The Greats you've seen - Gaaboard Railway Cup

Fergal was a versatile enough footballer, wouldn't have had him down as a keeper though.

DOH!

Of course I meant Damien McCusker!

the t in tbrick stands for thick

It would seem so

Max. 
my midfield would be mc Kenna and Cavanagh and Tohill.  Its a 3 man midfield triangle.

Never saw Dermot Earley play - by all accounts a mighty player. I struggled with the no.3 jersey for ages l, never thought of Quinn and it's a good shout, tried to think of a Leitrim man to put in and I couldn't. I'd be happy to drop Forde for Quinn

Think it's a bit harsh to label Kevin Walshe and Liam as donkeys in fairness!!

You just picked my team Stephenite!!  Quinn for Ford and Tomas Mannion for Enon Gavin are the only two changes I would make to your selection

Gay Sheerin - Roscommon
Kenneth Mortimer - Mayo
Michael Quinn - Leitrim
Tomas Mannion - Galway
Deccie Meehan - Galway
James Nallen - Mayo
Sean Og De Paor - Galway
Kevin Walshe - Galway
Liam McHale - Mayo
Eammon O'Hara - Sligo
Ciaran McDonald - Mayo
Michael Donnellan - Galway
Ja Fallon - Galway
Padraig Joyce - Galway
Tony McManus - Roscommon

Walsh and McHale are well ahead of Willie Joe as orthodox midfielders go.  Yeah, sure Willie could field a ball but jaysus his distribution was brutal at times.  Didn't see enough of Earley to pick hime here.

I think that's more or less the team I would pick. never saw Dermot Earley is his pomp and personally I would rate Walsh and McHale above Willie Joe.

Stephen Joyce from Clonbur is another man who springs to mind...its true great things come in small packages. on his day as good as any who ever played in the maroon and white.

[Puckoon]

its just unusual for lads to be selecting somone for an all time interpro team who's never actually been selected for the province.

Tyrone's Paul Donnelly almost made it on to my Ulster selection. I'm not sure that he ever played for Ulster. I'm convinced that Tyrone would have won the All Ireland Final in 1995 had he not been sitting on the bench for the guts of an hour that day - no better man at laying quality ball into Peter Canavan.

Or laying into wee jamsie!

Perhaps a lesser spotted Ulster team.

DJ Kane; Enda Kilpatrick,Phillip Jordan
Dermot Mc Cabe, Plunkett  Donaghy
Adrian Cush; Martin Mc Hugh; Ronan Carolan
Stevie from Clan Na Gael, Frank Mc Guigan; Nudie Hughes

Im very excited about that forward line,
Cornafean, tell me you meant Cush!
Any half decent Ulster team needs 3 loughshore men within. 
My teams unashamedly inmclude players who shone whilst playing for Ulster and players who contributed to Tyrone domineering inflluence on a golden era for Ulster football over the last quarter century the jubilee players of which will be paraded before each Ulster championship match this year.

Tyrone football: 1984 - 2008
25 years of domineering influence over Ulster football.
(84,86,89,95,96,2001,2003,2007 Ulster champions) 8 from 24, 1/3 of all Ulster titles to this year!
(National Titles, Championship 2003/05; league 2002/03)
and theres still one year left!
