Martin should take the blinkers off when commentating on Mayo ad Donegall games.

He's too close and therefore not objective.

Carney was so bad on the commentary today.Surely RTE can get neutral co-commentator for games.Its either Carney/McStay for televised games,need neurtral co-commentator for final someone like Colm O'Rourke

[spend the kind of money]

On the strength & conditioning issue, what is the background of the Kildare S&C coach? I know Seanie thought so highly of her, he cited her as one of the reasons for going to Kildare.

Given that Dublin moved away from power to their current approach in late 2009, what are Kildare at with their S&C?

I would have thought Dublin just had better footballers but when you spend the kind of money Dublin do on poaching trainers DCU and even lifestyle coaches you might as while try and justify it.

I'd say McGeeney,Jason Ryan&Seanie Johnston weren't cheap

O'Brien named on the bench, niggle during the week probably cost him his starting jersey.

Good to see Cormac Costello on the bench. Gavin obviously has some trust in him despite him being injured throughout the league.

Supple, Bastick, Carty, Cullen, Devereux, Fitzsimons, McMahon, O'Gara and Rock are the other Dubs subs named

that a strong bench and still have Alan Brogan,Nolan and McManamon to come back. Is Emmet O'Conghaile still on panel?

Still has so much to offer as a player and was wanted very much by the new mgt but he felt the time was right.

Top class player since 2002 (I don't remember featuring at senior level in 2001 as per the article)

The only time I remember him getting skint was by Dessie Dolan in 2004

Very modest fella - best of luck in retirement.

he made his championship/league debut in 2002,played O'Byrne Cup in late 2011 when O'Byrne Cup used to be played before Christmas

Our 1st team plays in Junior B and second team in Junior C.the second team would be ideal to start with as the standard isnt too high

Ewan McKenna (renowned blogger) also plays for the second team if anyone wanted to give him a slap in training.

correct plays corner forward for our seconds

got 138 in Ulster one

got 129.Trevor Giles cost me a couple points

Our 1st team plays in Junior B and second team in Junior C.the second team would be ideal to start with as the standard isnt too high

first team is in Division 6 and second team 10 south
