How is it that Cork can accomodate dual players and some think Cavan shouldn't?

Because the games the Cork players play will not conflict with each other and they wont play one game and then head off.

I assume it has to do with availability.

No Terry Coyle I'm not a Mullahorn supporter I just rate Brady as a very good footballer. If he wasnt a stand out perfromer last Saturday (apart from his shooting) then who was?.We as a county arent blessed with an anbundance of top quality players so the few we do have should be accomodated. Yes he has stated that handball comes first so everybody knows the situation. At least he wants to play for his county.

[Celt_Man]

Givney was Cavan's stand out performer followed by Nesty.. then the rest were a fair bit off

[Terry Coyle]

Celt_man got in ahead of me! Those two were the only ones. The man he was on was dropping deep the whole first half - Brady should have punished that and didnt. He is not a top class player that we cant do without. And before you go a rant he is worth his place when totally committed.

I am not even going to comment at your petty attempt to rise me saying at least he wants to play for his county.

Looking like another year of disappoiontment at seniior county level so. Whos to blame who knows. somebody was saying on another thread that we have enough players to at least be that match of, better than the likes of Sligo, Louth, Tipp or whoever else will put a decent run together this year. They went on to suggest that where we seem to differ is that we haven't got a solid core of lads that have been brought in, persevered with and give a bit of consistency to the line up year on year. got me thinking of not that many years ago when were being competitive under val andrews and Eamon Coleman, the number of lads who were playing well for the county in those times and didn't really fully realise their potential/chucked it in etc. etc. theres a fairly long list without being complete:

James Reilly, Rory Donohoe, Rabbitte, Brides (still around but not the same player I'm afraid), Eamon Reilly, Collins, Crotty, Gaynor, Pauric Reilly (hasn't really delivered), Paddy Brady, Pierson, Sean Brady, Lyng, John Tierney, Joey Jordan, Crowe etc. etc. You coulld throw in the likes of Hannon and McKeever who were playing good football for the county when they were youngsters and seem to have gone off the boil.

County our size can't afford to be letting so many slip away. Imagine if just the following had delivered on their potential/stayed injury free and lined out last weekend-Rabbitte, Gaynor, Lyng, Pierson.


The real worry I would have is that in three years time we might be adding the likes of Givney and Cullivan to that list.

We can't afford to lose players like Cullivan, players like him are what we should be building the future on. I heard rumours that he left the panel because Carr was being dictated to by senior players on who should be playing and what tactics are employed. This is no real suprise, Carr comes across as a weak willed man who has never had much success in any county.

Seanie Johnston was the main name mentioned. In my view it is irrlevent if Johnston is one of our top players or not, there is no way player should be dictating how ball is directed to him or who should play. So many problems, just another to add to the list.

I can't face the embarrassment of  being knocked about Wicklow two years running. They also beat us in the league last year.

FM
We havent played wicklow in the league since Donal Keoghan was over us when we beat them comfortably in Breffini,it must be someone else you're thinking of.

Id be fairly confident we can take them next Saturday.
Leighton Glynn needs to be man marked though,fantastic footballer.
Givney will be more than a match for James Stafford.
Discipline will be needed as Tony Hannon will put frees over from all angles.

The more im hearing about the set up CM,FM is not very far away from the truth..
I dont know about the Johnston dictating bit however however,i didnt hear that.
Noteable players didnt commit this year due to knowing what was going on in the set up.
i dont like throwing people under the bus from behind a username,as its the act of a coward,so im not going to name names.

A sensible policy some of the football-related stories I've heard in the last couple of weeks have been hilarious - completely nonsense but funny all the same

Hit the nail on the head there

Watch the game again and tell me that Nesty was our 2nd best player.Have nothing against the lad but look at the damage Mulrone No.4 did for Fermanagh.He was very influential for Fermanagh. Nesty was good on the ball but in the 2nd half he took an extra solo at times when it should have been delivered.

True about the extra solo but definitely think he was our second best player. No one else really stood out.
