GAA Discussion / Re: John Morrison for Cavan
September 15, 2011, 03:07:32 PM
Tried to give a response eariler, but was blocked.

I am not a fan of beefer. I have been coached by Adrain McGuckian, Sean Smith, Eugene Young, Tommy Hall, and beefer is not in the same class.

These guys knew how to put out a team, not just string a long of training drills together. These lads all knew how to motivate a team, and channel their efforts into a winning team. Beefer is full of gimmicks.

He is a self promoter of the highest order. In the past he has claimed he was responsible for johnny Wilkinson's kicking performance in the 2002 world cup, and for discovering Kevin Madden, when he already was a household name due to colleges. WTF

Some of his other innovative stuff is questionable. When Antrim played Cavan in the USFC, he had the Antrim team sitting 5 mins before the game imagining a balloon being slowly inflated between their leg and hand. This was to camly prepared the team, reinforce focus. Meanwhile Cavin are getting pumped up down the corridor. What happened, Cavan had the game won at half time.

He picks up all his stuff from books and repackages it under the john Morrison logo. Even read the anglocelt interview. He is basically saying how great he is. Base on what achievements???

As I have said before. Not a fan

Regarding Antrim lads in Derry schools The list is quite large, from a Maghera perspective:
Sean McAuley & Terance Laverty - Maghera 78 - (TL Capt of Maghera's first MacRory)
Mackle - Moneyglass - Maghera Mac Rory capt
Steven Lynn - John Darragh - Mac Rory and Hogan finalists Maghera (full back and full forward)
Ciaran O'Neill, Nial Lynn Maghera MacRory winners, Ciaran was a VC)
Kevin Bateson - MacRory / Hogan Cup, MacRory Capt Maghera
Owen Docherty, Kevin Brady - MacRory Hogan cups
Michael McCann; MacRory Hogan cups
Charlie Devlin, Brian McCann, Caolin McCann, Adrian Duggan-Tomas McCann, MacRory members
I'm sure there are others;

St Pius Magherafelt
Big Eddy Quinn - Capt All Ireland U16
Oistin McAteer
Current Cargin minor and colleges all-star - I've blocked the name at the moment

Convent
Madden, McLarnons (Enda, Aiden) Eddie McKee, Thomas McCann, Dermot McPeake, John O'Boyle

The list could go on. But Antrim players have no only repersented the Derry schools but have been key leaders in Derry schools. The question is, why have some of these lads not played for the county??
