin

What age was he when he moved to Laois heffo?

Developed in Laois

Indeed. ye can't even get double figures to some of your development squad sessions.

maybe they cant be bothered to train because their too found of their drinking sessions
The Laois minor winning teams of 96/97 never fulfilled their potential as were too fond of the high stool

So is this the latest step to try and hand Dublin a hurling All Ireland? All the money, facilities, etc etc etc etc etc haven't been enough so it's time to emulate the time Dublin could actually win titles, let players from outside the county do it for them.
They already have some help from outside counties, they now need a high scoring forward. Liam Watson fits the bill. How long has he lived in Dublin? Maybe he'll tog out in a football game for someone in a reverse of the Seánie Johnson affair.
There's teams around the country trying their best to keep hurling alive, struggling away with nothing but hard work. Then there's Dublin. Handed millions, handed top class coaches at all levels, handed the greatest facilities in Ireland, handed home advantage whenever possible, now handed players they wish for?
I've been saying for years that Dublin are bad for real GAA people, they're making it a joke. They'll finish the game as we know it if somethings not done soon.

what part of Laois is Billy Sheehan from?And remember Micko remember trying to poach Declan Brown(Tipperary)&Declan Quill(Kerry)

Developed in Laois, I'd say it wont be long till you lot have sneaky words in his brothers ear. In fairness they were born in Dublin but it wont be long till your scouts are out poaching youngsters who weren't. It's working okay for your clubs.
Pay them to go to college, line up a nice, cushy job for them afterwards, give their family some free tickets etc to keep them onside and all they'll have to do is declare for the Dubs. You'll be like the strange men heading round in white vans offering kids sweeties to get in with them. GAA kidnappers.

Dublin has scouts?

Young fellas are busy working down these parts. Not like in Dubilan where they can get money off their thieving parents, be they bankers or junkies.

You sir, are a complete baboon! I'm living in Dublin a long time now, but am a 6 county man, your diatribe is just looking for a row. I'd imagine you quite frequently get called 'gobshite' or 'arsehole' but I won't stoop that low.

Please forgive if I've any spelling mistakes, it's taking me a long time to type this!
