Yes , type his name into youtube or Twitter and you'll see his highlights from the weekend , he kicked 0-12 in 30 mins against London , won them the game essentially kicking off both feet from play. Could cause antrim real headache

Found it on Twitter there, brilliant scores and he's still a young lad! I'd put James on him. In my opinion he's the best man marker we have.

KK like him or not is without doubt our go to man marker

belfastsaff

no but i watched antrim vs longford and i seen enough from James to know he is not capable of marking barry mcnulty. Also watched him last year vs sarsfields and moneyglass and his marking qualities weren't up to scratch then.

Keenan our best man marker imo

As a footballer, KK is easily our best man marker, by a stretch. He was moved on to No 15 last weekend and wiped him out. Prior to that McAuley was on him and 15 was scoring for fun. Keenan is fast, strong, aggressive and  uncompromising, he is just what is needed in a full back player in this new game.

Have to agree with above , KK best we have for a man marking job in full back line , will he have enough to stop him , who knows but nobody i think would do as good a job

Gives away too many frees is my concern

If you are competetive and aggressive frees will be part of the game. You wont give too many frees away 5 yards off your man

Regarding KK, I felt he was wasted a bit in the FB line. I get that they probably want him as one of the 3 men back as his speed will be useful in transitions if the ball is moved forward quickly but I think his energy would have been good on further up the pitch too. Suppose the management have to balance it out but I think back to before the new rules and he could have an impact on both sides of the ball.

Round or stuffed

Quote from: Saffsof82 on February 18, 2026, 08:22:50 PMUlster Gaa run coaching courses steady but if you look into it Antrim have fewer qualified level 2 coaches than any other ulster county,  and only 3 level three coaches I believe , our lack of take up of coach development at club level is depressing compared to our neighbours

There is no such thing as a level 3 coach in the GAA, Award 2 is the highest level accreditation a coach can achieve, ulster GAA ran a diploma a number of year ago but it was limited in capacity so I don't imagine too many counties have many more than 2 or 3 who ever completed it

Not sure about this , think he has ideal characteristics for a corner back , pacey strong and physical great for coming out of full back line , some of our lads further up the pitch would not have his marking capabilities nor his agression , he also can get opportunities to get forward driving with ball

Would ye whist

He'll be a great addition to the prison team, actually can't believe the county is willing to turn a blind eye to what he has done and furthermore can't believe Glenravel men are willing to sit in a changing room with him and call him a team 'mate'

Hard agree on this, the man may get rehabilitated etc but a bit of sense would say he should be sitting out at the minute.

When is his case being heard? I just googled it and it says 6 Feb. I assume it's delayed?

Commentary on Ocean Fm is quite entertaining "the referee is just cat" and "the scoreboard is all over the place" being two gems.
