Slow Friday afternoon with nothing better for doing so feck it....

1. Why your user name
Nickname from school days

2. Favourite all time game
Roscommon v Mayo Connacht final 2001

3. Favourite all time player from your county
Dermot Early

4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com.
Tony Fearon-The voice of moderation, understanding and reason ;D

5. Things you'd like to see change on the site.
Not alot, it's ok as boards go.

6. Player from another county you admire.
Sean Cavanagh

7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not)
Of course they should. If they are good enough then why stop them?

8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs
No!

9. Best Moment of the year?
Roscommon Minor AI win.

10. Worst moment of the year?
Kerrys massacre of Mayo and the comp. rules. Did no good for GAA

11. Breasts or bum?
Bit of both please!

12. Breaking ball or park live?
Breaking ball. Park live (just about alive) is an example of all that is wrong with RTE.

13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs

14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly
DJ, young Kelly has a long way to go before they can be compared.

15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year?
Jesus H Christ to come down and play midfield for us! Failing that some sort of freak of nature wipes out every GAA squad in the country bar Ros and the Kilkenny squads. In a (very) hard fought game Ros prevail with a highly dubious injury time free kick to win by one point.

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy
Hire "Igor" your friendly Russian agent to go for some sushi.....

17. Hopes for 2007.
That we win a few games and maybe make the Connacht final where we put up a half decent performance.

18. Who will win Sam in 2007.
The Dirty Dubs or an injury free Tyrone.

19. Who will win Liam in 2007.
The Cats

20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007.
To get on with all the Mayo lads! ;) (Resolutions are there for breaking right???)

1. The unfortunate truth.
2. Last year's Dublin Tyrone Quarter-Final
3. Ger Cavlan, on he's day a genius
4. ONeil, usually a good mixture of knowledgeable comment and pure nonsense.
5. 3 strikes and you're out for foul, abusive or outwardly sectarian comments
6. The Gooch
7. Yes of course, but they seem to be becoming a thing of the past, with managers insisting players show commitment by choosing
8. N/A
9. My wee cub meeting Sean Cavanagh on the pitch at Casement during the presentation of the McKenna cup. Any mention of it still brings a big involuntary grin to his face
10. Standing in Healy Park in May listening to a group of young Derry gabshites simply laughing out loud at Tyrone's abject performance that day. Had to grip the rail with both hands and keep repeating to myself, don't turn round, for god's sake don't turn around.
11. Either,at my age a glimpse of either is welcome
12. Breaking Ball
13. N/A
14. DJ
15. Pray that all of last years injuries clear up (esp. Brian McGuigan), uncover some cover in relation to scoring forwards and get 1st choices established for key defensive positions (FB and CHB) and defensive/holding midfield position, early in the season.
16. Pressure up the field on delivery and double-tag with a sweeper role if FB is struggling.
17. A long championship season for Tyrone. In Tyrone for the Sigersons to perform on the big days, In Down St. Pauls to adapt to life in Div3
18. Hopefully Tyrone, sneaky feeling for the JOM fairytale in Mayo
19. Kilkenny, on route to 3-in-a-row.
20. To become more involved and post more, currently find it difficult as recently so many of the threads disolve into he-said-she-said drivel so quickly

1. Why your user name

    Was lookin for something random, and saw it on some Latin shit(i think twas Latin) beside me and picked that!

2. Favourite all time game

   Galway v Kilkenny 2005, narrowly edging out the same game in 2001.

3. Favourite all time player from your county

   Joe Cooney - absolute class. Michael Meehan - never seen a more gifted player, won a club All-ireland on his own at 19.
   


4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com.

   Not around long enough to say but easy seperate the good from the bad, alot of the Mayo lads actually impress me.

5. Things you'd like to see change on the site.

    Stupid pathetic comments by a few regular posters only looking for a row.

6. Player from another county you admire.

    Tommy Walsh/Kieran McDonald

7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not)

   Of course they should, its amateur sport!


8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs

  I hope so, have won a Leinster title in the last couple of years so fingers crossed.

9. Best Moment of the year?

   Uuuhh, Potumna/Salthill All Ireland double, bad year otherwise.

10. Worst moment of the year?
   
     Pearse Stadium v Westmeath, Blood pressure was at a very high point that evening.

11. Breasts or bum?
   
    Breasts

12. Breaking ball or park live?

     Breaking Ball, captured what the GAA is about better than Park Live i think.

13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs

     Cork

14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly

     Eoin Kelly, bad team around him.

15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year?

     A midfield, if we win 50% of possession every game wel be hard stopped, backline never been better and still have the class up    front.

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy

     A sweeper looks the best option so far.

17. Hopes for 2007.

    A Galway double.

18. Who will win Sam in 2007.

      Kerry or Tyrone. Hunger will be back for them and if injury free will bw a big threat. Kerry will be close because I think the best way a 2 in a row will be achieved is with a fresh approach, which they now have.

19. Who will win Liam in 2007.

     Galway, great chance now.

20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007.

7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) defo, and the GAA should do more to accomadate them.
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs. If they can manage to bring the young lads onto senior they should be competitive in a few years.

3. Favourite all time player from your county. Noel Marron - he always drew the short starw and had to mark the oppositions' best scorer

9. Best Moment of the year? Hammering Dublin by double scores in the league game in Parnell Park. Monaghan were on fire that day
10. Worst moment of the year? Getting beat by Wexford. Mattie Ford did the damage and he shouldn't even have been playing after what he did in the Offaly game. If he was then suspended for the Fermanagh game what was he doing playing against us???

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy. If you haven't a full back tall enough to compete in the air, let him fetch the ball and nail him when he comes back to earth. Corner backs have to be in position in case he breaks the ball though

Very interesting that it is almost the unanimous view of posters to this thread that they are in favour of dual players and give them great credit.   It appears that GAA journalists are very much out of touch (again) with the views of fans.  They like county Senior Managers constantly knock the idea of dual players.

13. N/A

Post by: J70 on December 02, 2006, 09:06:21 PM
1. Why your user name –  nothing worth repeating!
2. Favourite all time game – 1992 AI final, obviously!
3. Favourite all time player from your county – Tony Boyle
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com. – No one in particular – basically anyone who is willing to partake in an honest, informed discussion. Despite the morons infesting the place at the moment, there are plenty of intelligent posters who contribute. Also, The John Haran Experience posts some great summaries of matches, which I can't get to as an exile.
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. – Get rid of all the juvenile foul-mouth idiots who've joined since the changeover. How the hell did they all find it all of a sudden?!!
6. Player from another county you admire. – Stevie McDonnell – class act!
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) – Why not!
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs – lived in Dublin for years. I knew very few who played or even cared about the game.
9. Best Moment of the year? – For Donegal – the Kavanagh goal against Down – maybe we weren't that bad after all (we went into that game as basic no-hopers)
10. Worst moment of the year? – Throwing away the quarter final to Cork. We'd enough chances to comfortably win two games.
11. Breasts or bum? – Bum.
12. Breaking ball or park live? I've never seen Park Live, so its Breaking Ball I guess (I did like it!).
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs- Lesser of several evils there. Can't choose!
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly. DJ is the greatest!
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? Find another midfielder and get a few of the forwards scoring!
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy – Win midfield, crowd him out, cut off his options once on the ball. Donegal won an All Ireland facing a similar problem with Vinny Murphy, although Dublin's lack of plan B did help!
17. Hopes for 2007. – Even though we're on the same side as Armagh and Tyrone, if we get out of Ballybofey in May (which would indicate some potential), we could cause an upset and win Ulster. Backdoor to the quarters is the most likely. A semi-final would be nice!
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. - Kerry
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. – Kilkenny or Cork!
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007. – That it lasts through its current malaise.

1. Why your user name? Choice of mothers perogative on birth and an obvious statement about my footballing capability
2. Favourite all time game? ? Couldn't pick one.
3. Favourite all time player from your county? Paul Taylor - pity his best had come and gone pre 2001 - 3
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com? ????
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site - I have more to be worrying about
6. Player from another county you admire? so many, at the minute, D Se, B Cullen, C McDonald
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not). yes - not practical in most cases but they should be able if they want
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs.  Yes
9. Best Moment of the year? Probably Mayo Dublin
10. Worst moment of the year? Being generally in the nuetral corner and not getting to see my home county that often (and anyway they were OK this year) nothing happened to get upset about
11. Breasts or bum? breasts
12. Breaking ball or park live? Park live
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs - what a stupid question
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly; When Kelly has achieved as much as DJ then the comparison will be fairer
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? Impossible so let's not waste time
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy/ Stop the ball out the park for starters
17. Hopes for 2007. Plenty of good football
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. Very open. Can't see the drive in Ky, are Cork on a steady upward curve, Donegal likewise. Is O'Mahoney enough of a added factor in Mayo for a team that is really limited enough, Armagh hae an odd mix of very young and very seasoned - could it work or are they still in transition, can Tyrone do anything without Canavan or Galway likewise without Joyce / Donnellan, will proper modern training and tactical planning make Laois serious contenders rather than skillful greyhounds, will Dublin find the 5 players that they need,
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. Kilkenny or Tipp

Neither

15. What your own county needs to do to win Sam next year?
Need to locate a specialist full back and corner backs that are able to contest the high ball. JO'M will take care of everything else  :-\

16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy
Hate the idea but a deep lying centre back maybe sweeping. Hopefully the specialist full back would do.

17. Hopes for 2007.
Mayo winning Sam 2007

Definitely should....I have great memories of players like Teddy McCarthy, Liam Currams, JBM etc performing at the highest level...let them at it.
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs
Níl fhios agam.
9. Best Moment of the year?
Donaghy's goal V Armagh
10. Worst moment of the year?
Sligo.
11. Breasts or bum?
Both
12. Breaking ball or park live?
Breaking Ball was excellent
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly?
DJ
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year?
Find a new full back, centre half back, midfielder and 4 or 5 forwards.
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy?
If I knew that I would be worth  a few quid.....he looks unstoppable at the moment.
17. Hopes for 2007.
That we don't disgrace ourselves like we did last year...I know it sounds negative but that's the position we are in. One score from play in your last championship outing is disgraceful...good luck to Ross and DJ in tying to turn it round.
18. Who will win Sam in 2007.
Kerry again....maybe Tyrone if McGuigan gets fit.
19. Who will win Liam in 2007.
KK
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007.

1. Why your user name?
Local media nickname for my club. References to living beside and 800 yr old abbey (on the crest - see avatar)
2. Favourite all time game?
Mayo Vs Dublin All-Ireland Semi this year. Sitting beside my father and other members of my club about 30 rows back in between the 50 and midfield in the Cusack Stand. Words cant describe the atmosphere. Everyone screaming and baying for blood
3. Favourite all time player from your county?
Toss up between McDonald and David Brady
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com? Id say Barney is always insightful. Most Mayo posters seem to talk sense too.
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site.? Getting rid of the non-gaa discussion board asap and banning those fools who are on the board to cause trouble and stir the shit and who have little or no interest in Gaa and who seem to love and defend soccer
6. Player from another county you admire? Gooch Cooper, Peter Canavan, Maurice Fitzgerald
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not)
Of course they should. They are a credit to the Gaa for mastering more than one sport
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs
9. Best Moment of the year? Mayo taking the hill...
10. Worst moment of the year? Things I noticed in the first few moments of the All-Ireland final that made my heart sink: Most Mayo players hung the head and we didnt even seem to contest things at midfield. Seeing our forwards not loosing their men and seeing our backs giving their men too much room.
11. Breasts or bum?
La femme Derriere
12. Breaking ball or park live? Breaking Ball
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly? DJ
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? Heart and Balls
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy? He doesnt like betting roughed up and seemed to hang the head when Brady dominated him. Also looked way out of his depth and non-existant in the Int Rules because he didnt seem to like the physicality. So do something similar. Perhaps also play a sweeper in front of him like what JOM did in the M Donnelly cup
17. Hopes for 2007. To find and develop some new players in Mayo that can make the cut and build a team and setup that will lead to and All-Ireland next year ofr the year after
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. Tyrone
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. Cork
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007. Not get sucked into any stupid arguments and to keep posts about the Gaa and not get personal.

1. Why your user name - A bit obvious and very unoriginal.
2. Favourite all time game - Leinster minor final 2002
3. Favourite all time player from your county - Was Dessie Barry and Cathal Lee....Paul Barden is fantastic now
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com. Loads of good folks but especially the Longford folks who really know there stuff. Also a special mention to my Cavan friends from across the border whos constant optimism is amazing.
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. - A little bit of stupidity has crept in and the way the odd thread can change from one topic to another on the behest of some is a little annoying. For eaxmple a thread on the best Kerry footballer of all time could very possibly end up being a discussion on why Tyrone and Armagh are better than Kerry....if you get my drift!
6. Player from another county you admire. Aidan O'Mahony
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) Yes, they should be allowed.
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs 
9. Best Moment of the year? Derry Game in Championship...enjoyed Dublin game a lot as well
10. Worst moment of the year? First 10 mins against Kerry
11. Breasts or bum? bum
12. Breaking ball or park live? Breaking Ball .
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? Meath, have a problem with the whole Cork centre of the universe thing.
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly - DJ by a mile a the moment but time will tell
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? A Full back...think we are working on it!
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) No point asking a Longford man!!!
17. Hopes for 2007.  Beat Westmeath in first championship game and we'll take it from there. Avoid bottom 4 position in League
18. Who will win Sam in 2007.  Kerry
19. Who will win Liam in 2007.  Kilkenny
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007.  Spend a little less time on here!!

Post by: thewobbler on December 04, 2006, 02:16:05 PM
1. Why your user name - One of my longstanding nicknames.
2. Favourite all time game - Not too original here, Down vs Derry 1994.
3. Favourite all time player from your county - Greg Blaney, with Barry Breen a close second.
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com. - I'd have a lot of time for the Down hardcore. Outside my own county, I'd rather read stuff from people who can tend to look at the bigger picture. The likes of Hardy, Uladh and BCB1 spring to mind. O'Neill too, when he's not winding.  
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. - Not a lot to be honest. I've no time for things like the Word Association Thread, but that's a small bugbear.
6. Player from another county you admire. - Currently it would be Brian McGuigan. In the past, Ja Fallon and Anthony Tohill.
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) - I'd worry about the sanity of anyone who tries to take both seriously. The best years of your life shouldn't be spent entirely running up and down fields.
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? *question for dubs - To be honest, I don't care.
9. Best Moment of the year? - Beating An Riocht in the play-offs (club stuff)
10. Worst moment of the year? - Sligo. Possibly the worst moment ever in Down GAA.
11. Breasts or bum? - Depends on how it fits on the full package.
12. Breaking ball or park live? - Breaking Ball
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? *question for dubs - Meath. Their team of the late 80s was inspiring.
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly  - Eoin Kelly.
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? - A centre-half back, a midfielder, a settled team and a hefty dose of tactical appreciation.
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy - Destroy Kerry at midfield and cut off the supply. If you do this, it would take a hell of a confident manager to leave Donaghy in the full-forward line.
17. Hopes for 2007. - I'd like to see Down play at Croke Park in the Championship again.
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. - Only Kerry and Tyrone will count.
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. - It's Cork's turn.
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007. - Take things a little less seriously. Humour and all that.

 :) I have done a quick tot on the answers to the question re favourite players from other counties in the 20 questions.  Some have 2 or 3 players in their reply, but just counting those who have named just one favourite player from another county gives some very interesting results.  A total of 6 players have got 3 outright votes or more - Maurice Fitzgerald (6), Declan Browne (4) and 3 votes each for Colm Cooper, Sean Cavanagh, Alan Brogan and Brian McGuigan.   Hard to improve on that Top 6 and I think the result speaks well for the judgment of those who replied.

Post by: Barney on December 08, 2006, 11:09:41 AM
1. Why your user name - Its so long back I cannot even remember. Probably just picked it rushing filling out some internet application.
2. Favourite all time game - Mayo v Dublin is still fresh in the memory. The 1999 Connacht Final was special as was 1996 against Kerry (especially in hindsight)
3. Favourite all time player from your county - Jimmy Nallen is a legend in my eyes. A big Kenny Mortimer fan as well.
4. Favourite other poster on gaaboard.com. - There are some very knowledgeable and passionate Mayo lads on here. Enjoy the craic with Stephenite. Magpie Seanie and Kerry Mike would be in my best of the rest. Basically anybody who knows their football and who is not just a warm weather follower.
5. Things you'd like to see change on the site. - No need for a huge proliferation of threads on all topics. Keep to the point. More contributors from some missing counties. And a bit more hurling.
6. Player from another county you admire. - Declan Browne. He has given so much to his county out of pure passion. It would be easier to walk away.
7. Dual players. Should they be allowed do both (why/ why not) - No. You just cannot balance the two. It would be great if you could but something has to suffer.
8. Dublin Hurling, IS there hope? From my time living in Dublin I reckon there has to be. A lot of work being put in at grassroots.
9. Best Moment of the year? Kevin O'Neills point just before half time against Dublin. You got the feeling it was going to be a special day and that whatever was put up to us that we would respond.
10. Worst moment of the year? First five minutes of the All Ireland Final. Quickly realised that the dream was over just like that after three weeks of dreaming again. Its amazing how quickly you pick yourself up but you have to wonder has our moment passed? Also having to sit through the shite IR game
11. Breasts or bum? Breasts
12. Breaking ball or park live? Breaking Ball. Ger Gilroy is an ignorant little f**ker and is now getting on my nerves on Newtalk. Certainly doesn't doubt himself.
13. (Situation) Cork v Meath (if from Meath Cavan V Dublin) in an All-ireland final. You have to shout for one or your head will explode. What do you do? Phone a friend to clean up the guts!
14. DJ Or Eoin Kelly Eoin Kelly. Pure class in an average team.
15. What  your own county needs to do to win Sam next year? The first step has been taken. We have the best man for the job in JOM however much of a disgrace M&Ms sacking was. Now find three backs and we can compete with anybody. Then a bit of luck.
16. How do you stop (legally, Meath lads) Kieran Donaghy I have a feeling he could be the next Ray Cosgrove and it won't be a problem.
17. Hopes for 2007.It has to be Sam.
18. Who will win Sam in 2007. Tyrone will only win if McGuigan is back. I don't think Kerry or Armagh will and it could be very open. Dublin should win Leinster. Cork could be strong. Mayo can be laughed at but should be close enough. I think the best outside bet is Donegal though. They appear to have a very good manager and with Devenney, McFadden and Cassidy back they can worry alot of good teams.
19. Who will win Liam in 2007. Kilkenny should. Galway is the obvious outside choice with Gerry in charge and I wouldn't rule it out.
20. Your Gaaboard resolution for 2007. To continue the good fight for all that is good in Mayo football and to be nicer (not nice) to Rossies
