GAA Rogues

[ONeill]

With Ryan Ricey McMenamin the latest pantomime villain of the month, who in your county had a reputation for dabbling in the dark arts? Who was the wind-up merchant on the field? I believe Joe Brolly was a bit of a talker/kiss blower but wouldn't have been much of a groper.

What was the name of the tyrone corner back who threw james mc cartan's boot into the stand at clones around 1994?

The Hog - he was a bit fo a cult hero in the mid 90's in Tyrone.

Apparently him and McCartan were good mates

I once heard a mate of mine telling me how he had sat in a team meeting before a Sigerson game when he was at college as Johnny McGurk spent almost a hour describing and demonstrating a multitude of ways of taking a man out without the ref seeing it. I played a few games with Johnny and a couple of the other McGurks and they were sound fellas off the field but on the field it was all about winning. The were real "white lien merchants". Once they crossed it anything went. From what they told me the winning mentality had been drummed into them by their father.

Francie Bellew & McGeeney were both specialists at winding/cracking ribs while going for the ball 'fairly'.   Bellew cracked Canavan's in the 2005 ulster final which was why he had to leave the field at half-time.  Great men to have playing for you but god help you if carrying an injury going onto the field.  

[SidelineKick]

Or in Mickey Lindens case God help you if you just go on to the field!

[stephenite]

David Brady would've been a bit of a hate figure within Mayo in the early part of his playing days, not so much panto, or on the sly as he'd generally clock someone who needed to be clocked and not worry too much about who seen it, he seemed to cop on a bit when the red cards started to mount up mind you - I seem to recall him groping John McDermott's arse before a throw ball in the 96 All Ireland final replay.

McDermott loved it.

what kind of football was being taught in your club
We were told NEVER to talk to your opponent, never even acknowledge him once the optional handshake at the start of the match was completed (while shaking the hand, never look at the oponent).
Cant believe you were f**king chatting to brolly (or any player) during a game !


Kildare- Pat flynn/Johnny mcdonald
Kildare/cork - tomkins
Cork - cathalane
Meath - John McEnroe (or was it his brother leo)
Dublin - Paul curran (Fantastic player but unbelieveably dirty - a bit like canavan)
tyrone - I havent got all day to name them...

Shame on you LB, you should always shake hands before a match.
