Tyrone native Quinn primed for Dubs start
TYRONE native Paddy Quinn could make his competitive debut for Dublin in this Sunday's Bord na Móna O'Byrne Cup clash against Carlow.
Quinn featured for the Dubs in this week's Evening Herald/Dublin Bus Dubs Stars challenge at St Peregrine's and after putting in a solid display could be rewarded with some game time in Dr Cullen Park.
Quinn has been one of Na Fianna's most consistent forwards since joining the club five years ago and last season was instrumental when captaining the St Mobhi Road club to their first Dublin AFL Division 1 title since 1979 when his goal was crucial in their 1-11 to 0-10 victory over St Sylvester's in the final at the end of November.
Dublin will compete in Group B of this year's O'Byrne Cup which will be played on a round-robin format - with games to follow against DCU (Wed, Jan 9) and Wicklow (Sun, Jan 13). The top county in the four groups progresses to the semi-final on January 20.
Wonder will he make the team for Sat 16th March v Tyrone in Croker?
Anyone know him or where he's from?
How long's he living down here and is he any good?
On another note. Did anyone ever see this film. Its very good

Went to school with Paddy (St Pats Academy). He's from Derrylaughan and would be 31 or 32.
Haven't seen him in a few years now so not too sure how long he's down there
A Derrylaughan man indeed. Never played for Tyrone at any level as far as I know but lined out for London for a few years.
At least one of ye has a shot at an AI, aye? :-X
A lot of switching about going on lately, surely more than ever before in the modern era?
I know Paddy well he has been living in Dublin for a while and has been playing for Na Fianna, he always was a key player for Derrylaughan. He is a very dedicated lad and I wish him nothing but good luck!
Scored a goal yesterday !
I thought the dubs didn't play outsiders?

Aha! Many of us suspected they played with themselves all right.

'Naturalised' outsiders who haven't played IC for their home county at any level and who've been playing club football in Dublin for five years would be a different situation to your common garden IC mercenary looking for a few bob.
Is he 31 or 32 though, as mentioned above? That would be a strange age to be coming onto a panel. I may dust off the auld boots. Oh hang on, not 39 or 40?

I would've said late 20's but that's only a guess - can't imagine he'll still be around come the league.

You mean these: (http://www.footy-boots.com/files/2007/05/1830boot.jpg)
Maybe he's a spy?
I thought that too, especially as the Dubs had a Tyrone (Vincents) man/spy in the Dublin background panel the last 3 or 4 years.

Definitely at least 31 - I'd say he'll be 32 before the championship starts this year (if he isn't already)

Was there every any other Tyrone or Uslter lads whi ever played for the Dubs before?
I know MD Macauleys dad is from Donegal but MD was born & raised in Ballyboden.
Will be interesting to see how young Connolly plays this year.
If he gets his tantrums sorted out he could be one of the best players in the game in my eyes.
That is the wrong Michael there fuzzman.
Michael Kennedy on the Dublin backroom team, is a Cranagh man (Glenelly)
LOL
Yes I was only messing STB
I know Mickey well as I've met him several times in Dublin
He's a shrewd man for the Dubs to have

Paddy must have impressed Gavin over pre season. I noticed he's named in first 15 this weekend.
Yeah I was discussing him with a few Dubs that have been to all the games and also a Cork man who saw him in the final.
They all say he's a hard working wing forward but they will be surprised if he makes the championship team.
He must be doing something right to come in over the age of 30 and nail down a starting place
it is a refreshing story and gives hope to 40 year olds everywhere.
he played against us several times throughout the noughties. he was a decent club player then, but u wouldnt have been calling for him to be in the tyrone setup. he must be one of those players who gets better with age. fair play to him.
