2014 National Football League

There is only one way to answer that question. No. No I am not.

@Spidey, can you ask Ciaran to come on here and answer some questions on his S&C work?

Seems like a nice chap my mate at hawthorn liked him anyway

how as a loais man can you honestly throw that out there after saturdya night?..you are always analyzing other teams players and making snide remarksā€¦now give us a rundown on the laois /armagh game from a laois perspective .I watched the full game and fcuk me but laois are stuck in the dark ages picking big units who canā€™t get round the pitch while the rest of Ireland is picking fast mobile playersā€¦around midfield and half forward every fella was over 6 foot 2 and built like a brick shithouseā€¦

Sorry wait a minute, how does my mentioning of Tomas O Connor inability to kick a football condone anything about Laois football or Laois footballers? I was merely observing his general poor ability, by doing so I was not condoning anyone elseā€™s ability. If you wish for me to give an analysis of Laois and the current teams footballing ability Iā€™ll do so in detail but it strikes me that fuck all here would have any interest in hearing it so why bother? The only other person speaking about Saturday nights game was Rudi and letā€™s be honest, heā€™s obviously on some kind of wind up there.

By the way, I am not denying the usefulness of a target man, remember I am one of the big fans of Eoghan O Gara on this forum, I am merely saying O Connors footballing skills are laughable for a man playing so close to goal.

i see that arsehole kilkenny got injured, hopefully thats it for the cunt

karma caqn really get people back good, give up professional sports & then bang karma strikes and you have to give up your pastime

No but he did once sweep up the tape from his socks in the dressing room in Portlaoise.

Up there with holding Woolies hair band for him back in the 90s.

King Billy Sheehan was owned by Armagh on Saturday night.

Funny to see McKeever crying off ā€˜injuredā€™ rather than face Billy again :smiley:

The only thing thatā€™s laughable is your flip flopping of loyalty. Not to mention your complete misunderstanding of football, now thatā€™s laughable. Whatā€™s also laughable is this kind of fake rivalry you try to create with Kildare I have never heard a Laois or Kildare person ever bring it up.

Given what youā€™ve said on here about all youā€™ve heard, and all you know, its amazing thereā€™s ANYTHING you havenā€™t known or heard.

Shame for him.[/quote]
Kev was way off with Gooch but given the way Kilkennyā€™s knee went in such an innocuous way itā€™s hard to think that he isnā€™t correct here. Classic injury of its type. Kilkenny has had a very heavy schedule of matches over the last few years.

Please do, iā€™m interested in reading it.

Why?

Baffling how he wasnā€™t rested more this year tbh, disappointed in Gavin on this one. Weā€™ll await the man himselfs take on it once @Spidey logs in.

here you go againā€¦Dublin U-21ā€™s v carlow was hardly a taxing game for fuck sakeā€¦he strolled through itā€¦he jarred his fuckin knee on Saturday night ā€¦ because his studs were planted in the turf and didnā€™t turn with his knee, its now Gavinā€™s fault!..

I doubt you even remember what I really said about it. But Gooch had a massive schedule over past few years.

He just reminds me of the other 2 so much. Dual player, commuted clubman, big frame, playing a high level very young and massive expectations.

Heā€™s played every League game for Dublin this year. You might correct me, but he played most of the Byrne Cup games also? As youā€™ll know, its not so much about the games, its the training. I was under the impression Dublin were going to release the U21ā€™s from league duty after Round 1 or 2, but you could confirm that? Just seems unnecessary to play him so much given Castleknock would have had him playing into December twice over the past 3 years iirc.

I realise ACLā€™s have a certain misfortune to them, Iā€™m not like others on here in relation to this, I just think he could have been rested for a few of the games given Gavins strength up front and his dual player status.

Are you going to blame luck again?
