Looking for 1 home ticket for the copenhagen match next week if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Colm said this refering to the 'soft' nature of the incident. I think he was 100% correct in doing so and said it with no mallice towards any sexual orientation. Anyone who is offended with this is a fool. Why do people of other sexual orientations think everything is aimed or jibbed towards them? David Geough also needs to question himself over the comments that he made. Catch yourself on and grow up for gods sake

Thanks for the replies men. Also, would anyone have any contact details for GAA men over in the states i.e emails or phone numbers?
Thanks

Hi Guys...
So basically I'm 23 years of age and play for my local club back home in Donegal. We are intermediate standard and I've been playing at this level for the past 6 years and would count myself a fairly decent player. I would like to go to the states this summer to play football and have been speaking to lads in the past who said that they have gone out and really enjoyed themselves. The club paid for their flights, put them up in a house and got them sorted with a job in exchange for them representing the club. I'm just looking to know where are the best places to go and how do you go about contacting someone about this?.. All help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S I understand I am not a county star, and far from it, but do these clubs in the states want players like myself?
Thank you in advanced

What positions do we think we are lacking in currently on the panel?

I think Rory Brennan and McNamee are nailed on in the full back line now after they performed really well last year but I think we need more reliable man markers here in addition to them. Hampsey needs to get back to fitness and I think he will generally slot in wherever we need a man marking job done - similar to Conor Gormley in his day. The likes of Eoghan Murray, Niall Kelly and Conall Grimes might be worth a look here.

I think 6 is a gaping hole in our team, we conceded an enormous amount of goals from players running through us at the middle last year, we need to position a player there who is an intelligent player with good positional sense - there are currently no standout players for this spot in our current panel. Possibly Michael O'Neill from Ardboe but he's more likely another attacking half back

Not sure if Colm Cavanagh will come back this year, he's definitely in decline but I still feel that he would have something to offer as an impact sub in helping us close out games with his experience and aerial ability. I'd expect Con Kilpatrick is a cert for a call up and Paudie McNulty may also be in line for a call up.

I think our half forward line let us down badly in terms of scores last year, Sludden had a really poor year and Peter Harte had some periods of good form in the league but he really failed to get going in the Championship. I think we need a dynamic scoring wing forward who is good for chipping in with a few scores consistently. Meyler and McGeary get through a lot of work for us in that area but neither impact the scoreboard enough. Cassidy and Burns did well on the scoring front from the HB line last year but I think they are better coming from deep. I can't think of too many standout choices here - maybe Mulgrew will get a break with injuries and push on this season. Ryan Gray has had a good year for Trillick and I like what I saw of Nathan Donnelly a few years back with Killyclogher.

The FF line has been massively aided by McShane's peformances last season, we have plenty of talented forwards in there who can play as a foil off of him - McCurry, McAliskey, Bradley, Brennan (if he returns) and other younger players around the county like Canavan, T Quinn, E McNabb but the modern game doesn't really suit these guys playing inside. I think we need to find more physical players as an alternative to McShane in case he is unavailable as he is absolutely vital to our plans. I think Moy's Ryan Coleman is certainly worth a look in this regard. I also think Paul Donaghy is worth a look at in terms of partnering McShane inside, he's a big lad and he knows where the posts are. ]

I'd be looking to leave both M Donnelly and P Harte inside as much as possible next year. I thought both their best form last year came when they were playing inside, Harte had a few brilliant games in the league when we was inside, he was MOTM in the league game against Monaghan and scored fairly well. Donnelly also had his best games inside, the league match with Dublin and Super 8s tie with Cork sticking out.

I'd hope there's a bit of a cull in some of the fringe players, there's quite a few there for a while now who have not broken in. Wouldn't mind seeing Coney get 3 or 4 successive starts at 11 in the league to see if he's up to it. He gives us something different than what we already have there.
