[Mid Down Gael]

Was at the QUB V UUJ game there. Its time James Colgan was back on county panel. he marked Charlie Vernon very well. some difference in Colgan than Jack Lynch or joe Ireland, the pairing that Vernon cleaned two weeks ago. Ireland never even got a run out. hear jamie orielly quit the queens squad because he never got on in McKenna cup. thats queens and loughinisland he has quit on in his career and stil only 21. and yeah he starts for Down at present. Time Ross picked the best players in Down.

Who won the game??

UUJ won 1-12 to 1-7. Paul Courtney and Joe OKane got straight reds as did UUJs Nial McKeever. Packie Downey got sent off for two yellows. he played well alongside colgan in midfield.

Yeah McKeever from Antrim got straight red and packie got two yellows.4 in total got the line. ORielly is stil at loughinisland but during 2007 season he quit his club because a selector told him to leave free kicks to the clubs first choice free taker then during a league game with clonduff and he couldnt accept it. he quit for remainder of season, league and championship and returned when the 2007 management stood down.

O' Reilly's attitude, in this instance, smacks of a prima donna who couldn't accept a management decision so he took his ball with him and walked home.  Hopefully Ross doesn't ask him to hit the frees, or even worse tell him not to hit them.

I thought O'Reilly quit Loughinisland that time for a different reason. I heard that a Loughinisland selector questioned O'Reilly's testicular fortitude after they lost to Kilcoo in a League game. It was something along the lines that O'Reilly had a lot of relatives from Kilcoo and that he didn't have the balls to do the damage against them during the game.

[gaahead2008]

o'reilly is a good player, and if he can keep his feet on the ground and not get caught up with the spice boys - he will do well for the county.
it's disappointing to hear that he stepped down from his club because he didnt like the managers, considering that particualar management team included bundy mason - and he's a true gentleman of the gaa.

uuj had a convincing victory today over queens - good to see down lads performing well in this local derby. james colgan is certainly worth a run out with the county.

wee james heading for ballinderry, he's certainly picking up plenty of experience as a manager - i'd say in a season or two he will look to take down!!  eoin and dan will be sure of their place then...:L:L:L

I am 100per cent sure he quit after the clonduff game that year. maybe the above issue was a factor to. relations or no relations, a top player or any player with the correct attitude, should have the balls to perform for your club in every game regardless of the opposition. His brother Ben does so and has a great attitude.
