International Rules 2010/2011

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.

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.

You are spot on, that craic with Kavanagh and Canty when unpunished really.  Bit of a joke how Galvins was blown up in comparison.

Watched some of that link on youtube and the conclusion is that Sean MArty Lockhart has to be the tightest bastid ever to play for Ireland, McGeeney a close second, lockhart bust one of the aussies noses ffs

Actually a little surprised but pleased for big Sean making the squad, in fairness he possibly  wouldnt have made it based on his intercounty performances this last while, Id have thought Joe and Justin in there, but maybe training for this has brought him back into form and he has raised his game - if that is the case and the appetite is back for the gaelic next year then this rubbish will have actually done some good.

Does anyone know if Jamie O'Reilly of Richmond (and Down)  was considered for trials?

I never knew the media refereed a game or imposed disciplinary sanctions on players. I thought that was the respective responsibility of the match officials and the CCCC. Now I am led to believe that some of the dimwits that work in the media are also in charge of the international rules series and Kerry players, still nourishing their past grievances with the media, refuse to make themselves available for the Intl series.
It all makes perfect sense.

Do you want to know how?

[laceer]

Yes

Looks like a strong Irish panel on paper. Lot of strong physical players who shouldn't be bullied by the Aussies. Should be plenty pf running in the team to. Going to be an interesting couple of games. I see judging by the bookies odds that they give Ireland a real chance and obviously don't think they have no chance against the professionals.

[Jinxy]

Yes

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.

Canty was injured for much of the year, Shields could be playing in thte county senior  final
the day after the first test, they want to play for their country.

But for Kerry players club commitments is just an excuse, their county final is on today 6 days before the test and how many county players are playing? And its the same excuse they used to get out of playing in the charity match last year, which cost GOAL thousands of euros.
Just shows the contempt they have for the rest of the country. This Tohill business is just another excuse.
Its a disgrace a team of Kerrys ability dont want to help their country win.
