John Allen's column is aboslute muck, and I hope he reads this!

That "citeog side" column last summer was far better...

I have to say I really don't like the Cork psycho-babble, sweeter than sweet, holier than thou bullshit, and Allen is a great practitioner of it...

On the subject of this board, it's gone to f**k. An fear rua is 100 times better, the only advantage this one has is that the lay out is way better and the site is quicker to load than AFR

Cavan / Re: Official Cavan GAA Thread
August 17, 2007, 12:18:13 PM
I know what you're saying lads, my point is that we should be picking fellas who are standing out for their clubs, at every level (then we won't miss a Forde)...

I agree about Declan McKiernan too (saw him in Trench Cup final, he was brilliant), but he's obviously not nearly ready yet.

Like, if we're naming fellas for the future why stop at this year's minors, why not Under 16s?

Also, good point about Gaynor that he came from nowhere, ut it's not as if he came on and won an All Star or somehting, he played a few good games, that was it.

I'm not being critical of your effort BH Man, I'm saying that a lot of those names just have absolutelyt nothing ot offer at county level.

We have enough ordinary players on the county panel.

As Val Andrews once noted, there is a hell of a difference between a good 19 year old and a good 25 year old. I'm totally against throwing 18 year olds in to the senior panel. I think we should leave them with their clubs and let them develop.

In other words, pick the players who do the business with their clubs.

Ballyhaise, what you have just done is complie of list of decent club players. A lot of them don't even stand out for thier clubs very often.


How can you possibly mention the likes of Aaron Duignan, Thomas Brady, Sean Maguire, Fergal slowey, Gavin Duffy, Niall Collins, John McCabe, Terry Hyland, Raymond Galligan, Ryan McCormack, Thomas Leonard, Seamus Clarke or Padraig Cahill as potential county seniors??

Most of these lads are average club players, and almost all of them have played either minor or Under 21 for Cavan in the recent past and not stood out. How could they compete in the Ulster SFC then?

You list Declan McKiernan there - come on, he barely got a kick for the minors against a shite Down team who were knocked out next time out. No way would he be anywhere near county senior standard in my opinion.

A few of thse lads could be worth a shout ofr size and strength eg Declan Gaffney, Michael McDonald but that's the pick of it.

You have Barry Corrigan, he's nearly 30!

The reality is that the best 30 players in the county, give or take a Gaynor here or an Eddie Reilly there, are on the panel.

sorry 5 times, it took me hours but i eventually found the link through google... how silly of me not to post it. I take it you haven't heard of it, which means you're not going, so you weren't my target demographic for this post anyway ;)
