Coulter was speaking to the Irish News after Sunday`s fiasco which saw the compromise rules game descend into a violent brawl.

The Mayobridge clubman has now added his voice to the chorus of those calling for the series to be abandoned.

"I think they should call it off. I`ll not be back near it," said Coulter.

Sure he quit down a few times in the recent past too.

Don't think he thinks much through

thats was days after the horrendous challenge on him.

he later retracted this sentiment based on how much he loved to play this game and represent his country.

Probably should have asked him before he played in the 2008 series? Just as well he did play too as he got two goals and a over to help Ireland win the series.

Bit of a cheap shot.

Three minutes and 10 seconds in, shocking high hit on Coulter. Would make anyone think twice about playing it.

That's you assuming anyone cares whther any of them take part in this farce

Kieran Donaghy playing in the Kerry County final this weekend with a chance of becoming next year's Kerry Captain, he has his priorities right. Many of the other Kerry players did not make themselves available due to Tohill sticking the media knife into Paul Galvin. And lots of others have been involved in Kerry clubs games recently too, strange to have no current Kerry players but sin e.

Anyway I wish the Irish team well, will be good to see how much more Tommy Walsh has bulked up.

Dont think much of the international rules series Mike and totally understand a player prioritise a county final etc ahead of it but bad form if the Kerry lads didnt make themselves available solely based on Tohill's comments. He called it like it was that day and is a much more intelligent and honest analyst than some of the others.

Well there is 21 pages on it here already, people have been asking for ages about the squad etc. The stadiums will have thousands of people watching, even more will be watching live on tv.

Need I go on?

He did call it like it was and Galvin deserved some form of suspenision but the mass media hysteria after this game against Paul Galvin was unprecedented, there were plenty of other bad things in that game by both teams not picked up on by the media, the worst being Derek Kavanagh trottling the Gooch that got no coverage at all and no suspension and that rankles with alot of Kerry people and I am sure some Kerry players. Anyone remember Graham Canty's first act coming on the field, he made straight for Galvin and laid into him, these things aren't easily forgotten in Kerry v Cork games, and if Kerry players dont want to make themselves available for a mickey mouse competition and they take a stand fair play to them.

It will be interesting to see if Tohill will drop any players who get caught in off the ball stuff v the Aussies.

not in any way relevant to the perceived slight on all things Kerry, but you're right, it would be interesting.

[ballinaman]

Any word why Pearce Hanley isn't involved? Just not selected?injured?not arsed?

[The Subbie]

Sitting here in Sydney havin a schooner looking @ d sports channel d Aussies are flat out training with d round ball,Matt malthouse just on saying he's going 4 a passing fast game,we shall see Matt we shall see,now have 2 go and explain again that the Irish team is totally amateur.
