Do not bite the head off me hear folks but the rumour around our part of the world is that Ciaran McDonald is one! There are a few who played very successfully for Pomeroy over the years as well.

Total horse sh1te, about Mac i mean not commanches playing for pomeroy, used to work with the man , not too many nomads would be seen laying pipes @ 7 on a winters morning.

John Maughan definitely has the head for it, and the name...

What about Mark Ward, or Joe McDonagh ;)

Ciaran McDonald is suppose to be one!

Could apply to the whole Galway team at present - they're certainly all "knackered"!

Complete and utter sh*te! Christ there are some muppets on this board.

Which brings me to an obvious question. Does anyone know any GAA players who are muppets?

Is the Gallaghers from Fermanagh, Cavan or Dublin (Delete and add as appropriate) not travellers?

Were't the Travellers GAA side in Dublin nicked named Naomh Pavee.


FL/MAYO

These was a traveller from Claremorris that was sentenced to play football with the local GAA team a few years back. The judge called him  mallet head and later had to apolgise to him for the slur on his good name. I wonder did he ever show up and do his sentence?
